VILL PROCEED TO GET CITY WATER PLANT
Commission Mill Treat with Presi
dent of Com pa ay When He
Haa Bnaiaesa Proposi
tion to Sobnilt.
Members of the Omaha Water board
aid they came up smiling after reading the
letter of Theodore C. Woodbury, president
of tha Omaha Water company, under date
of December 17. That communication, the
members said, will not change their course
of going ahead and acquiring a municipal
water plant as outlined in their order No.
10, adopted at the last regular meeting.
President Woodbury's letter was handed
to Attorney Carl C. Wright to speak for
the i.ter ' bmixd. The letter will be
brought up In regular order of business at
the next meeting of tha board, which will
be Wednesday evening, January 2.
"Tha position of tha Water board doesn't
eem to please Mr. Woodbury," said Mr.
' Wright, "and I do cot presume that the
Water board felt It was exactly complying
with his wishes. I do not know what the
Water board will do, but I am not in
clined to think it will anter into a letter-
writing discussion with Mr. Woodbury.
Ills letter was evidently drafted for publi
cation; otherwise, If he had any proposition
to take up with the board, he would pre
sent some remedy rather than scold tha
board.
"I personally do not . cars to discuss
through the newspapers the legal proposi
tions taken up by Mr. Woodbury, but It
would appear to me that if he is so confi
dent of the right of the company to re
cover the , 263, 29u.49 from the city, under
the appraisement of two engineer, he need
not worry about any action the board has
taken or may take In the future. If that
appraisement Is valid and binding, any ac
tion of the board, of course, could not af
fect the water company's rights In the
matter.
Why Not Dismiss the Salt.
"It Is peculiar that It they have such
a perfect system of water works and It is
of so much greater value than the two ap
praisers fixed, that that company should
be so anxious to compel the city to pay
the 1(1,263,295.49. If this plant is worth
more than the amount fixed by the two
engineers, why doesn't he accept the
rescission and dismiss the suit to compel
the city to buy the works? As I under
stand, the Water board, it Is ready at any
time to consent that any additions neces
sary to supply Omaha with water, may
be made, and that the cost thereof may
be repaid It a purchase Is completed. ' But
to pay not only the cost, but Interest
thereon, made necessary by the Increased
demand of Bouth Omaha, is asking too
much.
"The Water board does not desire to
purchase the works of this company for
less than a fair valuation, ' but it does
mean to put Itself in such shape, If possi
ble, that tha city will not be held up by
tha Omaha Water company, or any re
organization beard which controls the
same. In one of Mr. Woodbury's previous
letters he stated the bill to compel the
city to purchase the works at the ap
praised valuation Was prepared and ex
pected to be filed If the appraisement went
above $4,000,000, from which it seems to
be fairly Inferred that the company was
prepared to sell the works and to force
the purchase thereof If the appraisement
was anything substantially above $4,000,000.
Some Fiscal Features.
"When we commenced this appraisement,
the bonds of the company, which amounted
to about $1,600,000, bearing B per cent Inter
est, upon which default had never been
made, could have been bought on the mar
ket for about $4,200,000, and this, to the ordi
nary business man, would Indicate about
the value put on the plant by the bond
holders, who are the real owners of this
plant. The idea that this plant Is worth
any such sum as $6,000,000 seems to rest
with the reorganization committee, whose
salary and Influence in the matter depends
on maintaining control of this plant and
prolonging litigation.
"Again, from the most accurate Informa
tion I can obtain, the Omaha water plant
has never paid above 7 per cent on $4,000,000,
and as 2 per cent would be a fair amount to
set aside for reduplications, it would ap
pear that, estimated by business methodH,
the value of this plant ought not greatly to
exceed $4,000,000.
"Whenever Mr. Woodbury desires In good
faith to present any resusonable proposition
to the water board for action, rather than
for publication, I can assure him that the
board will meet with him at any time and
act upon the same as one business man
would deal with . another."
Milton T. Barlow, chairman of the Water
board, said he failed to find any new phase
of the water situation touched on In the
recent letter of President Woodbury, and
said the letter would not have the slightest
effect on the present plan of action of the
Water, board. Mr. Barlow said there would
be no special meeting of the board, which
would pursue the even tenor of Its way.

WOMEN IN CLUB AXD CHARITY
' A meeting of the club presidents and
representatives of clubs . from all over
Massachusetts was held, last week in Bos
ton, for preliminary arrangement for the
biennial convention of the General Federa
tion of Women's Clubs to be held In that
city In 1908. While It Is still too early to
determine the more definite details, much
was accomplished in the way of assigning
certain preliminary work. Interest in the
big meeting is keen all over the state, as
was evinced by the large gathering. It
was decided that each club shall hold a
"biennial hour" for ths consideration of
plans, which will In turn be communicated
to the local biennial board at Boston, and
in this way each club may be apportioned
its share In the' hospitality. The council
to be held at Saratoga, N. T., next June
will determine many of the things now
unoertaln, and by that time the program
committee expects to have Its , work well
under way.
Forty-nine patients, 490 visits, five patients
sent to hospitals and three deaths was the
report for the last month from, the Visit
ing Nurses' association, which held Its De
cember meeting Thursday afternoon. There
was general discussion of the appropriation
of Jo, 000 by the city council for a hospital
for the care of contagious diseases and
general satisfaction at this provision that
the nurses have so long urged. The as
sociation will not, however, have anything
to do with the management of the Institu
tion, as It was understood It wished to
have. The nurses already have mors to
do than they can do and have no desire to
assume further responsibility.
The local Women's Christian Temperance
union will furnish the Christmas tree for
the Douglas County Detention school and
will supply a gift for each child. For sev
eral years unlil last Christmas the union
has sent candy and fruit to the prisoners
of the county Jail, but last year the women
decided that It might mors profitably re
member the children who through mis
fortune and neglect are the charges of the
county. In place of the fruit and candy
the inmatse of the Jail were sent a spray
of holly with an appropriate Bible verse
attached. This Christmas the spray of
holly and Bible verse will be accompanied
by a white handkerchief for each prisoner.
The children at the detention school will
have their tree Christmas eve. The union
also made its monthly allowance of (15 for
the city mission at Wednesday afternoon's
meeting.
Miss Maria Brehra of Illinois, for the
last five years president of the Illinois
Women's Christian Temperance union and
one of the well known national temperance
workers, will spend New Year's day In
Omaha, the guest of Mrs. Fred Patterson.
Miss Brebm was lnelegible to serve another
term as president of the Illinois union, and
Is serving this year as a temperance lec
turer for the Presbyterian church.
The appropriation of $250,000 by congress
fdr the enforcement of the national pure
food law Indicates that the new law is to
nrran something. This should stimulate
not only club women, but all women to
give tbelr Influence for state legislation
that will accomplish what tha federal law
Is unable to cover.
Fifty-three thousand new articles was
this year's record of the London Needle

having been made December s and t. One

cess of Wales was a feature of the exhibi
tion. This group Included about 12.QS0 arti
cles of clothing, bedding and table linen.
A small collection of winter comforts made
