Even an apartment in skyscraper

of
Omaha, County
Plan Revived
State Senator w. N. Chambers
Declares He Will Intro
duce. Bill if There Is
Popular Demand.

Information on the proposed con.
solidation of Omaha with other terri.
tory of Douglas county has been re-
celved by State Senator w. n. Cham
bers, who Is interested in the sub
ject and had in mind the introduc-
ton of a bill at the next session of
the legislature.
According to the legislative refer.
ence bureau at Lincoln. the following
procedure may be observed:
That the legislative can provide
that whenever the entire population
of a county. within which is located
a city of the metropolitan class. by
a majority vote determines to con.
solidate the city and county offices.
that then the county affairs shall be
administered In the following man
ner. Then the legislature can amend
various sections Of the statutes 10
make them fit in with the scheme
of the consolidation. The city char
ter can be amended as provided in
the constitution OF the state of Ne
braska and the plan then would be-
come operative.
III the city charter IL properly
amended the change can be brought
about without vots of the people
living outside the city. as the legis-
lature has the power TO provide for
the election and for tho duties and
powers of the county officials. The
Legislature can provide that IN a
county containing a metropolitan
city only such officers should be
elected. and for a fair manner of
meeting the expense. as between the
city and the territory outside the
city"
Senator Chambers explained that
II there is an urgent demand for this
legislation. he will have consolida.
ton bill prepared and introduced.
The proposed consolidation plan. II
adopted. would result in the election
of seven commissioners who would
administer the government of the
entire county and would appoint all
county officials now elected by ths
voters.

Expensive, But Good.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore. former chief
OF the United States weather bureau,
has suggested that underground con-
struction should be OF concrete. The
ideal location for such a cool place
for summer is a hillside. where a
conduit leading from its bottom and
opening at a lower level will afford
air drainage and II supplemented by
ventilators on top. the requisite at

Probably these cellar rooms would
be ideal for winter 10 be kept warm.
Although expensive the system sug.
gested by Professor Moore is con-

Lieutenants Smith and Nelson, the

they reach the American continent
they believe the rest of their journey

Set Record
200 Visitors and Families
Expected; Elaborate Pro-
gram Planned; Million
Dollars to Spend.
Success Is Predicted

With the pulse of business in the
Omaha trade territory already quick
ened by higher prices for farm prod
ucts. Omaha wholesalers are antici-
pating a record breaking Merchants
Fall Market week. not only from the
standpoint of attendance but also
from the trade aspect.
The week opens Monday with an
elaborate program, and continues
through the week with unceasing
festivities and unusual opportunities
for visiting merchants to gain help
full ideas and information and to car
ry on their marketing.
Last fall the attendance totaled $50
visiting mechants. Wholesalers esti-
mate that the attendance will total
more than 100 merchants this year.
They base this estimate on the op-
timistic reports from salesmen.
Entertainment for All.
In Omaha merchant market weeks
are not regarded from the dollar and
cents standpoint. The week here is
unique. in that it provides the sort
of entertainment which wives and
families, as we'll as the merchants
themselves. can enjoy. The unfailing
success of the week Is attributed
to a large extent to this sort OF en-
tertainment.
The week also affords personal
contract between the merchants and
officials of big houses which invari-
ably results in warm friendship, so
that. even though merchants spent
not single cent during their visit,
most wholesalers would consider the
week valuable affair.
There is interest. however, in the
amount Of money any big gathering
brings to the city, and a prominent
wholesaler estimates that during
market weeks os the past few sea-
sons the average out-of-town mer-
chant has ordered merchandise worth
$3.50.
This estimate is based on busi-
ness during a period of depression.
however. and with the present low
stocks throughout the country this
same wholesaler is confident the
average order this fall will amount
to 81 900. So, assuming that the at
tendance is only 1000, orders which
will be placed will total s1,000,00oo,
In addition to the general good will
and activity created by the week.
Wholesalers Praise Week.
Here is how several of the score
of Omaha wholesalers interested in
the week feel about the prospects Of
