OMAHA'S ' CREDIT IN DANCER ,
OHy Treasurer Rash's Statement of the
City'o Financial Situation.
THE VALUATION MUST BE INCREASED ,
Ijcttcr From n New York Ilnnkar on
t/io / I'ljr-Hondcdiicfl I of Ouulm's

"For the first tirao in her history , " said
City Treasurer Hush , "Omaha finds herself
handicapped In the mallor of sclllnK her
bonds. The credit ot this city has always
been first class , She tins never defaulted In
Interest or done anything to impair conn"-
flonco in her ability to meet all her legitimate
"Tho ridiculously loiv assessment which
Dome of our people fancy means low taxation
has gene on from year to year until now wo
nro brought face to face with a distressing di
lemma. Hitherto our bonded Indebtedness
bus boon kept wlthlr. the charter limit , which
was , until the last legislature amended
the charter , 10 par cent. When wo reached
that limit Instead of raising the valuation to
something llko that of bthor cities wo took
the other course and increased the limit to
12 } nor cent , and then to make It still moro
flexible cxcoptca park and city nail bonds.
"At the last election the people voted
$1,100,000 In bonds. Of thcso bonds only
$200,010 are actually Included In the 12J4 per
cent limitation. Whllo ns a matter of fact
wo are still safely Insldo the charter prohi
bition the bond purchaser will hardly appre
hend this truth unless ho Is steadfastly
argued with. The school district indebted
ness can of course stand upon Its own merits
und need not bo considered in discussing the
point at issuo.
"Outside of the school bonds already Issued
the city of Omaha ewes SI.U'XI.UOO. Adding
to this sum $775,000 voted at the last election ,
( again excluding the $1135,000 of school
bonds ) , wo ilnd the total bonded Indebted
ness of the city will roach $ ' . ' ,711,100. Now
applying the charter limit from the stand
point of the bond purchaser , who looks to
the total indebtedness and talcos no account
of technical exceptions , and wo find that to
be at the present valuation of fM.000,000 but
t3i23,000. ( OP § 8(1,100 ( loss than the total in
debtedness which will follow the sale of the
$7715.000 In bonds recently voted.
"Wo cannot go Into the money cantors
with that showing und sell our bonds. Pur
chasers will bo suspicious of the securities
of a city which oilers bonds for sale appar
ently exceeding the limit allowed by her
charter. Wo have been explaining from
year to year that this city Is acluallv worth
(100,000,000 at least and that our assessed
valuation Is only about ono-elghth of our
real vuluo , but year by year it has grown
moro dlfllcult to convincu brokers that this
Is true , especially when we reduce the valu
ation Instead of steadily increasing it with
the growth of the cltv.
"Hero is a letter which I will road you In
which tbo-caso Is very well set forth. It Is a
sample of what I have received from other
sources and of what may Do expected If wo
continue to go to the world with a lying as
sessment bolstered up by legislation m-
crcasine the limit of Indebtedness :
NEW YOIIK. Doe. II. 18'JI. ' John Hush , City
Treasurer , Umulm , Nob. Dunr .sir :
Wo have your favor of llio u'Tlli inst , , for
which pluuso accept our thanks.
When wo wrote you relative to the assessed
valnuof your elty propel ty , wo hud In view
the sale of a lur.'o hloeU of Uiniihu city bunds
which wo understand will boolTurod In thu
comparatively near future. Of course It IK
futile for us or anybody else to show yourcity
assessors the light In wlilch your elty obllsa-
tlons will bo regarded If you Incur this new
