Paving Delayed by
Contractors and
City Getting Busy

The city legal department is now con-
sidering what course is hest to pursue
against four paving contractors who have
neglected to execute their work, or even
start work. for which they have con-
t-acted with the city. The contracts
specify certain time limits within which
the work must be completed. 1t Is ex-
pected that suits will be started against
the bondsmen in each case, and it is also
believed that these contractors may es-
cape this litigation by showing an inn
mediate disposition to carry out their
contracts.
A list Of the districts referred to in the
resolution adopted by the city council is
as follows:
Thirty-fifth avenue, Spalding street to
10 feet south Of Evans Decatur. Twenty
ninth to Thirty-fourth; Kansas avenue.

NOT SUPPLY WATER
q. buckingham Tells of Trials Of the
Stock Yards in Getting Suffi-
cient to Run Plant.
FORCED TO BUILD OWN SYSTEM

General Manager Buckingham OF
the Union Stock Yards company,
South Omaha. testifying in federal
court, disclosed a condition in the
yards In 1908 and 1909. on account
of lack Of sufficient water. which
threatened the stability of the live
stock and packing industry here.
He was testifying in the injunction suit
Of the Omaha Water board against the
City OF South. Omaha. the Union Stock
Yards company and the Cudahy Swift,
Armour and Omaha packing companies.
by which suit the plaintiff seeks to keep
the city of South Omaha from putting
INTO effect an ordinance giving the de-
PENDANTS the right to lay the mains of
their water plant through the city's
streets from their pumping station near
the river to their property.
Could Not supply Water.
The defense Is seeking to show that
the water company could not supply the
requisite amount of water or the re-
quired pressure. An act Of the legisla-
utre empowers any consumer OF water
