THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1921.
Revolving Fund
Will Speed Up
Omaha Paving
Provision in New City Charter
For Sale of Bonds by
Council One of Most Im
portant Improvements.
Omaha's public ( improvement pro
gram starts off under exceptionally
favorable auspices, due to the suc
cess of Lity Commissioners w. u.
Ure, and Roy N. Towl of the ac
counts and' finance and the public
improvements departments.
These officials incorporated in the
new city charter a provision which
authorizes the city council to sell
bonds with which to finance public
improvements, particularly paving.
An ordinance will be presented to
the city council next Tuesday, pro-
iding for the sale of $300,000 bonds,
the proceeds vfrom which will en
able the city to promote new pav
ing under more favorable conditions.
Commissioner Towl held a confer
ence with the paving contractors
esterday and it was agreed that pav
ing work will be started May I, I he
assurance that the city will have, the
money ready for1 the contractors as
their work progresses serves as an
incentive for thetn to get busy. Un
der the old system the contractors
were required to accept city war
rants which had to be discounted ii
the holders were in a hurry for
working capital.
Fund to Be Replenished.
This new revolving fund for pub
lic improvements will be replenished
as the property owners in the various
improvement districts pay in their
special taxes and in that manner tnc
city will finance its own paving im
provements and be in a position to
expect and demand more favorable
bids from the contractors.
One of the first jobs to be started
will be the paving of the Dodge
street hill and intersecting streets.
Another important job will be Vin
ton street, from Thirteenth to Twen
tieth ' street, a district, which has
been pending for 18 months. Other
paving districts are: Curtis avenue,
Thirtieth to Thirty-fourth; Fifty
eighth, Military avenue to Benson
hurst; Forty-eighth, Military avenue
to Maple; Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth,
Military avenue to Tratt; Minne
Lusa avenue. Redick to Mary; Kan
sas avenue. Twenty-seventh to Thir
tieth; Thirty-second, Curtis avenue
t Redick, and many smaller dis
tricts. Important Improvements.
This plan of the city financing its
public improvements-through a re
volving fund is said to be one of the
most important municipal improve
ments of the present administration.
City Commissioners Ure and Towl
worked a long time on the details of
the plan and succeeded in having.it
placed in the new charter which is
ready for the governor's signature.
Every paving contractor will know
'wt his money is ready and that he
will be paid as his work proceeds
and when the work has finally been
approved the last payment will- be
made. He will be able to meet obli
gations promptly and the experience
in other cities where this plan has
been tried has been that lower bids
have been received and contractors
are more eager to keep faith with
the city. , .

A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT
When Charles was King of Hungary.
In nineteen-seventeen,
Each day or two a bullet flew
Careering past his bean.
And when upon his royal throne
To rest he sat him down,
A chargeof shot would. like as not,
Remove his jewelled crown.
He iicver had a moment's peace
Until the moment when .
He flew the coop, and now the stupe
Would like the job again!
When Charles was King of Hungary.
In everything lie ate
At lunch or 4ea would often be
Corrosive sublimate. ,
While cyanide of mercury
Was mingled with his wine
And made him illas such stuff will
" When he sat down to dine.
Assassins of assorted kinds
Were always on his track,
Until the day he got away
Yet now he'd fain go back!
When Charles was King of Hungary
Rude murderers would lurk , .
On every hand, who foully planned
To get him with a dirk.
He got but very little sleep
For thinking how he'd feel
If in his chest there sank to rest
A half a yard of steel.
Malignant faces, peered at him
Wherever he would glance.
And yet, at that, he'd go to bat,
To take another chance!

Servant girls seem to do pretty well under the open chop rule.
SPOILED
Some of the plays that have been imported from Europe seem to prove
that there was a shortage of ice over there, during the war.
