CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

Viaducts is Passed.
M'GOVEBN HITS AT HACK FARES
Question of What Amount (Hr
Should Allow Election Officers
la la Dispute and Pay
Held I p.
By a vote of 11 to 1. the city council on
Tuesday evening passed the ordinance to
tax all subways and viaducts under and
above public streets and alleys In the clty
of Omaha that now exists or may hereafter
be constructed. Counollman Bridges alone
voted no. He Is not opposed to the prin
ciple, he explained, but believes the
amount fixed. 25 mills of assessed valuation
of the lots tapped by subways, is too high.
To carry out the provisions of the ordi
nance, the city engineer will locate and
measure all subways, and the building In
spector will perform a like duty as to via
ducts or bridges connecting buildings.
Councilman McGovern Introduced an ordi
nance, which was referred, providing for
repeal of an existing ordinance permitting
a charge of 50 cents for hauling travelers
between the I'nlon and Burlington sta
tions. The new ordinance would permit a
charge of 10 cents only for any distance
under a quarter of a mile.
Election Officers Pay Vndeelded.
Comptroller Lobeck desired to have the
council arrange to pay Judges and clerks
of election $2 as the city's share of their
stipend for serving at the last election.
The school board and the county have al
ready paid 12 each to the election officials,
and the point was raised that the city
should only pay 11, thus making the 5
.Specified In the law. The matter went
over until next meeting.
The Judiciary committee will consider an
ordinance Introduced by Councilman Berka
providing that the building Inspector have
the names of streets painted on poles ad
jacent to street corners. By the terms of
a resolution passed the city clerk is also
to get busy with street signs, the same to
be stenciled on rubbish boxes now owned
by the city. This resolution also Instructs
the committee on public property and
buildings to report on the matter of adver
tising now appearing on the boxes, as 10
the revenue accruing to the city. If any.
The rubbish boxes also came up In a
resolution by McGovern, instructing the
street commissioner to remove a box In
front of the fur store of G. E. Shukert
to the northeast corner of Fifteenth and
Harney. Mr. Shukert objected to the box
because It bore an advertisement of a fur
sale by another store. The resolution was
passed, after some Joshing.
Protect Prisoners, Insure Balldlnas.
Resolutions by Councilman Burmester
and Kugel were passed, the one directing
the committee on public property and
buildings to report on the advisability of
having fire shutters placed on the new
Jail and the other directing the same com
mittee to consider and report on tho mat
ter of having all city buildings regularly
insured.
An ordinance appropriating $6,000 from
the general levy fund for the use of the
Fire and Police board In replacing the
burned equipment of tha police patrol barn
was referred to the committee on flnancs
and claims.
An ordinance to create, garbage districts
and to proylde for licensing garbage gath
erers and letting contracts for tha work
was sent to the comrqktee of the whole.
The council passed the. Brucker ordina'ios
to repeal an old ordlnancp permitting the
building Inspector to -itesue permits, for
building steps of buildingaj beyond the lot
line into the sidewalk- space. It is not
retroactive, and will net disturb any steps
now existing.
Would Open Twenty-Second.
A start was made toward the opening of
Twenty-second street, ' from Howard to
Dodge, by the property owners depositing
S25 toward paying the ' expenses of ap
praisement. Appraisers' will now give the
matter consideration and report to tho
council.
City Engineer Craig asked the council
to establish some rule for the Issuing of
permits to main lain storage tanks for gaso
line and other combustible on or under
the sidewalks of the city. Aulomoblle gar
ago owners are continually asking for uch
permits, and the city engineer pointed out
that at present his authority In the matter
is not clearly defined. The committee of
iho whole will consider and act on the
communication at Its next meeting.
City Electrician Micliaclsen wants ihc
council lo devote a portion of the money
to be received from occupation taxes to
ornamental street lighting, and the com
mittee of the whole will pass on his re
quest later.
The Corn Exchange bank was granted
permission to build a new stairway en
trance for Its new building premises on
the Farnam street front, just above Fif
teenth street, which viiil extend over tiio
area way to the sidewalk line.
The council will have lis meeting chamber

secretary Adelaide Wise
Without remarkably strong dramatic
qualities, this piny by Messrs. Rhodes and
Wise has sufficient pure fun In It to qualiry
It before a very exacting audience. The
transplanting cf unsophisticated southern
planters from their native soil to the poli
tical gardens of Washington during an Im
pottant seaelon of congress has furnished
th theme for many a good comedy. The
present one doea not fall short In compari
son with the others In the delightful char
acterization of the honest, easy-going native
of the south who finds his backbone Just
In time to assert himself when the crisis
comes.
Mr. Lackeye has admirable qualities that
ermmend him to his part as the new sena
tor from Mississippi. He combines effec
tively and faithfully the rolllcklnir good
humor, the cordial hospitality, the sterling
honesty and the simplicity of the southern
planter used to the quiet ways of the plan
tation. He Is at all times the southerner
and never allows a false note to creep In.
In the care free moods of the first two acts
he is delightfully refreshing. Yet he be
comes In an instant the sturdy champion
of honesty In politics, matching hla brains
successfully with the so-called king of the
serate. and the transaction Is brought about
naturally and truthfully.
Mr. Pearl presents a more plausible
newspaper reporter than Is usually aeon on
the stage and as the senator's secretary
and his chief support during the first care
less days of the session he accomplishes
results In a very satisfactory manner. Fred
J. Adams as a co-conspirator Is very effec
tive and Missess Barrett and Pearson carry
the parts of the Langdon sisters well. Tho
rest of the cast Is of sufficient quality to
make u very satisfactory production of the
play.
Three shallow love affairs creep Into the
plot without much excuse for being there,
but as they oc?upy little time, the authors
will be forgiven for laxness in letting
them In.
The production Is a delightfully enter
taining comedy and deserved a larger house
than it got last night. It will be here until
after Thursday night, with matlneea on
Wednesday and Thursday.
