Sensational charges - were made against the city officials of Omaha in .a suit filed In the supreme court here today by 'Clarence H. Venner, a New Tork banker., Mr. Venner, who Is suing the city of Omaha for $14,000, declared that he agreed to buy $600,000 of the bonds of the western city on the representations sent broadcast by Frederick H. Cosgrove, comptroller of Omaha. The banker freely charges that the circulars falsely stated the assessed ' valuation of property In Omaha, Its bonded debt, and were other wise filled with misrepresentations. Mr. Venner declared he bid 102.61$ for the Issue of $600,000 of bonds, which was a premium of $15,078. Ills bid was ac cepted and he forwarded a check for $5,000 to insure his performance of tho contract Later he notified the city that he had cancelled the contract and asked for the return of his money, but it was refused. Had everything been as repre sented, Mr.' Venner said he could have sold the bonds within thirty days at a profit of $9,000, so he asks for this amount and the $5,000 paid to bind the contract.

Council Bluffs SOUTH AVENUE PAVING City Engineer Furnishes Estimates of Cost of Work. MAY ISSUE BONDS FOR TEUCK New Eqalpment for Fire Station May Be Paid for Only In Tbla Manner Oil for Laying; the Dost. Three estimates of the cost of paving South avenue were furnished to the city council last night, the pavement ex tending from Sixteenth avenue and High to the city limits. The estimates were based on the use of different ma terials and varying width of the pave ment, and ranged from $59,221.40 for the highest to $15,022.7$ for the lowest. The estimate were furnished by .City Engineer Stlmson upon request of the council and the Commercial club.' The first provided for a pavement of Gales burg block on a concrete base at a cost of $2.10 per yard and of a width of thirty feet the entire distance. The sec ond estimate for the same material was based on a width of Uilrty feet for half the distance, beginning at High street and Sixteenth Avenue, and sixteen feet or the remainder, reducing the total cost to $39,066.8$. The third was for a width of sixteen feet the entire distance, the first half to be of brick at the $2.10 rate, and the remainder of concrete at $1.90 per yard, at a cost of $15,022.72. All of the estimates Included combination curbing the full distance. As the esti mates were only for the information of the member and of the Commercial club In compliance with official request no action was taken. May Have Bond Issue. The only action taken In relation to the proposed purchase of an automobile fire truck related to the question of the necessary bond Issue to pay for It. Alder man Fisher, who brought up the matter, stated that as another bond Issue would be required if the new truck was1 pur chased ha wanted the council to decide at once about the erection of anotner fire station On the site proposed by Alderman Boyer In the western part of the city and to settle the question of the purchase of a street f lusher. so that a bond issue sufficiently large to cover all the proposed expense could be made. He asked and secured the assent of the council to request City Treasurer F. T. True to make - an official statement of the City's finances showing if such an Issue can be legally made and to report at an early date. A communication was received from Major E. R- Schults of Kansas City, asking the city's Intention concern ing the settlement of the government's claim of the payment for the stone ap propriated and used when the river be gan cutting a new channel across the town west of the Illinois . Central bridge. When Major Schults was here last week in answer to telegrams calling attention to the threatened destruction of the rlprapplng he was told about the appropriation of the stone. It was first suggested to send him a revised copy of Congressman Green's letter declaring that claims for ' material and work done were almost impossible to collect after the work had been done," but It was decided to permit City Clerk Duff to write the major a pretty letter. Peterson's Proposition. The proposition of Peter Peterson, made last year to pay $1,000 In full for all special assessments In connection with building the retaining wall and new Indian creek bridge on North Main street was discovered to have been agreed to but never officially accepted. Mr. Peterson caused the matter to be brought up last evening with the statement that he wanted to erect a fac tory building on the property to be Im proved and to have one wall of his building rest on the retaining wall and the west side of the new bridge to form the east boundary line of his property. In consideration of this he offered to in crease the amount to be paid by him to $1,150. The matter was referred to the city engineer to report upon what extra strength, if any, would be required for the retaining wall if used for a build ing foundation. - Architect 'Frederick E. Cox submitted plans for the proposed new addition to the' detention hospital authorized by tte board of county supervisors. The plans call for a building costing $2,000, includ ing the heating plant, while the county board only authorised the expenditure of $1,000. The mayor was authorized to ap point a committee of three aldermen to submit the plans to the county board Oil lon Strrela.

He suggested that the experiment be tried on East Broadway and on West. Broadway west of Fourteenth street. The suggestion was also . made that South avenue be Included In the experiments. Alderman Fisher said that a sprinkler suitable for spreading the crude tar oil could be purchased for $125. The matter was referred to th streets and alleys committee to report at th next regular meeting. , ' City Solicitor Stuart was asked to file a written opinion concerning the legality of assessing the costs of th Fifth avenue sewer which could be used If constructed until the general sewer sys tem for the west part of town has been completed, the report to be made as soon as possible, The proposition of a dealer to supply sanitary drinking fountains on the streets and In Bay II as park was re ferred to the water board.
