THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1918. SOUTH SIDE HITCHCOCK IS URGED TO GET WATER MAINS One More Big Organization Wants to Know Why the Senator Does Not Do Something. Another Omaha organization has taken steps to try to wake up Sen ator Hitchcock, who is believed to be asleep at the switch in the mat ter of getting the water main exten sion laid from Omaha to Fort Crook. This is The Omaha Live Stock exchange, which held a meet ing and drafted a telegram which was sent to the senator, asking why work on this much-needed improve ment hasn't been started, particular ly as the appropriation was made last June by the federal govern ment and the work is urgently needed in order that more men can be quartered at Fort Crook. Within the last few weeks simi lar telegrams have been sent to the senator by the Associated Retail ers, Omaha Manufacturers' associa tion and the Real Estate exchange. When the senator was here early in the summer he spoke airily of his power to have the work done. "All have to do is walk over to the -War department and tell 'em to start," he said. He promised to take this little walk soon as he ar rived back in Washington. "Months have passed since then, ft is presumed that the senator Overestimated his power." said a prominent business man. "At any rate nothing has been done to ex tend, the water main, though the military officers are calling for it md the money is ready to pay for it. "The senator doesn't even answer the telegrams of his constituents any more, evidently, because he has no adequate answer to give for fail ing to get this improvement made at once, so that Omaha's military importance may be enhanced.''- South t)maha Pastor Heads Ministerial Body Rev.
