ers have been invited Henry c. Murphy, A.
L. Sutton and possibly two or three more

addresses.
The nearer election day comes" said a
republican last night, the more 1t looks
like the election OF Koutsky and the re-
| publican ticket. Loechner is losing ground
every day and so is Sloane. To my mind It
is now only a question OF Koutsky's plural
| ity. He is a sure winner. Koutsky has
| shown by his acts as treasurer that he is
a man Of executive ability and he certainly
will give to the city of South Omaha a
! good, clean administration. AS for the can
didates for council they are all well known
! republicans and really do not need any in
PRODUCTION to the public. AS the election
| is at large every voter in the city will have
an opportunity Of expressing his choice for
| the council"
Considerable interest is taken by the
people in a reorganization Of the Board Of
Education. The republican candidates are
| especially well thought Of There is Jay
bdNeTly, DuSlDGSS man anu
| splendid citizen. He is deeply interested in
church work and will doubtless head his
ticket in the coming race. Dana Morrill,,
another of the republican nominees for the
board, has been in business in South Omaha
for years. He has made a success Of it
and 1t is asserted that this goes to show
| that he is competent to have a voice in
the handling OF the school district money.
| Albert Peterson is employed in a clerical
position at Swift's and is considered
| splendid accountant. so that his services
! on the board would be valuable to the peo-
pie, especially at this time when grave
| financial questions are to come up shortly
The republican meetings held last night
we're well attended and a great deal Of
confidence in the ultimate result Of the
campaign was shown.

The City Assessment.
Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald said yester-
day that he would have until April 10 to
name his deputies and that work on MAX
year until May /. This work." said Mr..
Fitzgerald, must be completed by June 10.
AS have the records in good shape the
torty-hve days allowed by law will be
ample time in which to make the assess
ment." The board Of review will sit from
June Is to June rs and receive complaints
from property owners. It is hoped that the
result of the work OF the tax department
this year will show a marked increase In
the valuation Of the property owned by the
corporations.
Liquor License Applications.
The Omaha Evening Bee tonight will
print about forty applications for liquor
licenses. All licenses expire on May l
and under the law the council must grant
new licenses before this date. This year
the license fee will be $1,000. So far no
effort has been made by the council to levy
an occupation tax, and 1t is possible that
nothing OF the sort will be done, az the
life of the present council is so short.
