BRYAN LOOKS OVER PLANT
Identity Of Expert Hydraulic Engi'

The identity of the expert hydraulic en-
gineer employed by the city council COM
mittee on waterworks, of which n
man Jensen is chairman, is no longer
a secret. His name Is w. II. Bryan and
he is from st. Louis. With the arrival
Of Mr.. Bryan in the city Friday morn
ing the secret was out.
Mr.. Bryan Immediately on his arrival
was taken in charge by Councilman Jen-
sen, who was later Joined by Councilman
Mcmillan, another member of the water
works committee. Councilman Bellinger,
who Is the third member of the commit
tee, has so far been entirely ignored by
his two conferees.
Mr.. Bryan shortly after his arrival was
escorted to the office of City Engineer
Etnyre, where, to the evident chagrin Of
Councilman Jensen, several newspaper
men happened TO be. Failing to secure
an introduction from Mr.. Jensen, the
newspaper men introduced themselves to
the ST. Louis engineer and succeeded In
securing a brief statement from him be-
fore the chairman of the committee hur-
ried Mr.. Bryan off to his private office on
Broadway.

Mr.. Bryan said that he had gone over
the plans for the proposed municipal
waterworks plan drawn by City Engineer
Etnyre and they were very good on the
whole. There are some details which
perhaps might be changed with advantage,
but as a whole the plans seemed TO be
excellent ones. There are some details
which I wish to discuss with Mr.. Etnyre
and for this reason 1 will make an In
spection Of the system. There are some
details, too, where the idea in mind seems
to be somewhat obscured, and before
can quite understand just what is in.

Mr.. Bryan said he stopped in the cit!
one day some time ago prior to his EN-
ployment by the committee and at tina
time had an informal discussion of tn,

the date for "A conference between the
members OF the city council and the Of
ficials of tho Omaha 6 Council Bluffs
Street Railway company on the subject Of
the extension Of the street car service TO
the Iowa ohool for the Deaf.
In connection with this proposed extern
sion. Emmett FINLEY. local attorney for the
street railway company, and r. A. Leussler,
secretary OF the company, left last night for
st. Joseph, where this morning they will
meet Robert Rice, general superintendent
Of the Burlington railroad. the purpose of
the meeting being to reach a settlement as
to crossings over the Burlington tracks.
Progress on the extension to the School
for the Deaf, 1t. is claimed, has been
blocked by the demands of the Burlington
management that the street railway COM
pany put in an overhead crossing. or no
crossing at all. The street railway people
contend that an overhead crossing, owing
10 the level character OF the land, would
be impractieable. They desire to put in a
grade crossing with an interlocking device
which, they contend, would insure perfect
safety at the crossing.
