Three, II not more meetings Of the city
council will be held this week. Tonight,
at the regularly adjourned meeting, or
dinances for the issuing of bonds for an
extension Of the sewer system. for a city
hall and for The overlap will be intro
duced. When the ordinance on city hall
bonds gets to the judiciary committed the
total will be changed from $4,000 to $4,000.
The sewer bonds will call for $50, 1000 and
the overlap $4,000.
These ordinances will be introduced In
the council tonight and referred to the
judiciary committee. An immediate report
will be made and then an adjournment
until Tuesday afternoon will be taken. A {
the meeting Tuesday the ordinances will
be read the second time and then on
Wednesday afternoon there will be another
meeting for the purpose of passing the
three ordinances mentioned. Wednesday
night the council meets TO listen to remon-
strances in liquor license cases.
After the ordinances for the special cleo
ton for bonds are passed and signed by
the mayor a date for the special election
will be set. 1t will be necessary to name
a date for the revision of registration and
this will be done at the same time the date
is named for the election. As there was
no election here this spring there was no
revision OF the registration books. A re-
vision will therefore be necessary in case
a special election is held. This special cleo
ton will cost the city not less than $500.
There is another question TO consider and
that is the voting of bonds for a high
school building. Should the members OF
the Board of Education desire to have the
bond proposition come up at this time It
will be necessary to have the papers pre-
pared at once. In case the high school
proposition is voted on at this time a por-
ton of the expense of the special election
will be paid by the school district.
Some taxpayers are afraid that the prop
osition to issue S255, 900 in bonds will scare
the people but assurance has been given
that these bonds can be foated at ~ per
cent. Heretofore the city has paid 8, 6
and even Z per cent for money. There
seems to be a general impression that the
city should nave some public improve
ments at this time and II is inferred from
street talk that the bond proposition will
carry.
Board Meets Tonight.
A meeting Of the Board of Education Is
scheduled for tonight. The result Of the
mass meeting of Friday night will be COM
municated to the board and 1t is expected
that steps will be taken to secure the
immediate ISSUANCE Of 800, 900 in bonds for
the construction of a suitable high school
building. There was a rumor on the streets
last night to the effect that teachers will
be named tonight, but some members Of
the board inclined to the opinion that the
election of teachers would go over until
the first regular meeting in June. The
new board is expected to pay some bills
- A. - --- A. KILL a. -
rejected. it is reported, Is the bill for $3.50
for planting trees about school buildings.
In a general way, business of Importance
to the school district will be transacted.
Schedule Answer Delayed.
Owing to the absence of e. A. Cudahy in
the south. the packers have not had an
opportunity to meet and talk over the
schedule presented to them a few days ago
by Mr.. Vail. who represents the labor in
terests here. Mr.. Cudahy will not return
before Wednesday night or Thursday morn
ing and It is possible that the answer of
the packers will be held back until the
latter part of the week or the first of
next week. President Donnelly is not push
ing the packers any and the inference is
that an amicable agreement will be ar
rived at, so that the work in the plants
here will go on the same as usual.
Troop May Party.
Tonight at the armory the South Omaha
cavalry troop will give its annual May
party. The armory will be handsomely
decorated with flags and bunting and an
enjoyable evening is expected by those who
have received invitations. There will be
La punch bowl in the reception room and
an exhibition drill will precede the dancing.
