at Ten Miles Per Hour.
HEAVY PENALTY FOR VIOLATION or IT
Ordinance introduced and Read
second Time Requires Permits for
Parties who Make Ezcsvs-
lions In streets.

An ordinance limiting the speed OF rail-
road trains within the city to ten miles
an hour was passed by the city council
last night. The boundaries covered by the
ordinance are Avenue @ on the north and
Nineteenth avenue on the south, except
that i'm order to take in the Woodbury.
avenue crossing on the Great Western. the
south limit is extended to Twenty-sixth
avenue as far west as Fourteenth street.
west to Seventeenth street the southern
boundary Is Sixteenth avenue. The penalty
for violation of the ordinance is a fine
not less than $40 and not exceeding 500.
An ordinance requiring permits TO be
taken out for excavations in the public
streets OF alleys was introduced and read
the first time and then laid over under the
rules. The ordinance provides that a per-
NIT must be taken out for every excava-
tion and for continuous excavation. such
as pipe and conduit work, a permit must
be taken out for each block. The permit
fee is 50 cents. The ordinance also regu-
lates the manner in which excavations
must be refilled and provides that in the
case of paved streets concretd must be
/ used rs the base on which the brick or
stone paving shall he replaced. From the
discussion which followed on the reading
of the ordinance It is likely that several
amendments will be tackled to it before
1t IS passed.
The ordinance providing that the city
| engineer must devote ~ of his time and
that of the men under him exclusively
to the city, which was introduced by
Alderman FINLEY some weeks ago. was
brought up and referred to the judiciary
committee and Alderman FINLEY. '.-
To the same committee referred the
| ordinance designed TO better safeguard
bids on city work or supplies. The ordin-
ance provides that all bids must be securely
sealed and sewn with thread, much in
the same manner as money packages are
| sealed by express companies.
Alderman Younkerman, chairman of the
special committee appointed to wait on the
| motor company with a request that il
! place more cars on the Omaha line during
rush hours, reported that the company
| assured him the service was amply SUM-
cient to meet the demands of the travel
| but that the service was impeded and
, hampered by the long delays at railroad
| crossings. caused by trains blocking the
| street for as much as ten minutes and
more at time. II was decided that the
| ordinance limiting the time which trains
= are permitted TO stand a crossing be
| enforced and the railroads notified.
The application of J. A. Larkin to con-
duct a saloon at 219 South Main street
was referred to Chief of Police Richmond.
The council adjourned to meet next Mon
day night.

transaction involves property valued at
many millions of dollars. No intimation

ests are a number OF properties not now
