THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1013. AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA Mayor Hoctor Amused at Alton's Wish to Buy New Patrol. ONE FROM OMAHA IS ALL RIGHT Exranttvr Saya It Is n Good n Ncrr, Ilsrliur Dcen Vmrtl HtRht 3Ionth, nnd Ilvn Thrre Good Tlrm. Mayor Thomas Hoctor weighs Approxi mately SOD pound, ot which, when angry, he la ablo to deposit 230 pounds upon an Insurgent political follower. last even ilnR tho mayor so willed at a meeting of the' council and It Is expected that his honor will havo no further trouble with that body for some time to come. PrealdenfThomas Alton, who has long played BmHus to his honor's J. Caesar. Introduced a motion calling for tho pur chase of a new patrol waon from the. Anderson company of Kansas City- at a rorrdnal consideration ot K90. SpeaklnK c Ma motion, Mr. Alton commented hrinfly upon the recent purchase of fire liose ;ome two weeks ago . at a cost of 11.10 a .foot. He disclaimed any responsi bility bt the matter and mentioned that he had lcen Informed that the same stuff could be: purchased for lees money than was paid ,Xor It. He spoke slightingly of any policy of economy that would skimp In the maitex of a police patrol after paying $1.10 a foot for flro how. Council man Williams inquired as to the state ot the funds available for the purchase of tho wagon and Mayor Hoctor Ironically remarked that perhaps the chairman of the committer pnlght be able to tell about lha. Alton Wanted Style. The chairman did tell. Alton said that a police patrol vas needed In South Omaha. He said South Omaha ought to have a good first class patrol. From the fervor of lila rer.oarks the president of theoouncll felt deeply tho Importance of th resolution. Not any old patrol wagon would do. ot a mere conveyance on four wheels, not a' second hand affair used for eight months by tho Omaha de partment and now as good as new ex cept for one tjro that Is bad. Mr. Alton wanted a good, patrol Svagon a first class one something.. It appeared, that might be rated among- city's' permanent assets. Krom what Alton, said the inference might be drawn that, it there was one thing- that South Omaha could afford to Tninw iiefil io. il waa n. nun ii di i nsa police patrolsomethlng that would bo as ornamental as . necessary to South Omaha a thing- of beauty to delight tho eyes of a patriotic Icduncll and a joy to all future prisoner and copper. Riches seconded the mot(on. Then there was silence for exactly one-nau secona. ,Chncf far Hnrjrnln. When the curtain went up for the sec ond act it disclosed .Mayor Hoctor with glazed eye, horrified expression and In a fine frenzy over the Idea of spending 790 for a patrol wagon from Kansas City when a patrol wagon with one bad tire and only tised ' for eight months could be bought from Omaha, at a cost of only $250-argln rates given only to South Omaha by a friendly admlnlstra tlon In Omaha. His honor spoke. He said many things that would give one to understand he approved of the Omaha purchase as strongly as he disapproved of the purchase of a new wagon at J7W. He said the purchase of the Omaha wagon would mean a saving- of 11,000 to tho 'people of South Dmaba. 'He ex plained that the wagon was "a good as now and needed only one new tire to make it perfect. Ther he concluded with this epic: "If this council tries to purchase a -wagon at this cost I will write a veto so hot that it will take asbestos to carry it" Deep silence! Clerk Wheeler calling-for a vote! Everybody with the mayor ex cept Alton and Riches, who had moved and seconded the motion, respectively. Constitutionalists routed! One Veto Follotra. Hoctor then completed the slaughter by vetoing the ordinance to compel Armour ,& 'Co. to Install a sidewalk In front of the plant He gave reasons and the council sustained his veto. The rest of the evening was tame. Offerman & Co. got the contract for Installing a sewer culver at Monroe street between Twenty third and the county road. Councilman John Cavanaugh Introduced a motion ralsine" the license fee of pawnbrokers to a higher figure. He said the figure would probably be In the neighborhood of 60il. He also moved a resolution com pelling transfer men to take out dray licenses. Then the meeting dissolved for a week. President I.Hgh III. President of the School Board E. R.
