NORTH SIDE IMPRovERS MEET
Several vem In Line OF Ret
terments for That Section
are Set on Foot.

At the meeting Of the North Omaha I'm
provement club Monday evening the initia-
tive was taken In a crusade toward the
Improvement of that portion of the city
through the beautifying Of the property,
streets and public grounds, while Chief OF
Detectives Dunn started a boom toward
Kidding North Omaha of obnoxious weeds.
The club also heard the report OF the ef-
forts of Rev. Henry, who is endeavoring to
prevent the establishment of another sa-
loon or saloons in the Sixth ward. A
good-sized delegation of women was pres
ent at the meeting and an effort will be
made at a later date to establish an aux
Hilary to the club, composed Of the wives
of the members of the club.
Park Commissioner Craig recommended
to the club that the members secure,
through individual or collective efforts,
the Identification OF the streets in that
part Of the city. and urged better care Of
the public property there by the planting OF
shrubs, trees and flowers in the school
house grounds. He also asked for more
light, pure air and comforts in the school
houses. He urged cleanliness and order,
all Of which would tend to cultivate a pub
lie sentiment for better homes and secure
the best development OF the community. In
the general discussion which followed sew
eTdl OI tue WOmeu pTesenI LOOK part ana
urged that the suggestions be adopted.
while the members, as a whole, pledged
their support to the work. A committee
consisting of Mrs. Robinson, w. ]. john
son. Miss Kimball, r.. B. Wallace, Rev. f.
Il. Henry and ]. Y. Craig was appointed
by the president, to report within two
weeks. some methods of procedure which
would accomplish the improvements sug-
gested.
This resolution. offered by W. J. John
son, was adopted:
Resolved, That we ask the present leg
i~slature. In all fairness to 100 900 residents
or Omaha, to repeal the present municipal
tax law and so allow all classes of prop
erty to bear their just share or proportion
OF the municipal burden.
Chief Dunn, in urging the removal Of the
weeds, offered to don a working suit,
swing a scythe or push a lawn mower or
become the president of a moving club as
long as the usual yearly growth Of weeds
remained. The club promised its support
and the chief will become the leader Of
the overall brigade.
Rev. Henry reported that he had been
battling against the breweries who de-
sired to establish saloons in North Omaha
and had secured several hundred names of
residents who protested against the allow
ance Of any licenses which would permit
saloons to be located, there. He said that
the matter had been laid before the fire
and police commissioners for their de.
cision.

second legislature IVES posted in conspicu-
Gus prominence suggestive. TO the uniniti-
ated. Of revolt against all tradition and
the motto OF the state fedcration-"Not TO
Demand Success. but to Deserve It." This
was not the fact. for there was no inten-
tiOn Of revolt. and the roll was posted
merely TO aid the women in the more ex-
pedient exercise Of the privileges" granted
them in lieu of the rights enjoyed b.
men. AS everyone knows, who knows any
thing at all Of the activity OF the organ
lied women of Nebraska, there are at least
four matters that they propose bringing be-
fore the legislature this winter, and chief
among these is a bill to secure more equit-
able property rights for women. The 9TH
ers include a bill for a court for juvenile
offenders, one for an adequate pure food
law and another, not their own. but in
which they will cooperate with the State
Travelling Library commission in a request
for any appropriation Of $4,000, instead Of
$4,000, the sum provided by the last legis-
lature, for the conduct of the commissions

Previous to the consideration of these
matters several other things were disposed
Of, among them a recommendation OF the
membership committee that an effort be
made by members to increase the member
ship Of the club, and that each woman who
has not already done so exercise her privl-
lege Of securing one new member, only
fifty of the members having done so this
year. 1t was further recommended that
some means be devised for reinstating
members who have lspsed, without requir-
ing them to again pay the initiation fee
of 81. and that the club year, for pew
members coming in now, be extended to
include the year of 'O3-'04. As the two last
named recommendations conflict with the
provision OF the bylaws. the matter was
referred to the constitution committee to
be reported on in two weeks.
AS the club is soon to celebrate the tenth
ami ersary of its establishment, two rec
concentrations were made for such a cele-
bration. First, that a banquet be given at
some of the large hotels; and second, that
an informal celebration be held in the club
parlors. to include a program reviewing
briefly the history Of the organization, con-
CALCULATIONS and many other features so
attractive that the house unanimously de-
cided to accept this suggestion.
