+ The members Of the Tel Jed Soko Of
three states will meet in South Omaha in
an athletic tournament September /, and
8. The states represented win be Nebraska.
Kansas and California. The athletic con-
tests will be held in the National Turner's
hail at Twenty-first and u streets. These
contests are a great annual event among
the Bohemian people. and preparations Of
an extensive character have been made
for the events and for the entertainment of
the visitors. Some good athletics are as

Conflict of Authority.
Under the present arrangement there is a
conflict between the duties OF the building
inspector and the city engineer. The con-
fiict arises in the granting of plumbing
permits. It is imperative that the city engi.
neer should keep record OF the plumbing
done, as part OF the fled records of the
city. II this record is not kept the engi
neering department will soon become value
less insofar as locating any lateral branche.
| TO the sewers and water mains Is concerned
The city engineer In discussing the situa.
ton, now that the two Offices are separated
said that some plan would have to be de-
vised so that they could get chance Il
make a record of all permits issued witt
the necessary data for his department. H,
did not care so much which department go
the fees; but the record was the important
thing.