Indebtedness without Increasing the assessed
munition of property.
It Is very dlllloult for us to understand just
why you should keep your assessed valuation
ntmiehi' low llmiro. If your Indebtedness
wiis within 8 per cent of the nssossod value of
prouorty. yourcity would receive u great deal
moroforlts loans every time It sells them ,
and If your assessed value was justly pro
portionate to your real vuluo of property ,
your Indebtedness would of course , come way
within tills limit.
Wo are iiwiiro that you hare full knowlodco
of just how yourcity Is bcnullted by this pe
culiar policy , but Itoxnsporate ? us every time
wo lenll/o how soilously your city nlllclals af
fect thu city of Onrnliu bv their pig-lie idod-
ness In this line. Their niothol of kunplng the
iibsi-s-ied value of property down certainly
does not lioiicllt thu taxpayer any , and the
only result can bo but mi unfortunate ono to
your citizens. Yotus truly ,
QUIOU2V , 11AIUIAMAN & TUTTI.n.
"Now suppose we do n llttlo calculating.
If our valuation Is Increased to $ 0,000,000 ,
thu 12) ) ft per cent limit will permit n bonded
Indebtedness of $3,250,000. Our actual In
debtedness after the $775,000 In bonds is
added will bo $ . ' ,711,100 , which Is over 10
per cent. Deducting the exccpted bonds
and the apparent Indebtedness will bo low
enough to satisfy eastern capitalists.
"But thu objection will be raised that wo
almll bo paying moro than our share of. the
atato tux. True , but as the state tux is but
7 mills , wo shall bo adding only $33,000 to
our present payments , and this is nothing
compared with the loss which wo ore likely
to experience If our credit shall bo
impaired. Wo cannot hope to
market bonds bearing loss than & per cent
oow. If wo raise our valuation wo can sell
them for 4)rf possibly 4. Minneapolis and
Denver bonds have sold us low us 4 per
cent , and have been taken at a premium. Ours
nt 4 } < ? per cent were once sold nt it per cent
premium. Now the dllforonco of 14 per cent
atslmplo Interest on tholliO,000 ( wo shall
ecil the coming your amounts In twenty
years to $110,000. The percentage of
premiums will also bo ufl'octod.
"Tho other objection Is that which is so
often raised , that an increase of valuation
means an Increase of taxation. This does
not follow. The proportions under an honor
able assessment remain the same. The ex
panses of the government and the interest on
bonds are the saino whether wo yaluo
our property at $31,000.000 or $50-
000,000.Vhothor wo shall add to
our Indobtodnesson account of Increased val
uation Is a question with the people for the
future ,
"Wo must either rnlso our valuation or suf
fer loss of credit. The only other alterna
tive Is the London market , where wo could
probably scllTi per cent bonds even with the
present valuation. I hope our pcoplo can bo
brought to sou the fallacy of tlio low valua
tion. Our publio Improvements and In fact.
the growth and welfare of the city depend
upon It.
" \ \ o shall not bo able to sell the bonds
voted until midsummer. The tlmo farndvor-
Using Is February or March. December and
January are the worst months In the year to
go on the bond market. Advertising , oto. ,
will consume March and April probably.
Therefore the now valuation can bo returned
for Ib'JJ ' iu tlmo to alTcct the sale of the bonds
and 1 sincerely hope us a taxpayer and citi
zen that our county commissioners and
municipal iissossoro can bo brought to appro-
clato the necessity of providing what scorns
to mo to bo the only vay out of n very em
barrassing dilemma. "

