A year ago an ordinance made the place worthless by reducing the building fees to be paid by the big builders of the city. Now the matter Is to be rectified by put ting the burden ou the taxpayers-at-targe. Also there is to be a city electrician, according to the mayor, and a plumbing Inspector. The last two plaoes will re ceive some discussion before being created, but the exchange of alderraanio opinion at last night's meeting Indicated that the citizens would not suffer from a dearth of inspectors during the present reign.

Web ster, attorney for the'' Water board, in dicated that the board had reoognlzed the old contract between the city and the Omaha Water company, now defunct In a bill submitted by the board the city was charged up with 19,40) for the last six months. The board acknowledged on account tho receipt of $42tK from the city and credited the city with an addi tional $1,20 as royalty, leaving a balance due of $7,790.41. The council took no action on the matter, but It Is argued that the admission by the Water board attorney that the board Is working under the old contract with the city will sim plify tho position of the city In the im pending litigation between It and the Water board, Nevr Paring Contract. Attorneys for the city have found a way to get Q street repaved without go ing contrary to the Injunction Issued by the district court and now pending on appeal in the supreme court. The un paved section which has caused traffic to suffer on one of the main thorough fares of the city will in all probability be paved within the next month or two. It is understood that attorneys for the National Construction company have counseled a waiver of all claims now maintained by the National Construction company under the contract in litigation. The area to be paved will be readvertlsed, it is said, and let under an entirely new contract. The concession made by the paving company named is made for the benefit of the public which is compelled to earn heavy hauling over a section of Q street that is perilous to life and limb. The new agreement marks the breaking of the first bond that has bound the ctty for so long In the matter of a number of paving contracts held to be illegal. GuIHr of Bootlegging.
