Union Pacific Surveyors.
About a dozen surveyors in the employ
of the Union Pacific are camped at Sey-
mour lake and will remain in this neigh
| borhood for some days yet. This party
| Is surveying an air line from street and
| the boulevard TO Fremont. The work
| started several days ago from the point
where the Burlington bridge crosses the
Union Pacific tracks at C street and is be.
| ing run In as straight a line as possible.
when completed the line will leave the city
limits at about Forty-eighth and Q streets
and thence to Fremont.
| BY building this air line from South
| Omaha limits on the north direct to FIRE.
mont the distance will be shortened be-
tween nine and ten miles. The report here
is that only fast trains over the Union
i Will use this cut on
For q couple OF years It was supposed
here that the Union Pacific would use the
/ new line being constructed by the North
western. This line started at nearly, the
same point the new line has been started
| and for two years nearly work has been
kept up. Rumor has It that some differ
ences of opinion exist between the Union
Pacific and the Northwestern people, hence
the new Union Pacific survey. The en-
Rineers in charge of the party decline to
| talk about their business and especially for
| publication.
Few Repairs Needed.
Mayor Koutsky and City Engineer Beal
made a tour of inspection yesterday to
| ascertain what damage had been done by
| the heavy rain of Sunday night. To the
surprise OF both oficials very few wash
outs were found. 1.-The streets are hold
ing much better this spring than ever be-
fore" said the mayor. 81 attribute this
TO the thorough going over the engineer
gave all of the streets last fall before cold
weather set In. What work was needed
was we'll done. The thorough repairs made
in the fail have saved the city several
hundred dollars this spring. 1t will take
but little work to NIL the few washouts
and the entire cost win hardly exceed 800"
Police hoard Meeting.
Considerable interest is being manifest in
the meeting tonight Of the Fire and Police
board. Rumors OF all kinds were rife yes
terday, but no one appeared TO have any
authority for statements made. Some SAID
that the fre department was TO have a
general overhauling while others asserted
with equal confidence that an order was
to be issued closing the saloons on Sunday.
At any rate those IN the employ OF the
board are kept on the ragged edge waitins
to see what will develop next.

There seems to be general desire for
the calling OF a meeting for the purpose
of reviving the South Omaha Commercial

ance. F. ]. Freitag. the last president OF
the organization, Is reported as saying that
he would issue a call for a meeting soon,
with the request that all of the former
members and all those interested in the
welfare OF the city attend and assist in
| the reorganization.

The recent heavy rains have done con-
! siderable damage TO the excavation made
some time ago for the Carnegie library.
The walls are rapidly being washed away
: and the holes dug for the stone pier sup
ports are filled with mud and water. Quite
| a sum will have TO be expended 10 repair
| the damage when the work of construction
commences. Officers OF the library board
! stated yesterday that they had no idea
when work would commence. There Is
money on hand 10 proceed. but for some
| reason the contractor has been holding
back for over two months.
Last Nights storm.
The heavy rain last night appeared tc
be worse than any of the preceding storms
On n street the water ran curb high eleal
| across the street. While the sewers stooC
the strain well, IL was feared that som,
