pany to compel the giving Of transfers 20
ordinance was passed providing that the
company must, upon request, give trans
fers all over the city. Monday evening
Councilman Kiewit called up the matter
again and was informed City Attorney
Lambert was too busy in court at present
TO begin action to compel the enforcement
OF the ordinance Mr.. Kievit suggested
that additional assistance be provided for
the city attorneys Office, but the other
members OF the council did not see Ct to 80
TO this expense and so that matter will
most likely drag along until there is a lull
in the business now before the courts
Helping Out Improvement Club.
In compliance with a request from mem
bers of the Highland Park improvement
club the city council has directed the
drafting of a number Of ordinances pro-
viding for the laying of cinder or brick
sidewalks on Twenty-seventh street from
A street as far north as ] street The
club members declare that in many places
there are no walks at all and IN others
the old wooden walks are being torn up
and carried away for kindling. There Is
considerable travel on this street to and
from the stock yards and packing houses
and residents in the northern portion Of
the city are anxious TO have walks laid
before winter weather prevents. Another
thing the club wants, especially in the
northern part OF the city is a uniform
width Of permanent walks. As the ordl-
nance now reads property owners may put
down four. FIVE or six-foot walks, iust as
they please. 1t is for the purpose Of i'm
proving the appearance OF the streets that
a uniform width of walk is desired
Fort Crook Lights.
AS far as the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company Is concerned everything
is ready to turn on the current for the
lighting of Fort Crook. The line TO carry
the current Is completed and extends from
the electric light company's terminal sta
ton at Twenty-third and NJ streets to the
fort. An eastern concern has the con-
tract for wiring the fort buildings and
grounds and this work was to have been
completed by November 1, but the chances
are that II will be December /, before the
lights can be turned on. Two heavy bare
copper wires carry the current from South
Omaha to the fort. This line is we'll con-
structed and the poles have been placed
near enough together to prevent trouble
on the wires during stormy weather. The
garrison at Fort Crook is anxious for the
electric lights to be turned on as lamps
are now used all over the fort.
