Before the Snow Fliei. !
MOST OF MATERIAL NOW HEEE
City and street Railway Officials Look
Over Places Where It Is Desired
Orade of Tracks ltonld Be
Changed.
That the street railway company expected
to have Its. line along South avenue to the
Iowa School for the Deaf completed before
pnow flies was the statement of R. A.
I.euelr, assistant manager of the com
pany, while In Council Bluffs yesterday.
"We have on hand all the material for the
construction of the extension, except some
special work, consisting of curves, switches
and the like, which we expect will be here
before many day. We are anxious to have
the work completed as soon as possible.
We thought om time's go that the special
work would have been shipped before this,
but the company from which we contracted
to purchase it is somewhat behind with It
order, and ha been unable to fill our order
a soon a had been hoped," said Mr.
Lrusslr.
Mr. Loussler'a visit to the city yesterdsy
morning was to consult with the city council
committee having tho matter In charge rel
ative, to some proposed changes In grade
affecting the company's tracks. He was
accompanied by Chief Engineer Noyes of
the street railway company, and they with
Councllmen Wallace, Hendrix and Moloney
made a tour of Inspection of the point
where the change are proposed. On Pearl
street, from Broadway to Fifth avenue,
the street car track are about two Inches
above the level of the paving, and the com
mittee was Instructed to request the com
pany to raise the paving at the side of Its
track to the level of Its rails. Messrs.
Leussler and Noyes. after a careful Investi
gation of the conditions. Informed the com
mittee they would take the matter under
advisement.
A visit was made to Avenue ' A, from
Nineteenth street west, where the abutting
property owners have asked that the street
car track be brought to grade. In order
that sidewalks may be laid. As no grade
bas ben fixed by the city on Avenue A
west of Twenty-seventh street, Messrs.
Leussler and Noyes stated to the committee
that tha company would not be able to
take any action until this grade had been
established, so that the work of putting the
track In shape could be done at ono time
and not by piecemeal.
It will be a pleasure for us to know that
we have suited you with glasses.
Your pleasure comes with the wearing.

ROYALTY FROM LIGHT COMPAJfY
Thirty-One Hundred Dollar Paid Into
tho Cltr Treasury. .
The city yesterday reoolvod it first
royalty under the contract entered Into
last year with the Citizens Gas & Electric
company. President F.' A- Nash of the
company at a meeting of the .city council
committee on fire and light yesterday
morning turned over to City Treasurer F.
T. Truo a check for $3,100, this being the
amount of the royalty for the year end
ing October 1. Thl money will be t led
Into tho lighting fund and will bo urn d
In defraying the expense of addUlonul
llgits throughout the city.'
The meeting yestarday was for lhs
purpose of corfarrlng on ' the matter of
taking down tho electric' light tower at
Twelfth avenue and Sixth street and re
placing t!.e f lights with Incandescent
to.be dlstii';'. - . along the treets In me
vicinity tf 1! lower. The committee la
bored under the Impression that the elec
tric light cVunpany had offered to furnish
flvn Incandest ents for each arc light taken
from tits towers, but Mr.. Nash said this
wa not the proportion made by him. He
explained that his company had offered to
furnish five Incandcacents for each tower
aro light provided all the tower were
taken down, but only four Incandescent
In tho event that some of the tower wer
loft standing. Although action . In th
case of the tower at Twelfth avenue and
Sixth street was postponed until It Is as
certained how many cf the towers will be
taken down, It Is understood that the com
pany will furnish the requisite number
of Incandoscents when the tower Is takeu
down. The committee was Inclined to con
sider favorably Mr. Nash's proposition,
especially when ho Informed It that his
company aa expecting a consignment
of forty-candle power lnrandesocnt lamps
which would be tried as an experiment In
street lighting. Should they prove satis
factory, Mr. Nash stated the company
would replace all the thlrty-two-candle
power lamps at present In use with tho
forty-candle power lights. The heavier
powered lights would be furnished, Mr.
Nusli said, wUhout additional cost to the
city.
Hcfore any definite action can be taken
tho council wlil have to determine exactly
what it or the people desire as to the
removal or retention of the several towers.
Where tower have been taken down and
the lights replaced with incandescents dis
tributed olong the adjoining streets the
plan has proven satisfactory, but it Is
believed that In some localities the resi
dents will Insist on the retention of tho
towers. Mr. Nash U very desirous of
having the towers tak n down and In his
talk to the committee declared they would
have to be taken down eventually or other
wise they would fall down, as the towers
had at Eighth street and Broadway and
First street and Broadway.
