F. Agnew, formerly a stIeng opponent
OF annexation IA South OmahA Is one OF
the many who is nov IN favor OF the Inn
mediate union with Omaha ln letter to
The Bee he siyes much ot the prevaiung
stnument among hundreds ~ voters Ia The
city In u M. Agnew says,
We sam inuch more than We hose, While
some Vi the office holders may be pried
loose from the pubic crib We viii gain
much by being 4 part Of metropolitan
city IL viii tend TO increase the property
values and Il viii also tend to bring large
businesses TO this part OF Omaha, Tor
while the trackage Is prsGucally exhausted
IN Omaha, there IN room Tor large
amount OF II down here and with the prom.
lsed assistance OF the Omaha Commercial
club many enterprises viii be located
among us that will never come while they
nave to advertise their location in South
Omaha Instead Of Omaha, IL We are made
a part OF Omaha the big enterprises can
then advertise a. being located In Omaha
and II viii tend 70 Increase BUSINESS with
us greatly. Omaha Will give us a fair deal
and y it'll the retention OF our present high
scnonl. with a police court down here, with
an assistant city, treasurer down here and
WITH Just and equitable portion Of the
taxes raised In this. portion OF the city
for our own use We VIII gam much more
/ suppose we cannot blame the OFFICE
holders OF the city for fighting against
eilhtNallbils NuNusn II Is pfOudult tnuN ulbeL
they would lose for the time being.
There seems TO be very strong desire
on the part OF the masses Of the people
Of South Omaha outside the office holders
for annexation TO Omaha and they feel
that the time Is now at hand for that end
to be accomplished, and that It win be
best for all Of US IN the end. No candidate
On any ticket win be either asked or al
lowed to take sides on the question unless
they do 1t OF their own accord for we do
not want TO embarass them with dues-
ton that IL strictly nun-polltical and one
which concerns all OF us without reference
To party. In the past have been one uf
the most strenuous opponents of annexa-
ton, but like thousands of others ! have
changed my mind about II. l believe IL
will be to the highest interest To all IF
us to be a part OF the CITY of Omaha and
gether with common interest
While Omaha is building, up tremen-
become a part OF the booming city OF
Omaha and catch the Impetus to great
and prosperous future2 .Ia
It is my opinion that we have many
things to gain, much more than we will
lose by consolidation with Omaha,
