The session OF the South Omaha city
council win be important tonight In that
the passage of the ordinance raising the
rate of interest on the bonds for paving
is to be passed II has been number
OF years since municipal bonds Of the city
could not be sold at par when they bore
even less than per cent. The city charter
limits the rate OF interest to per cent. 1t
is hoped that the present issue Of bonds
may be floated without reaching that
limit.
1t is evident that the people OF South
Omaha are In mood to pave the city
streets far more extensively than ever
before. Within two years ell the principal
residence streets wilt be paved. The opin-
ion commonly expressed is that South
Omaha is destined to be annexed within a
short time and the residents are Fastening
to get their paving done before such a
time. The political leaders have incuicated
the belief that 1t would be harder to Sc
cure paving after the cities are annexed
Notwithstanding the fact that the Omaha
council Is bound to act whenever the resi-
dents of any street present their petition
for paving.
The paving this year would easily have
exceeded $4,000 had the bonds been readily
to be delay. numerous petitions for paving
were dropped by the residents Interested,
awaiting a more favorable opportunity.
