CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Fist Step Taken in the Direction of Munich
pal Ownership.
PROPOSITION WILL GO TO The VOTERS
Ordinance Read for First Time 10 &c
submitted at Spring Election
for Issue of Five Million
Bonds.

After several years of discussion the coun-
ell Tuesday night took the first tentative
step toward the city ownership of the water
works plant. The opinion Of the city at
torney in reference to the matter had been
referred to Burmester, Mercer and Bing
ham, Of the committee on fire, water and
police, who submitted a recommendation.
The resolution provided that the city at
torney's opinion, already published in PAM
phlet FORM be furnished to any applicant
wishing information on the subject, and
advised that further action be taken as fol-
lows:
Your committee reports and recommends
that all necessary and proper steps be
taken without delay for acquiring the water
works for the city. 1t has been fully dem
onstrated that municipal ownership when
ever and wherever tried under proper Condi-
tions is financially successful and greatly
beneiicial to the public. Your committee
believes that the time has come when
Omaha should institute the necessary pro-
ceedings to acquire a water works plant
which your committee believes should be
owned and operated by the city at the
earliest time practicable. To accomplish
this purpose your committee recommends,
in accordance with the views of each mem
ber of your committee and with the eN-
pressed wish of many of the citizens of
Omaha, that proposition be submitted to
the voters of the city at the next city
election authorizing the issuance of bonds
works plant under the right of the city so
to do.
The resolution concludes with the provi
sion that in the matter of fixing upon the
valuation of the proposed property one ap
praiser shall be chosen by the city, one by
the water works company and one by the two
sn chosen.

With the report was submitted proposed
ordinance framed by the city attorney, call
ing for an expression of the people at the
spring election to whether bonds in the
sum of $5,000000, more or less, should be
voted for the requirement of the water
works. In the ordinance the mayor is in
structed to utter a proclamation providing
for the election and other details are ar
ranged for. The report was adopted and the
ordinance was read for the first and second
time.
Objection was made by Lobeck to the pro-
posed sum of s5,OOO,0OO, which he thought
an eXorbitant amount Bingham said in
reply that it was better to provide a sufTi-
cheney in the first instance if it was the
desire of the people to acquire the plant
rather than to face the necessity of another
bond election if the appraisal exceeded 3d.
100000 or whatever other decreased amount
might be named. The ordinance contem-
plates the requirement of the plant by the
right of eminent domain rather than upon
the expiration Of the contract five years
hence.
Lobeck offered a resolution to refer the
subject to the city engineer for an estimate
the probable value of the plant. He be-
leved ii would be useful for guidance as
to the amount of the proposed issue OF
bonds. Several members pointed out, how
ever that Mr.. Rosewater will probably be
called upon to act as the citys appraiser
and such present reference might embarrass
his action then. No action was taken on the
resolution.
A resolution was introduced ordering
that the contract with John Knowles for
construction of wooden sidewalks be revoked
and that all work referred to him be
Cancelled. Mercer pointed out that the con-
tractor had refused to carry out his agree
ment and expressed the opinion that he
should be barred in all future bidding. The
matter was referred to the city engineer.
communication was received from Metz
Bros. setting forth a recent discovery that
no taxes had been paid on three lots ad-
joining their brewery for the years 1861, 1862
and 1868. The firm is desirous of making
payment at this date, providing that the
penalty tax of per cent be revoked, and
such action was taken.
The claim Of Mrs Elizabeth Van Blorkim
for personal damages, which has been a
shuttlecock between the council and the city
attorney for several meetings once more ap-
peared with a provisional recommendation
from the legal department attached. The
attorneys advice was couched in the same
guarded terms which marked his previous
communications on the subject and the
council once more referred the claim to the
same source. The amount prayed for is
81 900 to reimburse the petitioner for in
jures received in fall on Harvey street.
The Judge Gordon salary dispute ap-
peared from the committee on judiciary and
was referred to the city attorney.
In accordance with the request of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners au-
thority was granted for the purchase of
new hook and ladder truck to replace the
antiquated one now out of service.

Mr.. H. N. Warner, of Kearney,
Neb., says:
"In 1894 1 was attacked with
paralysis in my left side. You
might stick a pin to the head
into my left hip and l would not
feel it. l was unable to do any
kind Of work, and had to be turned
in bed. fully made up my mind
that l could not be cured, as l had
used all kinds of medicine and had
tried many doctors. AT last
was advised to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and 1
very reluctantly commenced their
use last September. Before l had
finished my first box I began to
feel much better, and by the time
l had used six boxes the paralysis Is
disappeared; and although two /
months have passed since finished
my last box, there has been no re-
currence of the disease"

A BANNER RAILROAD YEAR.

THE year 1899 will be the BAN
ner one in the history of American
railroads, The receipts of the
leading transportation companies
up to date already exceed those
for the full year of 1898, which
held the record up to, that time.
The number of tons of freight
moved largely exceeds that of any
preceding year. The only decrease
shown is in grain, which is about
10000 cars behind the movement
of year ago. The explanation
of the falling off is decreased ex-
ports. November was one of the
highest months of the year, the
deliveries at Chicago to the east
ern lines being only l5,I42 cars,
a decrease of Is, 440 cars compared
with the preceding month. The
decreased movement in Novem Der
was due to Discrimination on the
part of farmers to sell their grain
owing to low prices. Early in the
mouth, when a demand existed
and prices were higher, cars were
not available. Later, when they
became more plentiful, the de-
mand had subsidized. The decreas-
ed grain movement was more than
Offset by the excessive merchan-
disc and other tonnage, which pay
higher rate than grain. Rail
road managers express the opinion
that there is more tonnage in sight
than ever before at this season of
the year. and that the companies
are assured continued big business
at profitable rates during the win
ter and spring Exchange.

What the Postmaster Would Like
to Say.

The rush of mail matter of
the holiday nature is already on,
and in order to guard against delay
and loss in transportation persons
sending packages should have
them tied before bringing them to
the Office, and a return card plac-
ed on the upper left hand corner
so that in case of obliteration or
bursting the contents can be re-
turned to the sender. All pack
ages should be carefully weighed
and the proper amount of postage
attached. Quick deliveries should
have ten cent special delivery
stamp.

E. E. Watts and family left us
today for their new home in Ne
vada, Missouri. Mr.. Watts was
formerly one of the owners of The
TRIBUNE, and also foreman of the
office. He had resided in Colora-
do for about fifteen years, and
through social and business rela-
tions with the people had secured
the high esteem and confidence of
all with whom he had come in con
tact. This office, as we'll as the
community in general, regret his
removal, but trust he and family
will find much congeniality in
their new location. Mr.. Watts
has an aged father and mother
who, since the death of daughter,
are left alone, and he considers it
to be his duty to go there and
make their remaining days as
pleasant as possible. We are sure
that at, some time in the future he
will be found back in Colorado
again.