The city council, meeting as a commit
tee of the whole, yesterday afternoon
visited Iowa avenue, where tha residents
had asked for the grade to be established
In order C;at they might lay sidewalks.
The residents are willing to stand the
expense of the grading, which will bo con
siderable, and the committee Instructed
City Engineer Etnyre lo preare a profile
of the grade. '
The committee also visited Graham ave
nue, where it was proposed to narrow the
roadway for the purpose of paving and
laying sidewalks. The committee, however,
met with an unexixntrd obstacle to tho
proposal, when it learned that the street
waa a donated one and that it had been
donated to the city with the express pro
vision tiiat It be li feet wide. Th com
mittee oeclded to poktpene action until the
matter could be laid before City Solicitor

answer to thl qury. The result shows
that the estimate of 1.B00 I too small, and
that 1.000 will be disfranchised at the
spring election. Thl I brought about by
the act of the last legislature, which voted
a property qualification on the request of
the citizen' committee, composed of the
mayor and mot . of the city council, also
A. H. Murdork, A. C. Panooast, J. J. Drsen,
II. B. Fleharty and a number of others.
These men met In ths council chamber and
decided on tho legislation they would ask
of the legislature then In e- '.nr. It Is
certain that the sentime nt . . evallod at
that time that If the T'.r.'.t to vote ln mu
nicipal affairs were restrlc'i'-d to property
owners, then there would be no danger
of the reins slipping out of the hands of
the enemies of consolidation. It can bo
found on page 328 of the complied statutes
of 1907 at the city clerk's ofnee, peragrarh
1.100. eectlon IS, article II, chapter xtll:
The qualification of the electors (voters)
In the several warda shall be the same aa
Is required for electors (voters) under the
laws of the state, provided, however, that
no person shall be qualified tn vote at any
muntclrsl eletlon unleps he sl'nll have
previously resided In said city for sixty
days preced'nsr such municipal e'e:t'n:
and, provided further, thst no rerson shall
he qualified to vote at any city election
unless he shall at the time of offering to
vote at any such election In sild cliy, by
the presentation of a tax receipt, or other
wise prove to the satisfaction of t!ie f
ficers In charge of such election, that le
has paid some municipal tax ln said city
during the previous year.
No exception Is Introduced ta provide for
the "first voter" or the "new voter."
Two Thousand Disfranchised.
A careful elimination .f the personal tax
list. In which a soeclsl effort was made to
cover the legal points tn thin law, shows
that about S.fVX) males are there reoorded.
Of this number 800 at least are urmatm al
lied foreigners who cannot vole. This
leave 3,000 poslble voters who would have
a voice In municipal affairs. The estimated
voting strength of Bouth Omaha, based on
tha election two years ago, when 4.600
voted, I at present fully 6,000. Thl leaves
lOfO voters who will be barred from any
voice In any matter affecting the new aris
tocrat lo government of the city hereafter.
"The men are not of the vicious. Igno
rant nor Idle classes. Many are young
oleiks who live with their parents, single
men whose Investments are in other cities,
government Inspectors who do not care tn
Invest permanently. Some of these have
no property ' which might oe taxed here
and other were never vlaited by the tax
assessors, and are disqualified through no
fault or evasion ot their own. This class
Is as capable a the property owner ln all
reepert. Many of the disfranchised spend
far more of their earnings In the city than
the home owner; Indirectly assisting the
city and paying It taxes. Bvery man who
pays a dol'sr In the city assists ln the
burden of taxation. The man who pays
Indirectly pay most In many cases. Sin
gle men and homeles men as a rule Hpeud
all their earnings, while the home owner
hoards his; the first helps the city, the lat
ter himself."
Tte above is the argument ot a " well
known tepublieen who dislikes the new law
and calls It undemocratic.
The law subirittlrg the question of con
solidation to a. vote of the people fixed
the time at any regular or general elec
tion, hence tb municipal law Is of no
effect this fall in keeping th large class
of disfranchised South Omaha citizens from
expressing thcniatlv. It Is thought that
many will think it better to vote to enter
a city where they will have a vole In
municipal affairs rather than stay tn South
Omaba a here they have no voice here
after. The law ta queta affect uuly
cities with iesa than 4J inhabitants.
