AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Mayor Undecided What TO Do with
Proposal to Levy Salary Fund.
LOOKING INTO LEGAL FEATURES
Realizes Something Must he Done Co
Get city out OF the Hole Into
Which "a was Dragged by
the Democrats.

No positive assurance has been given
from the mayor that he intends to follow
The advice Of City Attorney Winters and
levy the fund for salaries direct instead
OF apportioning them from the general
fund. as has been the custom heretofore.
The mayor made the statement, however,
that while It seemed that something OF
the kline must be done, yet he would DO
nothing except after careful scrutiny. He
said he would consult a number Of attor-
neys on the point and be positive that
the levy was made strictly in accord with
law. II the result OF the Investigation Of
his attorneys showed that the levy could
not safely be made. nothing OF the kind
would be attempted. Il have too many
griefs now from the I'll advised action
OF the last council to plunge into anything
questionable with my eyes open. We must
have the money from some source or else
tho affairs OF the city will be greatly han
dicapped for want OF funds next year.
II we can safely get out Of the hole the
way the city attorney advises, l shall
advise that course Of action to the extent
required at least"
