viii Buy Huffman Site
When the meeting was called to
order by Chairman G. E. Rugh, the
report of the committee ON sites was
given by the chairman, c. c. Wy
andt, recommending the purchase OF
the Huffman site on Olive street at
a price of 81 a running foot. The
report was adopted. A half-hours
discussion as to whether or not 70
or 80 feet should be bought follow
ed, some Of those present contend
ing that with a building about 70
feet in width the drop sides would
extend out over the sidewalk space
and on the lot adjoining on the
other side. The decision was left to
the directors.
R. J. Long and Kenyon Riddle OF
the committee on plans and specifi-
cations presented some detailed
plans. Mr.. Long explained one plan
which provided for pool varying
in depth from feet to 2 feet the
water to be foot from the top OF
this pool. A pool 50x100 feet is pro-
vided for, with showers at either
end, dressing rooms along the side
and with drop sides, leaving part
of the pool exposed. The fresh wa
ar would run into the pool at the
shallow end from a number OF open
inRs in a half-inch pipe. This plan
carries an estimated expense OF from
$4,000 to $4,000. Another plan en-
falling more expense was discussed.
ADOPT Cooperative Plan
The shareholders were practical
" unanimous upon organizing up
on the cooperative plan, which al
lows each shareholder one vote re-
eardless OF the amount Of stock ne
has subscribed. A proposal to effect
this sort Of an organization started
a lively argument but an agreement
waa reached quickly. The coopera-
tive plan has the advantage OF bar
ring all assertions that . group ol
men owning large individual shares
would control the enterprise AM
this point was brought out BY some
Of the largest shareholders present
as an argument in favor OF ensuI-
ing a harmonious association oy or
ganizing comparatively.

City Tax Rate

A Jump of nearly 25 per cent in
city taxes is on the program for this
year. The city commissioners made
the levy this morning and hiked the
taxes from GA mills to 7.9 mills.
They found that the increasing ex-
penses of the city could not be met
with the old levy and more money
is needed.

was $3O7O. The large number OF
subscription lists which were being
circulated and the difficulty en-
countered in rounding up all the
committeeman lists into one COM
prehensive report, task practicaliy
impossible until last night, led to
AN error in counting the amount OF
subscriptions. Committeeman were
slow in turning in their subscription
lists. The work OF collecting the
money will be begun at once.

Chairman Rugh reappointed the
members of the four old committees

Directors Busy
The directors met following the
meeting and started work at once
planning for the pool. A suggestion
that met with instant favor was that
of building the pool at once SO that
it might be used this summer and
fall, and then finishing the nata-
torium later.

said President Rugh this afternoon,
land we hope to have the WORK
started next week some time. The
pool will be built first"
The directors appointed G. L.

LINCOLN, sept. 12.-(special THE
roseate prospects OF the Cornhusker foot
ball squad received somewhat OF q rude
setback yesterday when Coach Jumbo
Stlehm received a letter from Chamber
lain, star fullbsck of the freshmen eleven
last year. and who was expected to be
one OF the most brilliant gridiron per-
formers Nebraska ever had, saying there
was some doubt about him returning TO
school.
Chamberlain up until recently had as
sured stiehm he would be back without
fail and the letter was very much in the
nature of an unpleasant surprise.
The loss OF Chamberlain will be a most
serious blow to Nebraska. He, without
question, was the greatest gridiron per-
former the Cornhuskers have had In re-
cent years. It was reported at odd times
that Chamberlain had been asked to go
to Yale and other eastern schols, but the
blk. husky fullbsck always expressed his
preference for Nebraska and said he was
quite content TO play as a Cornhusker.
Possibly these same eastern schools may
have been buzzing around him again, but
Stiehm has implicit faith and believes his
star will return when the time comes
