"Omah has reached a stage in its ex-

ing the Real Estate exchange Wednesday

outlined the policy Of his department on
paving. sidewalks and sewer Hereto
fore we rave had less to do with, but
Omaha is no longer a village. and we must
pave and put in sewers for the future.
"Since l went into office 1 have never
asked a thing of the city council which
was not granted, and we expect to do u
vast amount of work this year. Our first
idea is to give attention to the downtown
district. Heretofore money spent for re-
pairs has been practically thrown away,
but under the present law we may con-
DEM ~pavements and order the streets re-
paved. This has been done on nearly all
the downtown streets, and within the next
six months all the business district will be
repaved.
Last year downtown sidewalks to the
amount of 152, 900 square feet were fixed
up in two months, and Of this amount the
city was compelled to do but 5000 square

No contract has yet been awarded for

is opposed to letting a contract on the bids

why, out of l6 licensed plumbers in the
city only four put in bids said Mr., Lynch.
This was because it is not such a job as
the ordinary plumber likes to tackle. But
beyond that fact, the council appropriated
only $500 for the work, and the lowest bid
received is in excess of that mount. We
