Three complaints , in connection

Omaha were filed yesterday by
United States District Attorney

Hymie Milder. South Side grocer,
from whom 85,000 pounds of sugar
were confiscated in raids last week,
was charged with unlawful hoard
ing for the purpose of increasing the
price. A similar charge was filed
against I. Nathan, grocer at 1625
Chicago street, with an additional
complaint that he charged an un
just price in connection with , the
sale of 5,000 bags of sugar to the
South Omaha Ice Cream company
for 23 cents. ...
Norte of the sugar seized by fed
eral agents in Omaha will be re
turneduntil the pending cases have

tigations made by the Department

Commissioners Secide
Property Owners Must
Buy Up Paving Bonds
Lack of buyers for municipal im
provement bonds will force proper
ty owners desiring improvements to
buy bonds sufficient to cover (he
cost of the work, the city commis
sioners decided yesterday. The ac
tion is regarded by the commission
ers as the only solution of the prob
lem 4nd will mean, it is believed,
an abandonment of a large part of
he improvement program adopted
on demands of property owners
in all parts of the city'.
Offer of the Woodmen of the
World to buy bonds at a price $60
or on $70 below par on a $1,000
bond, Commissioner Ure said, could
not be accepted because law pro
hibits sale of municipal honors at
a price below par. . He suggests
that property owners demanding
improvements make up the differ
ence of $60 or $70 on each $1,000
bond and enter ino negotiations
with the Woodmen for their pur
chase. '
On Tune 30, 1919, there were
67,424 factories, employing 1,384,888
persons, in New York state.
Woodmen to Build Another
Farnamv Street Skyscraper

the site and plans for construction
was made yesterday by W. A.
Fraser, sovereign commander of the
Woodmen. The lot purchased at
L131M3 Farnam street, has a front
age of 40 feet and the considera
tion was said to be $90,000.
Construction work will begin as
soon as labor and material condi
tions are more settled, Fraser said.
The building will be used largely
for offices of Woodmen officials. -
