The circus Is coming to Maysville.

easily one of the largest that has ever

1t is Of more than ordinary interest
to note that old John Robinson, long
since passed across the great divide"
was the daddy of the circus business.
1t was away back in 1924 when he
first organized his one-ring tented out
fit, and therein laid the foundation of
what later developed into the very
largest and most successful circus
and menagerie that has ever travelled
these United States.
Like the proverbial acorn and oak" !,
the original John Robinson handed
down to his sons and to posterity an
enterprise that promises to rival the
running brook" In continuity.
The sons and grandchildren of the
founder of the circus have one and
all guarded the reputation of the man.

Robinson.
At no time during the past s5 years
of Its existence has the standard of
the John Robinson circus been allow
ed to deteriorate and from everywhere
that the big circus has exhibited this
season comes satisfactory reports that
augur well for the quality of the exhi-
bition that will visit Mayville Tues

flee of John Latenser & Sons, Bee

modern power plant at the Nebras-
ka Medical college on Dewey ave-

LAWYERS Receive Fee
OF $18,5O0 Each for
Handling Single Case

One of the largest legal fees re-
ceived by an Omaha attorney is said
to be that just paid to Byron G.
Burbank and James H. Adams. at
torneys for the American Security
company in its litigation against the
Barker company, involving the build
ing on the northwest corner of
Nineteenth and Harvey streets. Each
of the attorneys is reported to have
received $lS,s00.
The case has been fought through
the various courts since 1914, and a
decree was finally awarded Novem-
Der l6, 1918. A few weeks ago the
building was sold by the sheriff for
$4,000 to the Thomas Davis Real
Estate Co. The proceeds were d.
vided, according to the courts de-
cree, equally. the American Security
company receiving $76,050. The two
lawyers are said to have received
half of this in accordance with an
agreement made when they took the
case.

new ORDINANCE
ON PARKING NOT
IN FAVOR HERE.
Omaha Motorists Express Dis
satisfaction With Parallel
Order" On Downtown
Streets of City.

Motorists are much dissatisfied
with the new parallel parking ordi-
nance which requires all cars to be
parked with both right-hand wheels
within two feet of the curb and the
front of the car not more than
five feet from the vehicle immed-
lately in front. The ordinance ap-
plies in congested districts, on all
car line streets, and on paved streets
where the distance between curb is
70 feet or less.
Many motorists are absolutely
Ignoring the ordinance.
"Three-fourths of the parking
space downtown has been taken
from the motorists by the new
parking ordinance" said Clark G.
Powell, prominent on automobile
row. There was need for change
from the old parking ordinance, but
the city council went too far when
it innovated this one. The clause,
which specifies that the two right
hand weels of the car shall be within
two feet of the curb, is absolutely
impractical. marked my car down
town yesterday in accordance with
the ordinance. When | tried to get
it out, found couldn't move
either way. The worst Of it is, many
motorists are paying no attention
to the ordinance, which makes it.
more difficult for those who do
"The parallel parking of cars GER
tainly robs the motorist of parking
space" said S. E. Smyth, secretary
OF the Omaha Automobile club.
Motorists are also left without a
downtown place to park their
cars, since the short-time parking
ordinance was innovated on Doug
las street. The Omaha Automobile
cab fought to<secure permission for
all-day parking on Douglas street
but the city council refused to
grant it.
ID Motorists also have reason to
be wrought up over the wheel tax
alevied by the city council. Cars
which carry over FIVE passengers
are taxed 81, and smaller than five |
passenger cars, 81. When the wheel
tax ordinance was put through, the
city council agreed to spend 90 per
cent OF the returns OH Sllect III
Iprovements and 40 per cent on
those of boulevards. This was as it
should have been, but now the re-
turns are being placed in common
fund for public improvement of any
kind.
II would not blame the motorist
if he did not pay the wheel tax. He /
would not be violating the law any
more than the city council by no,
using the fund as was promised"
The failure of the council to pass
the "jay walker" ordinance, prohib- /
iting pedestrians to cross the street
except at the regular intersections, !
is another thorn in the motorists
side. The entire responsibility Is
thus placed on the driver of the car,
motorists say. Should a man dash !
into the middle of the street in
front of q car and be struck, the
motorist now gets the blame,
whether it is his fault or not.
