AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Half Million Dollars Put Into New
Buildings During Past Year.
MANY RESIDENCES EBECTED
Vrro Churchea and One J.arse School
IlalldlnK Abode the Strac
tares that Are the 3Iot
Cnatlr.
f Nearly 500,000 In buildlww and building
. Improvement was put Into South Omalia
Sact "year; exclusive of some Improve
"Wnts mado by the different packing
bouses.
, City Jlulldlns Inspector John Devlne
reports two new churches erected worth
respectively JKXOOO and J15.000 each. St.
Hrldget's school, a brick and steel build
tntr, was erected at a cost of ;18,a and
an addition to Corrlean school cost I12.C00.
The following report' of the butldlntf
Inspector t-hows the permits Imued.
Total building- permits for the year,
m. They call for ItlO.DQO, put Into build
ings as follows; Frame dwellings, 91;
brick dwellings, V, store buildings, 6;
business blocks, S; remodeling, 18.
Among the Improvements In the oity
are Included the new Methodist and the
United Presbyterian church. St. Bridget's
Catholic school Is a modern school build
ing designed to accommodate 900 chil
dren. The Koutsky-Pavllk building and the
Plunket blocks are addition's to the
downtown section of the city, while tho
Plunket Interests have under construc
tion a new block of modern flats and
apartment houses.
Soiue Question Are Asked.
Who has the Issuing of subpoenas to
the DOllCe of South Omalm? AnI it an
IwhyT Where does the arresting officer
sei on wnen it comes to acting as court
witness at ts per day and why do cer
tain officers appear regularly In court
to testify while others never see any'
thing i.iarer the halls of jostles than
Pollen Judge Callanan's tribunal?
These questions aro agitating a num
ber of the South Omaha police officers,
who claim that even when thoy make
an arrest of a prisoner, afterward to
be tried In the district rourt, they are
never subpoenaed to testify In court.
Instead, It is claimed, a few do all the
testifying.
There Is dissatisfaction among some
of the best officers on the force over
the matter. One officer, discussing the
matter yesterday, said:
"I know of an Instance where I, with
another officer, actually made the ar
rest and delivered tho prisoner to the
station. We had no assistance from
anyone before or at the time of tho ar
rest. The man was afterward tried In I
district court. Neither the other arrest
ing officer nor myself were callud.
Others, however, were able to give the
testimony as to the arrest."
Mayor Talks to JVewsliors.
A talk from Mayor Hoctor to the fifty
newsboys of the city was the feature of
the newsboys' dinner last night at tho
Greer hotel. Mayor Hoctor didn't refer
to tho child problem, nor to the complex
ity of modern days as regards the
psychology of the boy. He told them;
"It you aro on the square and work
hard, honestly and faithfully, some day
you will grow up to be great men and
perhaps, who knows, bo president of
the I'nltcu" States." It was as eld as tho
republic, the mayor's talk, but the boys
drank down the words of the mayor with
as much avidity und their eyes glistened
and cheeks glowed with tho light of
Irrepressible hope that burns In the heart
of the lowliest.
Probation Officer Paul Macauley made
a talk to the boys, as did Chief of Pollro
John Drlggs. The banquet was given by
HrlKgy und Macauley for the newsboys of
tho city.
McKnle At-repta .Second I'lacr.
Chief of the Fire Department John Mo-
Knlo lias agreed to accept second place
on tho department under former As
slstant Kiro Chief John llasburg as soon
as ho returns from his vacation. "I have
been granted two weeks' leave," said Mc
Kalo yesterday. "I shall take my vaca
tion and then return to duty. I hope
everything will bo pleasant In the depart
ment."
It Is understood that the first sign of
Internal dissension In tho department will
mean a lopping off of the dissenting
members. Speaking of tho fire depart
ment yesterday, Mayor Hoctor said:
will not tolerate any pettiness In a de
partment where discipline Is so essential
to tho welfare of the city. Chief McKals
has accepted tho chango and will report
for duty after his vacation."
