south Omaha. school Problem.

SOUTH OMAHA, May ll-ro the Ed-
nor OF The Rec: One hundred aud fifty
teachers of South Omaha are not casting
angry hooks at the school board. and,
what is more. none of us are wondering
where our next meal is coming from. We
are not tramps, but loyal members of an
honorable profession. Those who are
casting the angry looks and talking in an
indlscreet manner probably never have
saved anything, or are chronic kickers,
anyway.
AS to getting cash on our warrants, the
majority OF US had no trouble obtaining
1t, South Omaha warrants draw per
cent interest, so why not just as well to
hold them as to have money in the bank
drawing only per cent interest2
The present financial stringency is not
caused by any fault of the present board
but is rather result of great expendi-
lures in the last ten years caused by tho
growth of population the demand for
better facilities and the lack of increase
in the tax levy.
wish to state that Miss Georgia Packer
does not voice the sentiments Of the ma
jority of South Omaha teachers She
stated her individual opinion. A vote was
taken in each building on the question
ohdh VIC hSh W NNdNn lAo last lWO NNtkS
and walt for our salaries until the board
can pay us, or shall we be willing to close
| school at the end of nine months and do
without the last two weeks salary?" 1t
was decided by majority in every build
ing to teach the last two weeks and wait
for the warrants.
The money question is not the only one
| bothering the true teacher of South
Omaha; but 1 won't say that it doesn't
bother us. We have asked for an increase
in salaries, because of increased cost Of
living and additional work. and we were
treated fairly and squarely by the board,
who were willing that we should have the
increase but could see no way to give 1t
| to US.
II we have but nine months of school
| instead Of nine and half the standard Of
our schools will drop. our pupils be unable
| to do the prescribed work and pass on,
and the South Omaha schools will sink

the bench, for example, or could II
prevent the governor from appointing
an attorney general Of his own instead
Of opposite political persuasion, as
did the last governor of Nebraska?
We realize that each branch OF the
legislature is the sole Judge of the
qualifications of its own members, so
where the vacancy could be claimed
by the majority party, it might en-
force this rule by refusing admission
to an unacceptable appointee. But
we also venture to assert the belief
that no such restriction would hold
water against a governor in accord
with the controlling majority in the
Legislature.

Depreciation.

The State Railway commission Is
having a little argument with the
street railway companies operating in
Omaha and Lincoln as to the amount
they should be permitted to charge
of to depreciation each year. The
wants to fix the deprecia-
tion charge at cents per car mile,
against which the Lincoln company
protests, while the Omaha company
wants to continue its depreciation
basis on a percentage of gross re-
ceipts, which figures out about 5.25
cents per car mile.
We refer to this, not to reconcile
these different methods of computa-
ton, but as a reminder that our Water
board will have to figure on deprecia-
ton when Omaha takes over the water
works. II it is per cent on $685.
295.49, which was the appraisers re-
turn on the physical valuation of the
plant five years ago, the annual de-
probation charge will be S313,164.77.
The item of depreciation can no more
be safely discarded in a city-owned
water plant than in a priyately-ownsd
street railway.

MEETING OF COUNCIL
 OF WATER USERS ASSN
Proposed Change In the Bylaws Rest Room to be Provided
 In New Office Building.

A meeting of the council of the Water Users association was held yesterday being called primarily for discussion of the advisability of mak. ing change in the bylaws respecting the date of the spring payment of association assessments Action was taken looking to that change and in cidentally recommendation was made to the board of governors for an added improvement to the associaticn's of- flee building now under construction
 Under the present bylaws of the association the annual assessments are due and payable in two equal parts, in September and in March It was thought by many of the counciImen that the March payment might be burdensome. for many of the farmers of small means to meet at that time between the seasons for the market ing of crops. and that if the time for payment could be changed to May or June. after the grain and other spring crops begin to come in it would be much more easily met
 Another argument in favor of the change was that as soon as the res ervoir is formally opened and the payments 10 the government begin, a change of similar sort would probably have to be made anyway for the req son that the government would prob ably want the payments to close with the fiscal year which ends June 30. This is to be expected so the associa- tion's dealings with the government will he in harmony with all other branches of the governments busi-
