City Omcials Sore.
A number of city officials are showing
sore spots on account of the paving of
Twenty-fourth street with brick being
blocked by a remonstrance. When the
remonstrance was filed it was hoped that
flaws enough would be discovered to de-
clare the petition invalid, but it looks now
as If this cannot be done. Mayor Koutsky,
along with other city officials is reported
at the city hall as having gone on record
saying that not a penny will be put
in on repairs to the pavement Until re-
Gently the street gang used to haul load
of broken stone to the street and dump
into holes. This is to be stopped and the
people who use the street are to be pun
ished for having signed the remonstrance.
On the other hand, the demonstrators
assert that they will demand of the mayor
and council that steps be taken to repair
the street as soon as the 1906 levy is avail
able. If this is not done the demonstrators
threaten to take steps to tie up the street
repair funds so that no improvements or
repairs in any part of the city can be
made. with every day comes something
new in this paving fight and even the best
informed city officials do not seem to know
where they ARE at"
Updike Elevator Motors.
The Omaha Electric Light and Power
company is installing motors at the new
Updike grain elevator which is located at
point about 100 feet north Of the l.
street viaduct on stock yards property.
These motors call for $50 horsepower and
practically one floor will be given up in the
elevator building for these motors.
Of these motors will come direct from
Omaha through a station at Shelly. There
is some little delay in receiving heavy
cables for these motors, but the electric
light company figures that it will be ready
with its motors as soon as the elevator
is completed and ready for business. Sep
TENDER 1 is the date set for the opening
of the elevator. .ar

DELINQUENT Personal Taxes.
e. e. Ridgeway, personal tax collector
In the employ of City Treasurer Howe,
has filed report showing the amount of
personal taxes he has collected from de-
linquents. Commencing with the year 1889
and ending with 1904 Mr.. Ridgway has col
lected $l2 239. OF this sum $1O,44 is for
taxes and the balance is on account of ac-
cumulated interest. The above amount
does not include any corporation taxes
During the time Ridgeway has been at
work his compensation from the city has
amounted to 1926.
Even Police Court Dull.
Everything is so quiet In South Omaha
these days that hardly an arrest has been
recorded in two days Judge King left
for his home at noon yesterday on account
of there being nothing to keep him on the
bench. No effort was made by the local
police to locate the holdups who were re-
ported to having robbed the saloon at
Thirty second and B streets Tuesday night.
Wants Fire Hall Moved.
Dworak of the city council appears to
want the fire hall in Brown park moved to
| some other location. The city now has a
| lease on the ground at the nominal rental
OF S25 a year. This lease expires in Sep
! TENDER Mr.. Dworak seems TO think that
| the present location is not suitable for
| a fire house and he wants the city to go
| to the expense of buying a lot and moving
| the building. AS the fire hall stands now
! 1t is an uphill run for the team no matter
where the alarm comes from, but the ques-
ton is, has the city the money to spare
| to buy a lot. At the time the lot was
| leased there was objection to It on account
/ OF the heavy grades, but A. r. Kelly, who
was then mayor. insisted and the lease
was made. II funds can be found available
the chances are that Dworak will have his
way and that a piece Of property will be
purchased by the city for the fire depart
