July 10 To the Editor of The Bee: There has been considerable controversy of late, brought about by tha enormous gas tsnk which the gas mm pah.' Intend to erect si the turner of Twentieth tnd Center streets. A word from the property holders in the vicinity may not be smls.: These property hold ers were here fur jesrs before the tanks and factory were erected snd would never have permitted the erection of the same had they re.iltred what sort of menace to life and health and property such a plant Is. .We object to thie tanks prin cipally for the following reasons: First They constitute a 'menace to life and health. Second They cause a depredation of the value of our property. Third They are a general nuisance. That such gas plant and as holders are a mefince 16 life and h'-slth Is arhply attested by the fact thst such tsnks have frequently exploded before In New York, in Chicago and In other places, where con siderable loss of life- and property oc curred; also, here In Omaha, where sev eial such explosions have taken place. Once' In particular. January 19. 104, one of Hie tanks exploded, bursting a. large hole In Its sldf from Which Issued such volumes of gas that the gas company Im mediately ordered the people in the vicin ity' to" put out their fires and lcaye their homes without offering them any shelter or sssistanco whatever, not even aiding In any way a lady .In delicate circum stances, whom ' they ordered from her home, simply leaving all to the tender mercies of the mid-winter breezes and the snow-dad streets. These explosions can and will occur again. What If a fire should take place In a house now standing not twenty feet from one of tanks? What If one of them should be struck by lightning? Only lately an automobile exploded on West Farnam street and pieces were hurled for three blocks and windows broken one block away. - What If a gas holder, 130 feet In diameter and fifty fect higher than the New York Life building, should explode? A school at tended by over 400 pupils stands within the 1,000 feet radius of the gas holder:, also a church, often visited by over 1,000 people at one time. What If such an explosion should occur during church services or school hours? The panic alone, which would almost surely result, might cost many lives. The gas tanks depreciate our property. Real estate men refuse to make loans on our property for the sole reason of its nearness to the gas plant. The rents of our houses have decreased; Insurance rates have been raised. The icas company sarys It ha Invested many thousands ot dollars. Have the homes of all of us no value? Have ur live no value. Is our good health of no value? . These tanks must not necessarily be here; they need not be within the city limits anywhere;-only th- gas ompany does not wish to be put to the expense of moving Its plant or of building a new tank else where, becwus'e It Considers Its dollars of greater Value than the' lives snd health and property ot the residents of the vi cinity. - The 'tanks are a nuisance. Lt any one who wishes to Inform himself on this question pay a visit to the corner of Twen tieth and Center streets and smell the ever present odor of gas which, can frequently be :smeUed Tor several blocks around; let him see the clouds of smoke and the sheets of "flame which' Issue every few. minutes day and ilght7rom the works; let him hear the -thundeT which reverberates as often through the air, loud enough to make the uninitiated look about for an Approaching storm; let him live here a. while In constant dread of .an ever likely explosion which may sweep himself and all he loves and own Into eternity then he will appreciate why It Is that we are fighting the erection of more gas holders, and why we want the whole works removed ' outside the city limits. Then he will see why It Is that the gas company has been driven from or haa been prohibited from, locating In other locations throughout the city. Every one expects thst South Omaha will soon be part of our. city; In that event the gas works wU4.be in the very heart of our metropolis; certainly no ornament, but a disfigurement calculated to make life and property unsafe for blocks around. The water works plant Is" located' at Florence and pumps water all through the city. Now, water requires much power to be moved over 'a great distance; gas travels anywhere In the direction of . least re sistance, and therefore could be distrib uted as cheaply .from outside the city limits as from the present location. The above facts were very well presented, and the legality of the city ordinance now In force prohibiting the erection of a new gas holder without the consent of the propertyholders within a radius of 1,000 feet most ably defended by the city legal de partment against the gas company recently. Although Mr. Pritchett, for the gas com pany, argued that any one who could not see how unreasonable and absurd the pres ent ordinance Is, must have no more brains than a monkey, nevertheless Judge Day decided in all Justice against him. Where upon the gas company la again "trying to overthrow the ordinance upon a techni cality. This1 rnstter concerns not only the people near .the present gas plant, but' every cltlsen of Omaha. For, if the present or dinance falls the gas company, has a tight to erect a holder or plant anywhere In the city. . For this reason all Improvement clubs ars supporting our cause, and we are surs of victory. (Signed) THE NEW BOCTH SIDE IMPROVE MENT CLUB. . HERRMANN 8CHCNKE. J. M. LIES, President. Secretary.

