Extensive School Building Program.

Omaha folks have again been handed a
pleasant surprise by the energetic school board,
which has outlined building program con-
templating the expenditure of $5,000,000. The
extent of this proposed enterprise may give
some idea of the growth of the city, particu-
larly in those elements that make demands on
the public schools. 1t is apparent, however,
that the building schedule anticipates needs Of
the future, and its discussion must to some
extent turn on this The Junior" high school
idea, to which Superintendent Beverage is so
devoted, looks ahead to situation not yet
wholly developed and which must be stimulated
to considerable degree. Taxpayers have been
of the opinion that with the existing high
schools the demand for the advanced or special
work among the older pupils was quite we'll
taken care of, or will be when the new COM
mercial-technical building has been erected.
Omaha has always had pride in its city schools,
and its people have never been niggard in pro-
viding for their support, and this longtime
policy will be continued for the future. This
very fact is sufficient warrant for careful
scrutiny of the plans now before the board and
will justify the elimination of any features that
may be dispensed with at no expense to the
efficiency of the public service.

Drainage Ditch.

G. e. MA drainage ditch was

that the surface water which it col

district employed competent en-
gineer, yet I can establish by the
best kind Of evidence that the plans
of the engineer were faulty and
that the ditch could have been
constructed in a manner so as to
relieve me from the discharge of
such waters. 1 was told that the

recently holding that the drainage
district was liable for damages in a
you please tell me the name of the
case and what it decided? En-
closed please find stamped envelope
for a reply.
Answer-No doubt the case you
refer to is that of Dryden vs.
Peru Bottom Drainage District, 80
Neb. S37. Judge Sedgwick rem
dered the opinion. 1t was held in
this case that a drainage district
that is guilty of negligence in the
construction of it's ditch and by rea-
son Of such negligence casts the
surface waters which it has col
lected upon the lands Of another,
is liable for damage which is caused
by such negligence, and that it is
the duty of the drainage district to
so construct its ditch that it will
carry off the ordinary surface water
which is collected in such ditch, and
if it negligently fails to do so and
allows the water SO collected by it
to be cast upon the lands of an

caused by such negligence. The
fact that the drainage district en-
ployed a competent engineer and
constructed the ditch according to
his plan, does not constitute de-
Tense to an action for damages
caused by the improper construc-
ton Of the ditch.
Stock-Inheritance
L. r. S.-What is the best way to
get money back for stock subscrib-

Answer. The only way is to
sell the stock either back to the
company or to some other purchas-
er. e. If no children, then the
husband inherits all the property.
If children, it depends upon the
number and whether the chlldren
are the result of the marriage or a
previous marriage. Your question
does not state facts fully enough to
give an intelligent answer.
