Stored for the Present

Difficulty OF vehicle Travel on sub
merged Roads and Unpaved Streets
IL waking Up Sentiment
for Paving.

The twelve voting machines for South
Omaha arrived in Omaha Wednesday.
These machines were shipped in care Of
City Clerk Blbourn Of Omaha, who notified
City Clerk Gillin. Today Clerk Gillin and
President Adkins Of the council will 20 to
Omaha with teams and bring the machines
down here. For the time being the voting
machines will be stored in the police court
room. 1t is the intention Of the city au-
thorities to place at least one machine on
exhibition in order that voters may be-
come acquainted with the use of them be-
fore the November election.
Voters are appearing to be greatly re-
lieved over the settlement Of the question
Of registration and the setting Of dates for
the holding OF registration.
Printed forms have been prepared for
members Of the Board Of Registrars. Those
who have been appointed on this board ars
required to appear before the mayor within
five days after receiving notice Of their
appointment and take an examination.
When the examination is completed the
oath is administered and duly signed. The
notice Of appointment and the oath are
on one page and the document is in such
shape that Il can be properly folded and
fled away.
While places for the holding Of the pri-
maries and registration have been an
nounced, the list will most likely be re-
vised before September 1s, and so there is
no necessity at this time Of printing tho
list which was prepared some time ago.
Within few days the mayor and clerk
will make a tour Of the city and arrange
for the registration booths The voting
machines will not be used at the primaries
Mud Makes Hauling Hard.
All of the unpaved streets in South Omaha
are deep In mud and 1t is with great diff
Guilty that teams can get through. Milk
men find It hard to get over the country
roads into the city and conditions are not
any better of the pavement in town. Coal
wagon drivers find It Rwfully hard to get
around with loads and while the coal yards
are rushed with orders the delivery Is ex-
ceedingly slow. On account of the many
and deep holes in the Twenty street
pavement teaming is almost as hard as on
unpaved streets. A city official said last
night that those who are opposed to the
paving OF Twenty-fourth street ought to
take ride over 1t and thus become aware
of the exact condition Of the road.
Lighting Trouble Located.
In explaining the darkness OF the city on
Tuesday night an official of the electric
light company said that the trouble was
caused by the breaking of wires CARRYING
the current. The wires commenced break
Ing Tuesday forenoon and the incandescent
lights ali over the city were shut of all
day. Almost as soon as one break was re-
paired another one occurred. These numer-
Gus breaks kept a gang of linemen at work
ali day Tuesday and far into the night.
Sufficient repairs were made Wednesday to
supply current for the city last night.
