' The report submitted to the councIl Tuesday
' . night by Attorney Connell shows that more
' I than forty cases enjoining the payment of I i
special taxes ere now hanging In the courts.
- These represent a large amount of revenue ,
' ' which the city Is at present unable to reach ,
,
fl but they do not Indicate the sllll larger
number of similar cases that have not yet
'
been taken Into court , but In which the
' . , property owners have : refused to pay their
taxes , awaiting the decIsion of some case
, ; pending before the courts As soon as one
' ; , property owner In an Improvement district ,
: , brings a suit for an Injunction lo restrain ;
. . the collection of the tax , the other property
' : : owners similarly situated : all hustle to gel
Into the band wagon and escape , If possible ,
. ' c the payment of their tax Large numbers
. , of thtse do not pay at all , whllo others pay
' under protest In order to preserve their rights
' : ' \n \ case the courts should decide that the tax
' cannot legally be levied.
' One of the chief difficulties In ' tltese cases ,
says the city attorney , Is found In the delay
: that Is always experienced In reaching a decision -
: , cision After the suit has hung ! fire In the
" f' district court for a year or two , It Is almost
invariably appealed to the supreme court , and
that body Is so far behind In Its business that
' three or four years : may elapse before the
T ' quosHon at Issue Is sellled.
' , The most Important special tax case that
1 has arisen under the present administration
" ' Is that which w.s brought by Leavenworth
' Street property owners to enjoin the collection -
' ' . tion of the tax for repaving that : thorough-
' fare. This Is the first case In which the
- right of a city lo compel the property owners
to pay for repaving has been brought before
' , the courts of Nebraslm. As Mr Connell bas
, ' k . property Interests on the street , the manage-
ment of the case has been turned over to Assistant -
slslant City Attorney Cornlsh , and the hear.
i log Is expected to come up In the district
i court some time next week. This case Is of
4 : so much Importance that whoever may win
I' , , In the lower court there Is no doubt that
It will be taken to the supreme court , and
; r It may be three or four years before , a final
decision can be oblalned. In the meantime a
. ' large amount of the special taxes on I
' that stret ! are being hl'ld back
. to the embarrassment of the fund So
' : 1 far as the right lo tax for repaving Is concerned -
corned , attorneys say that thc l'enllsylYJlnla
¶ supreme court has recently decided that a
, , city has no eight to tax the property owners
t ' for repaving , and there Is jomo question
t : ' whcthet the Nebraska court will \ follow this
.f procpmlent . In this case also the property
I owners have , not finished pa ' lng , for'the
, original paving and they ) pleadthmat : In any
r , event the city can not 'levy a tax for a
i second pavement until the old one Is paId
for.
' for.The
The famous McGeath paving case was submitted -
. ' . mitted to the Eupreme court two years ago
and a decisIon In expected at an early dnte.
'
t , $ The difllculty arises over an agreement very
. sImilar to that which Isaac Hascall recently -
' " ' cently attempted to saddle on the city In
cooection with ven'IDw park
; 'Vhen A. J. IInnscom deeded the property
t ' which Is now known as Hanscom park to
( ' the city It was with the condition that none
c of his adjoining properly should be assessed
, : ' for special taxes. Subsequently he solll the
: property to other parties and when timer
r Ilavemenl was laid around the hark they
r were assessed along with the other property
. - owners benefited. They at once enjoined the
' collection of the lax on the ground that they
: . , were exolulltcll hy the condition of the deed ,
; % , and the case has been IJlllerly fought Three
! . ' briefs have been submitted to the supreme
, court In the case , and the lllrtles : are now
'f : ' waiting for a yerlllct which means several
: thousallll dollars to the city. The position
I of the city IItlorney Is that while the prop-
erty belonged to Mr. limmnscomu the condition
11 remained In force , but thnt such a. . condition
' . was not balable and that as soon as the
'
: , . properly passed Inlo other hnmls It became
T' liable to ta.xatlon. .
