OUR LETTER BOX
The Do Nothing water Board.

OMAHA, Feb. 9-To the Editor of The
Bee: 1 read with great deal of interest
the report of the proceedings of the Water
board in last evenings Bee. That was a
rice story. and l have no doubt but the
boys enjoyed themselves, but it seems TO
me that 1t is rather an expensive luxury
for the taxpayers.
/ am and have been a taxpayer for many
years and am interested in good govern
ment, and as a taxpayer ! protest against
the Water board or any other department
of the city government holding their meet
ings behind closed doors. Why do they
object to letting the public know what
they are doing? Are they afraid the pub
lie will not approve of their acts, or have
they nothing to do? II they have nothing
to do, why not suspend the board until
such times as the have something to do
/ for one protest emphatically against
star chamber proceedings. II these mer
are doing right publicity will not hurt
them; II they are not, the quicker the peo'
pie find Il out the better

old soldiers S12 per month, which is gener-
Gus.
Now, will give you my views of the way
to treat the old soldiers in the future:
First, do away with all the examining
boards and make a soldiers honorable dis
charge his certificate of disability; at tho
age of Co give him so per month and at
the age OF 20 give him $50 per month to
help keep him out of the poorhouse. BY
doing away with the large body OF pension
examiners and agents, the government will
save enough TO more than overbalancei all
the extra allowance that is Justly due the
old soldiers who marched out under the
star spangled banner, singing this stansa:
The Union-The Union, preserved it must
be, =
The glorious Union of the brave and the
free,
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny
willow tree
Are all growing green in sweet North
America.

ON A TRIP THROUGH GREECE
Many Omnhans Accompany Prof.
Lees ON an Interesting
Excursion.

Prof. j. n. Lees, head of the department
of Greek of the University of Nebraska.
entertained a large audience consisting OF
pupils of the Omaha High school, teachers
of the public schools and their friends, at
the city hall auditorium Friday evening
with a stereopticon visit through Greece.
The entertainment was the first of a lee
ture course, the proceeds of which are to
go to the purchase of stereopticon slides
for the high school.
Prof. Lees has made three trips through
Greece, the last OF which was two years
ago and was made under the auspices OF
the University of Nebraska. for the purpose
of procuring Photographic views of the
cradle OF European civilization, for the
benefit OF the university. About 1000 views
were taken on the trip, many of the most
interesting of which were reproduced on
the screen Friday evening.
The entertainment was opened with a
couple OF musical numbers by the High
School orchestra. The pictures comprised
a trip from Athens about it's historic en-
vironments and the ruins OF the Acropolis
Sparta, Corinth, Olympia and Delphi were
/ also visited in picture. The modern was
shown with the ancient and given added
interest by the graphic story OF their old
and new days.
Prof. Lees stated that the popular inn
preston that the Greek is a dead language
would be quickly dispelled by a visit 20
/ modern Greece. especially Athens and Cor
inth where modern Greek is almost ex-
clusively spoken. The Greeks are eK-
tremely rapid takers. even more so thar
the French. Educational matters are also
in high state OF perfection there. The
Greeks are anxious to learn and tbs
schools are extremely popular and ar,
highly advanced. He said more daily pa
pers are published in Athens than in any
other city of Europe of corresponding
population OF 10000 or more. The Greel
government is constitutional monarch!
and is zealously striving to\restore many o
the old ruins Excavations have been mad
at Corinth. Delphi and Olympia and man,
OF the old masterpieces OF Grecian ar
have been recovered and are being care
fully preserved in the host Of museums Il

SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS.
Langdon Property Owners Putting in Several
Blocks of Cement Walks.

Cement sidewalk laying during the
past week has been interrupted to quite
an extent by heavy rains. The first
walk completed this season surrounds
the Mahon property on Spruce and Sew
enth, also running in front of the Kess
ler residence. Alderman Sullivan has
a fine piece of walk that matches with
and joins that of his next neighbor, W.
F. Winter. The Orton property coner-
ing on Oak and Sixth streets is COM
pletely surrounded with a new cement
sidewalk, which continues across the
alley way to Banker Moneys home,
then running along the west side of
Fifth street, fronting the residences of
G. S. Hunter, A. G. McNiven, Z. CHS
holm aud Mrs. McGruer. Across the
street, work is in progress putting in
walks in front of the Schulke and Truax
homes and the properties owned by
Miss Mooney and the Presbyterian
church. DR.. Donovan and his neigh
bors, A. l. Koehmstedt. D. MCLAUGHLIN
and Mrs. Mcknight have the job let fol-
cement sidewalk that will be carried
along the west side of Fifth street be-
tween Oak and Walnut streets to the
Click corner. Before the summer is
over it is likely that much of the resi-
dence property of Langdon will be
similarly improved. Cement sidewalks
are one of the citys leading improve
ments this summer and we hope to see
a move made to carry it into effect II

tions of the city.
