For over an hour Monday afternoon the
city council in committee of tho whole
threshed over the Zlmman ordinance, which
was Intended to reduce expenses of the
city next year by cutting off a number of
employes who are said to be doing work
which could be performed by others now
on the payroll. At times the argument
grew warm, and once or twice became sul
phurous, when Councilman Bridges took
the floor to give his opinion of the at
tempt which he said that he saw to take
democrats from the payroll and make re
publicans do the work.
Mr. Zlmman was the only member of the
council to favor the ordinance, and in
stating his position said that he did not
care who waa dismissed from the payroll
but that the statements of the city en-

could do much of the work performed by

the city engineer the right to employ and

reduce expenses by cutting off sinecures

After a long and desultory discussion
the ordinance was sent to the council Tues

It be tabled. All members but Zlmman
voted In the affirmative. -
An attempt by paving contractors to se
cure the release of a large part of the
money now held by the (Mty as surety for
the fulfillment of guarantees on contract
will come up Tuesday flight after mem
bers of the (Wuriell have conferred with the
legal department. Representing the Bar
ber Asphalt Paving company, James H.
Adams presented a resolution to he effect
that upon the deposit of a surety bond for
the amount, the contractors should be per
mitted to withdraw these "funds, leaving
In their place a fund which shall be equal
to 60 per cent more than the amount re
talned on the largest contract. At present
the fund on each contract amounts to 10
per cent of the total contract. Several
thousand dollars would be released to con
tractors and the attorney says the city
would be well protected, since In twenty-
five years no contractor lias been required
to pay a forfeit under the guaunt&c
clause.

City officials are preparing estimates of

last night, after which advertisements for

With the coming of tho new year some
departments expect to bo In shape to do

cil after tho appropriations had been made.

and salaries during lflOT. This money la
considered but little more than necessary
to maintain the department on Its present

The engineering department expects to
tart work early, so nothing but bad
weather can prevent an early campaign
for new paving and sewers, a large number
being now on tho way, but delayed by lack
of funds In the Intersection fund. One of
the early undertakings will be the placing
of inlets on the new California street
sewer. The sewer Is completed and all
laterals to corners laid, but the city will
be required to Install the Inlets, of which
there will be about twenty.
The department of health will endeavor
to work a revolution in some of its meth
ods. Dr. Connell hopes to have power given
him to maintain a weed-cutting brigade
during the year and to assess the cost of
such work to the owners of property on
which or before which the weeds stand
He also hopes to install a new method of
collecting refuse matter other than gar
bage and to Improve methods of sanitation
In the more thickly settled parts of town,
one Important matter being the connection
of all vaults of houses with sewers and the
total abolition of cess-pools.

Street Commissioner Flynn is making pre

department and In like departments of other
cities preparatory to making a demand for
an allotment of $50,000 for his department
next year. He has received reports from
a number of cities on the subject. These
show that while Omaha with slightly more
than 105 miles of paved streets has spent
$33,000 on street cleaning last year. Salt
Lake with ten miles of paved streets has
averaged $3,500 a month; Minneapolis has
spent f3,000 to clean over 1,000.000 square
yarda; Kansas City $150,000 on 200 miles of
pavement; Denver $81,482 on 823,000 square

INSTITUTE TO HAVE HOME
May Plssolrc. Relations with Hospital
and Establish Separate Quar
ters for Work.
The Omaha Christian Institute and the
Omaha Maternity and General Hospital
association are In negotiation for the can
cellation of a lease on the old Dellone
held Jointly by the two organizations
whereby the institute may withdraw and
leave the hospital in full possession and
charge of the building. The lease does not
expire until January 1, 1909, but a mutual
agreement may be entered Into for its dis
solution one year earlier, or January 1,
1908.
The Christian Institute, of which Charles
F. Robel Is manager, has In contemplation
the establishment of a separate headquar
ters for Its work. The plan is to secure
quarters In the lower section of the city
and establish a home on the order of the
Young Men's Christian association, only
adapted especially to the needs and sta
tions of the men and women who would
ordinarily frequent such a place In that
part of the city. There is some talk of a
rescue home for women and this may be
comprehended In the general plans, but
primarily the Idea la to have a place that
will meet the needs and wants of both
men and women, a place where meals,
beds, baths and exercise, physical and
mental, may be had for nominal cost. Later
If a rescue horns for women only were
possible the Institute would take up ' that
separately.
At present the Christian Institute has
several thousand dollars Involved In the
lease on th Dellone hotel building snd If
terms canbe reached and this money with
drawn It will enable the institute to pro
ceed with Its plans. Mr. Robel Is of the
opinion these terms can be made so as to
permit of a dissolution by the first of the
year. .

