Bond Issue All Right.
On the receipt OF the history Of the issue
: Of sewer bonds, which was forwarded last
week. Hayes & Sons sent back a very
large list OF inquiries. covering every de-
tail OF the history. The intent OF these
inquiries was to he positive that there was
no legal discrepancy. Numerous questions
were asked relating to the special cleo
tion at which the bonds were voted. In
qtiry was also made to determine whether
the city had exceeded It's statutory limita-
tons in the issue of bonds. II was found
that the law provided for the issue Of
the entire $4,000. A statement OF the
standing OF the city In the financial world
was sent. and included list OF all the
bonds Issued by South Omaha. With
these we're sent the information desired by
the letters OF inquiry. Yesterday the clerk
received a letter asking for the attested
signature of himself and the mayor that
they may be Autographed on the attached
coupons of the bond issue. This is taken
to mean that there will be no longer any
delay nor hitch in the issue.
Place Wanted to Dump Earth.
During the past week T. j. o'Neill has
= sought to secure q convenient place to
dump the earth which will have to be re-
moved from the city han site. He has
made inquiry to see II II might not be
dumped on East street There has
been no provision for the grading OF this
street and the mayor vetoed the ordinance
which provided for the grading Of that
street through the big fill. He therefore
told Mr. ONeill he could not legally re-
ceive the dirt there nor allow him any
pay for Il, IT,. however Mr. o'Neill could
ct the property owners in that hollow TO
ic sit enough money to pay for the grad
the street. so an ordinance might be
ed for the grading without expense
81, tire city at large. he might talk Of per-
hitting the earth from Twenty-fourth and
o streets to be dumped there, and could
allow him the customary price paid for
good earth.
