A Lafayette County Man, Who Was
Blind, Restored to Sight.

There was q very delicate and successful
operation performed here, by the celebrated
o~cculist, DR.. Kimberlin, assisted by Drs.
Alexander and ChastaIn. They removed a
cataract from the eye Of Mr. J. L.. Colvert,
father of Messrs. J ii. and Hayden COlvert,
Of this city. Mr.. Colvert lives in MayvieW,
Lafayette county, and has been bin on
account OF cataract in his eyes for ten y ears.
1t was thought best to operate on one eye at
@ time. Although seventy years old, he bore
the operation without taking any anesthetic
whatever. TIL sight was restored Mar

PROBATE COURT DOCKET.
February Term, 1880.

i LEROY FARMER.
Omaha daily bee., 1889-03-17
THE oMAHA CHAnrER.

Governor Thayer approved the Omaha
charter yesterday, and IL Is now in full
force and effect. Some Of the changes
made in the provisions of the charter
of two years ago are important. Chief
among these, perhaps, is the one taking
the construction OF public buildings out
OF the control of the board of public
works and placing 1t in charge OF the
mayor and council. There was not
only present necessity for this change,
but it is wise on general principles, tn Q
executive officer of the city and the
legislative represent ntatives OF the peo-
pie being manifestly the proper powers
to control the construction Of the public
buildings. They are required to be
governed by the same methods OF pro-
ceedure as now govern the board OF
public works, so that the amended
charter simply makes trsnsfer OF
authority without eifecting any change
in the manner Of the exercise Of the
authority.
Another important feature OF the
new charter is the authority given the
mayor and council to appropriate pri-
vate property for parks, boulevards and
public squares. 1t is provided that
whenever such appropriation shall
tbe declared necessary by ordi-
nance, the mayor, with the
| approval of the council, shall
appoint three disiuterested freeholders
| OF the city to assess the damages to the
| owners of the property respectively
taken by such appropriation, the dam
age so assessed to be subject to confirm
alton or rejection by the council. Pro-
vision is made for a board OF park com
missioners to consist of five members
and to be appointed by the judges of
the district court, whose duty it shall
be to lay out, improve and beautify all
grounds now owned or hereafter ac-
quired by the city for public parks. For
the creation of a park fund levy OF not
less than one and one-h half mills and not
exceeding three mills on the dollar val
uation of all taxable property is author
lied. Under these provisions Omaha
may be expected to make an early start
in establishing much-needed park
system.
The authority to grant liquor license:
is now lodged in the hands of the mayor
and board of five police commits
sioners which will undoubtedly be found
II much more satisfactory arrangement
than that which it supplants. There
are other changes of minor importance,
but all of them improvements suggested
by experience in the operation OF the
charter of 1887. A faithful enforce
ment of the provisions of the new
charter ought to insure Omaha one
of the best city governments in the
! country.
