City School Board cides on
Issue Of $275s 600 for
New Buildings
SPECIAL ELFcTqo n
VIII Be Arranged for at a
Meeting Next Monday
Night.

Decision has been arrived at by
the city board of education to sub
NIT to the voters of the district at
an early date the question of is
suing $2T5, 900 in bonds for the
purpose of erecting additional
school buildings, which are urgently
needed owing to an overcrowded
condition OF the present school
buildings.
The board came to this conclu-
sion at a special meeting held with
dts attorneys Tuesday night. When
the question was considered several
meetings ago it was thought the
limit of the levy for school purposes
as restricted by law would not sut-
fee to raise sufficient money for
present needs, but later examination
of the subject revealed that new
valuations of property within the
district would provide the necessary
sfunds. The total assessed valuation
s6ald permit the raising Of little
more than 100000, besides pro-
viding for all other purposes. but 1t
was decided to fix the amount of the
proposed issue at $275,0OO.
It is planned to erect new cen
trail high school building, an addi-
ton to the Alta Vista school, new
ward buiIdIog in the East End and
one in the extreme West End. In
such event the present high and
grammar school building on Hewes
street would be used for grammar
school alone.
The board instructed its attorneys
to prepare the necessary legal pa
pers for the submission of the
question to voters and to report
them to the board at a meeting to
be held nexe Monday night, when
the date and details of special
bond election will be arranged,

RED TAPE IS USED

There is a mining company organ

it has some sort of Japanese
name, but that fact does not give it
a standing in Korea. and it has been
untangling lot of international red
tape to enable it to get the recogni-

sires.
First it presented to the high and
mighty officials of the Korean peo-
pie a certificate OF Incorporation
bearing the great seal of the state
of West Virginia and the ornate
signature of Stuart F. Reed, secre-
tary of state. But the Korean Of
fcials, in their ignorance had never
heard of either the secretary of

for the governorship, or of the state
of West Virginia, so the governor

is What An Indictment
Says Attorney Thomas
Ramage Is.
SUDDENLY DEPARTS
For Parts Unknown After Is
suing a Number of
Worthless Checks.

Thomas Ramage, a young AMI
well known member of the Cla' ks
burg legal fraternity, is a very
much sought man. Attorney Ramage
is believed to have left the city be-
tween Monday midnight and 6
O'Clock Tuesday morning and no
one has any knowledge of where he
is now. The last report said to have
come about him was a telegram
from him stating that he was at
Vincennes. Ind. and that he nad
raised money enough to pay certain
of his obligations.
Ramage appears to have procured
quite an amount of money by bOr-
rowing and he is charged with Is
suing bad checks to the amount OF
$500 or $500 and ranging from So
to $50 the night he disappeared.
It Is believed too that there are
shortages in his accounts as trus-
tee and guardian.
Another ugly charge against him
Is forgery, its being asserted that
an $500 note Is in one OF the banks
with the name OF friend forged as
endorser. There are other notes In
bank which the endorsers will have
to pay, unless later he provides tor
heir payment otherwise.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Recall Petition Against Administra-
ton is Planned.
THREE DISTURBING FACTORS
One Movement Based on Alleged
Defect I'm Law Extending Terms
of Present city Administra-
tIOn in south Omaha.

Those who believed that the defeat of
annexation would bring quiet and peace
to the turbulent spirit Of the Magic city
were disillusioned yesterday when It was
learned that a recall petition was TO be
circulated for the custer of the city ad-
ministration.
One of the principals in the movement
is an annexationist and the other is a
man who claims to have been the subject
Of unmented mud Singing during the
campaign just closed.
Another movement said to have origin
In Omaha is based on an alleged defect
in the law extending the terms OF tho
present city officials. 1t is said that at
torneys are working on the case and
will take the matter into court
The third cloud upon the political
horizon is the maturing of the threat
made by the annexationists TO deprive
South Omaha of the convenience of the
local deputy treasurership. According to
those who are behind the movement the
law does not warrant the maintenance
Of a deputy treasurer here. This srgu-
ment has not met with a great deal or
favor among the people of the city who
have enjoyed the convenience of the local
office for some time. The long trip to
Omaha for the payment of taxes is not
looked upon with favor by the taxpayers.
Those interested in the recall petition
say that they are not anxious to have
the proposition come to maturity before
next April, at which time the fight
against the extension Of the terms Of
office win be made.
Some of the city officials when they
learned Of the new movement expressed
their disapprobation in terms more
graphic than polite. They say that much
of the trouble charged to the administrs-
ton is due to continual agitation.
