MAT PAVE CENTER STREET City Commissioner Jardlne, head of the department of public improve ments, has started his 1916 work by putting through the council a reso lution directing the city clerk to ad vertise for a stone crusher and dump truck. It Is the Intention of Mr. Jardlne to enter upon a line of city work heretofore let out to contractors. If the experiments prove satisfactory the work will be extended. For one thing, Mr. Jardlne Intends to know in a practical way the actual cost of any kind of work in connection with paving, sewer and sidewalks. The crusher and dump truck to be purchased will be used In working over old material from ttreots repaved. In the past the contractors have taken this material and nothing has been said. Plenty of t'se for It. Mr. Jardlne states thut this old ma terial may be used for making concrete crosswalks, concrete sewer inlets and for sewer lining. The city already la making Its own concrete sewer Inlets for about one-fourth the cost formerly paid for iron Inlets made In foundries. In the case of Military avenue, which has Just been paved, Mr. Jardlne retained all of the old material, which he esti mates Is worth nearly $1,000. Old vitri fied brick may be crushed and used for concrete work. New paving specifications contain, a clause stipulating that old material shall be retained by the city. To Keep Track of Tost. Next spring Mr. Jardlne expects to build a short section of sewer and will keep an exact account of the cost of material and labor, that he may know wben a bid Is reasonable or otherwise. Center street on the west probably will be paved by the city in the spring, although proceedings were started for paving In the usual manner of letting a contract and assessing the cost back to the property. If the council will back Mr. Jardlne on this proposition, the com missioner Is confident he can put this street in passable condition at a low cost by using the organisation and ma chinery of his department. Doubt has been expressed whether much of the property along this street can stand the assessment which ordinarily would fol low new paving. ALL DEPARTMENTS WANT MORE MONEY Heads Are Asked by Resolution to Submit Estimates of Needs for Next Year. rTTJTf MUCH MORE MOSEY TO ALLOT Meads of all city departments have leen directed by resolution to submit tn the department of accounts and fi nances estimates for 1916 to be used by the city council when considering the 1916 budget. The superinten dents of police, fire, public Improve ments, street cleaning; and mainte nance and parks will ask for the maximum amounts as fixed by the last legislature. Greater Omaha's fund for 1S16 at the disposal of the city commissioners will be $2,2Tt,602, the general division being as follows: General fund. 11,830,000; bond In terest, $-100,000: bond retirement, $150,000; for South Side deficit for last five months of 1915, $122,000; special 8-mlil levy for motor apparatus and alarm system for fire department, $66,600; hydrant rentals, $148,102. Bond Fundi A I wo. In addition to the amount raised by tax ation the commissioners will have $300,000 sewer, $100,000 intersection and $o0,000 park bond money; also miscellaneous collec tions. Commissioner Kugel will ask for the new charter maximum of $220,000, an In crease of $30,000 over last year. Tho park fund maximum was raised fnom $"", 000 to $90,000, which latter amount Mr. Hummel will Insist be allowed his department The legislature increased the fire fund from JJSO.OOO to $W,000, with Increases of pay for the firemen. The library fund was Increased from $.W,flo to $.A000 In the charter amendment passed last winter. The Job before the city commissioners will be to apportion the general fund of $I,JW.XI0 among the various departments. Health Commissioner Connell wants a larger appropriation, and so It goes along the line. The new Recreation board will ask for $31,000 for the year, and the Wel fare board. Just starting out, will want a finger in the pie. Will Seek New Head Resident for the Social Settlement At a meeting of the Social Settlement board yesterday, Mrs. Philip Potter Miss T.ura Scott. Mrs. William Shan non, Mrs. Edgar Scott and Mrs. J. W. Robblns were selected a committee to secure a new head resident to succeed Miss Jessie Arnold. Miss Arnold has made herself well known as a trained, capable efficient social worker, and though she and her board of manage ment did not always agree on settlement questions, her opinions and suggestions were deferred to with great respect. The board feels that It cannot afford such a high priced worker. The settlement is in charge of Miss Adsms, who will remain until the new head resident arrives, January 1. FIREMAN HURT WHEN HE FALLS OFF THE FIRE TRUCK John Jankowakl, 2726 South Twenty fourth street, city fireman, fell off a fire truck in responding to a rail near Thirty-first and Jackson streets, and sus tained severe bruises and lacerations. He was taken to the Nicholas Senn hospital. WOMEN GIYE FEW STUDIES OF LIFE Mrs. Lambert Scores Hit When She Gives Imitation, of Judg-e Sears. SOME ILLUSTRATE INCIDENTS An eavesdropper at the Omaha Woman's club oratory department meeting- would have been convulsed with laughter at the program given In the study from "Life."

Lambert, leader of the department, who la fre quently seen about the juvenile court. gave an Imitation of Judge Sears and a boy recently sent to Kearney In dustrial achool, the picture being very true to life, excepting for the absence of the well-known tobacco.

"Oh, do you have to have a note, too?" asked a wee little girl who had been sent to the store with a note. Mrs. Louis Pommer Imitated herself In a call upon a friend whom the stork had Just visited. Mrs. F. H. Wray gave a faithful portrayal of a certain mothcr-ln-law and Mrs. Adeline flpecht Malstrom gave a scene at a local hairdresser's.
