Mayor Hector stated yesterday afternoon
that the indications were favorable for
the solution OF the Mud creek sewer puz-
zle The Union stock yards Is expected 70
como forward with a proposition by which
the company will secure the much needed
sewer accommodate tons The proposition
Is to advance $4,000 in cash 60 bring the
cash Up TO the contractors figure, which
is about that much above the available
money apportioned to that section Of the
sever system with this advance the con
tractor can go ahead, it Is thought, without
legal opposition. Tho stock yards company
Will in all probability, look to the coming
session OF tho legislature FOR reimburse
m9nt. The anxiety OF the yards in the
matter is not only due 10 the great need
0f the sewers, but the suspended injuuc-
tldn order. which will become effective
again in March OF the coming year There
IS also some activity IN this direction con
ttected with the letter creek sewer The
brewing company will endcavoT TO have
Che sewers extended to accommodate its
pIant. IL is not known whether the CONF
\ pany will advance any money toward this
end.
n is thought that tho injunction issued
on the Pivonka suits will be set aside as
soon as the yards company advances the
stipulated $4,000 The mayor and council
will hail any practical solution OF the dir
nrulty with pleasure.
Old BOnd Presented for Payment.
The recent presentation of an old South
Omaha bond at the fiscal agency at Now
York has recalled the fact that $3.50 OF
The South Omaha obligations have alnost
utterly disappeared The bond presented
was for $50 and OF the issue which IS miss
ing and Is bond No. 10 Of the same. This
Issue should have been taken up long ago
by an Issue of S11OSsO Of refunding bonds
which were purchased by Sptzer & CO.
Splitter & Co. have sent A letter Of inquiry
70 South Omaha concerning the balance Of
the old bonds unredeemed. They wish 10
fuihn their contract with the city and that
amount is supposedly to the credit of the
city in their bank. They offer to place the
money with Kountze Bros. the fiscal
agents, and have this money set aside into
q special fund to meet these old bonds
should they ever be presented. Thus the
terms OF the contract would be fulfilled.
With regard to the bond in question. which
has recently come to light in New York,
the treasurer sent letter yesterday TO
Kountze Bros. and Splitter & Co., showing
that the bond had been entered on the
books as redeemed several years ago. What
the meaning Of its presentation is now, is
as yet unexplained. It is known of the
old issue Of bonds that they were sold
somewhere in the south, but that is about
All that Is known about them.
