AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Low Fire Funds Necessitate Laying
Off More Men in City.
FIVE OUT OF WORK EACH MONTH
Possibly Governor VIII Veto Bill Ex-
tending Terms of office of City
Officials and Candidates
Are Getting Busy.

The condition Of the police and fire funds
has necessitated laying off more men. Up
to the present time four have been laid
OFF each month and in some instances
some have had a longer enforced period of
idleness. But from now on the number
Will be five each month, and this, Mayor
Trainor stated, will reduce the deficit on
each fund to a few hundred dollars
Next year, with the increased appropria-
tions provided for by the new charter the
funds will be in better condition, but, said
the mayor, I'VE must look ahead and try
and avoid the position we are in this
year.
Il don't care what may happen" de-
clared the mayor, Il am determined that
we shall not have any overlap in any fund
or as small a one as possible" He men
toned that from time to time until the
end Of the fiscal year, the fire and police
funds might be helped out by the scaven-
ger fund.
Mayor Trainor stated that the Fire and
Police board had been receiving complaints
regarding the sale Of liquor during pro-
hibited hours in saloons in the outlying
parts Of the city He stated that he was
Informed that some persons were investi-
eating these cases, as well as the cases
complaints had been made, possibly with
a view to objection to the renewal of the
licenses. There will" he said, "undoubt-
eddy be a reduction in the number Of
licenses as number OF saloon keepers
will not be able to get bonds"
AS to the question Of supervision he
stated that it was hard to watch all the
territory with the police force they had
and with men being laid off owing to the
impoverished state of the fund. His own
view was that they should have the sa-
looms In that part OF the city where they
could be kept under the observation of the
police force
Governor Likely TO Veto,
The receipt Of information from Lincoln
last night that there was every likelihood

the time lost. Canvassng is being actively
pursued in all parts Of the city and the
cares of business have been forsaken for

paign. Now that the ballot has been de-
cided upon big women's vote Is expected
and the members Of a certain organiza-
ton In the north end Of the city are par
ucularly the objects of attention on the
part OF some Of the democratic candidates
