The Bond Question.
SOUTH OMAHA, Nov. ITO the Editor
Of The Bee: Home owners and taxpayers
he rfs...
day of plastering their homes and other
property with another stupendous mortgage
of a quarter of a million of dollars or can
vote no and reject the unwarranted and I'M
just bond proposition. 1, myself, have
usually been classed as a corporation sym
pathizer. and am a friend to the corpora
tons today. 1 believe in the proper concen-
tration of capital to promote and carry on
the great enterprises and industries of this
strenuous and progressive age, and yet /
never saw the time when these useful and
lawfully organized bodies were willing to
meet the pleblans and the public half way
where the question of taxation was an
issue.
1t is generally conceded that a practical
sewerage system is needed in South Omaha,
but the Intelligent conscientious citizens
should know that what is supposed to be a
valid contract with the Stock Yards COM
pany was entered into away back in 1888
and is now on file in the city clerks office
wherein that company agreed TO build and
maintain a main sewer to convey the offal
originating in the yards and packing houses
to a suitable place of deposit.
The district court i'm May last I might
say. indirectly recognized the lawfulness
of said contract by ordering the Stock
Yards company to abate the nuisance anC
\ the nauseating smell arising from the flow
Of Stink creek, as 1t is usually called before
April, 1906, l am informed this order was
promulgated by the court in the suit OF
! Guy c. Barton against the Stock Yards
| company and the city of South Omaha.
The city council has agreed by resolu
| ton to separate the $4,000 and appropri
ate few thousands towards the laying o.
sewer mains in the various sewer districts
What assurance have citizens that thi
pledge would be fulfilled? They could. an,
probably would, rescind the resolution a
any time, especially If it became necessar!
to use more than $4,000 to construct tn
main sewer And why should our people b,
taxed at all to erect this main sewer whel
the Stock Yards company is obligated un
der the law to build and maintain It?
