PUSH LOCUST ST. VIADUCT
Councilman Brucker Will Do All He
Can to Hasten Structure.
OPPOSITION FROM THE RAILROADS
Union Pacific Is Expected to Fall
Into Line, While Two Other
Roads May Put I'D
Fight.

Now that the city council has finally de-
cared the necessity for viaduct on Lo-
Gust street. from Fifteenth street to the
east city limits, Councilman Brucker will
get busy TO push the preiminaries.
The first step is to have appraisers ap-
pointed, to award damages and assess ben
etlts, large number of property owners
are interested, but the only railroads in
volved are the Union Pacific, the North
western and the Missouri Pacific. Council
is looking for some opposition from the
two last named roads, but the Union Pa
cific has expressed a willingness to stand
its share of the cost at any time It is
called on. At the best it is not expected
the viaduct can be started much before
the late fall.
II Is also understood that the Union Pa
cific is in favor of the proposed Nicholas
street viaduct, while the other roads look
askanco at the proposal. They contend
that one or two viaducts at a time is plenty
to have on hand, The Missouri Pacific
already has the Dodge street vladuct TO
deal with, that II ad alone being concerned
in this improvement.
The final ordinance for the Nicholas
street visduct has not yet been passed.

be built over lizard or Nicholas The senti-
ment seems TO favor the latter thorough

nearly 20 per cent a year, figure County
Assessor Shrver says is TOO high.
There is a difference of S265,OOO in the
Omaha plant between 1909 and 1910, the fig
ures being $s6S, 495 for last year and SGOS $50
for this. That there is no greater differ
ence in totals for Douglas county in the
two years is due to improvements since the

BOISE, Idaho, April 29.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Boise City is now up in arms
against the supervisor OF the census and
his enumerators, claiming half of the popu-
lation is not being counted,
Boise is one of the most beautiful little
cities in the country, strictly modern and
up-to-date. The first impression one gets
on seeing the splendid buildings for many
solid blocks is that it is city of $4,000 to
10000 people. They claim 5000, while the
census will probably give them less than
1900. The streets are we'll paved and kept
fautlessly clean, and the entire business
district is lighted every night in the man.
ner Omaha lights up during Ak-Sar- Ben
week The electric light company and the
street car company use water power to
generate their electricity. The little city
is growing rapidly, new, large magnfi-
