Failure of Water Commissioner Howell
and the Wator board to fulfill promises
they made to residents along the route
of the forty-etght-lnch water main from
Florence to have that main laid and the
street clear by September, 1J12, has In
censed citizens of Omaha and Florenco
and the Omaha city council, besides
giving rise to tho suspicion that the
material In the pipe Is Inferior and may
have to be moved.
Tho ditch Is only partially filled; drt
Is piled high In tho streets, rendering
them almost Impassable, and endangering
life and limb, and the city has become
tho defendant In numerous suits us a
result of alleged personal Injuries or
property damages.
Ilrllef Deninntletl.
"Wo ought to have relief," said Coun
cilman Thomas McGovern. "The ditch
has caved In, the streets arc In an awful
condition and have been so for many
months. Crossings are a menace to life,
and still the board delays."
"Trouble Is," said City Commissioner
Dan B. Butler of tho department of
finance nnd accounts," that this man
Howell has been spending all his time
In Lincoln, lobbying. Ho hann't had tlmo
to attend to his own business."
"It ought to havo been finished a long
time ago," said C. II. Wlthnell, city com
missioner of fire protection and water
supply. "Tho delay has been very ag
gravating." "We've beeln trying to get them to fill
this ditch," said Commissioner J. B.
Hummel of tho department of parks,
"but 'we huven't succeeded. Complaints
are bclpg made and damage suits started,
but wo aro powerless, It seems, to forco
tho Water board to do the right thing."
Street Commissioner Kugel has ,en
&tiuiitere,d all kinds of difficulties because
the streets are torn up and ho has been
Enable to keep them In a clean or even
safe condition.
Suspicions Aroimrd.
There Is a growing sentiment In favor'
nf n. thorouch Investigation to uncover' If
possible tho "nlggor In the wood pile,"
the belief being that some circumstance
unknown to all except the water boarders
Is. responsible for the friction between
contractors and the board and the su
sequent long delays.
Little work Is being done on the ditch
now, although the ground Is not frozen.
The pipe has sprung numerous leaks and
It Is considered posslblo the water com
missioner hesitates to, order the ditch
filled until It is known positively whether
the pipe will have to be removed and the
work done again.
All the pipe Is In the ground and fre
quent "teats" have been made tests
Which resulted only In further delay, be
cause the pipes havo always burst or
sprung such large leaks that It was
necessary to shut off the water and make
tepalrs.
Unable to Secure Water.
Howell secured a. contract with the con
tractors by which, without accepting tho
rtpe as complete or without having the
ditch filled, water could bo run through
It That was three or four months ago,
but water for useful purposes has never
been lot through the main, although the
nests" have gone on at Infrequent
Intervals.
Citizens havo petitioned the Water
board and prayed for relief, but no relief
has been given. Florence Is In even
worse condition than Omaha, because of
this open ditch through the center of the
town. Protests and prayers from Flor
ence citizens also have gone unheeded.
And so Florence Is wrought up and
watting for revenge because tho streets
there for bIx months havo "looked worse
than the tornado's patch ( through

Carter Says Road's
Figures on Earnings
Do Not Show Facts
NEW YORK. April 12,-Rcprescntatlons
of tho eastern roads that somo of them
would show a deficit In their earnings
If tho request of their firemen for nn
advance in wages should bo granted, is
misleading and unfair, according to a
brief submitted today by W. H. .Carter,
.president of the Brotherhood of Fire
men to tho board of arbitration that Is
to decide the wage dispute
Mr. Carter sets forth that only twelvo
of the fifty-two loads Involved In the
controversy are independent. Those
twelve, ho says, control the forty others
and "By a division of traffic or ,un
allotment of earnings can make the earn
ings of, tho subsldarles -practically any
amount they wish."
It is. further contended that excluding
eight roads now showing deficits, the
combined surplus of the railroad In
volved amounts to J256.2S8.' 1.
"With this enormous amount at iiir
disposal," says Mr. Carter. "It Is cVl-
aent that the railroads are fully able to
pay the Increase asked, which, according
to the estimate of tho railroads them
selves, would result In an annual charge
amounting to less than one-twenty-fifth
of the total amount of surplus."
