They demanded a IS a month increase
with full overtime such as is paid the
cart men.
At 2 O'clock In the afternoon twontv.

at a meeting of tho city council yester
day evening. Hartnett Introduced mo

Cavanaugh claimed pertained to their

ince, Hartnett flared up and declared
that ho Introduced tho motions in order
to get them' through and save delay.
Hartnett claimed that some of the coun
cllmen wore too prone to object to any
thing he did. At this point most of the
council joined In the dlsputo and Mayor
Hoctor blandly urged "Harmony, gen
tlemen, harmony." Councilman Alton
then remarked something about "dry
weather," referring to the condition of
tho streets, and some one else audibly
remarked on the propriety of a motion
dealing with cold bottles. The council
then adjourned.

Abolish Examining; Board,
It has practically been decided to abolish
the old local teachers' examining board
in South Omaha in favor of the regular
state examinations for teasht'rs Presi
dent E. R. Leigh of the board stated lost
night that. theurule. would bo amended In
that reeard and that hereafter it is qulto
probable that teachers holding state certi
ficates would be eligible to appointment
as teachers In South Omaha without any
further examination.
Heretofore the examinations have been
held under the direction of' special teach
ers' examination committees appointed by
the (school board. It hsn been said that
there has been much dissatisfaction with
the old method of selecting teachers. If
the new rule Is adopted the teachers will
be granted state certificates upon passing
an examination prescribed by the state
superintendent The examination will b
held at the office of the county superin
tendent once a month. !
Janitors of the school department have
asked that they be placed under the per
manent civil service list in the same man
ner as the teachers. It has been a source
of much grief to members of tho school
board to replace janitors every time the
political complexion of the board changed.
Robert McGempeoy has been appointed
Janitor at the new manual training build
ing at Twenty-fourth and J streets.