ALL BUT ONE ABOVE THE ESTIMATES Fsarta National Itauk mt Seer tnrk Deellaea to Dfroiar Depositary of llty SeoarHleo aad Another Rank la ftnbstltated. All order of business were side-tracked at lat night a council meeting that the council might take up tha bids m the j sewer system. A fair crowd was in the hall. Among the contractors there were many firms represented. It was found, however, that only four firms had offered bids and not all these had hid on all branches of the system. The firms were Dan Hannon, George I'arka, James Jensen snd the Denver Building and Construction company. As a rule the bidding was high and In nearly every case too high to be considered, as they overreached the engi neer's estimates. The bid of the Denver company was. howver, within the estimates all the way through and covered every branch of the- sewer except the north branch of the N street gulch sewer. The bid of this company therefore injures the construction of the sewer, which Is a source of great relief to the city engineer. After the adjournment E. M. Rohrbough expressed himself In effect as follows; ."I am satisfied that there ran be but one bid considered for the reason thnt It 4 the only one whlrh lies within the estimates. That Is the bid of the Denver company. Their hid Is very good. Where they got their data for the hid I do not know. They have never visited the office to my knowl edge." On one section of the Mud creek sewer George Parks had the lowest bid. hut his bid on the rest of the sewer was high. The engineer Is of the opinion that on hla esti mates there Is a margin of at lesst 110.000 to guarantee a contractor. Some of the contractors thought thl too smalt for the chance taken. I'pon the reading of the bids the mayor refen-ed them to the committee on viaducts, streets and alleys for tabulation. They will be reported on at the next meeting of the council. Bids on Sidewalks. Aside from the bids on the sewer there were bids opened for the construction of permanent sidewalk of brick. Gus Hamel and P. J. O'Connor were found to be the low htdders. O'Connor's bid was from 1 cent to half a cent lower. These bids were also referred to committees for sction. Tho bid of Dan Hannon on S street grading from Eighteenth to Twenty-fifth was also received without competition. After this a communication from Spltxer ft Co., stating that the Fourth National bank of New Tork had refused to become a repository for the . $160,(VlO In municipal securities which was to have been de posited with them as additional security Insuring the faithful performance of the contract of Spltxer Co. with the City- of South Omaha. The company therefore asked that the Mercantile National bank be named, which bank would be- willing to transact the business renulred of the Fourth National. This by resolution the council agreed to do. Adjournment wn then taken until Wednesday evening, when the committees will be ready to make their reports. . Made City Onset. Mies M. C.

W0.UI IR CLU3 AX9 CHARITY. It romrs as good news, especially to those members of the press who have covered a biennial, that there Is movement on foot among some of the prominent women of the General Federation of Women's Clubs to aliollsh the foolish and unnecessary secrecy that has In the past been maintained re garding the result of the sitting of the nominating committee previous to the bi ennial election of officers. At several of the biennials this result has been re garded with a diligence that exceeded pre caution to the extent of flagrant discour tesy to press correspondents and for no better reason than a tradition that the result should be withheld from the press until announced to the convention. The useleesnesa of such secrecy has long been evident to many of the women and they have protested sgnlnst the members of th committee pledging themselves In this way. This was the case at the St. Paul meeting last June. . - Mrs. Walter Stokes Irons of Rhode Island, chairman of the nominating com mittee, urged the members not to vote for secrecy, but she was disregarded and In consequence, as haa always been the case, while the press had the report of the com mittee next morning, It had to secure It at the expense of broken pledges on the part or members,' Mrs. Irons, with others who realise the Injustice of this old plan to the committee members a well as to the press. Is agitating the adoption of a new rule at the next biennial and they have received the hearty co-operation of officers of a number of states that promises betteT things In future. The child labor law prohibiting the em ployment In sny manufacturing establish ment of the state of Georgia of any chl'd under 12 years or of any child under 14 at night seems almost assnredM as the upper house of the Georgia legislature con firmed without a dissenting vote. July 30, this measure, which passed the lower house July IS by a vote of 125 to 2. Pub lic sentiment Is so generally In fnvor of the law that there Is little danger of Its veto by the governor unless some flaw can be found In It, which Is scarcely probable. Tbe law will not become operative until January 1, 1908. The repeated failure of the club women to secure such legislation In the past had almost discouraged them, and It had been practically decided It this year's effort failed to Work from another side next time and urge compulsory edu cation law. It Is probable that they will do this anyhow, as the new law only ac complishes part of the much-needed legis lation for tho protection of the children now and ne future cltlxens. The legisla tive work of women in the south has en countered bitter opposition not only from those whose financial. Interests were at stake, but from those conservative ones who. resent the extension of women's In terests. Miss Charlotte Templeton, secretary of the State Traveling Library Commission, was In Omaha recently and is enthusiastic over her new work, she having succeeded Miss Edna Bullock last spring.

