TO ABOLISH BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Mr.. Grout Has Plan to Give the Board of
Estimate It's Powers

controller Grout said yesterday that he believed
the powers of the Board of Estimate should be en-
larged and that several of the smaller boards now
in the city government should be abolished. He de-
clared
L would ahC4ish the Board of Aldermen, the Rapid
Transit Commission, the Armory Board, the Board
OF Gty Record in fact all boards except the Board
would give all the powers that scattered
among those other boards. Then the city would
have a responsible head, and would get some
thing done
There should be more borough autonomy The
more local government we have the better for US.
What would you do with the Mayor was
asked Mr.. Grout replied:
He would not be a fgurehead. There is a Gov
ernor for every State in the Union, and yet the
Z! eSident of the United States not hgurehead.
l think it would be good plan to vest all the
powers now enjoyed by the various boards in a
board of directors for the city. This would pract-
cally be the Board of Estimate at present con-
stituted with the addition of four five others
to be elected by the city at large. There could be
meeting of this council every day.

our proposition is introduced, there will be
evidence OF plenty OF money to tight It
from start to finish.
ITO show you that the Nebraska Tele-
phone company intends to night hard, 1
will call your attention to the fact that
they have imported one Of the ablest
speakers there Is in the east to talk the
people out Of their rights. This man Is
from Boston. Yost and Lane are smooth
takers themselves, but they have no
reasonable argument to advance against
competition, so they import a man and
will try to pull the wool over your eyes
with fine oratory, but the people will not
be fooled any longer. What Omaha wants
lower rates, telephone service to South
Omaha free Of toll, and the right TO con-
meet with every Independent phone IN the
country from the Atlantic TO the Pacific.
All Of the above privileges are now denied
to the citizens of Omaha. Omaha has now
$500 business phones in operation, cX-
elusive Of party business phones. This
means S21O.OO a year out OF the pockets
Of the business men above mentioned. When
our system is permitted TO coms In II Sill
mean a saving to the business men Of

AN ENDLESS CHAIN SYSTEM
What the Nebraska Telephone Company is
Working at Present
BELL PEOPLE PUTTING UP HARD FIGHT
A. b. Hunt Explains the Nature of the
Organized Opposition 10 the In
dependent Telephone Com
pany's Franchise.

A. B. Hunt says The endless chain
system is what the Nebraska Telephone
company is trying TO work on the busi-
ness men of Omaha. 1t has every deadhead
or free telephone man out working on the
councilmen urging them TO refuse to sub
NIT the independent phone proposition to
the voters 1t is the intention of the Ne
braska Telephone company TO get as many
Of its friends as 1t can in the Commercial
club into a solid organization and have
them appear before the council in a body
and In this way try to down the proposition
and make 1t appear as the sentiment Of
the business element. With the organiza-
ton solid and the balance of the mem
bers of the club scattering, they hope to
pass a resolution against allowing a new
company 10 come in the field. This infor-
nation has come to US through good, re-
liable business men who have been ap-
preached on the lines above indicated. They
will argue that two phones are nuisance
10 the business man. Two horses might be
a nuisance, but If one is lame or balky
the business man will get a new one.
When the business man gets his new
phone set UP side by side with the anti
quated music box he has been obliged TO
put up with for 10, these many years. he
will say to the Bell company, take out your
old aeolian harp. l do not want II now,
have a phone over which can talk and
be understood
