GOES TO REPRESENTATIVE LEE SATURDAY Provision Enables Mayor nnn Cssa. ell to Increase Total Fnnd from Million to Million ( ssi. Qnnrtor. Attorney J. P. Breen Saturday afternoon .will hare ready for delivery to Representa tive Mlko Lee n draft of the Omater Omaha bill to bo Introduced In th legislature. Accompanying this bill will be several amendment and change on th city char, ter, theao auggestlon being what are thought necessary for Omaha regardlei of any consolidation proposition. J Tba charter change have to do mainly ' with th funds, there being a provision th that th city council and mayor shall hav power to Increase th total fund to tl.2oO,- W la pine of U.uuo.vMt an cow LL case, thus making th charter of sufficient elas- I tlclty to meet any contingency in the event of consolidation before th next legislature meet. Th Real Estate exchange and Commer cial club hav been .active In figuring out th present needs In th way of increased appropriations for fire, police, .park and engineering department of Omaha. Th proposed plan Is to hav n charter provision taat th maximum amount to b set sslde for th engineering department shall be tlSZ.Ouo, which sum shall cover not only the engineering department as It 1 now ope rated, but include all present operations of th street commissioner' office, making the two department virtually one. Fund used by the two . department during ISO amounted to 1170,40, and apportionment set asida for this year for th same depart ment aggregate SltS.SoO, th difference In those sum being due to Mayor Dahlman' cut of IS0.0U0. Th proposed $191,000 total for th two department is about 3,0u0 more than wan allowed In lKM. Division at Fnnd. Just how th 1182.000 should be divided among the various department of th en gineer office la n matter which la left for th council to decide on Just as they have beta apportioning tba general tuaA of UtSS.OOO through the ; various department. It la proposed to make the police and fir funds I1M.0O each, th charter at present allowing th former 1115.000 and th latter 1176,009. No change ha been suggested In th lighting fund, which 1 now specified in th charter at $70,000. Th park fund, ac cording to th proposed change, should be raised from $30,000 to a minimum of $75,000 and maximum of $100,000, although it 1 believed those figure will be changed to $60,000 and $75,000, respectively, before th amendment are offered for coiuadera. Uon at Lincoln. No Changs 1 contemplated In th library fund, which now stands at $22,000. With th addition mentioned to engi neering, police, firs and park fund (con sidering the Inst at $60. OOO). there would be added to present running expense of the city $132,000. Th proposition is to add $150,000, adding th difference of $13,000 to what la known as the general fund. ' The charter now authorise the city to raise by taxation n gross sum of $750.u00 for gen eral purpose and $20,000 for linking fund. Th addition mentioned would Increase th total amount to be raised to $1,150,000, or $Ai0,ud0 more than Mayor Dahlman ex pert to run th city on this year. , Tt Cftatcc Oiuafra Ull, an already drafted, provide that whenever n city of th first class shall adjoin th boundary lln of a metropolitan city for the aggregate distance of a mile th city of th first class shall become part of the such metropolitan city upon the filing with the governor of a certiiicate by the county surveyor stating that the boundary lines adjoin In the manner stipulated. Omaha and South Omaha boundary lines adjoin for over two miles. The bill mentioned contemplates consolidation by legislative enactment in a manner similar to that which ha been ac complished in many part of the country, Kansa City being an Instance. The bill provide that the governor shall Issue a proclamation, and if that Is issued four months or more before th date of the regular tat and county election within th year then the city council of th metropolitan city shall have power and It shall be Its duty to divide th consoli dated territory Into twelve wards, and at the next election, as provided for In the act, an election shall be held throughout th consolidated territory. Should an election be held next Novem ber under this bill the South Omaha offi cials would only be cut off of four month service. The rst of the bill contains legal provl uu mm!, turulnif Mvar nuhUo nranarty. GOVERNMENT JS IN EARNEST Assistant Attorney General Bar Psblle Is Intra of that by Now. 8peclat Assistant Attorney General M. C. Burch of Washington la In Omaha enroute to the west on business connected with the investigation of land matter. Mr. Burch visited District Attorney Ooss and Special Assistant District Attorney Rush at the federal building Friday morning for a brief conference. "There is no significance In my visit here," said Mr. Burch. "I merely stopped over for a short visit and will proceed west this afternoon. I Just learned of th acquittal of th Modlsett this morning while on th train. Mr. Rush nnd Mr. Ooss hav made an excellent fight, but It is hardly to b expected that tbey should win all of them. The trial ha shown on very Important thing, and that 1 that the government I in deadly earnest In the prosecution of alt violation of th land law, and I venture th observation that the parties will not take any more chance to obtain control of publlo lands. "Ja Uio east lh pubjlo aud ogrporaUraf are beginning to realize that when th government get after any violation of th law that it mean buslnet, and th ten dency is growing rapidly to adhere as Closely a possible to the law in every de partment of Industrial and commercial activlty., COUNTY NOT SO EASY NOW Commissioner Hesitate Before l'sur on Bid of lv Trast ssd Prlster. Let th taxpayers of th county drop thetr load of dull car at the threatening prospect of being taxed usurlously by th Ice trust for supplier of the congealed sum mer comfort to th county Institutions this summer. Th commissioner hav not yet let th contract. Th Ice trust wants $6 cent n hundred for Ic delivered to the court house and county JulL Thl is $7 a ton. Coal Is almost as cheap and doesn't melt a fast while the delivery man la car rying it from th wagon to th nous. Those who are In n position to know wink th eye and those who hav observed th campaign of economy now being con ductal t th commissioner Siid tag county auditor, shrewdly guess that the Ice man ha another bid coming. The trust ad mitted that in making this bid It was al lowing for all th vicissitudes of weather and the chances of a short crop. In other words, the trust wasn't taking any chance and was letting th county take them all. If there should be a small crop of Ice th trust would still have a fair profit from th county, and if th Ice crop should prov to be normal the profit would be very grati fying indeed to the company. It is likely the commissioners will hold up the Ice bids for a month or two until It 1 known what kind of an lc harvest ther will be. In th matter of printing, alio, th county I going to save a wad of money. It Is said th printer of th city "got together last year and th county paid about thre price for it printing. Tills year new spe cifications were prepared and there Is an amazing reduction on th price. Lai it year the plain record cost 115. this year It I $6 23. The four appearance docket last year cost $1U, this year the price I $4SL Tax receipt for back years cost $&2 last year and the same number this year coat $j00. Th ao.ono sheet of typewriting paper needed cost $150 last year, whll thl y they at oJXurd fur PX 1! fs
