with a history of fifty three years
.ilmost as lrng as that ot Omaha.
Since 1HH6 it has been located on
South Tenth street, but It has out

two other buildings.
Now it is ready foi a permanent
home "for all time." C. C. and f. E.

'. The tract slopes gently toward the
south. On the higher part of the
ground will be erected a splendid
building, or maybe several buildings.
Besides the regular school equipment
there is to be a chapel of ample size,
a residence hall with dining room and
kitchen, an infirmary isolated from
the other parts of the school, and a
large and thoroughly modern gym
nasium. , The ample campus will afford facili
ties for an athletic field, which is to
. be a big feature, with tennis courts,
outdoor basket ball field and so on.
An Omaha Institution.
Brownell Hall, though founded and
under management of the Episcopal
church, has students of all religious
denominations. It is a big Omaha in
stitution, and that is why people of all
religious faiths and of none will have
a part in building its fine, new home.
It is notable that men and women of
.many religions faiths are on the
teams that will work for the quarter

Mayor Has No light.
Tht ju ge ruled that the tm., -ir has
nj more right to use the city s auto
mobiles for the privaic u.c of him
self or members of his household
than in other resident of the city
has to use it for private purposes.
"It is just as much a wrong," he
continued, "for a city official or em
ploye to go to the city's sup. ly tank
and take gasoline therefrom for one
of the city's automobiles when it is
being made pri a' use of as it would
be for anv private citizen to appro
priat. the city's gasoline for his pri
vate car.
"I am inclined to the opinion that
the city commissioners may provide
automobiles for the use of certain de
partments of the city government,
but there is grave doubt ir. my mind
as to the authority of the commis
sioners to provide certain appointive
officials with automobiles or other
conveyances."
Mayor Jim Says He

McGrew Says Western
Railroads Are the Best
C. F. McGrew returned Friday from
several weeks spent in New, York
and vicinity and says that the most
noticeable thing in traveling is the
superior equipment of railroad trains
west of Chicago compared with those
in the east A dozen or more trains
leave Omaha every day that are as
well and many of . them - better
equipped than any trains running out
of New York City. Mr. McGrew
also calls attention to the fact that
save Chicago alone, Omaha is the
terminus of more double-tracked rail
ways than any city in the world. Mr.
and Mrs. McGrew were members of
the Omaha contingent who attended
the Yale-Harvard foot ball game.

"Or," added the mayor, "I might
ride a motorcycle or a bicycle. I
could afford to buy either,"
As to the serious phase of the sit

offer any comment until he has read

I with the city legal department.
