Last night a meeting of the Board of Trade
was held in the council chamber to hear re-
ports Of committees on the opening OF
Twenty-fourth street to the Sarpy county
line. A number of farmers from Sarpy were
present, but the business men of this city
were lacking. President Ensor delayed call
ing the meeting to order, while a committee
went out and hunted up enough business men
and property owners to make a respectable
showing.
A letter was read from City Engineer Beal
and Scott King on the estimated cost Of the
| road from Wyman street to the county line.
The engineers reported that a road, macad-
amized, sixteen feet wide. would cost abou.
SIS, 900. 1t was thought that the street rail
way company would pay a part of the cost
of the construction Of the road, and thus les
sen the burden on the taxpayers.
The committee appointed to visit the prop
erty owners on South Twenty-fourth street
reported by proxy. 1t seemed to be the gen.
eral feeling along the proposed line that the
owners of property were paying all the taxes
they could stand at the present time, and they
were not overjoyed at the prospect of hav-
ing to put up any more money.
Another committee stated that the county
commissioners of Douglas county had asked
that a petition signed by taxpayers be pre-
scented to that body, at the same time stating
that there was no money available now for
the proposed improvement.
President Ensor then appointed a commit
tee to circulate a petition among the tax
payers urging the commissioners to help the
city out on the Twenty-fourth street route.
The committee consists of John Flynn, John
Carroll, Bernard Brebs. j. Levy, F.. Fl.
Cressy, C. H. Melchor and ]. B. Smiley. Pc
titions will be in circulation today, and all
of the owners of South Omaha property, as
well as those who pay taxes here, will be
asked to sign.
A statement was made that the county COM
missloners of Sarpy county would meet next
Tuesday and would be pleased to hear from
South Omaha in regard to the proposed route.
Several of the members of the committee or
petitions volunteered to go to Papillion on
that day and have a talk with the commits
sioners. The general feeling seemed to be
that IL South Omaha started the road the
Sarpy county people would carry 1t through.
City Engineer Beal thinks that the route
could be improved now by filling in the road
in the bottoms with cinders, pending a de-
cision in the matter. This work Mr.. Beal
thinks could be done for about $500. The
road through the bottoms and along Mud
creek Is in bad condition from early fall
until late in the spring. Another meeting
will be held in a few days to hear reports of
committees and to get the business men in
tereSted in the matter.
