the additional expense of redeeming their
property TO fall upon themselves. The
treasurer hopes that the knowledge of the

bond Coupons StllI u Mystery.
Word has been received from Kountze
Bros. of New York, the fiscal agents Of
South Omaha asking for a description of
the bond coupons which were found by the
assistant city treasurer last May to be
duplicated. These are each coupon No. l.
bond No. 90, OF the series running from
No. to 70 in denominations of 5000 each.
The treasurer has lately sent letter ask
ing that Kountze Bros. send the cou-
pons which are now matured on three
bonds namely, Nos 10, IA and 10, to South
Omaha. Apparently the owners of the
three bonds IN question have not demanded
payment at the fiscal agency on the 5000
represented by the three bonds. The treas
urer's assistant is of the opinion that there
Is possibly some connection between the
lack OF these coupons and the duplication
OF the others. Should the city pay the
duplicated coupons, considering the dis
crepancy a mis-print, and the three missing

would lose exactly 5000 and interest on the
same. There was no information giving a
solution TO the trouble in the latest COM
munication from Kountze Bros.

/ The presence OF band of surveyors, be-
longing apparently to the Rock Island
railroad. who have been 'at work for the

seventh and Railroad avenue. has aroused
the talk Of spur tracks which were con-
| templated last spring and which were pro-
vided for by one of the last acts OF the
old council, but which act was promptly
vetoed by the Incoming mayor. The pro-
ject has slipped into the background of
late and this is the first indication of a
revival. III such is the case nothing has
been communicated to the engineering de,
partment OF the city. member OF the
party, however. visited the ONCE, asking
for detailed map of the city, and was
referred to the Stock Yards company, who
alone have the maps in supply.
