WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT III

Up to January 1, this year, the
Water board, with its %auxiliaries and
subordinates, had cost the taxpayers
of Omaha $97,63S in actual money
drawn out of the city treasury.
OF this the salaries of the Water
board members and employees aggre-
gate $21,945, the lawyers had drawn
$~53.S95.51, engineers and experts had
taken $12, 919.S6, court costs, includ-
ing stenographers printing briefs, wit
ness fees, etc, added at least $4,000.
The whole $97,63S has been spent in
five years and the $50, S95.51 absorbed
by the lawyers is simply part payment
for legal services for which the full
bill is yet to be rendered.
1t would take a searching expedition
to find out what substantial or lasting
benefit the taxpayers of Omaha have
gotten for their $97,63S. The imme-
date and compulsory purchase of the
water works seems to be as far off as
at the start, but we have accumulated
a multitudinous bunch of expensive
law suits that are making the lawyers
on both sides rich.
If it has cost us $97,63S up to jan
uary /, 1909, to get as far as we have
got, how much will it cost to get pos
session of the water works?
What are we going to do about it?
