WILL EXTEND FIRE LIMITS
City Council Now Engaged in Plan
ming Step ALI Agree On.
w1THNELL IS CALLED UPON
cOunciImen Favor Increasing Area q
Little at a Time-City Attorney
IL Expected 90 Draw Up
New Ordnance.

Extension OF the fire limits Of Omaha is
now engaging the attention OF members of
the city council No one denies the limits
should be extended. but the exact lines to
be established have not yet been agreed on.
Tuesday morning President Brucker OF the
council and Councilman Hummel held an
informal conference with Building In
spector Withheld. The inspector has long
favored an extension OF the limits and
feels the matter should be handled sys-
tematicaliy. He leans to the plan of estab.
fishing zones, going so far this year and a
little farther next year, as the extension
Of business seenr to demand, rather than
fixing any arbitrary limits at one time
which shall be allowed to stand.
THE present fire limits were fixed so
long ago we have outgrown Them" says
Mr.. Withheld. while we have managed to
worry along under the handicap for some
years, the time has now arrived when the
extension of the limits should be taken
ND seriously and new ordinance placed
on the books that will embrace a much
larger area"
1t is likely the city attorney will be asked
to prepare a new ordinance charging the
fire limits for presentation to the council
at an early date.
