a week ago will make a report on the prop-
osition to vacate a portion eE Thirty-sixtb
street for the benefit Of the Burlinoton
road. As the proposition appears to come
IN good faith, the COMPANY agreeing 10
give the city a VALUABLE tract of land in
return. 1t is expected that the appraisers
will make a return in accordance with
existing conditions.
AT the present tine the Burlington and
the Union Stock Y Ards company are spepd-
ing much money In grading for tracks and
for the extensi IN Of cattle pens in the
western part Of the yards. Those who have
looked over tire ground assert that the i'm
provements Icing made and the ground Of
fered in return will more than Offset the
loss Of q portion of Thirty-sixth street,
whicS Is really q line on the map. The
mayor AND council are willing to advance
the, interests Of the city inasmuch as II will
olfng to the city an increase in popula-
ton as well as a large amount to be spent
In improvements both by the Burlington
and the stock yards company.
The three damage cases recently fled
doubtless will be brought up and referred
to the city attorney. AS all OF the cases
have been filed after the usual twenty days
limit allowed by law, 1t is not thought
that the city attorney will pay any atten-
tion to the communications
A number Of petitions for improvements
Will, it was stated yesterday. be brought
up, as It seems that South Omaha people
are anxious to secure improvements in all
parts of the city. There is a demand for
more street lights, more water mains and
more paving. AS the demand seems TO
be coming from all sections of the city 1t
is thought that there will be much business

during the present year.
City Council Has the Say.
At the present time the city council has
the say as to whether the stock inspector
ordinance should be passed or not. This
ordinance has been drafted by City Attor-
ney Murdoch and If the council desires a
meat inspector it must pas the ordinance.
The mayor says he is willing to appoint
an inspector provided the ordinance is
passed. Report has it that the mayor will
refuse to appoint Clark Howard and for
this reason, so 1t is asserted, the council
Is holding back the ordinance. The mayor
says that he is ready and willing to ap-
point a competent stock inspector any time,
but that he will not submit to the dicta-
ton OF certain parties. The mayor has
in mind for tho position an experienced
meat man who has had years OF experience
in the work and is a taxpayer here. This
man, the mayor says, will make an in
spection that means business and will not
pass sour coolers by whom an order should
Do Issued to clean up.
Closes Club Rooms.
For some time past club rooms have
been running in the basement OF the
Pivonka block, Twenty-sixth and N streets.
These rooms were conducted by colored
men and as long as order was maintained
there was no interference from the police.
Saturday night there was a dance at the
club rooms and jealousy started a fight,
which resulted in the firing Of several
shots by one member of the club. Thu
dance broke 'up and the lights were GU
before the police arrived. Yesterday q
game of pitch was going on, when there
was another fight. AS soon as Chief Briggs
heard Of the second affair he started down
to notify the club members that theiI
performances would not be tolerated, anC
that the club would have to close it,
doors. Frank Pivonka. proprietor of the
building. was of the same mind and or
dered the club to yacate.
