THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1912. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Postmaster Etter Shows Prosperous Y Condition of His Office. COTJKCHME3 TALK OP REPORT Sass Rtflltlcr Iknl Installing w lyases at Considerable Ra peas Charter Change Folic Jadge. Postmaster Lewis F. Etter in a re view of the poatofflca work during the last year fttms that the wage earners of South Omaha bestow much patronage oa th money order department of the Meal pastoffke. The stamps and money order tales of the local office Indicate an Increase during- the last year and It Is calculated that the new year will be even an Improvement over the hut twelve months. It Is hoped moreover that this year will bring the Ion expected savins depart ment to the local office. Already the department at Washington has requested and been furnished with Information bear Ins; en the savings bans, question. Among many business men it Is ex ssj that the savings department will do much for the city and tor the poorer claas of people, who for one reason or another will not patronise a bank. An additional benefit of the savings depart ment of the poatof fice is that women may deposit their savings with Unci bam and be certain that their haid earned pennies will not be subject to the demand 01 wasteful and Idle husbands.

Considerable interest is manifested as to what position the city council will take In following out the recommendations 01 the special auditor who In an exhaustive report has pointed out several items that call for Immediate and drastic attention. That there will be a fUht on the Intro duction of the new system of bookkeeping proposed by the Arthur loung company and approved by the mayor and several councllmen Is expected. The mayor, however, In a statement Issued yesterday, declared that ha would fight for the Introduction of system and orderliness In the financial affairs of the city. It Is probable that th council will be Inclined to compromise on the Installation of a new system and Introduce a system promoted by some private Individual who will guarantee perfect efficiency at a much lower price. Some of the councllmen, however, have Indicated their Intention of having system Installed such as would do credit 1 to an up-to-date business house and seem to prefer to trust a company Ilk the Arthur Young to one less known. Case ( Police Jadge, Another matter that will claim the at tention of the council will be the case of the police Judge, whose accounts show a discrepancy for the second time during his Incumbency In office. 8om time ago when Auditor Raffles mentioned , the chaotic condition at the police court books Councllmen Walters Ind. Miller, reojieated mm to put ine matter in wrltinir. . Testerdsy It appeared that certain pro visions by which the council was em powered to discipline a delinquent offi cial had been eliminated .from the elty charter 4b Its recent revision under house rule II and senate file Si. Beginning with section 27 three sections of the old charter were eliminated. The official who examined the char ter yesterday seemed not surprised at the omission and declared that he would tell of the fight for a better system in the police court waged and lost at the meeting of the Isst legislature. Heavy Mac Looses. ' For apwards of a week now the shlp-pe-s at the stock yards report heavy losses In hogs shipped Into the local market. In some cases the bogs are killed by "pUIng," but In most cases death hss been due to the extraordinarily severe weather. Yesterday It was reported that 10 dead hogs were taken from one train and turned over to the rendering works. As many a fourteen have been found frozen In one ear and shippers are beginning to find the railroads unwilling to assume the risk of transportation during this weather. It was ssid by soma of the men at the yards yesterday that the fatality among 'hogs In transit would bj lessened If the . shippers would provide a deep bed of strew and soma cross pens In th cars.
