DUNDEE PLANS FOR
TEN YEARS AHEAD
Improvement Club Backs Board and
Suggest! Few More Things
to Be Done.
TO WAGE WAR ON ANNEXATION
Pundee Improvement club at a
mooting attended by 1 0 members
in the illage hall last evening
adopted a policy of "dignified belli
gerency" toward annexation, ap
proved the action of the board of
trustees in letting contracts for more
improvements while the village re
mains a unit, and agreed to raise
$100 to pay expense incurred by
"antis" In putting up a fight at Lin
coln. A proposal that the board of
trustees submit a $35,000 bond is
sue to pay for construction of an
ornamental lighting system through
out Dundee was approved without a
single dissenting vote.
It was recommended that a ten-year
contract be made with the electric Httht
company providing for furnishing cur
rent for four single light pillars In each
block. The bond election will be heli
April 17.
All erdn Attended To.
Mayor V. W. Slabaush announced that
all needs of the village In paving, grading
and sewers, have been foreseen, and pro
vided for by the trustees by contracts
already let, which the city of Omaha
will be compelled to fulfill in the event
of annexation becoming effective.
By a ringing chorus of "nyes" the mem
bers voted a recommendation that tho
trustees should retain Dundee's pet snow
plow by means of a five-year contract.
Dundee's policy of "dlgnlflel belli
gerency" toward annexation was sug
gested by Mayor Klabaugh. It is to In
clude, he said, a vigorous campaign with
the object of defeating annexation at the
polls and refusal on the part of all loyal
Dundeeltes to concede prior to the elec
tion that such a thing as annexation
exists.
Lewis "eee Court Fight.
This policy met with favor of all present
with the exception of B. Arlon Lewis, who
favored eliminating dignity from the con
test. Mr. Iw1s, who has been an active
lobbyist against annexation before the
legislature, charged Member E. E. Howell
and Jeff Bedford with bad faith In con
nection with the bill and with the
proposal to postpone the Omaha city
election. He declared a defect existed
In the plans of "the enemy." which would
defeat annexation in the courts.
'Mr. Howell and Mr. Bedford agreed
to a proposal to postpone the Omaha eleo-
tion," declared Mr. Lewis, "I know this
personally. Now they are repudiating the
plan. I Invite you to join me In rebate
ing thetn In the election."
There was no difference of opinion on
any proposal, with the exception of the
length of the electric lighting contract,
decision as to this point eventually being
left to the trustees.
Tells of the Fight.
Former Judge W. W. Slabaugh told of
the arduous work ' done by the club's
executive committee, whose antl-annexa
tion fight began on New Year's day and
ended April fool's day.
He suggested that an Important point
had been gained in securing a vote on
annexation and declared his belief that
annexation might be beaten at the polls.
"Practically all the improvement clubs
of Omaha and vicinity are opposed to
annexation, foreseeing that it will mean
less improvements for their districts,"
he declared. "Their Influence will be of
great assistance."
The club members gave $50 for payment
ot expenses of antls and C. C. George
agreed to secure an additional M by
subscription.
