Economy Causes Comment
FOR some time past the city council has
been trying TO save money on printing
bills by passing ordinances and filing the
same away without causing them to be
published. All of the ordinances vacating
streets and alleys for railroad purposes
passed OF late have not been published
and for this reason a large number Of peo-
pie have become impressed with the idea
that the mayor and council are trying to
hide something. Such is not the case, pub
LEGATION having been omitted purely for the
purpose OF saving printing bills. CITY At
torney Lambert and Councilman Hiewit got
It into their heads that too much money
was spent on giving public notice Of the
passage of ordinances. Now that there has
been so much adverse comment IN what
has been termed the dark lantern methods
Of the council. more ordinances in which
the people are interested in are TO be
printed. ....
Tracks for letter Brewery.
II is asserted i'm railroad circles that
there Is a possibility OF railroad tracks
being laid TO connect with the letter
brewery. This matter has been up num-
Der OF times but has been blocked by pro-
tests of certain property owners Now, II
IL asserted. the Rock Island road will go
ahead and put down the rails. Some time
ago the Rock Island laid a track to the
southwest line of the Swift property but
have fha In he
line the only property owners interested
are Swift. the Rock Island. the Milwaukee
John j. Ryan and BaIthas letter Rumor
has II that the immediate construction Of a
viaduct from Z TO Y street by the Union
Pacific has had something to do with the
revival of the letter track by the Rock
Island road.
Publishing Transfer Ordinance.
Since Councilman Kiewit insisted that
the city attorney take up the street car
transfer ordinance passed last July tho
document was taken from the files anC
read by the attorney. The discovery wal
made that the ordinance had never beer
published and having a penalty attached
was worthless Unless published I'm the Off
cial paper of the city. Last evening til,
ordinance appeared in the oficial paper
1t appears that Councilman Kiewit Ia,
insisted that the printing bills be cut dowr
and out OF the last thirty-six ordinance.
passed only ten have been published. II
: the street car transfer ordinance provision
is made for publishing the same but som,
one erased the word publish after the or
dinance had been passed. therefore making
1t void. An attempt will soon be made nov
to enforce the ordinance. Mr.. Kiewit wants
70 get fifteen or twenty citizens to rid,
at different times and request transfer
where the ordinance compels the same L
be given, in case of refusal then suit is I,
