man whose personal interests are at
stake either financially or politically, or
one who is "agin all taxation and public
improvements of every character"
a few thirgs to remember.
NO BONDS ARE TO BE DELIV-
Erred UNTIL THE IMPROVEMENTS
FOR WHICH THEY ARE GIVEN
ARE COMPLETED,
The proposition must BE- ratified by
the Nebtaska Central within forty-five
days after the election.
Work must begin before May l, 1893,
and continuous progress made, and must
not stop for period exceeding ninety
days, before at least 81, 000, 900 has been
expended; 100000 must be expended
within tho first nine months upon actual
construction, not including tho cost OF
real estate or right of way.
If any one of these conditions Is vio-
lated all the subsidies are by the terms
OF the proposition forfeited.
Tho bonds are to he placed in trust,
but do not become an indebtedness of the
city or councty until they arc delivered
by the trustee, who can only deliver
them upon the order of the mayor and
city council and board of county COM
missioners, and all coupons are TO be re-
! moved before delivery.
This is an Omaha enterprise, pro-
jected by Omaha mon, but the public
interests arc so well protected that no
matter who may own it in the future,
the city and county cannot be deprived
| OF the benefits which they have been
promised.
Please read Hon. John d. Howe's
letter in another column and SEQ what
II man who is thoroughly familiar with
conditions contained in the proposition,
and who has The interests of the public
at heart, thinks of this matter.
Also please read the resolutions
passed by the Real Estate Owners asso-
citation, the Manufacturers and Con-
sumers association and the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange and SEQ
what the shippers think of the project
If you feel that the maximum ratio
should have been inserted, read Mr..
Dumont's letter Of June 8, which app
pears in another calumn.
If you think the bridge rate is of any
great Importance, read Mr.. Dumont's
next letter, which will appear in THE
BEE and World Herald within few
days, and which is crowded cut of The
BEE today for lack of space.
If you feel that the men who are back
of this project are not in earnest or have
not the ability to carry it out, watch the
daily papers for information on this
point.
If you think this is n Union Pacific
deal, see if you can harmonize the terms
of the proposition with the we'll known
policy of tho Union Pacific, which aims
at keeping the railroads out of this city
and out of the territory west of the Mis-
souri, river.
If you think this is scheme to get
these subsidies and by blackmail secure
from the enemies of the project con-
sideratlon for allowing the matter to
drop, look over the list of names of
those connected with tho enterprise
which has been heretofore published
and which will be published again
before election day with number OF
new names included, and see whether
you believe them capable of such
dastardly transaction.
If you are still disposed to vote against
the bonds because of some personal
feeling against some member of the
company or some conflicting inter-
est, please think twice before you
help to deprive your neighbors and
friends of the possibility of securing
this great addition TO the railroad ia
| ciltes of this city, county and state,
| and consider carefully whether the
benefits to you personally will not out
| weigh all considerations.
