stand corrected by Mr.. Agnew in re-
gard to Jersey City not being part of
Greater New York, but that is immaterial
to the argument. The fact remains and
he cannot deny it. that residents of New
York City still use the names of the
original towns and sections In which they
lived before the greater city embraced
them all. and these designations are the
legal ones. 1t would be absurd, II

Understand, then Brother Agnew, that
my proposition Is not to retain the name
South Omaha as separate city. After
the vote of June l. no one has the power
to do that. But as a. name to designate
definite section of Greater Omaha II
will be useful or course. in registering
