RED TAPE RETARDS PAVING
Excess of Formality in City Charter Delays
Employment Of Men.
MAYOR LOOKS FOR WAY OUT OF DILEMMA
Says Abortion Called Charter IL
Not Going to Prevent the
City from Repair
ing Streets.

Difficulty in employing and retaining men
for work on asphalt street repairs has been
met by city officers, and from the mayor
down through the legal and engineering de-
partments an effort is being made to find
some way to hire men without the red tape
of appointment, confirmation by the council
and approval by the mayor
With private paving contractors working
on various jobs the demand for experienced
asphalt hands in the city is large and under
the conditions the engineering department
has found it almost impossible to keep the
street gangs up TO full quota. Under the
confirmation scheme it is necessary for an
idle raxer, tamper or laborer to wait from
two to seven days from the time he is en-
ployed by the city engineer until he can go
to work. With the present demand for
workmen OF this class he does not walt but
gets jog elsewhere. When the formalities
have been observed by the city officers no
workman is to be had.
Mayor Not to He Daunted.
Mayor Moores called conference of de-
partment heads Monday morning and in
structed Assistant City Attorney Herdmar
TO read the laws carefully and see II, under
the emergency clause, men badly needed
could not be hired as fast as they pre-
sented themselves and put to work imme-
diately, letting the confirmation come after
wards. AS this point is the principal one
in the Gathers suit against city officials
to recover $4,000 paid to street laborers,
the city officers want to go slow. The
mayor said:
Notwithstanding the absurdities in this
abortion called a charter we propose to
keep right on repairing our streets. II 1t
is necessary to get men to work ] shall
call special meeting of the council every
morning and evening to do the conflrma-
tion act. With all the paving going on in
the city II is a hard matter TO hold the
men, and when new ones apply for jobs
they must be put to work at once II they
are not, they Will not stand for the loss
of money and will be working some place
| else, when we have complied with the law
| and can hire them. 1t Is ridiculous that q
city government should be held up. jam
| pered and embarrassed in this way"
Assistant City Attorney Herdman says
! he thinks, II tested the city will be found
| to have the right to hire such men as II
needs and put them TO work Immediately
in the name of necessity, despite the ap.
parent barriers in the charter. He has not
yet formulated a definite opinion, how,

Episode-Last seen Fri
day Evening.
'LOoOHOUNOs USED IN SEARCH OF HIM

]. r. Andrews. n prominent attorney,
with an office in the New York Life
building has been missing from his home
at aa Hawthorne avenue since Friday and
his relatives and friends fear he has met
with fatal accident.
Mrs. Andrews, president OF "e Omaha
Woman's club. Is greatly distressed over
the absence Of her husband and said Mon
day morning friends had made a thorough
search for the missing man in the neighbor-
hood Of Cedar creek, but no trace of him
could be found. Mrs. Andrews fears her
husband has been accidentally shot or
drowned
For two years Mr.. Andrews has been in
terehted in the gravel pit at Ashland and
1t has been his habit to make frequent
visits there to look after his property.
Harry Bronze, who has returned from
searching for Andrews. said:
Friday afternoon Mr.. Andrews went to
Cedar Creek, where he and H. p. Hedges
OF South Omaha have a gravel pit They
went 10 the house at the pit occupied by
Mr.. Bush and his wife, expecting to stay
all night. Mrs. Bush received telegram
to come to Omaha and asked Mr.. Andrews
for some money. He paid her with a check
and said he had about s. with him in cash,
II she needed any Of that she could have II.
After supper Mr. Andrews put on some old
clothes, which he kept at the Bush house
and which he wore on hunting expeditions
and, taking his %. caliber rife, walked down
the track. Nothing was thought of his
not returning until It was late, and then
Hedges and Bush were not worried, for
Mr. Andrews often went to the home Of
Mr.. Davis, about half mile down the
track. and stayed late, and once this spring
stayed all night"
Harry Bronze was called from Omaha
Saturday and bloodhounds were secured
and all OF the neighbors have joined in the
search. but not a trace of the missing man
has been found.
Mr.. Bronze says Mr.. Andrews was in the
best OF spirits when he left the Bush house
and that he cannot conceive OF him becom-
Ing demented so suddenly. He must have
wandered away, and this seems improbable,
because every avenue leading from Cedar
Creek has been searched and the large
Iosso OF nelghbors has thoroughly searched
the neighborhood and all of the bushes
