In the report details of operating expenses
are not given , consequently exact statistca
relative to the outlays for maintenance cannot -

Omaha , however , by railroad men who are
cotivorsnnt to a certain degree with the affairs -
fairs of the Union Pacific , that the cmu-
patty during the year put into the road for
alditlons and betterments about $1,000,000
In excess of full requirements for bare
maintenance. The report shows by a footnote -
note in the supplementary statement that
upon all three properties during 1SOS-99 the
sum of $1,926,000 was expended at the cost
of earnings for permanent improvements
and equipment.
An excess of current assets over current
and accrued liabilities amounting to $1.-
109,000 is shown in the balance sheet
Among the liabilities stands the sum of $1-
500,000 , set apart for the IInldenI on the
preferred stock that was paid in October.
Considering this amount as a current lia-

debt of approximately $400,000 appehm ,
Train and traffic statistics show that in
the freight dopertmunt averaito earnings
per train mile tvero $2.46 , the average per
ton per mile being 10.15 mills. The average -
age freight trainload , including company

earnings per mile averaged $1,98 and earnIngs -
' Ings per train mile averaged 82 cents ,
The publicity which has been given this
report hits created more tlmn passing In-

the Union Pacific from the standpoint of
the showing made by thla annual report the
Railway Age , n recognized authority , says ,
"The present Union Pacific company affords -
fords an excellent illustration of a great
railroad working out its own salvation freed
from entangling alliances with the govern-
ment. The plan of settlement with the
United States and other creditors proves to
have been particularly happy , partly , however -

CO-OPERATIVE HOME BUILDING
Instructive Statistics front Anntutl
Report of 1'loneer Lnnn and llulld-
Li ; .lssoclnthut of11uthn. .
The seventeenth annual report of the
Omaha Loan and Building association for
1899 furnishes evidence of the growth of
co-operative home building in this city. Receipts -
ceipts for the year amounted to $189,67S.68.
This Bill ) ) Included $48,535.51 repaid on
loans. Mortgages written during the same
period amounted to $103,815 , making the total
mortgage loans $238,790 , a net gain of $56-
690. The asaets at the close or the year
amounted to $288,202.90. There was paid
to withdrawing shareholders during 1899 ,
$60,190.77 ; In dividends to shareholders (6 (
per cent ) , $13,603,13 , , and $2,99.20 carried
to the surplus fund.
In various ways the reports demonstrate
the business activity and progress of the
city during the year. The most significant
is tbo marked increase In the number of
loans repaid. Another is the large number
or new homes built with association money ,
constituting fully one-third or the loans
made , This is a larger proportion than for
ten years past. Real estate sales Improved
also , the association disposing of property
amounting to $0,303 , reducing its real estate
account to $20,225.
Thu association Issued 2,846 shares , cancelled -
celled 1,523 , and has now in force 7,096
shares , held by about 1,200 members.

The delay in the car Clarion of a pctl
( ion for the opening of M street , frnn
Twenty-fourth street east to the Burling
toil tracks , lies been caused by the questiot
of legality. Those interested requested l'It y
yw
Attorney Montgomery to examine the la w
for tit" purpose of ascertaining If there ar
any legal objections In the way of ereatln g
gr
n gracing district such as is proposed. It
referring to this matter yesterday Mr. Mont
gomery asserted that , in his opinion , such
a district could tint be legally created , lE
reason is that there Is already one grndin
I
district on M street , which extends frnn
Twentieth east to Twelfth , and the creatia u
of a district as proposed would ho inciudit
n
the district already created and graded f
the ungraded district.
The object of Including the property
east of Ttventletlt Street in the proposed ills
tract was to obtnln the required nunibe
of signatures and also enough nsscssab ! e
propenty to pay the cost of grading trot )
Twentieth to Twenty-fourth. The propert y
in these four blocks cannot stand the cost o
Kling the deep gullies between Twentlel h
and Twrnty second , as this work nlmn e
will cost $15,000. Those living cast o
Twentieth are willing , however , to be lnxel
for the filling of these big holes , provldiu
It can legally be done.
It lots been suggested that the object car
be attained by property owners petition
lug for a change of grade and including U
tltla petition the blocks from Twenty-fourth
street to the Burlingtcn tracks. That per -
tlott of M street now graded could then b c
lowered slightly and the big fills made it
conformance with hilt new grade.vhcthet
this would be legal is n question to be sub
inltted to attorneys far a decision.
Considerable interest appears to be team '
tested in the opening of this street to th e
river ! n order that a depot may he locate ( 1
on the Burlington tracks , There is scarcely
any doubt that if opened the street uouh 1
50011 be paved , making a fine , straight road
way from the heart of the city to the pro-
poser ! depot , as well as opening up n very '
desirable residence district.'Itlwut doub t
M street eon be opened at touch less cos (
that N and the expense Is of vital Imper'
tnnco to properly owners just mow ,
.tnuther i'as'l11g iIstriot Suit.
Another suit to test the legality of n pay -
lug district ordinance has been instituted iii
the district court. This time it is lh
:
Tsvcnty-fifth street paving which is to b
contested , The district ht question extend s
sn
from b to M and from 0 to Q and is kuow1 n
on the records as paving district No , 10 ,
work on the paving of this district wa s
conlmmleei by Contractor Hugh Murphy in
June , 1591 , and was completed in August ,
1592 , For ( ho laying of the pavement ,
which is of stone , a charge or $13,138,16 wa s
made and the curbing cost $1,718,40 , making
a total cost of $1.1,150.56. Up to the present -
ent about three-fourths of the property owners -
ers hr this district have paid their portion
of the taxes , lens'Ing the district in a fairly
good financial condition. Those who have
not paid the tax now assert irregularities it
the creation of the district , the passage of
the ordinances. and the letting of the con-
tract.
It may be possible for those who have
not yet paid this lax to escape it , the same
as property owners on Twenty-fourth street
are doing , but those who have paid will
have to commence individual suits in order
to get their money refunded. The bonds
issued' to pay for the cost of this work are
ten year bonds. and draw 7 per cent interest.
At the time this district was created and
the work performed \v , G. Sloane was
mayor and the city council was made up
of Patrick Rowley , J , C , Bowley , W , M ,
Wood , iJdward Conley , Patrick Daugherty ,
John J , O'Rourke , A , B. Haley and J. S.
Walters.
