ASKS KICKERS TO SIT STEADY Sn Much Slurp t'oulil llmo llrpn Aivcunipllshrd I tulcr n "I'-iiirrcs-sire I'ttnrtcr" Credit ot the City Good. After eight months of government by a commission of seven men instead of a city council of twelve elected from wards. Mayor Dahlman, who In tho campaign for commission form raised objections and wnrned the people that they would not derive all the benefits they expected. In h special message to the people, pub lished as part of the annual report of tho city comptroller says, "We like the com mission form of government much better than we did the old system." Indirectly pleading for the control of the schools by tho commission and the extension of the commission's power to the municipal water plant, tho mayor says: "The school board In tho city of Omaha receives about JttO.OOO from fines and licenses, annually, besides a levy of 1M. 000. nmklng nn Income to the school bnnr-1 to be expended of nbout JSOO.OOO per an num. "Our Water board receives J100.000 an nually by levy, besides their profits. These revenues In these other cities (Gal veston, Houston, Memphis nnd Dallas) all go Into the general fund to be handled by the city commission for any purpose they see fit to use them." Comparing the rato of taxation In Omaha with other cities, the mayor finds that the taxes In Omaha nre lower than In any of them, whether under commls slon form or the old system. Tells of Ilrneflt. After recounting the advantages of tho commission form which he bclloves lies chiefly in the fact that the commissioners are devoting their entlro time to their work and may be found at any tlmo In their offices In the city hall-the mayor sums up the manner In whloh tho com mission has worked during these eight months: "The workings of the present commis sion have been very harmonious at nil times. Where, anything of Importance Is to be considered the commissioners nro called together nnd thus get the benefits of the Judgments of each other. We have also made it a point to consult with the people where anything was being considered of Importance, giving It all the publicity, possible, nnd recelvo their Judgment on the matter." Mayor Dahlman says more could have been accomplished If the commission had been working under a "progressive char ter." In conclusion he says: "Tho credit of our city is as good aa any in the nation. No bonds havo been sold In the last seven nr oiniit .,-.. that did not bring a premium and tho rate or interest Is ns low as in any city In the country. Tho clvlo and moral condi tions aro fine. So we can all feel proud of the great metropolis of tho west and I hope the chronic kicker will sit steady In the boat." Stranger Returns Money Loaned Him by Local Officers So Infrequent ure proofs of honest in tentions found connected with hard luck tales told at police headquarters that station officers under Captain Dempeey aro still dared by the letter of William Hill of Stella, Neb. appeared at headquarters last week and told Desk Sergeant W.
