CITY TREASURER NOW CUSTODIAN OF SOME REAL MONEY
October Payrolls and Bills of City to Bs Paid
 in Cash.

Money-actual, good for taxes" coin and currency of the united States .government-;to the aggfesate value of $40, ,120.S0 is on deposlt 10 the credit of the city of Pine Biull'
 that sum having been received rom
 New York yesterday thus cllnchlns the deal whereby the city made the
 loan that puts it on a cash basis.
 There will be no session of the clty
 council prior to Monday, it was an nounced yesterday by Mayor Bloom,
 A special session will cost something, and there is no particular reason TOT
 it. hence the council will transact all necessary business at it's regular
 session Monday
 The payrolls have been remo9tdelea
 and reframcd by Mayor Bloom anu
 City Clerk William A. Lee. and pe-
 fore the council meets, the several aldermen will study the list, so they
 will understand it and know how to
 vote on the matter when it comes to them Monday night.
 It has already been decided that al! salaries for October will De pam
 in cash by the city. It is understood
 that purchases of supplies made during the month will also be paid in cash, if the firms which sold to the city charged the regular retail price for the stuff. It has been customary in the past, under the scrip basis, tor % persons selling to the city to add lo or 20 per cent. to the selling price, because of the length of time they Wbald have to hold the scrip, hence | if is, understood that cash will eabe 1 paid only where the. business man "a meets, the, .etiy half way on these bills. j If the scrip basis price is charged, the city will pay the bills, in I've havestfe money to do business with now,"@ said Mayor Bloom yes L terday, Fbut we. are going to be even n,oxe gecononfcaE on the cash basa1s [ than, we were on the scrip basis.

Mr. Sorrells. however, thinks the com missioners should be willing to turn the operation of the district over to the county, that the county clerk, treasurer and prosecuting enttorney might perform without additional pay work that is now costing the com mission considerable sum annually
 Fight Hospital Appropriation.
 Some opposition developed to the appropriation of money for the Davis hospital. pr. o. w. Clark and J. A. Frazier speaking against Jesse F. Cores resolution appropriating S2500 for this purpose. Dr. Clark asserted the appropriation was "exorbitant," and charged there was discrimination by the county physician in the selcc ton of surgeons for pauper patients. s. C. Alexander, member of the board of trustees of the hospital, and Mrs. J. w. Crawford, president of the that the county received full value in the treatment and care of pauper patients for whatever money the hospital accepted. Mrs. Crawford said the hospital would not accept more than was due it for the treat ment of patients sent to the hospital by the county, and at MT. Alexan- der's suggestion the maximum amount to be appropriated was re- duced to $2,000 by MT. Core The appropriation was made by a vote of B to one, the understanding be- ing that the hospital would collect only such amount as was due, and in the event the care of pauper pa- tients, amounted to more than $2000 no charge, would be made by the hos pital. In other words, the hospital will he paid for any county work up to $2C0e, but if the amountl exceeds this sum tho hospital does the .ex cess work for nothing, free. gratis.
 Farm Demonstration. Work. ,t ,.s,
 The sum of $2,000 was appropriate cd to aid i'll cooperative farm ,dem-. onstration work in the county, and, on motion of J. F. Boyce, the court adopted a motion authorizing the em
 plovmert of an additional canning and poultry club agent to assist Miss Mary Former, who has rendered such efficient service in the county. The work of Joel Lambert and c. H..

Big Power Boat and
Ten Barges Wanted
for River Service

A much larger power boat than the
Julia and a string of several large
barges seem now to be in immediate
prospect for transportation service on the
Missouri river between Decatur and
Omaha. Captain Ayres. now at Cham
berlain. s. D.. has q power boat of 100
horsepower. which is more than four
times as powerful as the Julia" now
operating on this line.
Decatur business interests have made
arrangements whereby the captain will
steam down the river Immediately to
take up this work, provided Decatur
can furnish him some big barges at once
to work with.
Decatur got in touch with the Omaha
Commercial club and the club is now ne
gotiating with the federal government
for ten large barges at present lying in
dry dock at Sioux City. Since these gov
eminent barges are not in use at pres
ent, every confidence is felt that the
club will reach a satisfactory agreement
with the government with regard to get
ting the use of them. at least this fall
until the river freezes.

CONFER ON SOUTH

Company Officials Declare Readjust.
ment of Rates Necessary If
Toll is Abolished.
WOULD ENTAIL GREAT COST

n the omaha-South Omaha tele-
phone tolls should be abolished and
the service thrown open to unre-
stricted conversation it would be
necessary to invest $4,000 in addi-
tional equipment and to readjust
rates. That was the gist Of a con-
ference held in the city council cham
Der between Commissioners Butler
Kugel, Withheld and Jsrdine, Corpor-
alton Counsel Lambert, and E. NJ
Morsman, Guy H. Pratt and l.. b.
Wilson, general counsel. general
commercial superintendent and dis
trict superintendent, respectively, of
the Nebraska Telephone company.
The meeting resolved itself into a con-
fab for the exchange OF ideas. Another
conference will BIO held within a week
or so.
Want Tolls Abolished.
The genesis of the situation arose at n
meeting Of the council when a committee
was appointed to meet the telephone peo-
pie and determine whether the existing
telephone tolls between Omaha and South
Omaha should be abolished in view OF
consolidation.
Tho telephone people explained that the
rates IN Omaha and South Omaha are
based upon the possibilities of service.
For instance. the omaha business man
pays 81 a month for service over an area
which includes Florence, Dundee. Ben
son. South Omaha, Bellevue and Fort
Crook. II the South Omaha business
man wants his phone for his immediate
district he pays 81 a month, but he wants
service over the territory mentioned he
pays 81.
should Pay for Service.
Under present rate conditions 1856 pat
rons in Omaha proper have general zone
telephones, which means they pay sc
cents more a month for residence. or 81
more a month for business places, for
unlimited South Omaha service. Aside
from that, there are scent calls which
the telephone people state average one
call per month per patron. Their argu-
nent lie that patrons who want this serv-
ice should pay for II rather than distrib-
nting the cost over the entire zone.
IF we should remove this extra toll
restriction figure that our omaha-south
Omaha calls would increase 200 to 800
per cent at once, because people would
visit back and forth over their tele-
phones" declared Mr.. Pratt
THE present arrangement is o restric-
ton against unwarranted use of the serv-
Ice" was another statement by the phone
officials.
