Hitch in openina street


It appears that there will be a hitch or
two in the way of opening Twenty-fifth
street from A north to the boulevard Some
time ago number of citizens circulated a
subscription for the purpose of raising
funds to do this grading and also to
buy the street, which was at the time part
OF the property of the Krug Brewing COM
pany The purchase was made and the
grading begun, but now two or more citi-
CONS come on with the statement that their
property has been damage by the proposed
grading. and the claim lie also put forth
that the grade of the street at this point
has never been established. One of the
men is a resident Of South Omaha and
another Is a resident OF Omaha The claims
Of these parties will have to be met in all
probability or an injunction will put a stop
20 the work. The intention was to make
Tweuty-fifth street as far as street a
part of the boulevard. The whole enter
prise is private and the city knows nothing
OF II oficiaIly.
- Division In Police Board.
According to the statements of w. B.
Van SAINT and A. L. Berqulst Of the Board
of Fire and Police commissioners, another
meeting Of the board will be attempted
next Tuesday night These two members
accuse the rest OF the board of refusing
to meet. The division of sentiment has
arisen over the South Omaha Sunday
closing proposition, II is now admitted by
Mr. Van SAINT that he and Mr. Berauist
did meet the, governor in Omaha at the
time Of his last visit. They do not care to
state any OF the results Of this interview.
Mr.. Van SAINT, however, takes issue with a
statement issued In the form OF an order
by G. w Mason, quoted in last Sundays
paper, as follows:
In regard to @. w. Masson's pretended
orders appearing in, last S,indav's Rec,
about the saloons. not closing promptly al
midnight, believe It would appear to the
would appear and attend the board meet
ings TO which he has been time and again
called and transact such business with the
board as a body. This Mason, Nolan and
Nixon have refused to do for the past two
months. This idea OF one or two members
Of the board issuing orders on the side,
has demoraliEed the good effect which the
board once had on the saloons and officers.
