LEE HANDS GATHERS A TALK
City Permit Inspector Insists that
Nervous Watchdog of Treasury
Il WrOnB-Headed.

Representative Mike Lee, one OF the two
city inspectors OF permits when asked
what he had to say about the demand Of
John T, Gathers that the permit inspectors
should be discharged In the interest OF
economy, said: Gathers is like most Of
the bogus watchdogs Of the treasury. He
is barking up the wrong tree. The city of
Omaha issued 800 permits to plumbers and
franchised corporations to make cuts in
the streets and alleys of Omaha in the
month Of October. These permits represent
from GOO to 800 cuts, as there are generally
two or three cuts to each permit, and some
times as many as twenty.
''The receipts from the permits amounted
TO nearly twice as much as the salaries OF
the two inspectors, and yet neither of
them has got a dollar from the city ia more
than two months.
1t would be a great accommodation 10
the plumbers and franchised corporations
II they could cut up the streets and put
in any kind Of pipes they wanted and have
no one to look after them. Perhaps John
has been retained by those parties"
