After many trials and tribulatIons
the committee in charge of the swim
ming pool have found an ideal loca-
ton and construction work will prob
ably be started at once.
The first pool excavated proved
impossible for two reasons. 1t
would not hold water and when the
idea of constructing permanent
concrete pool was preached and
survey Of the site was made, it was
found to be located on land belong
ing to G. r. Kerns instead OF in the
City park as had been supposed.
The committee next preached the
idea of constructing the pool i'll the
southwest corner OF Reaney PARK,
but this project met with vigorous
opposition from property owners III
the vicinity, who claimed that it was
too public place, and from others
who thought that it would impair
the use OF the park for other pur-
W
both objections was found in the tri-
angle of ground west OF Reaney park
living between Harrison and Morton
streets, belonging to Mrs. phoebe
Reaney. The city council held spe-
cial meeting Monday evening ana
informally agreed that the city
would purchase the property IL II
could be bought for $500. The mat
ter was taken up with Mrs Reaney
by wire and Wednesday telegram
was received from her by T. W.
Struppler, stating that she would sell
the land for $500. The location is
an ideal one, being screened by large
willow trees which afford both shade
and privacy. The property includes
one block and four city lots separated
by an unnamed street which, II va
Gated. will give a triangular piece OF
ground with base OF approximately
1872 feet on the alley back OF the
three houses fronting the park and
sides of approxim atey 359 feet
Work on the construction OF the
pool will probably be started as soon
as the deal for the property can be
closed and the location which VIII
afford the best drainage can be de-
termined upon by City Engineer
Myers. The. project has aroused
great interest and is being indnstri-
ously boosted by every small boy in
the city.

Team Of Horses
Crashes Through
City's New Dock

A team Of horses owned by the
Omaha Transfer company fell
through trap opening Of the new
railroad loading dock recently opened
at Eighth and Seward streets for con-
venience of refuse haulers. One Of
the animals had to be shot.
When properly locked the trap will
sustain heavy load, but on this oc-
casion 1t was insecure.
This loading dock is under the
supervision Of City Commissioner lar
dine Of the public improvements de-
partment. Cars filled at this loca-
ton are hauled to the dumping
grounds at Willow slough, northeast
Of Carter lake.
The il1-fated team had drawn a
load Of refuse to the top Of the. plat
form aud was moving forward to
place the wagon directly over the
trap, when they were precipitated
through the opening with such force
that they broke the harness. and
tongue.
Instinctively the animals stepped
on to the trap with cautious tread.
The horse that was shot suffered a
broken back. 1t is believed the other
horse was not permanently injured.

Uncle Sam. to Use Movies

In order to secure first-hand evil

liquor to Indians on government
reservations, Uncle. Sam. is to pro-
vide each, federal sleuth engaged in
Indian work with a moving picture

In very few cases have government
attorneys been able to secure Indians
to testify against the men selling
them the liquor, and as result it has
been almost impossible to secure
enough evidence to convict the boot
leggers.

SIX-CENT LIGHT
TOPROMPT PAYERS
But One HALF Cent More to the
Tardy Customers Of Elec-
s.. trie Light Company.
LAMBERFs TAcIT PACT

The city council placed on first
reading an ordinance which, If passed,
would permit the Omaha Electric
Light and Power company to bill
one-half cent per kiowatt hour in
excess Of the new 6-cent rate, the
excess to be collectible only upon
failure to pay bills within ten days
Of their date
Cooperation Counsel Lambert cx-
planned to the commissioners that at
the time Of the drawing Of the 6-cent
ordinance, there existed tacit under
standing between the legal depart
ments of the city and light company
to include this half-cent provision in
the new rate ordinance, but inadvert-
emily it was omitted. @
The light company contends that
this one-half cent excess serves as
an incentive to prompt payment Of
bills and is recognized universally as
a reasonable regulation.
Commissioner Butler offered res
olution, directing the city prosecutor
to proceed against the light company
for violation Of the terms of the 6-cent
ordinance by billing the one-half cent
excess. The resolution was lost, in
view of the fact that an ordinance
covering this point is now pending.
