SHERIFF CLARK
FIRM ON STAND
ON HOG NUISANCE
As Chairman of New County
Health Board He Says
He Will Protect
Citizens.
"V-i
V
SherlfT Oark, as chairman of the
new county board of health, will
support citizens of the northwest
part of Omaha and beyond the city
limits in their protests against 'the
location of a garbage dumping
ground by the city at DeBolt sta
tion. " Aroused by reports that a garb
age and hog yard will be located at
DeBolt, and that a nuisance would
be created, 100 residents held a
meeting of protest Friday night at
the DeBolt club, where formal ac
'tion was taken toward filing pro
tests with the city council and the
new county board of health.
Sheriff Promises Protection.
Sheriff Clark yesterday reiterated
his statement of Friday, that he will
: protect the citizens of- the county
" against the proposed establishment
of a hog and garbage plant at De
Bolt. He insists that if such an es
tablishment is not good enough for
the city of -Omaha, it is not good
enough for the county.
"Of .course," said Acting Mayor
Ure, "if the hog yard at DeBolt
hould be a hazard to the health ot
the county, then the county board
of health would be justified in caus
ing its abatement, but I don't under
stand why it should be a nuisance.
I hope there will be no smell. It
seems to me that a farmer has the
right to use his farm as a hog-feeding
yard as long as he does not of
fend others."
. "I am not going to t agitated
. about it," replied City Commissioner
Zimman. "If the city can t go to
DeBolt with the garbage, then we
will have to go somewhere else. I
think tnat the name of 'hog ranch'
ounds more objectionable than the
actual nuisance would be. A hog
ranch may be maintained in a sani
tary manner. Why yell before a
nuisance has been created? If we
can't dispose of the garbage by the
,hog yard method, then we may
have to build a reduction plant"
Would Endanger Water.
The protestants at the meeting
Friday night emphasized the fact
'that the Pollack location at DeBolt
in on high ground and 'that- much
-of s the waste garbage would be
drained into Mill Creek and another
contention is that the city water in
take above Florence would be in
danger of contamination.
V It was suggested that the dry
should establish a garbage disposal
ground in the restricted district
where fertilizers and ." rendering
plants are locatea. a committee rep
. resenting the protestants will ap
peat before the city council com
mittee of the wnoie next - Monday
morninsr.
The city council last week voted
to award to Henry Pollack a five-
year garbage contract, follack in-
d'eating that he had arranged for
. the use of a HQ-acre farm at DeBolt.
- The contract with Pollick has not
- been presented for signature.

UNSTABLE LABOR
CONDITIONS MAY
DELAY BUILDING
Number of Construction Pro
grams May Be Held Up Un
til General Situation
Here Clears.
Because of unstable labor condi
tions and wage scales, a number of
building programs for this summer
and fall in Omaha may be delayed.
The Loose-Wiles - Biscuit Co.,
which planned to erect a large
wholesale house, has definitely can
celled its plans. H. G. Hoerner, of
the Iten Biscuit Co., announced yes
terday that if labor unrest continued
a proposed $500,000 factory which
was to have been erected this sum
mer would not be built.
Trimble Bros., fruit jobbers, an
nounced yesterday that a large
wholesale house which they con
templated ereceting would be given
up unless labor conditions became
more settled.
The proposed erection of a giant
office building at Nineteenth and
Farnam streets, by the American
State Bank may be delayed unless
labor conditions improve before con-
dent, said yesterday. "We are going
ahead with our plans, however,
said Mr. Shafer.
C G. Carlberg, realtor, who
planned to build a large-' number
of residences during the fall and
summer, has announced that he will
do little building until conditions
become more stable.
Common laborers have struck on
many jobs in Omaha for 60 and 70
cents an hour. They have been re
ceiving 50 and 55 cents. Plasterers
have demanded $1 an hour, and
carpenters 90 cents an hour, the
raise to Jake effect by August 1

tempiatinE maxine aemanas tor
higher wages, it is said.
Builders say that bids which they
receive from contractors average
from 15 to 25 per cent higher than
their original estimates. Contract
ors say that they have no idea what
a job is to cost them when they oia
on it with the present labor unrest,
and must bid high or lose money.
Thev attribute some of their aim
culty to the high cost of material,
but contend that it is directly due
to the high cost of labor where the
material is produced.