After hearing tho reports of tha finance

funds to meet the"Taymenr of the bonded
Indebtedness, Interest, .exchange and
commission, which amounts to $18,126.35, of
which 116,190.35 is due In New Tork.
To provide available funds for the com
pletion of the new Vinton street school
the treasurer was. Instructed to transfer
$22,000 from tho general fund to the Vln
ton building fund; . also to transfer from
the general fund $50,000 to the bond re
demption fund and $1,000 to the Insurance
fund, Warrants were ordered drawn from
the bond redemption fund for $74,000 to
ttike.up 74 bonds due January 1, 1908.
The contract with the Omaha Gas com
pany to furnish lights to thu night schools
at the rate of 25 cents per light, per year,
was renewed for another year.
Besides the aforementioned disburse

to $19,986.89 were allowed, which included
a list of miscellaneous bills for supplies,
services, etc., contractors' and archi
tects' bills for the construction of Vinton

various school buildings.
A committee from Druid Hill waa pres
ent and presented a request for a new ten
room school building in the Druid hill
district, claiming to have a sufficient en
rollment of pupils to call for the erection
of such a building. Action on the matter
was deferred by the board until a future
date.
The meeting Monday night was ad
journed until Thursday, December 16, at
which time the board will clean up the
slate for this year.
ment they were driven to do so In the
present trouble to assist other banks. This
was true no further away than Omaha.
Several of the hanks of Omaha objected
to withholding the rssh and extending the
check system. Others felt they would be
compelled to do It. While one or two
Omaha banks have been willing to pay
rash every day. others have sent to
New York City and secured as high as
$5A),om In currency. One Omaha banker,
who Is a member of the clearing house, has
said that It may he one of the regrets of
his life that he did not leave the Cl.-arlng
House association when It Was proposed to
stop paying rash and continue to pay It
at Ms bank. "I would probably have been
better off In a way If I had paid cash
every day and let the other banks take
cars of themselves, and I may regret that
I did not act Independently, but tha others
wanted to put on the lid," he declared.
YATES IS NOT TOR IT AT ALL
Says Snrh an Inatltatlon Wonld Bo
Calamity to tho Coaatry
Others - Kndorse the
Proposition.
''I have always been in favor of a central
bank and am now, but I do not expect to
see It during my lifetime," said ex-Senator
J. H. Millard, commenting on tho recom
mendation of William B. Ridgley, comp
troller of the currency, for a central bank.
."We will have a central bank when the
country Is older than It is now," continued
Mr. Millard. "The talk about suoh an In
stitution becoming a politic! machine
should carry little weight. Any bank must
be divested of politics. Just the same as
our national banka are. When the central
bank Is originated it will be and must be
divested of politics."
Mr. Millard has frequently urged that
the United States must come some day
to have a system more like that of Canada,
where a central bank and it'branches
make a condition such as has been experi
enced In tha United States the last six
weeks Impossible.
Other bankers of Omaha are opposed to
the central bank. In his address to the
members of the Real Estate exchange last
week, President Henry W. Yates of ths
Nebraska National bank said: "I would
consider the organisation of a great cen
tral national bank as nothing short of a
calamity for this country."
Those who favor It say the feeling that
the organization of such a bank would be
centralisation of government snd giving
away the rights of the states Is whst wliv
prevent, for a term of years, the organi
sation of such a bank.
Banker favoring the central bank plan
declare that allowing the banks to aot In
dependently In Issuing credit currency
would scarcely prevent the reourrence at
any time In the future of present condi
tions.
"When each bank determines Indepen
dently the amount of asset currency It
will Issue it will have In view at all times
its own necessities and Will be likely to
lose sight of the common needs altogether,"
say the bankers.
Concerted Action Impossible.
"Concerted action Is Impossible in the
United States," said a banker, "and If the
committees on finance In the senate and
house condemn the issuance of clearing
house certificates, as they are likely to
do, the united action of banks In the cities
will not be safe nor possible In the future.
Systematic action among the various clear
ing houses has been shown to be Imnos

