MAT EXTEND TERMS OF OFFICE
News of the amendment of 8. F. No.
t. providing ,for a vote In all the territory.
Including Omaha, the total vote to be
counted as a unit and not in separate
municipalities as formerly, was received
In South Omaha yesterday evening with
mixed feelings. The antls were dis
pleased, because It Insures annexation,
and some of those favoring the merger
were disappointed at the delay and
worry of a special election. Taken as
a whole, however, the news was taken as
a victory for the mergeiists and annexa
tion seems now assured. It was said.
Antiannexatlonlsts In South Omaha
were plainly disheartened yesterday. The
Parrlott compromise providing for the
vote In the whole territory counted aa
a unit, wss fought by thwm up to the
last minute. The next move will be the
vote of the house on the amended bill
Among theln1 lhen fc murn f ln, amenn(i bill to

The next proposition will probably be
the extension of the Omaha terms of
office to a date sufficiently beyond the
special election to Insure representation
from the local territory to the Greater
Omaha council. It was admitted that
the amendment was a concession on the
part of the mergorlst In the house.
