most important Of the improvements win
be the erection Of a $4,000 oleo and animal
fat department. This Ia to be located just
north Of the present oleo department. 1t
will, in fact, be an enlargement OF this
building.
Further additions have been made to the
soap department, and especially to the
manufacturing facilities for the cleansing
compound. This will add nearly half to
the former capacity, They are now able
to turn out $1,000 pounds daily.
The company has been engaged for over
a year in putting in cement floors in vari-
Gus departments. 1t is announced that this
kind Of fireproof and sanitary floor will be
constructed throughout the entire plant.
Speaking Of the market conditions. NJ.
Murphy said: Il am much g~ratified to an
nOunce that IN spite of the fact OF recent
close times and the usual drawbacks Of a
presidential year, we have received advance
orders for beef products far in excess Of
our ability to fill them. We expected a
fair development with this season, but
the demand has forced us into the mar
ket locally. This partly explains the high
prices paid locally for beef cattle of
quality"

Some Problems for city.
The city government has several problems
to contend with just at present. The fl
nances are the chief items. Yesterday the
city treasurer submitted his estimate Of
the amount Of the interest levy for the
e~rIsuing year. He found that II would cost
the city 81 ,00S.16 to meet these obligations.
This is the largest by considerable in the
history of the city. This item also includes
maturing obligations. In order to raise this
amount the council will have to make a
levy of 3S mills. The limit is 3.5 mills.
This means that no more bonds or very few
more may be issued until there 10 some
modification of the charter. The bonded
debt OF South omaha is now nearly $780,
90. The present administration propose to
live within the terms of the city charter.
Architect John Laterser is indignant with
the council for its action on the city Jail.
The council at its last meeting proposed
to settle with the Champion Iron works on
consideration that 1t pay half of the re.
pairs, but receive the balance due. It
claims that the city owes 81, 800 iy round
numbers. The architect says not. He puts
the figures at slightly over 1890. The
Champion Iron works accounts for the
difference on the ground that certain
changes were ordered and that above 500
is due for extras. Mr.. Latenser proposes
to open the whole controversy again II
possible. He says he gave permission fol
no extras.
OF more import Still is the fac
that the previous administration con.
templated an expense of about S72.OGO, will
a fund of only 5000 with which to pay It
The city hall fund at present shows {
deficit of 5000. In addition to this thi
notifications proposed, and in progress
for the jail will cost another 5000. The
furniture contracts, the vault fixtures anc
similar expense will cost nearly $4,000 un
LEES the present administration pays no at
]tention to the awards of the previous ad
= ministratlon. So a total deficit Of the dem
ocro administration on the city hall will
be about 5000.
