Charter l.lmKa.
The library board was first to break
through, the apportionment agreement pre
sented to the otty council by the finance
committee Thursday morning. To this
board 127,000 bad been allowed, being an In
crease of .12,000 over last year, but atlll
$3,000 under the maximum allowed by law.
After a presentation by. President F. L.
Haller of the library bnnrd, Colonel Fetter
man, secretary! and other members, the
council agreed to deduct 11.000 each from
tha fire and the police department allow
ances and give the money to the library.
It is figured that, : with fines, this will
coma pretty , close to allowing the library
Its maximum amount.
Following are the amounts asked by the
various departments from the general fund,
with the amount agreed on by the finance
committee, and last year's apportionment:

' Debate la Hot.
In the discussion, which began hot and
teavy as soon as the council got together,
'.he last legislature was put on the grid
run fur Its inoapaclty and failure to grasp
tie needs of Omaha as a big, growing city,
democrats, and republicans alike agreed
hat by Its. work, on the charter the legls
lllve delegation from Douglas county tied
note about the limbs of the municipality
hlch are hard to break. The council spent
n hour, with City Attorney Burnham and
llty Comptroller Lbeck as aislstants, try
lg.to find some way to untie the first
not. . This, was encountered In the pro
Islon that the council can only appropriate
to per cent of the city's possible income,
nd that It Is malfeasance for any coun
cilman to vote obligations against more
than that amount or for the comptroller to
draw warrants against a penny more be
fore it Is In, the city treasury.
Comptroller , Lobeck' wanted to cut ' the
red tape, it possible, and make apportion
ment on "business lines," as he put It,
from past .experience with tax receipts.
Attorney Burpam couldn't advise council
In Just that way, holding to the' language
of the charter.
... ' How It Will Go.
Councilman Funkhouser, chairman of the
finance committee, supported the city at
torney's .view, .and further proceedings
were, taken with the charter provision to
the frorit- In the apportionment as framed
'.or the various departments by the finance
cxmmtttee. $60,000, of the occupation tax
money la prorated, as follows: $3,000 to the
f library, $14,400 to the fire department, $11,000
to the police department, $5,000 to the park
fund, $4,000 to the lighting fund, $6,000 to
street cleaning, $4,000 to curbing, guttering
and paving and $2,000 to street repairs and
grading. "'
City Attorney Burnam held that $60,000 Is
every cent that can be apportioned at this
time, that amount added to the $950,000
provided for by levy makes the $1,000,000
that the charter allows to be expended.
Keeping this pro rata distribution of
$50,000 (n mind, following are the amounts
(or' special funds reported by the finance
committee: .
Library $ 27.009
Fir department 249.000
folic aepuriiiium xu,w
Park board .... W.ouo
glreet lighting 7o,0uo
Cleaning and sweeping 67,000
Curbing, guttering and paving 4O.0W
Btreet repairs and grading 25,000
.Fire Department Short.
The file, department allowance is Just
$1,000 '.short. In the above table, of the
maximum 'amount permitted, but losing
$1,000 to the library fund will place It
$2,000 below. Viaxlmum. The police depart
ment would . be . only $2,000 short of Its
maximum, but losing $1,000 to the library
board cuts It $3,009 below the maximum.
Health, v Commissioner Conn ell, whose
estimate was cut deeply by the swing of
the axe, protested that, while the council
would probably (So as It pleased,, he could
not (t along with less than he bad asked
for and do his work properly. He said the
only two large additional Items of expense
Involved In his estimate were for a gar
, bage Inspeotor, $1,200 a year. Including a
horse and buggy, and; $1,600 for a slaughter
house , Inspector, to prevent the bringing
of diseased meat Into the butcher shops of
the city. . , .
Cos act 1 l.Uteae, la a Way.
Counoll listened to Dr. Connell In a
rather perfunctory manner, and no action
waa' taken to comply with his requests.
It Is understood they will be given further
prayerful consideration.
Mayor Dahlman was not present to con
fer with the eomicUmen, but sent word
that he -will . attend today, so adjourn
ment was had to o'clock Friday on a tie
vote, decided by President flurmeater. Sev

Have YOU that quirk, proclse sense of knowing JUST what
to talk about in an "ad," and JUST what to keep obscure?
Have YOU a knowledge of "business English" a com
mand of snappy, pithy words that tell the story that compell
admiration, curiosity and desire?
Have YOU the ability to put yourself on the READER'8
"side of the fence" long enough to know how HE will construe
YOUR writings?
Have YOU a knowledge of printers' type sufficient to
build, measure, arrange, balance and properly display an "ad"
without making it look like a railroad time table, or a horse
sale poster?
Have YOU business enough about you to know Just WHICH
vital selling point should be shown in an illustration,?
Have YOU originality enough to forget the "me-too" ad
vertisers long enough to carve out a method ENTIRELY your
own?
Now sir, in Justice to your commercial welfare think this
over if you are "weak" on ad construction your ada won't
"pull."
If you HAVEN'T the necessary ability turn your ad work
over to a PROFESSIONAL to me, for Instance I've been at
it for fifteen years. ,
