SQUABBLE OVER FENCE ON
NEW COURT HOUSE SITE
PrOtest Made to City Ounctl About
Amount OF Space sQuatted Upon
by Contractors.

Trouble Is brewing over the fence.
This has no reference to the stereotyped
backyard fence, but concerns the fence or
fences now enclosing all of the sidewalk
and half Of the street on the east, west
and south sides OF the new county build
ing. 1--WE.
Protest has been raised against the in
trusivenesg Of these board structures to
such an extent that member of the city
council and the county board v taken
the matter up with the contractors. Mer-
chants on Seventeenth, between Farnam
and Harvey, point out that they are now
shut In much more than is necessary, and
assert that when construction Is begun on
the new building at the corner of Harvey
and Seventeenth they will be isolated, ex-
cept, possibly, from the Farnam street
side.
The Caldwell & Drake company, con-
tractors for the court house. who have
thus acquired a material yard Of large
Dimensions, say they have a permit from
the building inspector. and pay 81 a month
for the privilege. The permit was issued
by direction OF the city c~ouncil, which sent
a resolution to the building inspector telling
him to make 1t out.
When interviewed by some OF the city Of
fioisls who rave interested themselves, the
contractors say they are willing to move
the fence. or to permit it's removal back
to the sidewalks line. IL the city and county
jointly will bear the expense.
There's where the city and the county
officials balk, but IN private conversation,
they almost admit that they are caught
holding the sack.
The fence sticks out in front Of the main
entrance to the fire house at Eighteenth
and Harvey. and also encloses within
Its bounds q fire plug on the Seventeenth
street side, opposite the alley running from
the east side Of that thoroughfare. Prao-
teal men among the city rulers, who have
looked over the material within the en-
closure, say 1t can very readily be put In
o~ne-quarter the space now taken up by the
contractors.

WESTERN RAISES, TOO
Joins Other Omaha Chicago Lines on
Advancing Beef Rates.
THIS MEANS A FIGHT TO FINISH
Some Packers and Railroad Men Had
Expressed the Belief that There
was More Bark Than
Bite In IL.

Packers and the railroads are now sched-
uled for a finish fight over rates on dressed
beef from South Omaha to Chicago and
eastern points.
The Chicago Great Western. upon which
the packers depended to break the plan Of
the other roads to raise the rates, has
given notice that its contract will not be
renewed at the old rate OF 1875 cents, viz
tually meaning that the old Maple Leaf
has been won over to the side of the other
roads.
The present contract with the Chicago
Great Western does not expire untn MAY
20, a month later than the contracts with
the other roads. Representatives OF other
roads state that a new tariff has not yet
been filed with the Interstate Commerce
commission, but will, all roads ~favorlne
the increase. The new schedule viii be sub
mitted to authorities at Washington fer
approval.
That the increase In the rates will never
become a reality was the belief expressed
by big packers and an official Of the Bur-
lington railroad before word of the Great
Westerns surrender,
There's more bark than bite to the
proposition is the way one packer ex.
pressed his sentiment in the matter.
According to the present status all the
roads operating between Omaha and Chi
cago have under consideration a plan
to raise the through charges from Omaha
to the east from 1871 to 9Sh cents and the
local charge from 20 to % cents. The move
ment is apparently championed by the
Burlington and the Northwestern, which
have an eye on the long hauls from the
west.
C. Il. spens, general freight agent Of the
Burlington route, says that his office has
not yet been advised Of any increase in
the existing rates. Mr.. SpeRs, George H,
Crosby, the freight traffic manager and
Charles q. Burpham. the. vice president OF
the Burlington, rave just returned from
ar Interstate commerce hearing at Billings,
Mont ~ (.
The increase has been under considera-
ton" said Mr.. Spens, but has not been
adopted. II the new tariff is filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission we
would be advised Of the matter here. How
ever. with even one road refusing to enter
into the plan 1t would not be adopted"
