AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
New Charter Bill Contains Some
Important Provisions.
FIRE AND POLICE FUNDS LARGER
Considerable Saving Involved in
New Arrangement as 90 Length
of Term of Paving
Bonds.

The South Omaha charter bill which
Governor Aldrich signed yesterday, carries
some provisions which are Of the utmost
Importance to the city. The extension Of
the terms of the present officials until
May 1918, is, in the estimation Of business
men, but subsidiary to the other benefits
conferred. That date, however" said a
merchant yesterday, when he heard the
news, looks significant as it is the day
OF the Omaha election" Continuing, he
asked the question. can It nave anything
to do with annexationT'
The increase of the fire and police funds
Is one of the most important features Of
the bill. The condition of these funds at
the present time is such that men win be
laid off until the end of the financial year.
This course, in the opinion Of Mayor
Trainor, is absolutely necessary, IL a
serious overlap is 20 be avoided. In an
interview he gave out a week or so ago,
he said that the present policy Of laying
men off in the police department at the
rate of five a month would make the
deficit about $3.50.
The police fund is now increased from
S25 900 to $4,000.
"But what's the use of all this increase"
said large taxpayer last night. III the
Fire and Police board will continue the
policy Of the past. Why do not they ex-
ercise business discretion and keep the
strength of the departments within their
means"
City Clerk Good says that the new bill
in its improved arrangements as to the
length OF term of paving bonds, will mean
a saving to the city of about $4,000 a year.
Future of Country Club.
Secretary c. r. Cox has sent out a call
for meeting of all the members of the
South Omaha Country club for Friday
night in T. ]. o'Neirs office, Twenty
fourth and M streets. The object of the
| meeting is stated to be the continuance
of the club on its present site.
1t is known that a committee of the
club has been seeking for another and
less expensive location. but whether any
thing will be done this year will depend
on the feeling and representation at this
meeting. There is so little interest
shown" said a director, that don't know
whether the club viii continue to exist
or not" That may be taken as the sit
uation for the club to deal with Friday
night.
The present grounds have been bought
from DR.. C. NJ. schindel by the directors
in pursuance TO the option given them,
but the question the members have to de-
eide is, can they pay the rent that will
be required to be remunerative to the d.
rectors or seek cheaper location else
where?

buildings to make normal schools,
and the fact that they are designated
as normal schools does not make
them such. Oklalonla boasts the
fact that She now has in operation
six normal schools. The facts are
that we have not "a single school in
this state exclusively doing real nor
mal school work
4 believe the best interests Of all
the schools OF this state demand that
our schools should be required to dG
the work they were by legislation
designed to do The responsibility
aloAs this line viii rest largely with
the legislature OF oklahoma. AS long
IS appropriations are made for bulld-
ings, the demand for students TO fiji
those buildings is going TO be iel5
and in procuring students there viii
be no effort made to restrict the at-
tendance to persons who do real nor
NAL school work
Not Fair to People
1T is not fair to the people OF the
state to appropriate money that be-
longs 10 all the people 10 help out
special localities. II the normal
schools OF Oklahoma would eliminate
the students that are doing grade
work and are not really entitled to
enter a normal school, and wplld
make the localities where these stu
dents live provide for their needs in
the graded schools, as Is made The
duty OF other sections OF the state,
there would be found TO be ample
room in all of these normal schools
in my opinion, 70 meet all pressing
needs OF those institutions at his
time
III is useless for me to refer to the
well known fact that tie building
fund OF this state is fast becoming
depleted and that there are hundreds
OF thousands of dollars owing to she
state, that have been incurred under
contracts for the erection OF build
ings provided for by the former leg
islature OF Oklahoma, which we are
unable to pay In view OF these facts
III is certainly tho part OF wisdom to
make only such appropriations for
public buildings as the exigencies OF
the occasion imperatively demand.
In coming to this conclusion | am
doing SO after the most deliberate
consideration and with the conscious
ness that am serving the best .n-
terests of all the people Of this state.
i realize that my action in this
matter will be sore disappointment
