AT that date. there was In the CITY
Treasury to the credit OF the various

of the preceding year. The receipts
from all sources for the year just
ended amount to 3lV,l52.sss.1S as

ments for these years are $9.95l.l9s.5l
and 1855. 1856.
An inspection OF the figures con-
tanned In the report shows at a glance
that the careful and conservative fiscal
policy. early adopted by the City. has

financial system Is OF greater import

unique position among the larger cities
Of the Union. While practically all OF
these larger cities have been forced TO

To the Honorable. the Common Council:
Gentlemen--At various times during
my present incumbency. circumstances
have arisen that forcibly impressed upon
me the necessity OF more effectually
safeguarding that portion Of the tax

|ellswed for alley cleaning purposss, but
ny lnvesttgAuons have convinced me
that the present system II not the best
vh1ob could be used. Its principal fault
% that the wagon hauls 20 the dumping
grounds are too long. 10 that the greater
part Of the large sum OF money pafd by
the city for teaming Is paid for teams
which are on the way to or from the
dumping grounds.
What u wanted IL a system whereby
the city can get more loads OF ruobags
hauled for each days pay for team.
and believe that II might be possible
for the city to make arrangement win
the Detroit United Railway or the steam
railways to haul this rubbage from con-
veniently located stations. and do away
with the long team hauls.
1 would, therefore. suggest TO your
Honorable Body that the Commissioner

an investigation to the end that "a IL
seems feasible he may advertise for ten

EXCELSIOR MOTOR

Nebraska Cycle Co.'s "Stock"
Machine Takes Everything

When a stock" motor cycle behaves
too finely at a road race, many interested
ones are prone to Immediately exclaim;
All, that's a special" THAT'S not a
stock machine" etc
But suspicious ones were neatly disap-
pointed at the Fourth of July road races
when the Excelsior" motor cycle. which
is handled in Omaha only by The Ne
brasks Cycle Co, at Fifteenth and Harvey
streets. took everything in sight in the
way OF honors and prizes
The prize capturing mount was dis
sected" In full view of a committee Of
local dealers, and IL was quickly proved
that the Oft winning Excelsior" was an
ordinary stock machine, taken from a lot
OF many Of the same kind at the sales
rooms OF The Nebraska Cycle Co.
In the first race, twenty mile road
race for single cylinder stock machines
the Excelsior" took first prize In the
face of twelve contestants.
THE second race was a twenty mile
free-for-sl for single and twin" cyIi-
inder stock machines. In tnis race the
Excelsior entered bv The Nebraska
Cycle Go. was the only single cylinder
among eight entries. yet IL came out with
second honors. Even though a single
cylinder against twins, this Excelsior"
won second place, losing first place By
only six seconds, and passing the fir
teen mile post even with the twin" evil
nder that took tirst prize.
