The South Omaha city council. while no
public announcement has been made offio-
tally, has practically agreed upon the com
mittees OF the counc and upon the pre-
siding officers. This agreement was
reached in a secret session held at the city
hhl "wednesday night. The members de-
bated the question Of the appointment until
nearly midnight. and held some preliminary
voting in an informal way. The president
Of the council, according to information
which has been given out, is to be John
Franek of the Second ward, democrat.
The vice president Is to be August Miller,
republican. It is pretty definitely decided
that these will be the presiding officers.
The lineup Of the committees is given also,
but this ls prospective simply and possibly
may be changed In some respects. The fol-
lowing are prospective committees which
are to be appointed by the chairman, John
Franek;
Finance-Miler, Franek, Matt Petersen.
Judiciary-Walters, Riha, Hoffman.
Streets and Alleys-Thomas Peterson, Mil
Ter, Hoffman.
hallway and T~elegraph-Riha, Miller,
Fire y Water-Franek, Walters, Riha.
Street L~ighting-Matt Petersen. Hoffman,
Public Property and Buildings-waltsrs,
Franek, Riha.
Printing-Matt Petersen, Miller. Hoff-
man. 4,
License-Hoffman. Thomas Peterson,
Walters.
~Charity-Riha, Thomas Peterson, walters.
BY the above arrangement It will be seen
that walters appears in four committees,
Hoffman in six, Matt Petersen in four,
Thomas Peterson in two, August Miller in
five, John Riha in five and John Franek
in three.
The president Of the council agreed to
confirm this list of committees at an early
date. 1t will be seen that a democratic
majority appears in each committee with
the exception Of the committee on railways
and telegraphs and the committee on char
ity.
