NEW POLICE MANUAL
Changes Required to Meet
New Conditions.
REVOLUTION OF RULES
CORPORATION CoUNSEL'S oPIN-
ION IN LEWIS CASE.
Views of Police Superintendent Re
garding Supervision of Men
Not on Duty.
REVOLUTION OF RULES

The new police manual has been approved
! by the Commissioners and the manuscript
| will be sent to the printer in few days.
| Before this is done, however, it is likely
| that some additions will have to be made
| to the regulations that are to govern the
| members of the force. At the beginning of
| the next fiscal year the harbor patrol boat
| will come directly under the superintendent
| OF police and rules governing the duty of
| the crew will have to be Incorporated in
| the manual Harbormaster Sutton who
I faithfully served the District for more than
a quarter of a century, is to be made lieu
| tenant, and the second officer of the crew
| is to be a sergeant. and it will he neces-
! sary to have rules to suit the new condi-
| tons. 1t is also likely that an effort will
! be made by the Commissioners to change
| the manual in order that the police may
| be under their supervision at times other
! than when they are on active duty.
| This, it is believed, will be done to meet
| the decision of Corporation Counsel Duvall
| III the case of Policeman Lewis. His deci
| sion in that case, in which he held that the
| District Commissioners nor the police trial
| board has jurisdiction in the case of an
| offense committed by member of the po-
| lice force while the latter is off duty, some
/ OF the police officials think, is going to do
| the department serious injury. If the
| views as expressed by the corporation coun-
| sci are accepted by the District Commits
| rules or law it is believed the police Off
! Gals will have some trouble in keeping the
| force up to its present high standard
Charges Against Lewis.
In the Lewis case as heretofore stated,
the officer was convicted of charges of be-
Ing Intoxicated and discharging his revolver
while off duty. The following of the rules
of law as laid down by the corporation
counsel will necessarily cause a complete
change in the jurisdiction the superinten-
| dent of the force has exercised over mem
berss of the department From the time of
| the organization of the police force until
| the opinion was rendered in the Lewis case
| the police officials had supervision over the
members at all times. The police could
not engage in anything that was calculated
to impair their efficiency, whether they
We're on or off duty.
1t was against the rules for them to
frequent drinking places after going off
duty. Drunkenness at any time was con-
sidered sufficient grounds for dismissal.
Many men have been removed from the
| force for alleged violations of the rules
when they were off duty" stated in the
| opinion of the corporation counsel. Should
| his decision hold to be the law regulating
| the force it is stated, many eX-policemen
will seek reinstatement or enter claim for
back pay.

Holds Different View.

Maj Sylvester does not share the opinion
of the corporation counsel. He questions
the correctness of the decision and if he
cannot convince Mr. Duvall and the Com
missioners that a mistake has been made
he may make an effort to have the Police
Court pass upon the question. In order to
get the case before the court he may have
charges of carrying concealed weapons or
discharging firearms in the street preferred
against Policeman Lewis. Upon such
charges it would become necessary to get
an expression of opinion from the court.
1t might also be possible to get the question
before the Court of Appeals in this manner.

nothing about his simple effects to indicate
where he came from. Some literature in

probably was the property OF the younger
man and occupied the room with his master

the following facts may be developed: The
$1,000 population of South Omaha pays only
a tric over one-fifth of the taxes of the
city The corporations and non-residents
pay the rest, or four-fifths. being nearly
Is per cent of the proposed bond issue of
$4,000. after deducting $4,000 which the
stock yards company has agreed to pay
in cash (buying and retiring that amount
of tho bond issue as soon as they are
placed on the markell. is $4,000 This is
the sum total of what the taxpayers of
South Omaha will really have TO pay for
the new sewer system. They have twenty
years In which to do il. II each inhabitant
paid exactly the same share of this ex-
pense II would be $215 apiece II each
taxpayer paid the same amount il would
be, counting one taxpayer for every five
OF the population, 1910 apiece. Paying the
above amounts in yearly payments would
cost each person In the city 1917 cents
annually for twenty years-what it costs
TO ride up town and back. With the same
proportion of l to 8, each taxpayer would
have TO pay 500 cents each year for twenty
years.
According 10 the statement of T J.
O'Neil a well known real estate man of
this city, the advantages of a sewer always
will add TO the value of the property the
cost Of its construction, which will aver
age so possibly. At this rate the tax
payer would get back SO a year for twenty
years at an outlay of 500 cents. Further.
Mr.. O'Neil stated that the rates of prom
erty for rent increase from to 20 per
cent, according TO the location in other
respects; often as much as from s. 10 SO
per month. When South Omaha doubles
in population: as it will in the coming ten
years, the proportion of the outlay will
be reduced to that extent
But when It is considered that the sewer
bonds do not require cash, but simply
interest at 4la per cent ON $3.50, 600 and that
the percentage Of this amount to the tax
payers requires only s2,S9S TO be paid by
them annually, the figures grow rather
small IL is only sOOO9s for each person in
the city-not quite a cent apiece.
