CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Water Bills in appropriation ordi

Water Bills in Appropriation Ordf-
nance Nearly Defeat the Latter.
The city council met in special session at
II o'clock yesterday. The meeting was mainly
for the purpose of passing the pending ap-
preparation ordinance, that warrants could
be drawn on the sinking fund for the bonded
obligations which mature March /. In the
considering of the appropriation ordinance
the fight over the water bills was again res
directed. Several Objectionable items were
eliminated from the ordinance by a resolu-
ton by President Bingham. These were the
items for $35 for printing the pamphlets
containing the mayors veto OF the water
works proposition; the bill OF $25 for
stenographer's services performed for the
city engineer and items in favor of the
Kloop G. Bartlett company for printing and
lithographing, which were alleged to be
excessive.
The only objection was in favor of the

Directors of the Exposition Satisfied
with the Northwestern
The Northwestern's subscription of $50, 1000
to the Transmississippi Exposition and The
Bees announcement of the fact Friday
afternoon were the principal subjects of dis
cussion in local railway circles yesterday.
General Agent Kuhn of the Northwestern
knew nothing of the matter until he re-
turned from a trip through the state Friday
evening. He was much pleased with the
news and said that he knew that the subject
had been under serious consideration and
that when the company did announce a sub
scription 1t would be a liberal one. He and
the other repre- sent .tives of the N~orthwe5,ern
continued TO receive congratulations through
out the morning.
Tho local offices on the roads that have as
yet not subscribed promptly telegraphed the
news TO their respective headquarters. Two
of the four Omaha-C Chicago lines have now
announced liberal subscriptions to the expo
sition and the local representatives Of the
other two will endeavor to induce their SUI
periors to hurry up with their subscriptions
in order not to be lost in the shuttle. The
annual meeting of the Rock Island will occur
at an early date and favorable action is
looked for at that time. All the local rail-
readers agreed that the Northwestern's sub
scription was a liberal one, but no more
liberal than was expected from that COM
pany after the location Of the exposition on
its line.

secretary and treasurer OF the division, A.
X. Pease, and settle the difficulty over the
exchange of the moneys and the books OF
the division from the one official to the
other.
Mccall explains his side in the contro-
versy as follows; The misunderstanding
regarding the transfer Of the money of the
treasury to my successor was due to the
fact that / had deposited the funds in the
German Savings bank of this city, which
failed on July 10, 1896. There was $1,000 OF
the divisions money in the defpnct bank.
When / was made secretary and treasurer
the only books | received were a roll book
and a letter book. During my term / changed
the roll to a card system at my own ex-
pense and used the old roll book in sending
out lists to local leagues. At the end OF
my term | turned over all the letters, the
vouchers and the cards constituting the card
system of the membership roll to my sue
cessor. ! also have a receipt dated February
8, signed by Attorney neBord of this city,

declared that previously the city engineer
had been allowed $40 per month Tor horse
hire. Recently he had saved part OF TINS
amount and 1t was no more than TAR that
he should do as he pleased with the money
that he had saved.
Bingham did not accept that sort OF logo.
He declared that at the present time there
was no use for a horse and buggy IN tne
engineering department, but even granting
that the engineer had been economical In ms
livery bills, that was no reason why ne
should be allowed to be extTavagant In an
other direction. The resolution striking out
the item was adopted.
The majority report on the Appropriation
ordinance as amended. which allowed the
water bills. was lost by a tie vote.

The minority report, striking out the
water bill. was also lost by a vote, and
each side accused the other OF ~obstructing
the passage OF the ordinance and thus pre-
venting the city from meeting It's interest
obligations.
At this point Wheeler moved that a spe-
cial committee be appointed to confer with
the water company. but the idea that the
! matter should be left to the committee
previously designated prevailed and the
! motion was lost.
Tho vote by which the majority report
was lost was then reconsidered and the pre-
vious controversy was renewed. A motion
to strike out the bill for water rent was
lost by the same tie vote and Wheeler
moved thai as neither report could be
adopted the roll be called on the ordinance,
o'Malley moved a call of the house, but
could not obtain the necessary support.
The ordinance was then passed, the nee
essary votes being given, with the state.
mont that IL was solely to save the credit
of the city and on the understanding that
the mayor would veto the item relating tc
hydrant rentals.
A resolution by Bingham, directing the
comptroller to refer all purchases OF supplies
not included In the annual contracts an.
amounting to more than 500 to the council
was adopted.
Similar action was tai en- on Stunts reso
luton, which provided that no more extra
time be allowed for city employees.
