Aho oouth Omaha city COUNCIL met IN
SPECIAL session last night to pass the
amendatory ordinance which Is to fix the
rate Of interest on the paving bonds Of the
city at 5h per cent. This constituted all
the actual business. but the question of
the purchase OK the fire hall site at Thirty
third and X streets was opened for dis
cussicn and this may possibly lead TO a
reconsideration OF the transaction.
a committee representing the board of
directors of the Baptist church was pres
ent and reminded the city council that 1t
had offered Thomas Ginispie $500 for q
fire hall site when the church had offered
lot just across the street for $1,000 The
committee argued that the council was not
conserving the interests OF the city by pur-
chasing the more expensive lo..
Some OF the members Of the city council
explained that they were not familiar with
tho location OF the church lot and did not
know that II was a better proposition.
The resolution to purchase has not been
ratified by the mayor and ne will investi-
gate the lots offered before signing the
same. This may result in q veto or the
purchase, as the mayor may decide. The
mayor also asked the committee OF the
council 70 investigate the matter.
This will probably be done before the
next session OF the council.
