I w r r - - r"j CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS New Street Car Transfer Ordinance Passed I w.th Ore Dissenting; Vet. DUPLICATE OF THt ZMMAN MEASURc Claanurr Resolution for Taking Money from General Knml for PatIos. Itepalrs la Voted Down. The new street car transfer ordinance was parsed Tuesday evening by the coun cil, Councilman Davis being the only ono to voto against the measure, lie changed his vote from aye to nay before the roll had been called through. The ordinance will be sent to the mayor for signature In the usual way and will become a law thirty days after passage. This ordinance waa Introduced by Councilman Johnson and Is a copy of one offered by Councilman Zlmman a month ago. It provides for the issuance of transfers at all points to en able passengers to ride from starting pblnt to destination by the most direct and con venient route for one fare, with the stipu lation that the street car company may be protected against round trips for one fare. Yesterday afternoon the street car offi cials stated It would be a pooer to devise a system of transfers In accordance with the new ordinance and to protect tho com pany In the matter of round trips for one fare, unless passengers are required to ask for transfers at the time fare Is paid. Thi passage of this ordinance waa an occasion of relief for the councilmen, who declared the transfer situation hal been a nightmare to them since the passage of the existing transfer ordinance last August. Paving; Repairs Defeated. Councilman Elsasser offered a resolution to tako 11,000 out of the general fund and apply on pavement repairs, the mayor hav ing agreed to sign such a concurrent reso lution, the city attorney's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. The resolution was lost by a vote of 7 to 1 Councilman Bridges, Elsasser, Jackson and Zlmman voting for It A week ago the city attorney advised the council that each member would be liable under his bond If money be taken from the general fund for repair ing pavements, which act would be In di rect violation of the city charter. Mayor Dahlman sent a communication on the sub ject to the council last evening. In which missive he declared he waa ready to act In the matter regardless of what the city attorney said on the subject. The mayor's communication on the mat ters of rock pile, market house, hospital for contagious diseases and tl gas was placed on file without comment In that letter the mayor said: "You geptlemen have done nothing to redeem your pledges regarding $1 gas. The people are still pay ing the freight." The mayor said he had made personal Investigations and thought the hospital for contagious diseases was a public necessity Jn Omaha. An appropriation ordinance covering part of the expenses entailed by the recent elec tion was read the first and second times. The ordinance showed a total of $4,758 and covered pay of special police, clerks and Judges and printing. Comptroller Lobeck advised that police, clerks and Judges could secure their warrants December iq. Street Car Fnre Ordinance Lost. The railway committee report recom mending that ths ordinance providing for twenty-five street car tickets for fl be not passed was offered and adopted by the same vote with which the measure was lost in the committee of the whole yester day.

J9S9,654.89 SQUABBLE OVER WORK OJf SEWERS Mike Lee Makes Denial of Fake Report He Is an Inspector. Incidental to Tuesday evening's session of the city council Councilman Bridges said he looked over the work being done on the big relief sewer, being started at Sixth and Jones streets, and found one Inspector zzATheSiwof first breakfast of TP a with lti rich maizes be is C 11 aorta li.Ua STERUIZSA , i wujrm ai.s njy stm a; superintending the work of two brick layer and a second Inspector supervising a mortar mixer. This statement was di rected toward City Engineer Rosewater, who was present and made vigorous re ply. Evidently Mr. Bridges' point was not taken with much seriousness, as no one else ventured to enter the polemic between Mr. Bridges and the engineer. The coun cil took no action n the matter, which was brought up merely in n Informal way for the "good of the order." The Inspectors In question are Tom Lee and Robert Firman, recommended by the city engineer and appointed by the coun cil a few weeks ago at a wage of $o per day. Mr. Bridges said he failed to see any economy being Exercised by the en gineering department in the matter of In specting the work on this sewer Job and thought two Inspectors for three workmen rather an expensive luxury for the city. Mr. Rosewater explained that the sewer Is now being constructed at a vital point and that the condition cited by Mr. Bridges was an exception rather than a rule. He explained that exigencies of the work might explain the small