EE OUTTUrcS FLAH 15 LETTER rear Ossaha Real Estate Exchange te Secnre ia the Leexlslatai aa Asaeadaaewt to the City's Charter. Michael Lee. In a letter to President Morton of the Real Eitate exchange. read at the meeting yesterday, outlined a plan for the forcible annexation by Omaha of adjoining cities and towns. Mr. Lee enclosed a proposed amend ment to the city charter, drafted by him self, aa. follows: Provided such metropolitan city shall have power to extend Its corporate limits and government over any territory and over any village or city of Inferior class acUo.ang such metropolitan city 01 located within two miles or the limits or such metropolitan city." The Real Estate exchange, has It within Its power to settle the .mestion once and for aU within the next ai&ty day s." wrots Mr. Lee. "If the exchange will adopt the amendment to the charier and declare ihat It wiU not support any candidate for nomination or election tu the legislature who Bill not give a writ tea pledge that be will support and vote for such amendment, the question or Greater Omaha will-be settled, for no can didate will be foolish enough to think that he can be nominated or elected If he refuses to stand up for Omaha for fear of losing a few votes In tbs village and towns surrounding du Omaha Has the Poster. "Omaha has the power to reward her friends and punish her enemies. Thero will be no parties in the fight: all candi dates can sign up. A delegation from Douglas county, composed ot twelve rep resentatives and five senators, can get anything they want affecting their home outside counties. No member will wsnt to quarrel with the big delegation from Douglas when they are unanimous. "My Greater Omaha bill was a rank failure because it puts these smsll townj and villages on an equality with the city that made them all when It comes to de cide whether they shsll be Uken Into Omaha or not It waa tried on two occa sion ha South Omaha In the last five yean, and It proved to be a fight be tween the outs and the Ins. and the Ins always win. So It is plain that this kind of foolishness may be continued for twenty years." Gives Many tteawoaa. Mr. Lee say then are many reasons rhy Omaha should take In the other town, and h mentions two: First, tin southwestern and a large part ot the western portion of the city can never have any outlet for Ita sewerage except through South Omaha. Second, as the adjoining town and villages have Inade quate fire protect Ion, they are a menaae to tha safety of Omaha la case eg fire and high wind. Mr. Lee's communication was referred to the exchange' legislative committee for Its consideration. ' CEAKCELLOR OF KIBBASKA TJHI TALKS AT RIGHT SCHOOL ' -: .
