COUNCILMEN


Advise Letting of Contract for Eight
Blocks on broadway.
The city council last night as a commit
tee of the whole took up the question Of
paving lower Broadway. although the
members OF the street fair and carnival
committee and the executive committee OF
the Commercial club were not present as
had been anticipated. A communication
was received from V. E. Bender. president
Of the street fair and carnival company.
suggesting that the proposed conference
be postponed until the members Of the
two committees had an opportunity to talk
over among themselves the suggestion OF
contributing the $4,000 left over from last
years carnival towards the paving Of
Broadway. Mr.. Bender in his communica-
ton stated that several of the members
Of the two committees were either out Of
town or sick and they had not had any
opportunity to talk over the proposition.
In the absence of any assurance that the
| city would receive outside assistance. the
| councilmen decided, however, last night to
| recommend to the city council that the
contract for the paving Of the portion Of
| the thoroughfare between Twentieth and
\ Twenty-eighth streets be let at as early
date as possible. 1t Is believed that IL
| this portion of Broadway is paved early
this spring that the means for completing
the paving to the approach Of the motor
bridge will be forthcoming before the end
OF the year.
City Treasurer True, Manager e. W.
Hart of the water works company and n.
A. Searle Of the carnival company were
present and took part in the informal dis
cussion relative to the Broadway paving.
The proposition from G. H Scott to
revise and compile the city ordinances up
to April 1. 1907. was referred back to the
Lefty council.
At the last meeting Of the city council
the Omaha g. Council Bluffs Street Rail-
way company filed its bond to DO electrical
work as required by the ordinance Great
ing the office of city electrician and pro-
viding for the issuance OF licenses for
electrical work. The bond was referred to
the committee Of the whole. as the oues-
ton Of the right Of the street railway
company to engage in commercial cleo
trical work under it's charter was ques-
toned. The committee last night in turn
referred the matter to the city solicitor
to wrestle with and report back at the
meeting Of the city council next Monday
night.
