EnforcInE Building Ordinance.
The city building inspector, Ed Trap,
IS busy these days keeping the ends of his
business even. There is large amount
of building going on and in some cases
there has been difficulty in convincing the
builders that they must comply with the
city ordinances regarding the taking out of
permits to build and Of properly construct
ing their buildings. d. J. Farrell was re-
minded of this fact yesterday afternoon in
the construction of house belonging to
Mrs. Mangan He had failed to take out
the permit and his work was stopped by
the inspector until such had been complied
with. When confronted with the ordinance,
he made haste to take out the proper pa
pers The inspector has condemned several
buildings within the past week. There are
two on South Thirtieth at II street, which
were condemned a week ago. Yesterday
the inspector condemned the brick building
known the Transit house belonging to
McCague, located at Twenty.eishth and M
streets.
Agreement with Bond Buyers.
There was a special meeting of the city
council held last night in the mayors office.
The meeting was held for conference with
the representative of Splitter & Co. rela-
tive to the South Omaha sewer bonds. The
proposition failed of acceptance on
former occasion for the reason the council
mayor and treasurer were not satisfied
that the city made sufficiently secure
by the banking company. Last night the
company agreed to put up a collateral
security of $4,000 in municipal bonds with
the Fourth National bank in New York
City. or the eastern correspondent of the
Packers National bank of this city, as
additional security; besides allowing South
Omaha to keep possession Of it's own bonds
whit he ot,,o1
Splitter & Co. There remains therefor
$4,000 to be placed on deposit with Splitter
& Co. The agent of Splitter & Co. incor-
porated the above proposition in the form
OF contract with the city, and on this
being done resolution was passed making
Splitter and Co. one of the repositories of
the South Omaha funds On the money
deposited they will pay the city per cent
on the balances and will pay accrued in
terest up TO the time the agreement as
originally proposed was entered into The
Fourth National bank, under instructions
from the Packers National. will be the
Judge Of the securities which shall be
placed as collateral, and which shall be
IN It's keeping. It is now thought the
treasurer will have no fault to find with
the proposition. The contract was entered
into under the direction OF the city attor-
ney.
