WATER COMPANY ASKS WRIT
AGAINST SEWAGE IN RIVER
Says City Cannot Collect Fine for
Impure Water When Garbage
Goes In Above Intakes.

BY suit filed in United States court. the
Omaha Water company demands injunction
against the city OF Omaha to prevent the
dumping of sewage in the Missouri river
above the intakes of the water plant, and
asks that the ordinance fixing a penalty
on impure water be set aside.
The water company contends that the
city is dumping sewage and allowing waste
and dead animals to be heaped on the river
banks, and while this practice obtains can
not demand a penalty for impure water
The city ordinance In question was recently
passed by the council. 1t sets fine OF
81 200 a day as the penalty for serving
the city with water below a standard of
purity sufficiently high to satisfy the city
chemist
The new North Omaha sewer is discussed
In the petition. This sewer. It is alleged.
drains not only a large area Of the city,
but also carries the waste from Emmanuel
hospital where various water borne dis
eases are under treatment The sewer
empties six miles above the intake.
The history of the water company is set
forth in the petition with special attention
10 the contract OF 1880, along with the con-
tention that the actions Of the city alleged
impair this contract.
No date has been fixed for the hearing
in the matter OF the application for an
Injunction. Judge Munger will leave FRI
day evening on a short fishing trip. to be
absent several days and nothing will be
done in the injunction matter until his re-
turn.

SURPRISING NOISE in HOUSES
Interesting Results of Test Conducted
by an Investigator in
Germany.

Nothing escapes the German spirit Of ex-
perimental investigation. One OF the latest
subjects of 1t is the suppression OF noise
In dwelling houses
Hanover professor named Nussbaum
has given his attention to the matter for
nearly twenty-five years. He has expert
mented both in the laboratory and in pri-
vate houses. One point he has ascertained
is that the more solid and tough and strong
the building material is the more quickly
and loudly it conveys sound, and its con-
ductvity can best be tested by strokes
with piece OF metal. The higher the tone
the greater the conductivty.
The professor made many experiments
with partition walls He found those OF
tiles and cement transmitted sound most
and those of solid clay least. Between
the two comes the wall OF ordinary brick
and the more the brick is burned the
more noise II transmits A quickly hard
enIng lime mortar is to be preferred to
clay mortar One experiment showed that
when a floor was covered with sand and
cork mats spread over II hardly any noise
penetrated to the room below, but that
when the cork mats were Joined together
by any material underneath noises were at
once perceptible.
How, 1t may be asked, are the sounds
flats TO be excluded? The professors re-
ply is a suggestion to treat ceilings as he
treated successfully his telephone cell,
namely TO line them with a layer Of zinc
