If the county board intends to re-
district the county into commissioner
districts corresponding with the lines
of the new ward boundaries estab-
lished in the city of Omaha, it should
not put on action too long. Ample
notice should be given of the new ar
rangement of the districts whatever it
may be and the district lines should
be drawn so as to make as little change
as possible from present districts,
while at the same time keeping to the
ward boundaries for convenience of
voters. AS the law now stands the
commissioner districts AFFECT only the
nomination of the commissioners and
not their election inasmuch as the peo-
pie of the whole county vote for COM
missioners from each district. !

Mr.. Dersch. with a voice that quavered.
I'VE don't know why it was done, but there
they are, the ones we loved and saw 90
away for a happy, innocent day Of rest
and simple pleasure. The most innocent
and the best found themselves with only
the choice Of drowning or burning to death.
I'VE have had no redress: nothing has
been done as yet to make those who robbed
us OF our beloved ones to pay for that rob-
bling. But feel sure that as there is a
God and a Redeemer in heaven their pun
ishment will come TO them"
Mr.. Dersch pointed out that despite the
fact that some Of the bereaved ones had
lost their minds some had committed sui
eide, and others had died before their time
because OF their sorrow. the organization
would not let the day OF the disaster be

BRIDGE COMMISSIONERS MEET AGAIN.
Mr. Hawkes. Finds 1t Hard to Get Engineer
Three Structures Suggested.

The North River Bridge Commissioners met az
the office OF McDougall Hawkes. yesterday after
noon and cleared up a little more of the routine
work which will have be done before the project
for joining New Jersey and New York by a bridge
can assume any practical form. The chief cause
for delay at present is the slovness of the engi-
neers Of the New Jersey railroads and trolley lines
in consulting with Mr.. Hawkes. and the members
Of the commission. Moreover Mr. Hawkes. is find
ing hard 10 get the kind OF consulting engineer
gated 10 him DIT the last meeting of the commits
sion. and the difficulty IS to fnd a man who has
sufTlcient knowledge of the conditions of bridge
engineering and traffic conditions in New Jersey to
be of service 10 the commission, and at the same
time has no connection with the corporations con-
cerned.
Much Of the time Of the commission at the last
Few meetings has been taken up in listening TO the
numerous plans suggested by municipalities and

day Mr. Riggs, OF Grantwood. who said he was the
editor of a newspaper on the Palisades, and also
represented the Grantwood property holders ap-
i29th street. He does not believe the commission
is likely to favor that site and so he presented
a plan calling for no less than three bridges one
at l29tn street another at Cortlandt street and
another to connect Bergen Point with Staten ISL
and.
The commission adjourned subject 10 the call OF
the chair. and Mr.. Hawkes. said that he would not
call another meeting until the meetings with the
