SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.



Chairman Bulla of the buildings and
grounds committee of the Board, of Educa-
ton Is advertising for bids for the con-
struction of a sewer from the Brown Park
school building to connect with the main
sanitary sewer on Railroad avenue. This
sewer will be about $500 feet in length, and
the estimated cost is something over 81, 900.
By the building of this sewer the trouble
about defective closets will be done away
with and flushing closets Of the best type
will be installed. Superintendent Wolfe
recommended the sewer, as did also Archi-
tect Kiewit. A majority Of the members OF
the board favor the sewer, but a few are
inclined to prefer outside closets for the
time being on account of the lack OF money
in the school fund. When the sewer is
built it will be paid for In some way and
will be there to stay, thus putting a stop
to constant complaints from teachers and
pupils about the foul air in the building.
Bids for the new school house at TWEEN
tieth and o streets are also being asked
for. The deeds to this property have been
accepted by the board and the work of grad
ing the lots to the proper level Is now In
progress. 1t Is hoped that this new build
ing will be ready for occupancy by Janu-
airy /, but unless work commences within
the next two weeks the structure cannot
be under roof before cold weather sets in.
1t is more than likely that the bids for
this building will be opened at the next
meeting OF the board September II.
The work Of preparing the old build
ings for the reception of pupils is progress
ing as we'll as could be expected, and when
the fall term opens next Monday a major
ity of the rooms will have been cleaned.
papered and painted.
In connection with the selection OF
Frank Seykora as principal OF the High
school, there seems to be a feeling of sat
~isfaction that the trouble over this APP
pointment has finally been settled. Mr..
Seykora comes we'll recommended and
Superintendent Wolfe has assured the
board that be will assume part OF the re-
sponsibility for the work OF the High
school. Member of the board had two
other we'll known teachers In view for this
position, but one demanded 1900 a year,
while the other wanted 81. 200. Mr.. Sey-
kora will be paid at the rate of 800 q
month, which will mean 5000 for the year.
Superintendent Wolfe is confident now
that with new blood at the head of the
High school department the standard set
can be maintained and that there will be
no occasion for complaint from either pupils
or parents In regard TO the methods EN-
ployed.
The talk about John Fitz Roberts resign
ing as president of the board seems to be
subsiding, and 1t is reported that he has
reconsidered his intention in this respect
and will remain at the head OF the board
until his term expires.

PROCEEDINGS Of THE CITY COUNCIL
Measures Taken TO Give F~ifty-First
Town q ReceptiOn.

Iowa "a Reception.
The extreme heat had an enervating effect
on the aldermen and the regular monthly
meeting OF the city council last night was
cut as short as possible and very little
outside of routine business attempted.
The commercial committee in it's monthly
report called attention to the fact that the
Fifty-first lows was expected to sail from
Manila today and suggested that the city
take some steps towards preparing to
give the soldier boys a fitting reception.
The committee suggested that the mayor
take the matter IN with Governor Shaw,
looking towards having the regiment
brought to this city and rendered a general
reception, the boys dispensing to their diff
ferent homes from here. The matter was
also brought up by Alderman Shubert and
Mayor Jennings was requested to at once
enter into correspondence with the gov
ernor OH the subject.
The committee also recommended that
the council take action looking towards the
condemnation of the number OF "rookeries''
on Broadway between the postofice and
the Northwestern depot which spoil the
appearance of the main thoroughfare of
the city. Bids for the laying of brick side
walks were received from John Mulqueen,
John Skinkle, John NJ. Harden and B. T..
Wlckham. They were referred to the city
engineer for tabulation.
John Linder applied for permission TO
oIen a saloon at 9O1 South Main street,
but as the trustees of Trinity Methodist
church have filed a protest, the applica-
ton was referred TO the city attorney.
The Union Pacific railway was given per-
mission TO erect an iron bridge at it's
dump at Thirty-hfth street in place of the
brick culvert first decided on. The pro.
posed bridge will give a forty-foot opening
which will be greater than that afforded by
a culvert.
On motion of Alderman Casper, 1t was
decided TO discontinue the cutting of weeds
for the present, owing to the drain on the
funds Of the streets and alleys committee.
