On account Of the adverse decisions Of the
courts in the matter of the Twenty fourth
street paving tax it is thought that the
only solution OF the problem will be the
voting of general bonds to redeem the out
standing district paving bonds Perhaps
half of this paving tax has been paid into
the city treasury, but fully 100000 remains
unpaid and as the city guaranteed the bonds
issued by the district it is natural to ex
pect the city to look after the payment
OF tho same. AS the total bonded indebt-
edness of the city would not be increased
by such an issue no vote of the people
would be needed. The change would merely
be from district to general Indebtedness.
This question will no doubt receive the
attention OF the city council before long.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

a great many people seem to favor W.
Checks scheme OF selling buttons for the
purpose OF raising money enough to erect
a public hall and a permanent home for
the Commercial club. In the minds OF some
the scheme is more feasible than Clark's idea
OF securing 100 men willing to contribute $40
each. 1t is figured that the packers and
commission men would each purchase a
bundle Of buttons to distribute to customers
or to sell to visitors. The railroads ought.
naturally, TO assist and so had the other
corporations here. Mr. Cheek drlfted into
figures yesterday and when he completed
his labors his estimate showed that there
should be no difficulty in selling between
5000 and 5000 buttons at 81 each.
Mayor Ensor is showing considerable in
tercst in the matter and suggested yester
day that the site be secured first and that
the proceeds from the buttons be used ex-
clusvely for the erection OF a building. As
was announced few days ago the mayor ex-
pressed himself willing to be one OF ten
business men to purchase the site. This
site should in the mayors opinion, cost
not less than $4,000, the locality to be chosen
by the ten men who subscribe the purchase
price. With the site already on hand It ie
considered that there will be little difficulty
iE selling enough buttons to erect suit
able building. The revenue, will pay run
ming expenses, as South Omaha is without
public hall, and one is badly needed. This
project is not to be allowed to die out. but
will be carefully considered by the directors
of the Commercial club within few days
The data relating to the amount OF live
stock slaughtered here, as printed in The
Bee of day or two ago, are n revelation to
many and show that South Omaha is forging
to the front as a livestock center. South
Omaha packs sixty-two head of cattle out
OF every 100 head received ninety-eight
hogs out OF every 100 and sXtyive sheep
out of every 100 unloaded here. This is a
showing to be proud of. and it is more
than likely that this information will be
printed in the folder and prospectus which
the Commercial club is figuring on issu-
ing. One idea is to obtain as much valuable
information as possible and place it on
folder so that it may be enclosed in letters
and sent out. Every member of the club
will be provided with an unlimited number
of these folders and requested to enclose
one in each letter mailed. If this is done
South Omaha will soon be advertised all
over the country and at small expense.

On December l the railroad rates on live
stock will be charged at the rate of cents
per hundred pounds instead of dollars per
car. This new ruling is endorsed by all
roads and extends for a distance of 400 or
500 miles from Omaha. Upon arriving at
this market cars will be weighed upon the
scales maintained by the railroads and the
weight OF the live stock arrived at accu-
rately. When shipping by the car stockmen
arc prone to overload and thus lose by
death or animals being crippled. When pay
ing for shipments at so many cents per hun
dred pounds this overlooking will hardly be
known and shippers will be better accommo-
dated with cars. The plan has been tried
before and while some object to it many
think that it is the best in the long run.
