V ' mended to Council.
I 7
The-municipal affairs committee
of the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce has placed the stamp of its
approval upon the proposition look-
; ing to numerous improvements
,within the city limits.
By a unanimous vote, the com-
i mittee has asked the city council
to take action looking to the open-
'ing and widening of Douglas street
from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth.
It favors the widening and straight
ening of Twenty-fourth street from
Cuming to Leavenworth; the open
ing of Twenty-second street from
Dodge to Howard; the widening of
, Twentieth street from Dodge to
Leavenworth, and the opening of
Harney itreet from Thirty-sixth
treet west
' The .plan of raising money to pay
for the cost of property taken in
the widening of the streets and the
opening of others is a matter left
to the council.
Relative to boulevards, the muni
cipal affairs committee recommends
the construction' of a highway that
would circle the city, following the
Belt line railroad, beginning at some
point in the northern part of the city
and terminating in the neighbor
hood of the Union stockyards. w
Plans for a river drive, or boule
vard ire presented, considered and
approved. As proposed by"the com
mittee this drive, starting from the
crest of the hill at Child's point,
would run in a northerly 'direction,
following the swing of- the river and
keeping on the cresfof- the bluffs,
passing through Mandan park and
thence on through Riverview and
east of Thirteenth street North of
the business portion of the city it is
proposed that the boulevard skirt
Carter lake and turning east, inter
sect the Florence boulevard, passing
on through Florence. From there
iUwould follow the river and up
into the hills in the vicinity of Ponca
creek, in a northwesterly direction.

STATE MILLERS
EXPECT DROP IN
FLOUR PRICES
i
Bumper Crop of Wheat Raised
In v Nebraska Will Lower
Prices About 40 Cents a
Sack.
When the Nebraska wheat crop Is
harvested and is ready for milling,
flour prices are going to drop 25 to
30 cents per 50-pound sack. That is
the information that the Nebraska
millers have brought to tow.n.
Nebraska millers are at the
Chamber v of Commerce, holding
t'heir annual summer "meeting, get
ting a line-up on prospective condi
tions relative to the Nebraska
wheat crop now 'being harvested.
About 75 are in attendance. It
was the unanimous opinion of the
millers that with the new crop on
the market, the largest ever raised
in Nebraska, the premium now paid
on wheat will be. a thing of the past.
At this time this premium is and has
been for several months 20 to 30
and sometimes as much as '40 cents
a bushel.
Millers say that they were com
pelled to pay this premium in order
to obtain sufficient wheat to keep
their mills running to supply their
trade. Wheat will continue to sell
at prices fixed by the government
and as the Nebraska cereal ranks
the highest of any grown, millers
are of the opinion that the grain will
sell at the government maximum.
All of the millers reported good
business, with prospects ofjt con
tinuing during the summer, fall and
winter and that the export demand
will be unprecendented.
Nebraska flour, according to the
millers of the state, all through the
east is regarded as the best milled
and consequently the well known
brands sell at a premium over the
output of mills in other localities.
