AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Deadlock Over Maalelpal Appoint meat Take a New Tars, A week ago the city council refused to approve the appointments of Mayor Kout sky, last night the democratlo head of the finance committee attempted to se cure the allowance of the monthly bills for aalary, and the republican wing got even by turning down the appropriation sheet. Thla Is virtually a declaration of war unless a compromise can be effected. The mayor hold that every office with the exception of the city engineer was va cated by Mayor Hoetor's appointees and that he had the right to fill the offices pending the formality of approval. The appointees have beers allowed to perform the duties without Interference. The coun cil even authorised Thomaa Conway, tha appointee a superintendent of the city hall and Jail, all, th right to purchase a flag, seven watse paper baskets and other articles. So apparently the appointees are d faoto officer by reason of performing th dutlea. The withholding of the salaries will work a hardship on some of the fire men and patrolmen and -will make much inconvenience to several city contractors. An item of much Importance wa the fact that among aeveral bond proposal which the clerk wa ordered tO' advertise, by which the city propose to sell bond to th amount of flM.OOO, a cut of $20,000 wa made In the authorised $60,000 sewer bond issue. The amount of money required to complete the ewer system haa been a matter of dispute ever since the deficit was known to exist. At one time this was a bitterly contended question. The action of the council In snaking the cut will awaken considerable discussion. The city attorney in the matter of the special election expenaes refused to advise the money paid to the city clerk be, put Into the general fund, but said the election money should constitute a special fund. After considerable discussion this was done In accordance with his ' advice. He also raised an objection to the prevalent custom of "boosting" the city funds by the col lections accruing from fines', licenses, scavenger collections and similar sources. In the latter case, however, the council did not heed his objection. It cdered $3,004 placed to the credit of the general fund and $2,000 to the street repair fund. A motion waa Introduced by Frank Dworak asking the city attorney to draft an ordinance to compel parties owning more than one adjacent lot, in case water connections were put in, to have separato hydranta for each lot upon which a build ing stood.