honorable body to act against the Intetusts
and wishes of moro than three-fourths of thu
rpHldonts und property owners In the southern
part of thouliy anil to do IH all Irrupar.iDIo
Injury. Our Individual pieforenco for the lo

ruspceHvo inunua.
All nro.'cnt declared thonnolvos In favor of
sending the petition as read to the pane com
missioners und u recess of ten minutes was
taken lo allow these who wished to sign the
petition.
When the meeting was again called to
order thirty-eight of the club members bad

Kit the parlc commissioners Impose upon
us In the selection of n slto for n
south side park. If they do wo must stand
together and mnlto It hot for them. Wo can
get up meetings nnd call the attention of the
proas nnd the publio to our rights. Why , If
tbo city council should do what the park
commissioner } propose , the populace would
rise uncn masse nud drive them out of town.
If wo nro denied our njrhts wo can elect men
to the legislature who will have the law
chanced and tbo park commissioners elected
by n vote of the people instead of bain ? ap

"Wo don't want any frog ponus or mos

Keep lit ( t and wako the commissioners up to

The courts bristled with sensation at every
turn. It commenced In the criminal court
where Judpo Estcllo held forth with the Jnko
Price murder case on trlnl. The facts In this
case have been written n number of times.
Yesterday morning the examination of tno
jurors was continued , and among the
llrst men to go Into the box wns
Donnls Purtell. The usual preliminary
questions wcro nskcu by County
Attorney Mnnonoy and answered In a satisfactory -
factory manner by the juror. .1. W. Eller ,
who Is ( Icfondinp. toolc the juror in
hand and asked : "wore you about the jail
the tilphton which Smith wus tukon out by
a mot ) and. hanged to the electric motor
wlrol"
"That's none of your business , " at once re
sponded 1'urtoll.
The court caught the answer and at once
proceeded to read Mr. Purtell a lecture that
was Intended to maUo his hair curl.
Ho said that no juror could coma
Into court and trampiu upon Its dignity.
Such an act was in direct contempt of court
and a repetition of it would result In n line
and a jail sentence ) .
Purtell was excused and another juror
sworn.
Before adjournment the jury was secured ,
and was escorted by the sheriff to the sccno
of the alleged homicide. Price refused to
accompany the jury.
Finally C.iuglit the Triiint.
There was no chaiiRO In affairs In Judge
Davis' court. Lawrence F. Wassmuth , the
truant Juror , ; wai still absent. The sheriff
appeared before the court. Ho stated
that he had hunted far and near
for Wussmuth and all that ho could
learn was that thu man had started out on a
protracted drunlc some time durlnu
Sunday evening. The order of contempt
entered against the sheriff was expunged
from the record and ho was ordered to send
moro men after the juror. Wassmuth by oc
cupation Is a dog catcher and served with
Count PulasUi during the early part of the
dog catching season.
Wassmuth was caught and returned
to Judge Davis' court at 2 o'clock
In the afternoon. During the whole of
the forenoon Sheriff Bovil and his deputies
wore out on n still hur.t for their man. Just
after noon as Deputy Polllclc was passing a
saloon at Tenth and Howard streets ho
caught a glimpse of Wossmuth's face through
the * window. Entering at the front door the
juror sped out the bnclc way and started
do ivn the street toward the river. Polllck
started in hot pursuit and for a tlmo it was
a nock and nock race , with odds on
Wassmuth. Neither ot the men stopped ,
but us they reached the river the pursued
became winded , and was overtaken just as
ho reached the river bank. On the way
back ho declared that ho had committed a
great crime and would tuko his life. Ho said
that ho would rather die tliuii face the judge.
Ho did not dio. however , but was brought
before Judeo Davis. There ho was too drunk
to offer any explanation of his conduct , und
was remanded to the custody of the sheriff
to appear in court today.
Opposed to Further Purley.
Judge Hopcwcll caught the spirit of excite
ment nt an early hour and broucht several
lawyers up standing. For several days the
trial of the case of Allen against Muhow
has been on In his court without any hope of
reaching ah early termination. The case was
one of tiio.se neighborhood troubles that orig
inate in Elkhorn. The plaintiff was seeking
to foreclose a mortgage that he held upon the
town hotel. The evidence was all mixed up
and in such wretched shape that it
could not DO untangled. The court
became wnary und ordered all of the
parties out of court. Ho told them that If
they did not reach a settlement at once ho
would enter an order of dismissal.
fllinor Court Matters.
L. A. Spureh was before Judge Davis and
secured an injunction restraining ono W. D.
Cook from interfering with his business.
The hearing was so' for Satur

business at thu corner of Eighteenth and Chicago
cage streets. A. short tlmo thereafter ho took
