SATURDAY FULL
OF IIOTPROMISE
Eoth Sides Prime Heaviest
Artillery for Action on
Paving Controversy
at City Hall.
An old fashioned oratorical "hot
time" is looked for at the public
meeting scheduled at the city hall,
Saturday night, to discuss the bill
introduced in the legislature taking
from property owners the right to
initiate street improvements by ma
jority petition and conferring it on
the city commission.
Opposition to the bill is growing
among property owners as they be
come aware of its features and a
crowded house is expected. Particu
larly keen interest is shown by prop
erty owners involved in the pro
, iected change of grade of St. Mary's
ivenue and intersecting streets,
rhis grade change has been a live
issue in that quarter for two years,
and the inability of the promoters to
obtain a majority, petition is said
to be the principal reason for the
attempt to deprive property owners
by legislation of the right of major
ity petition enjoyed since Omaha
won a place on the map.
Several other large and small im
provements are involved which
would be difficult to put over by a
majority petition. With the city
conimissioneri exercising the ripht
to go ahead with street improve
ments without the consent of the
majority of those who would pay the
bills, the way will be cleared for big
improvement projects now und'r
the lid at the city hall.
Protects Rights.
Supporters of the city hall plans
contend that the bill protects the
rights of property owners, inasmuch
as a majority protest would defeat
any given improvement.
There's the rub. Iu the St. Mary's
avenuj district a majority against
4 the grade is impossible within any
time limit as is shown by thecxperi
ence of the past two years. On this
point it is reported that Commission
er Towl has made overtures to thi
Federation of Improvement Clubs to
raise the protest limit from, 10 days
to 60 days, but with what result is
not disclosed.
Another development in the battle
conies from Lincoln. A Douglas
county representative is said to
have sent a message to the Federa
tion of Improvement Clubs suggest
ing that the federation extend an in
vitation to the house of representa
tives to come to Omaha in a body
and hear the issue discussed on the
spot.
Both sides are priming their heavi
est artillery for action. Big guns and
a big crowd promise one of the live
liest town meetings Omaha has had.
U. S. May Prohibit the j
Importation ofWheat,
Rice, Rye, Oats, Barley
Washington, Feb.' 21. Prohibition
of importation of wheat, rye, barley,
oats and rice from Australia, Japan,

partment March 25 to determine
