Omepa Water board has issued a
I ,Tbe
aJtrntd ataterVteht of Its position on the,
esientlon of t bonds, on which It ta
atU ng thiitlKi ,t vote t.0, at an
eieetion to !be held August t The board
I4edges Itself, ' in the statement. If the
toads carry, tio't.tp try to touch any por
Maft of the f tr bond heretofore author-
J fijesemeat ar.Beera'.
'Here la th Tnfflclaf statement:
yTo the Cltlxeaa of Omaha: The Water
Koatd, In the performance of what It be-
nUwed to be IU duty In protecting the In
terests of the city, called the recentwater
bmd electloo for the purpose of providing
far the taking over of the water plant and
malting necessary extensions and improve
ments thereto.
!jt transpired In that election that eleven
wards of the city carried the bonds by a
V"Fy largo majority, and that the necessary
two-thirds would have been secured had It
Bat been for an adverse majority In a local-
try1, where there Is great reason to believe
it-'
the votes of non-taxpayers were Influenced
by some motive or reason other than that
ot h olty'a welfare.
IClnce this fact became' known It has
been Insistently demanded that the bonds
tJoiJmmedlateely resubmitted. The water
board In recognition and appreciation of
tils demand., and at, the same time In the
performance' of ,-whfiOt bejieved to be its
duty In protecting the Interest of the city,
Sss again tailed A "special election to be
eld between the -hour ef I a. m. and 6 p.
rp.,WedneHy, August t, at which will be
again submitted; a -proposition to Issue
Ip.gbo.OOO of ;tV'! works beads, payable in
tsUrty years aiid bearing Interest at not to
exceed 4Vper ctat, ptr annum.
. ''In 1908 the tnayor and council elected to
) purchase thewater plant at a value to bs
i ascertained by three engineers. This ep-
praJsement resulted In a valuation of
t4,W.&9.49. jjind tho water company Im
mediately brought suit to oompel the .city
tq'fake the plant at that price. The su
preme court ot the United States has ruled
thai tho city-Is required to take over the
property at this valuation. That question
U,eitrd. The water plant must be paid
for a-pd there la no Immediate method of
making payment or possibility of securing
. possession ;of -tho plant except by the
Y authorisation and sale of bonds,
f . "Moreover, If tho city bad possession of
the water plant extensions and improve
ments of tho plant' would be Impossible
without tho authorisation and sale of
bonds. . .
. "If tho bends are voted the water board
Will take steps to secure possession of the
water plant jas soon as possible and' will Im
mediately proceed to carry out plans for
tho construction 1 of urgently needed watr
shalns without waiting for actual posses
ion of tho plant
Should authority to Issue the bonds be
granted no portion ot the bonds will be
Issued and disposed of until money or bonds
Ore actually needed to take over the water
plant and to make Improvements and ex
tensions as required. The Income from the
operation of the water .plant will be set
.side to pay interest upon the bonds. ' '
i "Tho water honds heretofore authorized
by tho city have not been Issued and are
ot available, those .-voted In 1800 having'
been, declared Illegal, while those voted In
190O are unmarketable because. of the low
rata ot Interest they bear.
1 "Sooner1 or later bonds must be Voted
as a matter of necessity. A failure to vote
bonds at this- time will postpone the day
when tho city may eomo Into possession
of tho water plant; will postpone the time
within -which Improvements and extensions
shell be made, -and will postpone the date
terminating unnecessary loss to the city
account of 1 per eent Intereet upon this
Judgment of 6,2C3,259.I9, If Judicially charged
therewith.
i "Finally, tho water board deems It but
proper to state that the water board Is
unanimous In the belief that the Interests
of Omaha Imperatively, demand that these
bonds be voted at this time; the water
.board Is confident' of the' success of munlc
leal ownership. 'of . the water plant; that
municipal ownership will not Increase city
taxes, but eventually 'reduce water rates.
"Further, the water board stands pledged.
provided this bond proposition does carry,
that no portion of any water bonds here
tofore authorised by the olty will be -Issued
or used by tho board.

Lambert is Asked to
Decide if Druggists
May Sell Malt Beer
Anti-Saloon League and Fire and Po
lice Board Put Question to
Legal Department
Tho question that harassed Dr. Wiley and
tho United States government chemists
for so long may find Its match in the
query which has been put up to W. C.
Lambert, assistant city attorney, by J. M.
Leldy of the Antl-Haloon league and the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
Mr. Leldy says the laws of the state and
the ordinances of Omaha expressly forbid
druggists from selling any beer or malt
extracts for any purpose whatever. The
board says that beer can be sold medicin
ally and malt extracts can be sold under
the same restrictions. The whole thing
hinges upon an Interpretation of the law
and a definition of beer.
The law quoted by Mr. Leldy allows drug
gists without a liquor license to sell spirit
uous and vinlous liquors and Intoxicating
liquors." Beer comes under neither of tho
first two heads and It would seem to have
been tho purpose ot those framing the law
to make the second phrases merely descrip
tive' of the first. At least, that Is Mr.
Leldy's contention. Tho city ordinance
gives the druggist permission to sell only
for medicinal purposes.
W. P. Wapplch, secretary of the beard
of commissioners, - to- whom tho query of
Mr. l,eidy was addressed, hands it on to
Mr. Lambert. The Anti-Saloon league men
say druggists must be made to stop selling
malt extracts for any purpose whatever.
Mr. Wapplch asks what the Intention of
tho ordinance might have been as to-beer
which Is said to be intoxicating, but which
is certainly neither spirituous nor vinous.
Mr, Lambert has taken the matter under I
consideration.
Advance in Sugar

In Week or Two Retailers Will Be

Announcement ot an advance in the
pi1u . of coffee in the next two weeks
comes from a big Omaha provision house.
It Is also hinted that sugar, which to re-
tailing in Omaha now at eighteen pounds for
11, will soon soar a few notches, and the
consumer will get a reduction In his sugar
sack of at least two pounds tor the same
price.
The reason for the Increase In tho price
of sugar Is not clear, and Its fluctuations
will be received with Indignation by ths
persons who make tho pennies count
A bulletin published by a New York Job
bing firm carries the Information that the
coffee crop in . Brazil, and' other Boutlt
Amcrlean countries has shown a remark
