OMAHA, April S.-To the Editor of The
Bee: In your issue Of April "A Sufferer"
voices my own complaint exactly. l too
have "a small lawn and would enjoy hav-
ing few flowers" but it is indeed "out
of the question" AS a rule the poorer the
family, the more dogs and il the rule ap-
plies to communities, ours must be a pau
perized settlement. Dogs, dogs every
where and not a dog is mine, yet it is no
uncommon thing to see seven or eight
bounding over the lawn in a mad pursuit
Of nothing at all. There may be no law
on the statute books prohibiting a man
from Keeping dozen dogs II his taste runs
in that direction but surely the law of
kindness would suggest that his neighbor
has some rights which he ought to respect
l care not how long this question is dis
cussed If only the dogs move out and
make room for the rest OF US.
If we must have dogs, however, let's
buy place in the country where the
brutes will cease from troubling and the
weary be at rest.

CITY Council Not Yet Ready to Put Eros

ORDINANCES ON TOPIC PLACED ON FILE
Committee of whole Listens 60 Pro-
tests from Trustees and Deter
mines 60 Take Another Course
In the Matter.

The city council committee Of the whole
met Monday afternoon and among other
matters considered three ordinances per
tanning to cemeteries. one bearing directly
on Prospect Hill cemetery and two re-
feTring to all cemeteries within three miles
Of the city Of Omaha. The board OF trus-
tees of the Prospect Hin association ap-
peared before the counclmen and in Wig
orous terms protested against the proposed
ordinances insofar as they were directly
aimed at Prospect Hill AS for general
cemetery regulations. there was no opposi-
ton. The result Of the discussion was
that the three ordinances were fled and
it was agreed that three councilmen, city
attorney and three representatives Of the
cemetery associations confer with a view
Of drafting an ordinance to regulate in a
reasonable manner all cemeteries. These
regulations will include such matters as
filing "a plat OF cemeteries and requiring
that a record OF all graves be kept by
cemetery authorities.

Inc one tnlHB lndl particularly uItW lne
fire Of the Prospect Hill people was the
ordinance specifying that no more lots be
sold in Prospect Hill cemetery H. w.
Yates, Judge Wakeley, Judge Doane, Con-
gresham Hitchcock and Rev. John Will
liams spoke against this ordinance, ex-
planning that their association is trying to
raise an endowment fund, which now
amounts to 81, 900, that the cemetery may in
time become wholly self-sustsining, and
that the memory of many or Omahas hon
ored dead might be properly cherished, It
was explained that the association now has
about 200 lots for sale, and to pass the
proposed ordinance would mean that in
the course Of a few years the cemetery
would go to ruin Mr.. Yates said that no
member OF the board had heard any reports
OF irregularities at the cemetery until the
alleged exposures OF a local paper. Judge
Doane advised the council against listen
ing to the yelps OF a yellow journal, and
further declared that the sensation referred
to was gotten up for purely selfish pur-
poses and not for the public interest.
Garbage Matter Considered.
The council committee took up the gar
bage matter by recommending for passage
resolution to direct the city clerk to
| advertise for ten days for bids for the
removal Of garbage according to specifca-
lions drawn by Health Commissioner Con-
nell. This is in line with II. r. l47, signed
last Saturday. 1t is the health commits
! sioners idea to let the contract for re-
moval Of all animal and vegetable refuse
matter without cost to citizens. Council
man Zimman insisted that the specihca-
lions be explicit and that the term gar
bage" be clearly defined. DIR. Connell said
his plan did not contemplate ashes, tin
cans or the like, but merely animal and
vegetable refuse matter. The health COM
missioner will submit another set Of speci-
fications to the council next Monday after
noon.
Upon recommendation of Councilman
Zimman the council took favorable action
on granting 1925 toward expenses OF prop