' l The cases growlllg out of the Douglas ;
' , street change of grade and the Parlt avenue
paYing are alllong theMe In which an early
' decision Is expected , In timt' former case
' It III clalllled by the property owners that

LAW FOR CO tDEALERS ,
New Ordinance JII.tn. ! Rlca Jntro-
.
.1 imeed In Clint , founoil.
In the new coal ordinance that was Introduced -
Iucell hy CouncilmAn Bnumlers Tuesday night
some of the objectionable features which
caused the commiee to report Blverl ly on
his previous ordinanco'hmavo been eliminated.
One provision omitted , Is the clause that per-
mlt 1 coal dealers tobs' licensed city weigh-
ers and to place M ofcial certificate at full
weight upon each 10:111IltUvered on their own
responsibity. This 11ravlslon wn9 unani-
mously condemned by th council , as It was
claimed that It would allow unscrupulous
stealers 10 swindle their customers under the
ofcial authorIty of the clt ) . .
The most important change suggested , by
the new' ordinance Is a. repetition of time
former attempt lo license the dealers Such
an ordlnnnce was passed by the old council ,
nn annual tax of $00 being assessed ) upon
every denIer In the city. Sonic of the dealtrl
applIed to the courts and I was declared
that the tax was Ilegal and It was never col-
lected. In this case the courts hed : that time
city lied the undoubted , authority to regulate
thc coal business anti , to levy a tax for n
license , This amount , however , must be for
a no greater nlount than was nbolutely
necessary to pay tht eXnes of this regu-
eX\
Itlon , The tax o $100 was declared 10 bo
far In excess of lhnt amount and to be Iliegal .
I.n that It _ conleplated , a revenue from the
ueolers anti would operate to create a. mmmonop-
ely In favor of lho larger tlalr.
Since this ordinance was knocked ouL a
nllber or similar ordlnallces Iave , ben introduced - I
treduced at the behest ef some of time larger
dealers. These have ben modlfel from time
to time , but the provision II regard lo a
license always appeared , In one form or an-
other. I was first relucel to $50 amid In
the present ordlnnnce It 19 still further re-
ducetl to $ , \0. \ As to whether the courts wi
hold that the last amount Is legal tinder
time previous interpretation of the law there Is
some difference . of opinion Assistant City
Attorney Cornish says lhat there Is no doubt
that this decision Is goO law. I the tax Is
such ns to contemplate any revenue , aside
from tile Incidental expense of Issuing the I
licenses and otherwIse regulating time coal I
busness ! , the courts would certainly ) conleml ,
It. Whether the judge would consider $0 a
year atm more than sufcient for this regla-
ton could not lJe forecasted : , but I was his
opinion that time decision would be against thc
colectlcl of the tax. .

NO RETRENCHMENT THERE.
SalarIes 01 COlnty Employe to nemiln
tl Same 18 Now ,
Some days ago the members the Board
of County Commissioners went Into committee
oC the whole for the purose of considering
time proposition of readjustIng the salaries of
the employes with a view to retrenching In
\ or the Ilepartmenls. Since that time any
lumber of executive sessIons have been hold ,
and while the committee ' of the whole has not
reported It Is known , that there will be no
retrenching In tIme various ofces and deparl-
.
ml'nts.
The commissIoners held one of the execu-
live sosslons a couple of days ago , and at that
time one of the members entered the retrenching -
trenching arena wllh , I proposition to begin
the work by applying the ux In the omce of
the county treasurer. The proposItion was to
ICUt the salaries of al employos who were receiving -
celvlng morl than $76 per month , reducing :
them an' even 110 , per ent. This cut , be contended - I
tended , would have : ave .tho county $810
p r , yer. , ' , Oblng.from , the ofllceoItbe : county ,
treasurer he proposed : 'to take the county
commissioners and all othcr ofcials and em-
ployes , cutting their salaries In the same
ratIo . The proposition to retrench In the
treasurer's office met wIth such violent opposition -
position that the whole plan was abandoned ,
and In the , meantmo salaries wIll remain the
same 8S they have been during the past year.
Had this 10 per cent cut been enforced In all
time offices and departments , It would have
lopped off $4,000 per year.