force of workmen on the Job recently and referred to his saving the city 115,700 on this contract by recommending rejection of bids several times until the bid accepted was that amount lower than the lowest bid first offered. The vagaries of names have played a humorous part In the Inspection of this sewer. When the appointments were con firmed by the council the report went out that the "Tom Lee" appointed was the former city prosecutor of the some name and that personage, having failed In his fight to hold the city prosecutorshlp, was glad to get the Job of inspecting brick work on a sewer for 16 per diem. The public was reassured that Inspector Totn Lee was not the former city prosecutor. Comes now Mike Lee, legislator, with a denial that the 'Mlhe Lee," referred to yesterday afternoon by a local newspaper In connection with the sewer Inspection matter, Is the Mike Lee recently elected to the legislature and at present draft ing a Greater Omaha charter. Mr. Lee said: "The Junior yellow Journal had a flaming article on Us front page oil Tuesday even ing which stated that Councilman Lee Bridges had said ' that Representative Lee and another. Inspector were draw ing IS per day for watching two bricklayers and a laborer at work on the Jones street sewer. "I have had no connection whatever with the city government since the democrats got control of the sewer department last September, and the stupid councilman ought to know,, that under our present charter I could not become an Inspector without the confirmation of the mayor and council. But It was not aimed at me so much as at City Engineer Rosewater. It shows how anxious the contractors' ring Is to misrepresent him." zimman's ordinance: IS LOST Bill to Reduce Street Car Fares la Tabled. Councilman Harry B. Zlmman' street car ordinance, providing for the sale of twenty-five tickets for tl, was lost yester day afternoon In' the general committee room of the city council. The vote to table the ordinance was: Johnson, Bridges and Zlmman, nays; Sheldon, Davis, Bfucker and McQovern, yeas. A minority report will not be offered on this ordinance for some time, at least. Councilmen Zlmman and Bridges declared they would let the matter rest for ' the present and agitate the measure through Improvement clubs and thus finally bring the issue before the voters through the medium of ths Initi ative and referendum law. The discussion over twenty-five tickets for tl took up Monday afternoon and a part of yesterday afternoon. Councilman Zlm man was practically alone In the fight for the ordinance.-wMW Vice President Wat tles, for the street 'car company, presented that company's side of the case. Yesterday's discussion ' was of a general nature... Mr. Wattles said It would not be a wise thing for the council at this time to pass the ordinance. ' He agreed to meet Mr. Zlmman when he spoke before Improve ment clubs and would be willing at any time even to put the matter to a vote of tho citizens, being fully persuaded that Omaha people would prefer continued Im provements and better service than a 4-cent fare. Mr. Zlmman contended that yesterday's expression of the council would not settle the matter. lie said he would keep up tho fight. ' "I do not think citizens of Omaha would subscribe to a doctrine that would yield owners of the street car property only In terest on the Investment," Mr. Wattles said.

Once upon a time Miss Kennark was a prime favorite locally, and It might be thought that her friends of those days would be only too glad to wel come her as a star; but, the public Is fickle, as actor folks find out. Miss Ken nark Is even a better actor today than she was In those times when she was the pride of the stock company at the Crelghton. She still has her magnificent vllce, soft, musical, and strong In Its rich fullness; her presence is pleasing as it ever was, and she has the advantage of added experience to enable her to direct the uses of the charms of voice and person that make her attractive. But Omaha has apparently for gotten; at any rate the attendance at the Boyd theater last night did not Indicate any undue anxiety on part of the public to see Miss Kennark In the role of the heroine of Clyde Kltch's comedy, "The Toast of the Town." Miss Kennark Is undeniably clever, and Is of sufficient capacity to Interpret a Clyde Fitch role. It climbs no heights and It sounds no depths. In the lighter phases of the role Miss Kennark la charming, and In Its more tense moments she Is con vincing. Her work has always carried with It something of sincerity, and never more than In this. Miss Vane Is an excellent foil for Betty in the ' character of the selfish and shallow Roxana Mr. Anthony Is a good duke, and the others In the com pany afford capable support. The stage Betting Is the same rich equipment used by Miss Allen lost season.
