south omaha sent a delegation to Lincoln
today to plead to be taken in as a part Of
Omaha by asking the legislature to wipe
out the Imaginary line which for so long
has separated these two cities AS a re-
suit OF the visit of the people from the
smaller town there is feeling that annex

THIS legislature can help bring It about.
The delegation which addressed the
house committee on cities and towns con-
sisted OF Bruce Mccullough John @.
Kelly. William Reed william Reuben, DR..
slabaugh, DR.. Berry, A. l.. Powell and w.
W.. Fisher. Every one Of them tslked for
forceable annexation without leaving the
matter to vote of the people of the two
towns.
In his address Mr.. Fisher made some
happy hits, using the simplest yet at the
same time very effective argument. He
said South Omaha is a city of IS, 900 people,
1t has one hotel of sixteen rooms which
closes at 10 o'clock at night; It has no big
newspaper; practically no trains stop at
fits depot; Il has no theater; no waterworks
of its own; no gas works; no electric light
plant 1t has schools half mile from the
imaginary line between the cities, while
Omaha has two schools within two blocks
Of the line: no fire house north of l. street,
while Omaha has three companies within
two or three blocks of the imaginary line;
II has no adequate fire protection, but de
ponds upon Omaha; It has no college. Mr..
Fisher said while letter has been received
by the committee signed President Nc
Cam" Of the Commercial club, the latter
had no more authority to use that title
than he had to sign himself president of
the defunct business mems organization.
The Commercial club was organized two
years ago, he said, with thirty men pres
ant; at the next meeting there were three
men present and Mccain was not one of
them. The club defunct, he said. The
men asked the legislators to pass a bill
which would permit the present city Of
ficers to serve out their present terms
