Intended to Permit Omaha Dealers
to Sell in the City.
ONLY TWO VOTES FOR. MEASURE
Paving Of Madison Avenue
Ont by Tacking Another PrOpO-
sitIon Onto IL which Is
Not Favored,

Councilman Jensen's amendment to the
new pure mile ordinance failed Of passage
at the meeting Of the city council yester-
day afternoon. Councllmel Morgan, Nc
Mnlen. Shodsholm and Younkerman voted
against a suspension Of the ru-es and the
amendment consequently, somewhat to the
surprise of Mr.. Jensen, had to go over.
Councilman Olson voted with Mr.. Jensen
and Councilmen Bellinger and Rigdon were
absent.
The proposed amendment makes a more
liberal provision as to pastuerization than
provided in the ordinance as IL now stands.
II permits the sale Of milk pastuerized out
side Of the city and state, provided that
such milk has been first inspected by the
city food inspector without cost to the
city. The amendment, IT is understood, is
designed especially to benefit dairy com
panies in Omaha selling in Council Bluffs.
A resolution providing for the paving OF
Madison avenue between Stahl street and
Palmer avenue failed Of adoption. owing
to the fact that at the instance Of Coun-
cilmen Morgan and Younkerman a pro-
vision for the paving OF Hyde avenue be-
tween Benton and Harrison streets was
tackled onto II. Councilman Olson was OPP
posed to the paving of Hyde avenue on ac-
count Of most of the abutting property be-
ing unlmproved and he voted against the
resolution. AS a resolution ordering paw
ing requires the vote of two-thirds Of the
council, or six votes, the resolution failed
OF adoption.
An ordinance changing the name Of the
street heretofore known as Benton street
extension to Hyde avenue was passed un-
der a suspension OF the rules. In order to
reduce the cost of the proposed paving on
Hyde avenue the council by resolution de-
creased the width of the thoroughfare be-
tween curbs to twenty-slx feet. The reso-
luton for paving these two streets will be
brought up again at she meeting next Mon
day night, when It ID expected it will re-
! cpiye sufficient votes.
