NIPPLE WANTS PRESSURE TEST
water Board Has Resolution Asking
Mayor to Ascertain EIpediency
of Fire Protection.

What Member Nipple thinks may be the
first step towards reducing the old hydrant
rental rates, established when the water
works system was first built was taken
by the Water board last night at the regu-
lar monthly meeting. The move was in the
nature of a resolution drawn by Member
Nipple asking the city to test the water
pressure, and reads
Resolved, BY the Water board of the city
of Omaha, that the mayor Of the city be
requested to instruct the city engineer to
have tests made to ascertain whether the
Omaha Water company is furnishing water
for fire protection through the MIGRANTS of
said company under the pressure provided
for in ordinance No, 400 of the city of
Omaha, and the contract of the city with
said company.
IT am aware" said Dr. Nipple, in a talk
to the board. that the city once tried to
disenfranchise the water company by show
ing it's pressure not up to contract, and did
establish this fact. but lost its case, never
theless, in the federal court The contract
requires the company to furnish fire pro-
lection. sufficient to successfully combat
fire without the aid Of engines, within a
radius of 1000 feet from each hydrant. l
contend that II the pressure necessary to
do this is not furnished the city ought not
tO be compelled to pay the old $S4 and $50
rates for MIGRANTS. In other words, If the
city is not getting what the contract calls
for It should not have to pay the prices
the contract calls for. am satisfied that
the specified service is not given Hydrants
that may have been at one time equal to II
are now devitalized by the supplying of
numerous patrons from the mains running
to Them the result being that some are
good only for a radius of 800 feet and some
less than that. This being the case, and the
water company deriving the additional rev.
enue from the private consumers this very
act lessening the efficiency of the fire pro-
lection, 1 see no reason why there is not
equity in cutting the hydrant rents, despite
the contract.
ITO establish and prove my statements
1 am anxious that tests be made"
No other business Of interest was trans
acted at the meeting.

Action Brought to Recover Money
from saloon Keeper and
His BOndsmen.

On behalf of Rosa Rezek and three minor
children, Messrs. Smyth & Smith have
brought suit against the Joseph Schlitz
Brewing company to recover 5000 for the
death of Mrs. Rezeks husband. This is
the case in which Mrs. Rezek recovered
judgment for 5000 against Anton Bazaar, a
saloon keeper, and his two bondsmen, Vac
Blaha and Robert Forkel, all of South
Omaha.
AS told in The Bee Monday. Mr.. Smyth
was unable to get any satisfaction out of
the saloon keeper or his bondsmen when
the sheriff went to levy an execution under
the judgment. He also failed, on examina-
lion before Judge Kennedy, to get a show
ing that they had any property that could
be levied on, The present suit is brought
against the brewing company on the
ground that, working under its instruc-
lions, c. r. w. Nelson, notary, procured
the two bondsmen to sign bonds for $500
each when they were not worth any sum
that could be made to answer for possible
damages and that the same was there
