NEEDS FOR BOTH BUILDINGS URGENT
Prastat Facilities at the Pollca Hea4

Hut Ba Made.
Ci.l' f of Police Donahue believe the time
tii-.ne too soon for the city council to begin
to think of putting before the voter next
November the question of voting bonds for
a new city Jail and a work house. Al
though tha subject has been discussed be
fore, the chief believes the needs are ur
gent and that the matter should not go by
default this fall.
The present city Jail, the chief says. Is
growing more Inadequate every day. Out
of 10,500 arrests last year two-thirds of
that number were sentenced and served In
city or county Jails, both places having been
crowded for sometime.
Since the old Dodge street school was
converted Into a Jail the place has had to
have repairs and changes. The roof la
row In bad shape and before another win
ter sets In will need Improving to the cost
of ffiOO. The boiler room in the patrol
barn Is directly under the horso feet.
There are no proper accommodations for
the separation of men and women pris
oner. The Omaha Woman's club and
Women's Christian Temperance union have
continually been after the autho'lt'es to
furnish proper quarters for female pris
oners at the city Jail.
The chief again expresses his opinion
that a workhouse of some permanency I
what the city needs. A shed his hern con
structed at Twelfth and Nlcnolas stnets,
but has not been put Into operation, and
will be only a make-shift at bent.
CARRIERS AFTER GOOD ROADS
Rural Postmen M ill nave Bill latra
dared to Perfect the Meve
tent.
The rural letter carrier of Nebraska are
endcavor ng to secur good roads legisla
tion at Lincoln. Official of the state as
sociation held aa executive meeting at
Lincoln Friday and met members of the
legislature with the view of getting a bill
through that would give to the stats what
they wanted.
"We have a bill drawn up that w believe
will meet the Issue," said B. P. Bowland
of Juniata, president of the association,
who was In Omaha Saturday. "Our plan
In brief Is to make the county assessor re
sponsible for the county roads. Instead ef
the township assessor. And w propose
as a means of recompense to Mm that a
general tax of one-half mill ba levied In
each county. We would suggest that the
poll tax be paid In cash, but we shall not
urge this point, as It may conflict with tha
constitutional laws. Tv'e wouH create a
'good roads fund' and make the county as
sessor custodian of It.
"We have talked with various members
of the legislature and have secured from
everyone favorable consideration and from
some faithful promises of support. Senator
Clark of Adams county told me personally
he would give our bill the most hearty
support. We have secured the co-operation
of Representative La liners of Thayer
and Howard of Adams, and one of them
will Introduce the bill In the house. W
want nothing but what is right 'to make
good roads. We believe we know the need
and Importance of good roads and we hope
the legislature will aid us In getting them."
Aside from President Howland, these
were present at the meeting In Lincoln: F.
H. Talbot, Table Rock, vice president; C.
It, Barber, Stromsburg, treasurer, and P.
V. Helmick, Waco, secretary.
