School Bonds Sold.

The trustees of the Elko school district
met Saturday evening and opened the
bids for the $4,000 bonds voted by the
district for the erection of new school
buildings. Only two bids were re-.
ceived, one by the Henderson Banking
company of Elko, Offering to take the
bonds at par, and the other by the Trow-
bridge 6 Niven company of Chicago,
who offered premium of 1927, subject
to the approval of their attorneys of
the financial statement and legal
papers. ...
After opening the bids. the board
decided to take them under considera-
ton until Monday evening at Z o'clock
and to invite several citizens to be pres
emit. The board then adjourned.
The trustees met Monday evening
pursuant to adjournment. All the
members and several invited citizens
being present
The bids for the school bonds were
taken up and discussed. 1t was de-
cided that the bonds should be dated
September 1, 1908, and upon John
Henderson, president of the Henderson
Banking company, agreeing to collect
no interest on the bonds from Septem-
Der 1, 1908 to January 1, 1909, the bonds
ware awarded to him.
AS the bonds bear interest at the
rate of per cent the bid of the Hen
derson Banking company really means
premium of $4O0 as that is the amount
of interest on the bonds from September
1, 1908, to January 1, 1909.

MeovERN WILL NOT QUIT
Councilman Determined to Press His
Ordinance which Mayor
Vetoed.

Councilman McGovern is not content that
his ordinance, providing for the laying Of
water. sewer and gas mains in streets
scheduled TO be paved before the paving is
laid, shall be consigned to oblivion, and an
LOUNGES that he will re-introduce the
measure in council meeting next Tuesday
night and try once more to pass 1t.
The ordinance was first passed a week
ago, but the mayor vetoed 1t on the ground
that it would hamper work on the streets
and delay paving. McGovern sought in the
meeting OF the council Tuesday evening to
override the mayors veto, but lacked one
vote. He says Hansen, who was late in
arriving at the ouncil chamber, would have
voted to override the veto had he been
there in time and, banking on the council
man from the First ward being prompt next
Tuesday evening. McGovern feels confident
he can again pass the measure.
The vote in the next meeting Of the coun-
Gil will not be on sustaining or overriding
the veto, but will be on an entirely new
ordinance. II IL passes 1t will have to 60
through the mayors hands, and IL il meets
the same fate Of the first ordinance Nc
Govern says he is ready to make a fourth
fight in the council chamber.
By his ordinance McGovern seeks to save
the cutting Of paving to install underground

In the gas business" said Mr.. Haines.
Il might add that IN no other country in
the world is the price of gas so low as in
the United States when service rendered
is taken into consideration. When we hear
of the cheapness Of gas in England. Scot
land and Germany a comparison of wages
paid for labor reveals the fact that a days
labor in those countries will buy less gas
than in the United States.
Committee On Investigation.
The president recommended that standing
committees be appointed which would have
for their work the investigation of the
branches of the gas business and making
reports to the annual conventions to aid in
the development of the various lines.
Euclid Martin. chairman of the executive
committee of the Commercial club of
Omaha, welcomed the members of the as
sociation in an address in which he told of
the progress of gas manufacturing along
with the cities of the west, beginning with
illumination from candles, and towns
which are little more than Indian villages.
To this address George Mclean of Du-
buqut EcSpOhueus SdJluB tndl lle Bdb men
were glad to come to Omaha, as. they were
interested in the Industries, which were
more highly developed in Omaha than in
any city in the jurisdiction of the Iowa dis
trict. Mr.. Mclean spoke of the many
things which Omaha was doing for the
empire" west of the Mississippi river and
said the National Corn exposition was one
OF the things which Omaha had made pos
sible.
w have always recognized that the
greatness of Omaha was due 10 the excel
lence of the citizenship of the city and the
territory about the city. For many years
we thought no other state in the country
could excel Iowa, but we nave found that
you have excelled us in the citizenship of
Nebraska. and Iowa takes a second place.
Blu We want more rivals like Nebraska in
the effort to reach the highest citizenship;
we want more cities like Omaha"