RAP FOR THE CITY COUNCIL
Montrlpal Affairs t'ommltee of Com
mercial Club Wants Hal of Hoad
Ordinance Enforced.
When the ordinance to repeal the "rule
of the road" ordinance No. 6029 conies up
before the city council the municipal af
fairs committee of the Commercial dub
Will appear on the scene ami object to the
repealing ordinance and recommend the
strict enforcement of the old rule of the
road, which subjects vlolaters to a fine of
$10.
Keeping close tab on the work of the
city council, the municipal affairs com
mittee has been much surprised the repeal
of such a necessary ordinance should even
be suggested and the matter was reported
to the executive committee TuesdAy noon.
The executive committee, which rep
resents TOO to 800 business men, wi.nt
on record against the repealing ordinance.
A nominating committee was appointed
by Chairman W. L. Tetter to nomjnate
130 members from which to elect by ballot
sixty directors. The committee consists of
C. M. Wllhelm, A. P. Karbach and Georgs
Kelly. Mr. Tetter Is chairman of the com
mittee. The election of directors will be
held the second Wednesday In January and
will be followed by a directors' meeting,
when the executive committee and presi
dent for 1908 will be elected.
Chairman E. H. Allen of the transports
tlon committee recommended that Commis
sioner J. M. Guild accept tho .appointment
to membership on the classification com
mittee of the-. National Industrial Traffic
league and tha executive committee In
structed the commissioner to accept tha
position and use what time was necessary
for the work of the oommlttee.
The Industrial Traffic league named a
committee of fifteen some time ago to rep
resent the shippers In conference with the
railroad committee on classification. As
tha work of the committees will be Im
portant to all shippers and ths work of the

FIGHT ON PAVING TAX LAW
Attack Made to Test Constitutionality
f gtatato Permitting- Relevy
by Cltr Connell.
An attack on the constitutionality of the
law which permits the city council to fe
levy a paving tax which has been declared
Invalid, has beon made In district court
by Matilda K. Gardiner, who owns property
in Improvement district No. 410, including
Wirt street from Bhermsn avenu to
Twenty-fourth street. The tax In this dis
trict was declared Illegal by the district
court In a decree signed July 11, 1904, be
cause sufficient names had not been at
tached to the petition. The city council
afterward made a re-levy under tha law
pasaed In 190S permitting a re-levy for work
done after Mareh 15, 1S97.
The petition asasrts this law Is void be
cause it discriminates between the prop
erty owners of districts formed before
March IS, 1S9T, and those formed after
wards. It also asserts the law permits the
taking of property without due process of
law and the bill as passed by ths legisla
ture contained more than one object. The
S'.-it will affect the validity of several
thousand dollars In taxes.
The new theory (backed up by his
preparation) advanoed by L. T. Cooper
with regard to the cause of most ill health
of the present generation Is being sown
broadcast by this young man.
Cooper believes that the human stomach
has becomo degenerate In civilized races
and claims that good health Is Impossible
unless the stomach la revitalised. This he
claims to do with hja, preparation.
An article from the Indianapolis Star
during Cooper's stay In that city has this
to say of Cooper and his preparation:
"Residents of this city are being astounded
by L. T. Cooper and his hew preparation.
"Reports that preceded Mr. Cooper's visit
here told of his success In other localities,
but ths Immense success of his medicine
and the general belief In his theory was
wholly unprecedented.
"80 great is the rush of the public to this
young man that people stand In line wait
ing their turn for hours in an effort to see
him. The most interesting feature of this
Is statements mads by reliable citizens as
to the actual accomplishments of Cooper's
medicine. Among recent statements of
this character the following Is a fair
example:
"Mr. B. F. Campbell of West Wash
ington street, had this to say of hla ex
perience with Cooper: 'I have been a
Victim of stomach trouble for the last five
years sick and suffering pain all ths time.
Everything I ate distressed me. I have
been under the treatment of many phy
sicians, and have taken all kinds of medi
cines, none of which afforded me relief,
was greatly discouraged, and was about
ready to give up, when Mr. Cooper came
to this city to Introduce his preparations.
" 'I was skeptical, of course, after spend
ing so much money and taking such a lurge
quantity of medicine, but, like tho drowning
man, I was ready to grab at a straw, so' I
secured some of Mr. Cooper's New Discov
ery medicine and began taking It. It
aeemed to help right from the first dose. I
hare been taking It for several weeks, and
can now eat heartily and enjoy my meals
for the first time In five years eat any
thing, without pain or distress of any kind.
I feel Ilk a new being Ufa Is worth living
now.' "
