Inquest Postponed.


The special session Of the committee OF
the whole council Wednesday afternoon re-
suited in a compromise Of the difficult
problem OF redistricting the city Ok South
Omaha to make seven wards. In his mat
ter two objects we're sought in the main.
The first was to make the wards as nearly
equal in size as possible and the second
- make them equal in population.
II is likely that the First ward will in
clude all the territory north OF n street
and east Of the alley between Twenty-sec-
ond and Twenty-third streets. The Sec
ond ward will probably include ali the
territory south Of y street and east Of
Twenty-first street. The Third ward com
prises all the territory south Of u street
and west Of T~wenty-first. The Fourth
ward is bounded on the east by Twenty
first, on the north by L, on the west by
the railroad tracks and on the south by
L street. The Fifth ward comprises all
toe territory north Of L street and west Of
Twenty-seventh. The Sixth ward is to
consist Of all territory north OF L street
and between the boundaries Of the First
and the Filth wards. the Seventh ward
contains the packing district west of the
railroad tracks lying between L street and
L street.
Population Not Yet known.
1t remains for the council committee to
examine the sources of Information TO see
whether any great discrepancy In popula-
lion is found in the new territory. The
only means Of estimating at present is
the record Of the tax commissioner and the
school census. Between the two a far
estimate should be easy. In the Fourth
and Seventh wards will be found most of
The floating population and IL is In these
wards that the greatest difficulty in esti-
mating the districts will arise. Care was
taken by the council not to throw any
councilman out of his ward and into a
ward where two Of the present councilmen
would be. This may be taken as an indi-
cation that all the present councilmen
propose to become candidates for ~re-elec-
ton. The only case in the above plan
where a councilman was put out Of his
ward was that of John Hasburgh, mem
Der from the Fourth ward. He will be
shifted to the Seventh ward by the new
arrangement. 1t is thought howeve that
the change will be greatly to his advan-
tage, as he is a resident Of the west side
and the new ward contains no teri tory east
Of the railroad tracks. In times past this
artificial division Of the city has worked
a ~ u BOAAAANNA q aAGOs
The council committee viii probably make
its report on the new wards at the next
meeting and then it will be the duty Of
the city attorney to draft an ordinance
establishing the new boundaries. The
necessary steps will occupy the rest OF
the year in all probability.
TubercuIine Tests in DRiries.
For several days the deputy state veter-
marian has been in South Omaha making
tuberculine tests of dairy COWS. The city
has about thirteen dslrymen whose herds
are kept in and about the limits of the
city. The South Omaha city council re-
Gently passed an ordinance requiring all
dairymen to submit to a test. One or two
Of the dairymen whose COWS were exam
ined came out fortunately; but one dairy
man of the city had every animal OF his
herd condemned. This will be a serious
blow to a man Of small means and will
probably mean that his business will close
down. All the cows which respond to the
tuberculine test will be sent to the pack
ing house for immediate slaughter under
the conditions of government inspection.
