Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas' Revised Ordinances of the City of Omaha Nebraska: Embracing All Ordinances of a General Nature in Force August 1, 1905, Together With the Charter for Metropolitan Cities; Revised Ordinances of the City of Omaha, Nebraska In preparation of these revised ordinances of the City of Omaha, it has been necessary to examine all ordinances passed since 1872, that is, since the date of the John P. Bartlett revision. That revision, with a few expressed exceptions, repealed all general ordinances then in force. Twice since its issue the ordinances of the City have been published in book form, once in the compilation of Hon. Champion S. Chase in 1881 and once in the compilation of Hon. W. J. Connell in 1890. Thoroughly, however, as the editorial work was done on these two volumes and although each was issued under authority of the council, yet, unfortunately, neither was published as a revision expressly repealing all other ordinances. Neither, therefore, became a substitute for the then existing law of the City. Its authoritative law still remained unpublished in any collected and classified form. Under authority of the Mayor and Council preparatory to the publication of the present book as a revision of the ordinances of Omaha, the ordinances herein, excepting some certain specified classes, have been brought into conformity with the present law of the State and into consistency with one another. This publication covers all general ordinances passed and approved up to and including August 1st, 1905. It comprises general ordinances only. It does not contain franchises conferred upon particular persons or companies, contracts of the City, ordinances naming, or changing the names of streets; nor improvement district, special assessment, or other special ordinances. In the appendix will be found the names of streets given since the original platting, together with changes of names.
