GUILD BRINGS GOOD NEWS
Says Omaha Interests Won Many of
Their Propositions at st. Angus
tine Meeting.

Commissioner John NJ Guild Of the Com
mercial club has returned from the meet
ing Of the western classification committee
at ST. Augustine. Fla, expressing salts
faction with general results attained in
matters involving Omahas commercial in
terests
"Of all the changes asked for by our
people" he said, Including even the most
radical, we were fortunate enough to win
out on about % per cent. and OF those TO
which we were opposed 20 per cent were
defeated. We hardly expected some of the
most important things asked for, such as
carlot rating on boots and Shoes hats and
caps and other commodities, which have
heretofore had but one rating in any guam
tity, but we wanted to find out the prob
ability Of securing carload rating in time.
We will present the matter at the next
meeting of the committee.
1.-The cereal, coffee and baking powder
houses lost in their fight for the provision
to allow them to ship their product with
premiums at 10 per cent Of the rate
charged on It without premiums. The rep
resentatives of the western markets were
particularly well organized against this
scheme.
I'VE were successful in defeating perni-
cious mixed carload rating propositions,
which, II allowed, would work immense
hardship on the Missouri river jobber, who
has built up his business on the straight
carload ratings which have prevailed so
far.
1.-The revision OF minimum weights was
discussed and will be brought up again at
the rext session. the Missouri river jobbers
favoring high minimum weights and the
eastern jobbers low fninimums
Uniform classification was touched upon
and 1t will be an issue again No one de-
mics the deslrability of a system of classi-
fication which will do away with the large
number Of classifications applying in diff
ferent sections of the country, but the east
and west cannot agree on a basis. If the
east should get the classification it wants
1t would put our jobbing houses out of
business with mixed carload ratings.
THE next meeting OF the committee will
be held at Frankfort Mich. the third
Tuesday in July"

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Probable Clash of Authority Between City
Council and Perk Boards
BIDS FOR SITES TO Be OPENED TONIGHT
Board Claims Purchase of Land
VIII Not BE Legal without Its
sRnctiOn-Man Badly
Burned.

Some interest attaches 10 the meeting
of the city council tonight. The council
without the formality of consulting with the
members of the Board of Park Commits
siOners, has ordered the city clerk to ad-
Vertise for proposals for park sites. This
has been done and a number of sealed
proposals have been received. These will
be opened at the regular meeting tonight
The members of the park commission will
be present to take note of the proceed
ings. At the last meeting of the park
board it was agreed under their chatter
rights that 1t was within their powers to
disburse all the funds appropriated for
park purposes, including money for the
sites. They therefore agree also that they
have the right to examine and decide on
all bids for park sites and may accept or
reject them without the action Of the coun-
ell. Since from the nature of the sale
of the park bonds to Splitter & Co. OF To-
ledo the money goes into the hands of the
treasurer in the regular way, and since no
such plan carried was proposed by w.
j. Hayes g. Sons, In which the bonds were
to be sold to the owners OF park sites and
later sold to Hayes & Sons, could be eff
fected there is no chance that the money
be paid out except by warrants. Here the
park board declare they will make their
decided objection. They say they have no
objection to the councils advertising for
park sites II they feel so inclined; but
they do say that before a purchase is eff
fected and the money paid over such a
purchase win have to have the sanction Of
the board. 1t is not thought that other
matters OF impor. will occupy the council.
