City Gossip.

While all the members Of the city council
were present when the roll was called last
night, and Mayor Kelly was lowering about
on the outskirts, the meeting adjourned
until tonight. 1t was reported that the rea5
son for the delay of public business, last
night being one OF the regular meeting
nights, was that no agreement had been
reached in regard to the library board ana
the purchase OF a site. After a conference
with the mayor the members OF the coun-
Gil agreed to put the matter on until to-
night, when 1t is expected that appoint
ments satisfactory TO the mayor and coun-
ell will be made. At the close OF the short
session one of the councilmen said that the
whole trouble now was about the purchase
of a site. The power Of the library board
to buy the site had been conceded by the
city attorney and now the council wants to
have a hand in the naming OF the board
AS the mayor has 1t now, seven members
of the board reside north OF n street and
the fight ia between the north and south
sides. What the council seems to want Is
an equal division OF the membership among
the wards in order that the best practical
site may be selected.
At the meeting tonight It Is presumed
that the mayor will make appointments in
accordance with the caucus to be held this
afternoon. II the caucus selections are
agreeable to all Of the members the APP
polntments will go through. Mayor Kelly
is extremely desirous of having the library
building commenced, II such a thing Is
possible. during bis term Of ONCE.
Governor Decides Question.
Governor Savage was in Omaha yester-
day and he stated that as far as the pro-
tests mentioned against the organization
of the cavalry troop in South Omaha were
concerned he would not at this time pay
any attention to them. The governor
further said that the state was entitled to
one troop and that South Omaha was par:
ticularly fitted for a troop to perform
escort duty by reason Of so many Of the
members being almost constantly in the
saddle and owning horses Of their own. Nc
date has been set for the muster OF the
troop, but It Is understood that It will bt
sometime within the next few days.

Sum 10 Be Spent in Improve
Inents on B. & 0. System.

| Chicago, Jan. I0-Improvcments 10 be
made on the Baltimore & Ohio system
during 1909. viii cost fully Sjo,OOo,OOO, ac-
1 cording 10 a statement made today. A
large portion OF this sum is TO DE expend-
ad on the lines west OF Pittsburg
! This large sum OF money was determine
ed upon after careful inspection OF the
system by President Loree and stan fol-
lowed by detailed estimate by the engi-
,neering and operating staffs of what the
system needs TO place IL in perfect physi-
| cal condition.
Accordingly IL Is announced that Presi-
! dent Lorees budget for the current year
fixes the total sum for betterments to the
system at the figure mentioned above.
Less than two years ago the Baltimore ~
| OHIO management began the physical re-
generation of the system by appropriate
| ing or determining 10 spend So, 600 900 for
betterments. AT that time the sum was
almost unprecedented in connection with
road betterments for one year. Later it
found that the work contemplated could
not be done for the sum mentioned and
the appropriation was increased 20 SO,
000, 900 Later another $40. .oOO, 900 was raised

ur 10 s50,0oo.00o. The acquisition OF new

hae made IL advisable 10 appropriate an
equal sum for improvements bringing the
grand total for the system within two
years 20 800. 100000.
Ia considering the matter of improve
ments the Record Herald assumes that
the Pennsylvania management is back Of
the latest move for the Baltimore Il Onio
! system. The Pennsylvania' budget re-
| Gently made up contemplates an expendi-
| ture for betterments and new terminals
| Of nearly 100000 900. so that the Pcnnsyl-
vania interests have I'm reality decided
that the total of about s20l 900 will put
| into good condition the two systems
which comprise their main properties.
~ Is asserted that n considerable por-
ton OF the sum recently determined up
on for the Baltimore & Ohio will be spent
