Every hoar t red Clean
Frcsalsee Toeay.
The tacts of an alleged plot recently
discovered by the office of the city treas
urer with reference to the O street via
duct are given by city officials as fol
lows: A deed of gift wax drawn Au
gust T. 190T, by J. W. Thomas and ldetla
E. Thomas, his wife. In favor of the city
of South Omaha. Its successors and ai
signs. The deed conveys a certain strip
of land sixty-six feet wide, running east
and west, to be used as the continuation
of O street,- aad running in the same gen
eral direction from the right-of-way '
the railroad on the west to the section
Una on the east.
The deed of grant further specifies thst
"la case the aforesaid strip of land O
not Improved as an extension of O street
to the west bank of the Missouri rive'
before January L 1912, the conveyance U
to bo nuU and void.'
Further,' the deed provides thst the
grantee specifically reserve "a slxteeo
foot right-of-way under the viaduct,
which the city of South Omaha is to
maintain next to the railroad right-of-way."
The deed was filed November 1
1908.
In the recent alleged discovery an at
tempt Is mad to cloth the appearanoe
of th deed with mystery and by Innu
endo a reflection Is east upon the pres
ent department of the dty government
As a matter of tact, the deed was ob
tained from th office of the dty clerk
by an attach qf th city engineer'
office asm weeks ago. Th deed had
been In th office of th dty clerk sine
th time of It fUtng. which, on good au
thority, occurred while City Treasurer
John Olllln was dty clerk. It to the
opinion, therefore, of those who are con
versant with the facta that ths treas
urer's office had some bidden reason for
playing up as a mysterious document
something which they aa sworn officers
of th dty had been called upon to Ols
In 190.
Further than th mystery the office of
th dty attorney had this to say yester
day: "Th filing of th document oc
curred under th term of H. B. Fleharty
as city attorney. As to the loss of ths
land In question It la to be noted from
the deed of gift that the reversion Of
title occurs only In caa the land 1 not
made an extension of O street to the
river. Long before the close of the year
1911 a contractor was sent to Improve a
roadway to th river from th Burlington
tracks to th banks of th Missouri. It
was done. The land, therefore, belongs
to th city. Th afterthought ot th via
duct may best be explained by under
standing that at th time th grant was
mad It was confidently asserted that a
viaduct was to be built at the crossing
of th tracks. Th building of th via
duct was not, however, th causa of tlie
donation."
Both City Attorney IL C. Murphy and
Assistant City Attorney Sam Winter
were up In arms at the attempt to cast
reflection on their office

creased power.
That power in the hands of the Dennis on-Dahlman machine would be a calam
ity and a disgrace to Omaha.
That power in the hands of such men as the Citizen's Union Seven would be
used to protect the people's welfare, heretofore seriously neglected.
Eegardless of personal preferences or friendship, let us meet the situation and
vote to make Omaha the city that she should be.
Our taxes are squandered; our streets are dark and filthy; our property and
lives unprotected; our civic pride humiliated.
A change is due to take place if the people will do their part on election day.
A VOTE FOR THESE MEN WILL BE A VOTE FOR A BETTER, BIGGER,
CLEANER OMAHA:

The Citizen's Union is fighting for good government, but the voting must be
done by the people.
Vote This Ticket Straight, Do It For Omaha.
