Omaha daily bee., 1910-04-05

did not the Water company set ii aside
for Jay M. Williams? 1t was because VII
liams had Investigated the Water COM
pany's property in South Omaha and had
the evidence at hand on which to base his
case and the Water company knew IL.
Therefore 1t did not make any attempt
to change the assessment.
Now when w. H. Queenan attempted to
follow the figures of 7. j. O'Neil he failed
to make an assessment because he did not
have any ground to stand on but when he
compromised with the water company at
the figure they named, he did make an
assessment on his own account and not by
the decree Of the court. He could have
gone into the matter of making a physical
valuation Of the Omaha Water company.
but he did not choose to do that He took
the company's figure and quit Therefore,
1t is again asserted that he did assess the
Omaha Water company at less than half
the present assessment or the assessment
of 4. J. O'Neill who went before him.
Fire and Police Board.
Among the several republican candidates
on the ticket none are better qualified to
receive public confidence than Thomas
Kelly and Dana Morrul, candidates for the
Board of Fire and Folfce Commissioners.
The former has BEEN citizen OF South
Omaha for twenty-one years and is at
present foreman at the Cudahy packing
plant. He has been a lifelong republican
and is well fitted for the place. The demo-
Gratis are making a special fight against
him because Of his great popularity. He
has been wrongfully charged with all sorts
Of combinations which are said to hinge on
his election. He has promised no one what
he should do regarding the candidates for
the chief of the fire department or the
chief of the police department. He has
told every man who has asked him that
he would stand for a square deal in this
matter. Some republicans have swallowed
the poison bait of the democrats. who pre-
dict regarding his acts after election. All
such statements are Matched up for effect.
Whereas the Daily News has charged that
he is in a combination with Ryan or
Pivonka agairst Dana Morrill,, Mr.. Kelly
wishes to reply once and for ali that he is
for the republican ticket in every instance
and that he regards all such charges as
malicious slander.
Dana Morrill,, his team mate, is known
to everyone in South Omaha as a straight
forward, liberal business man. He served
the city faithfully as a member of the
Board of Education. No one has been bod
enough TO say malicious things about him
