"is uu( oor wuiiour. its couaouuation

the last session that there was no
chance for more with the filial disposi
tion of the Omaha consolidation with
a victory for "Greater Omaha."
. Now it appears that Lincoln will
get into, the limelight with a proposi
tion to consolidate University Place,
College View. Bethany ,and Normal,
and perhaps Havelock, Lakeview arid
Burnham. All of 1hese towns, with
the exception of Burnham, are closely
associated by reason of street car
service.
It is understood that there will be
no scheme for voting on the marter
by the inhabitants of the communities
interested, but that an -action of the
legislature will be all that is necessary.
If the Qreafer Lincoln proposition
carries, it will give the town popula

'ne plan is developing Here.
