PROSPECT HILL IMPRovERS
Opening of Streets, Building of

cussed.

Opening Thirtieth street. from Cunning
to Lake, was the chief subject of discus
sion at the meeting of the Prospect Hill
Improvement club last night. The difficulty
in the way Of this work is that part OF
Thirtieth street, between Cunning and Ham.
ilton. A profile OF the proposed street wat
shown. and It was decided to appear be-
fore the council at its next meeting to In
sist upon the opening of the street for its
full length north of Cunning street.
The proposed construction Of a crossing
at Thirty-fourth and Franklin and at 'Thir-
ty-hrst and Thirty-seeond. streets, on Sew
ard, was referred to the crossing commit
tee, headed by John Butler.
A. G.. Edwards, presumptive candidate fol
the council from, the Ninth ward, was pres
emit, and spoke on the subject Of improve
ment clubs and their work. He said he
favored municipal ownership of public
utilities, but said: "I do not care to sag
what would do, except to. say that as q
member of the council / will spend the
city money where 1t will do the most
good"
This brought out several short talks by
members of the club, in which they said
that 1t would be men rather than party
candidates who will receive their votes this
year, and that each man must. show him
self before election.
w. H. Wilbur spoke on the work Of the
club briefly, c~ongratulating the organiza-
ton upon what it has accomplished. He
was followed by John Erickson, J. F. Daily,
M. o. Cunningham and Charles Unit.
A resolution, was introduced looking TO
the change of the meeting night from
wednesday to Tuesday night and a vote on
the question will be taken next week.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the Theaters.

At the orpheum, where. the regular mid

noon. the admixture of vaudeville diver
sions is serving to draw and please good
sized audiences, and there is one feature
in the musical class, which. by the way.
has been prominent this season for FIR
nlshing some really brilliant artists that is
scoring heavily and is deservedly appreci-
ated, and that is Miss Edith Helena, whose
beautiful soprano voice is & treat to hear.
Not only is her work notable for the. ex-
traordinary high range of voice. but It is
also pleasing. and the singing Of such old
favorites as THE Last Rose Of Summer
and Coming Through the Rye" are kindly
received. A sketch entitled "Bill Bifin's
Baby" presented by VIII NJ. Cressey and
Blanch Dayne, is another number that the
audience thoroughly appreciate.

c. J. Greene. for the Burlington. said that
the object Of bringing the action at this

stand as a cloud upon the title OF the prop

not have to make a tender where the
ground for action was a void assessment.

Ben T. White. for the Northwestern,
made the most enlivening talk Of the day
and devoted himself almost entirely to the
points raised by Mr.. Mcintosh. Ne said
that the total taxes paid by three railroads,
the Union Pacific. Burlington and North
western, for municipal purposes in the
state aggregated about &462, 900, and in
sisted that should the legislature permit
the different taxing bodies to levy taxes for
local purposes II must be upon the actual
value of the physical property. taking
into consideration no value of franchise.
The main line" said he, has a value, re-
g~ardless of the terminals, but the terminals
have no value aside from their connection
with the main line"
John n. Baldwin closed the argument,
saying the roads insist that they have
shown their right to the injunction by
showing that the proposed levy would place
a cloud upon their real estate; that this
case failing. there would be a multiplicity
OF suits, both of which grounds, be said,
are sufficient for the issuance of the in
junction. Dramatically, he said: 81 want
to brand as false the statement that any
oficer Of the Union Pacific ever testified
that the terminal property at Omaha was
worth S15 200, 900. Mr.. Bogue said that the
property in Omaha, at South Omaha and at
stations in the county we're worth that, but
never that the property in the city was
worth that much"

In this connection It may be we'll to call
attention again to the statement OF Thomas
Boyd. clerk Of the county tax department,
who said yesterday: THE Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company has not been as
sessed at all this year. The state board
held that 1t should be assessed as local
property, but the commissioner neglected
to DO so. When the commissioner meet
again this coming spring / shall send them
a communication calling their attention to
the oversight"
The Edquist survey, represented in the
hrst table above, was commenced the hrst
day Of last June and, with the compilation
Of the records, has been in progress ever
since. 1t is the first complete record the
county ever has had and covers fourteen
maps a~ggregating in length one-sixteenth
OF a mile. In cities and villages the scale
is 100 feet to the inch, and elsewhere
through the county 400 feet to the inch
T~racings OF nearly all the maps have beer
mad so hat blue prints may be secured
easily. The records show the mileage by
wards. preetncts and school districts. The
approximate cost OF the survey is 81, 900
and OF this expense the city has borne
about one-eighth.

To the Editor: The clouds lowering
about the senatorial caucus have at last
been expelled and the situation has un-
mistakably clarified. Public sentiment
has at last crystalzed itself in an over
whelming demand for Mr.. Watsons nomi-
nation. In this fight as in all those of
the past this man has the people behind
him. The same public opinion that has
carried him within FIVE votes of the
nomination and will next sweep him in.
The time consumed in caucus has not
been lost because it has given time for
the voice OF the people to be heard. The
chaff has been winnowed from the grain
and the situation has become as clear as
day. Every hour increases the force Of
the already overwhelming demand for
Mr.. Watson's nomination, and in that
nomination will next sweep him in.
cause Mr. Watson is the champion OF
the whole people, without section, class
or interest The East is striving with
the West in this great contest and when
the crown of victory is placed upon their
champions brow then will all the people
be satisfied Their debt of gratitude will
be paid and their champion will be in
the great position he is fitted to adorn.
