THE BEE: QEfAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1919.
NEV( ORDINANCE
ON PARKING NOT
IN FAVOR HERE
Omaha Motorists Express Dis
satisfaction With "Parallel
Order" On Downtown
Streets of City.
Motorists are much dissatisfied
with the new parallel parking ordi
nance which requires all ears to be
parked with both right-hanH wheels
within two feet ot the curb and the
. front of the car not more than
five feet from the vehicle immed
iately in front. The ordinance ap
plies in congested districts, on all
car line streets, and on paved streets
10 feet or less. - .

'gnoring the ordinance.
.. "Three-fourths of the parking
ipace downtown has been taken
from the motorists by the new
parking ordinance," said Clark G.
Hnv11 nrnmitint nn automobile
. row. "There was need for a change
from the old parking ordinance, but
the city council went too far when
it innovated this one. The clause,
which specifies that the two right-
. , f i. . 1 1 i 'iu:
nana wccis ui uic car nuu uc m i mm
two feet of the curb, is absolutely
Impractical. I marked my car down
town yesterday in accordance with
the ordinance. When I tried to get
it out, I found I couldn't move
either way. The worst of it is, many
to the ordinance, which makes it.
more difficult for those who do."
"The parallel parking of cars cer
tainly robs the motorist of parking
space," said S. E. Smyth, secretary
of the Omaha Automobile club.
"Motorists are also left without a
down-town place to park their
: cars, since the short-time parking
ordinance was innovated on Doug
las street. The Omaha Automobile
cib fought tosecure permission for
all-day parking on Douglas street.
tn ih ritv rniinril refused to
grant it.
f. - "Motorists also have reason to
? be wrought up over the wheel tax
J.levied by the city council. Cars
w " 'which carry over five pastengers
are taxed $4, and smaller than nve-
, passenger cars, $2. When the wheel
tax ordinance was put through, the
city council agreed to spend 60 per
cent of the returns on street lm
jprovements and 40 per cent on
those of boulevards. This was as it
should have been, but now the re
turns are being placed in a common
fund for public improvement of any
kind.
"I would not blame the motorist
if he did not pay the wheel tax. He
more than the city council by not
using the fund as was promised."
The failure of the council to pass
the "jay walker" ordinance, prohib
iting pedestrians to cross the street
except at the regular intersections,
is another thorn in the motorist's
side. The entire responsibility is
thus placed on the driver of the car,
motorists say. Should a man dash
into the middle of the street in
front of a car and be struck, the
motorist now gets the blame,
whether it is his fault or not.
Want Bids-for Power
Plant for Nebraska
Medical College Here
Up to noon of July 26. at the of
fice of John Latenser & Sons, Bee
building, bids will be received for
the construction of a complete and
modern power plant at the Nebras
ka Medical college on Dewey ave
nue. The power plant proposed by the
State is expected to cost about $100,
000. Work of construction will e
gin as soon as possible after the
awarding or tne contract, ine
; structure will be of brick, stone
and steel, 60x100 feet and two
stories high. It will be equipped
with the latest in the way of boil
ers with automatic stokers. The
stack will rise 250 feet above the
foundation. The new plant will
supply all of the medical college
buildings with heat, light and power.
In addition, a siding will be con
structed from the Belt Line tracks
to the power plant, thus doing away
with tn hauling of coal by team
or auto.
! At the present time the college
buildings are supplied by heat and
5 power from adjoining structures.
Lawyers Receive Fee
Of $18,500 Each for
Handling Single Case
One of the largest legal fees re
ceived by an Omaha ittorney is said
to be that just paid to Byron G.
Burbank and James H. Adams, at
torneys for the American Security
company in its litigation against the
- Barker company, involving the build
. ing on the northwest corner of
KtnfinVi and Harnev streets. Each
of the attorneys is reported to have
The case has been fought through
the various courts since 1914, and a
decree was finally awarded Novem
ber 16, 1918. A few weeks ago the
building was sold by the sheriff for
$152,000 to the Thomas Davis Real
"Estate Co. The proceeds were di
vided, according to the court's de
cree, equally, the American Security
company receiving $76,050. The two
lawyers are said to haye received
half of this in accordance with an
agreement made when they took the
case.
W. J. Connell, attorney for the
Barker company, received a fixed fee
of $5,000. .
Des Moines Tractor
Company Will Open
Branch Office Here
The Herring Motor companyXof
Des Moines is opening a branch 'in
Omaha and has secured temporary
quarters in the Sterling Manufac
turing company building, Tenth and
Jones streets. The firm expects to
build a plant of its own here in the
near future, according to W. R.
Hershey, manager of the parts de-
parment, who is assisting in open
ing the branch office here:
Mr. Hershey says this company
is the largest accessory concern in
the United States and that it is that
exclusive agent for the Fordson
tractors and parts in Iowa, Nebras
ka and South Dakota. It is their
plan to carry in stock in Omaha,
besides the tractors, about $75,000 or
$80,000 worth of parts and make
this the main distributing point in
Nebraska.
The company has six traveling
salesmen in this state and the force
will be enlarged probably in a few
months.
C L. Herring, president, .whose
main office is in Des Moines, will
be in Omaha today to complete
arrangements for the opening of the
office here. J. W. McLain will
manage the business, together
with J. Jones, who is now the
chief salesman for the firm in Ne
braska. Mr. Hershey- says 8,000 Fordson
tractors have been sold in this state
by his firm.

Commissioner Argues
. Rock Island Road Did
Not Pay Him His Fees
United States Commissioner Mc
Laughlin argued his own claims
against the Rock Island railway for
$2,100 which he says is due him foi
services as grand master in settling
a law suit, before Federal Judge
Woodrough yesterday.
Commissioner McLaughlin was
appointed grand master to decide
merits of a $68,000 damage suit
brought aganst the Rock Island by
the Union Pacific, six years ago. He
decided against the Rock Island and
filed a claim for $2,100 for his serv
ices. His decision was confirmed by
higher courts and the Rock Island
was forced to pay 'the Union Pa
cific the amount it sued for. The
Rock Island refused to pay him for
his services, however, Commissioner
McLaughlin alleges.
Judge Woodrough continued the
case.
Over a third of the population of
Dublin consists of families living in
a single room.
