coilrits ' of how the produce commission
men ot Omaha are steadily losing money
a a result of engaging In business in
Omaha. It seems too bad that thov
should not be permitted to share In the
prosperity and plenitude which has" ben
the boast of our great state for so manv
years. That they havo been brought to
a state of Indigence through the per
formance of a self-imposed task of puo-

own admissions. Would It not be vrwll
for the legislature to recognize this alid

OMAHA, March 6. To the Editor pf
The Bee: The statement is made in The
Bco that the Her Grand bos only one

tho adequate number of cards and slg
nal lights In the halls. Aa a matter of
fact, the Her Grand has three thoroughly
mouern ana easily accessible nro es
capes. The main or new portion of the
Her Grand hotel, In which 75 per cent
of tho guest rooms are located, Is ot steel
frame construction, with' metal lath par
titions and ceilings, and alt walls and
ceilings are lined with mineral wool.
When built, this building was recog
nized as tho first fireproof building In
Omaha, and "today is considered prac
tically fireproof. Every precaution, pos
sible is taken for tho safeguarding df our
guests. There are forty, fire extinguish
ers scattered throughout the halls. A
night watchman makesthe rounds of the
hotel every half hour, reporting at thirty-

The .Bee and the -legislature of JS00,
which passed the original Howell bill
are responsible for all the mistakes of

blamed for "forcing" compulsdr.y pur-

satisfactory operation of the plant.
Woll, I think it Is a good thing for
the taxpayers and water consumers of
Omaha that thero Is a newspaper hon
est and courageous enough not to give
itself over, boots and breeches, to the
selfUh purposes ot this one man. This
wholo Water board scheme was con
ceived by him In the sin of selfish am
bition to get a public salary he could no-
whero else earn and brought forth In
the iniquity of falsehood and folly. If a
person at the head of a largo private

methods as practiced upon the city, he
would have walked out of the concern
much faster than he got In. As to the