I: 2 - H OYCOTT STILL IN EFFECT Embareo Acainit Rook Island Rot Lifted by 8op Thro Cat ROAD DOES NOt MEET OMAHA'S DEMAND McVann Declares Memphis Equalisa tion la Real Objection and Abro gation of Kansas City Eleva tion Is Sot Victory. When the Omaha Grain exchange and the Omaha Commercial club declared a boy cott on the Rock Island two concessions were demanded, the payment of elevation llowance at Omaha as at Kansas City and he elimination of the Kansas City-Mem phis rate. The announcement of the Rock Island that it would abrogate the payment of elevation allowances at Kansaa City does not meet either one of these demands, says Secretary McVann of the Grain ex change, and even If It did the boycott would till be on until the other point was yielded That the RocV Island has not msde even a semblance of peace with the commercial interests of Omaha Is made clear In this statement made by Secretary McVann Mon day. It is extremely unfortunate that, the ae Hon Of the Rock Island road depriving the Kansas City dealers of the elevation allow nee of 1M cents should have been heralded as a victory for the Omaha commercial In terests. ( In the first place, Omaha never asked that Kansas City be deprived of this ad- antage, but only that It should be. given to Omsha, which Is an entirely different proposition. In th second plsce, the real controversy between Omaha and the Rock Island sys tem has been chiefly over the Kansas Clty- Memphle 'equalisation' plan, which was un der discussion t the time th elevation al lowance discrimination wa sprung. W had notified the Rock Island people In plain language that we would not stand for the Memphis 'equalisation' plan, and that If Vice President Blddle persisted In putting It In effect It would make trouble for the Rock Island rosd in Omaha, because we could not be on friendly relations with one member of a family, another member of which was breaking into our back yard and stealing our grain. Attltnd Is Not Changed. We want every business msn In Omaha to know that the position of the Commer cial club and the Grain exchange toward the Rock Island system haa not been changed one whit by reason of the can cellation of the Kansas City elevation al lowance. As a matter of fact, when Mr. Gower, freight traffic manager of the Rock Island road. - was here he and Mr. Utt, their geneial agent, called on me and made a tentative proposition for settlement of our difference with that road, based on the elimination of the elevation discrim ination. . I absolutely declined to conaldor any proposition from them which would not Include the cancellation of the Kansas Clty-Memphls 'equalisation' tariff. 'I did not consider It worth while to give out any particulars regarding my conference with ' Mr. Gower, except that It failed of results, but th Rock Island people knew well that they could not set tle their differences with Omaha by can celling the Kansas City elevation allow ance or even by giving It to us without also adjusting the Memphis situation. "I have this morning a long letter from Mr. W. B. Blddle, who Is vie president, In charge of traffic of both the Rock Island and 'Frisco system, in which he uttempt to defend the position of the 'Frisco system with regard to th Memphis 'equalisation.' I will reply to this letter todsy and In my reply I will make It very clear to Mr. Blddle that the Kansas Clty- Memphls 'equalisation' basis must be can celled before the difference between the Rock Island road and the commercial In terests of Omsha can be adjusted.
