m
THIS is RECORD FOR FEBRUARY

omaha-second largest primary corn mar
ket in the world!
This is the record earned by Omaha dur
ing the month of February-not altogether
an abnormal month-when both in receipts
and shipments of corn the city stands next
to Chicago as the next largest of all the
primary markets to which the grain makes
its initial move on the way from the fields
TO the consumers.
Omaha is now third in wheat and fourth
in oats, according to the government re-
ports, which caused rejoicing on the floor
of the Grain exchange Saturday.
To grain dealers this means the markets
on the Missouri river-nearest to the pro-
duction-are the coming markets Of the
world, and the decline and fall OF those
which have existed and been built up by an
arbitrary system of rates is only a question
of time.
In total receipts Of grain Omaha was
third, the always large receipts of wheat at
Minneapolis making that city second re-
CARELESS of the big receipts of corn at

Jim Street Boss Gets Public Works
Funds from Engineer.
NEW CHARTER GOES TO WORK
City Attorney Rules that This Must
BE and So an Apportion-
ment of the Money IL
Made.
wv CHARTER GOES TO WORK

Reapportionment OF the money in the
public works fund of the city engineering
department was ordered by the city coun-
Gil in special session Saturday morning.
The reapportionment will be made by the
finance committee, the city comptroller and
the city attorney, subject to the ratification
of the council in adjourned session Monday
afternoon.
This action was taken on advice from the
city attorney through his construction of
the new city charter, which he holds to be
Immediately effective. The change In the
charter places the street repair depart
ment, heretofore controlled by the city en-
gineer, under the street commissioner, a
newly created office as far as the charter
is concerned, but made years ago by coun-
Gil provision.
AS the new charter says that the mayor
shall appoint a street commissioners and
that among his duties shall be the over
seeing of street repair work, City Engi-
neer Rosewater holds that the street COM
missioner will not take over the new work
until he shall have been appointed by the
mayor under charter provision. He told
the council that in the Saturday meeting,
but the attorney gave 1t as his opinion that
the street commissioner is a duly consti-
tuted official and that he could take over
the work at once. In this event a reap
portionment of funds must be made and 1t
was ordered.
The attorney also advised that he be-
lieves the charter intends only inspectors
of street work and those actually engaged
in office work as being under the charter
provision requiring confirmation and fixing
of wages. Other employees of the depart
ment are excepted. This phase of the
charter was not discussed much, but was
deferred, together with definite action on
the funds, until the Monday afternoon
