Many com plaints wore filed and n number of changes made by the board on Individual property. "Notices had boon sent to tho corporations to attend during tho afternoon and show cause why their assessments should not be raised. As a representative of Cud fehy Attorney M. L. Sears appeared. He made a lengthy argument and tried to show what tho packers hnd dono for South Omaha. In fact, he virtually admitted that tho packers had dono every thing except pay their proportion of tho tuxes' Mr. Scars asserted that the packers now paid ono-flfth of the taxes of the "city. Going Into detulls further he said that If tho Cudahy plant were placod on the mnrkot It would not sell for Its as sessed valuation. -This statement appeared to amuse the board nnd tho bystanders aa 'wall. When Mr. Se.ua had finished City Attorney Lambert replied that tho question , before the Hoard of Review was not one of -equity, but one of law, and that If the packers desired relief from the law nn ap--peal to the legislature would bo necessary. Councilman Ed Johnston followed Lam- ..bert with a comparison of the values of .the packing plants at St. Josoph. Kansan City and South Omaha. Those figures havo been published In Tho Bee and there Is no .noerl of a repetition. ( When "Next" was called A. N. Benn, ''general manager of tho Omaha Tacking .-.company, camo to tho front nnd tried to ' tell what a little plant he had. He didn't know much about values. Ho had no Idea whHt the plant he works for was worth, ' neither .had; he tho slightest conception of the value of tho ground upon which the -'-plant stands. On account of Mr. Benn's seeming Ignorance he was -allowed to go with but a brief cross-examination. . Attorney A. L. Sutton appeared for the .. Hammond company and made a long talk; 'llo not only pleaded but threatened. When It began to look as If the Hammond as cessment would not bo lowered Sutton threatened to carry tho case to tho district 'land the supremo courts and thus keep the ,' city out of. the use of the tax money which should be coming to It. When asked about ' values Sutton declined to stnto what ho 1 ihnncht tlia Hammond nlant worth. T. C MeDonijlJ, a builder, was railed and asked wnat mo iinmnioim mnmings were worm but ho admitted that ho did not remember although he. erected soveral of the build Mngs. No ono appeared for Swift or Ar vmour's. For the Union Stock Y.rdi J. J. Breen appeared. Ho started out by telling vvha Jam CfAFltiG, MOSQUITO MP Caution.

He appeared to think that tl'P $"?,000,C00 corporation was valued entirely too high when tho assessor had put It down as $133,000. Breen before en- K.ifiin? In the practice of law whs a car- prnor and builder. Councilman Johnston questioned htm on values a llttlo nnd Breei admitted that tho Exchange building was orth $100,000 and the office cf the yards ompnny $20,000. When naked to place a price on tho 177 acres of land owned by the yards company Mr. Breen atntcd that s farm land It might be worth $25 an acre. On being pushed a llttlo narder Brem finally cnld that possibly the lund was worth $600 or $700 an acre.- Before leaving tho wltncs3 stand Mr. Breen virtually admitted that tho stock yards property was worth something like $600,000. On cross-examina tion one feature was brought out which ap pears Important. That was the fact that Breen bad previously filed a complaint gainst the Hammond company,' alleging that the assessment was too low. After hn had been engaged by the Stock Yards com pany to represent It before tho Board ot Review ho wlthdrow the Hammond com plaint. Along toward the close of tho session Ed Johnston asked the board to reduce tho valuation of certain property so that It would be assessed at the same proportion ate valuation as other property, or that tho corporation property be increased to a fair cash valuo as required by the laws of the state. Johnston's written protest reads as fol lows: Tho east 100 feet ot lot 6, block 78, was assessed $3,400 this year, while In 1900 It was $1,700. Lots 6 and 6 In block 60 this year aro assessed at $210. while last year they were $120. Lots 2 and'8 In block this year $200; last year $110. Contln ulng Johnston shows that the packers and yards have been Increased this year at this rato: Union Stock Yards, 65 per cent; Cudahy, 40 per cent; Armour, 45 per cent; Swift, 40 per cent; Hammond, 48 per cent; Omaha, 3S per cont. After reading these figures Mr. Johnston said to the members ot the board: "You will please notice that the property on which 1 ask correction has been In creased 100 per cent. I hardly consider the assessment n proper one and especially .when compared with the slight increase in the nssesFment o the packers and the stock yards." Tho Board of Review is supposed to com- plete Its labors today. City Council Meetlm. At laBt night's meeting of tho city coun ell all members of the council were pre3 ent.vlth President Adkins In tho chair. Martin brought up the matter of more voting precincts and this will be attended to nt a meeting to he held next Monday afternoon. Tho mayor has been empowered to appoint n committee to arrange the pre clncts. This committee will look Into the matter and arrange the precincts according to the voto of tho wards. It is estimated that not less than twelve precincts will be required for the coming fall election and It is nosslblc that thero may bo more. At present the city Is divided Into ulno voting precincts. Tho opening of Missouri avenue to the river Is now on assured fact, as the coun ell accepted the proposition of Herman Kountze and has directed the clerk to draw a warrant for $100. on .condition of Mr. Kountzo vacating certain pieces of prop erty The city has accepted the .conditions Imnoscd by the donor and Street Commlo loner Clark will at once go to work to comply with the orders of the council 1 this respect. The result will be that, thero will bo nn open road to the' river within a short tlm and that the ferry and pontoon landing will be thereabouts.' A street car line Is also projected on Missouri avenue In order t assist the ferry and when all tbU Is don the people In the eastern part ot the city will have transportation galore. 1 nil Biagnani poui oruumuto wnicu id numbered 1015 was passed and hereafter the city will have Jurisdiction over all pools of stagnant water. Treasurer "Koutsky said that It would be necessary to borrow the sum of $3,204 to meet July 1 maturities and the mayor and finance committee were authorized to nego tiate the loan. Several sidewalk and street repair resolu tions were passed and then the city fathers derided to take a rest for ono week. Aililltlonnl Tenvliera Elected.

Sloane, Twenty-fifth and I streets, the proposed flower parade, to bo held during the street fair, was discussed nt length and the following ladles declared their Intention ot entering tho contest: Mrs. James P. Phillips, Mrs. J. B. Watklns, Mrs. II. E. Tagg, Mrs. A. R. Kelly, Mrs. W. B. Check, Mrs. J. G. Martin, Mrs., A. J. Caughey, Mrs. C. A. Melcher, Mrs. Ed Munshaw, Mrs. August Miller, Mrs. P. A.

Tanner, Miss Florence Smith and Miss Fannie Slabaugh, KlUKtTHld llneU In Oilier, James J, Fitzgerald Is again acting as tax commissioner of South Omaha. At 9 30 yesterday morning Fitzgerald's lawyers, reinforced by the attorneys for the South Omaha packers and stock yards, ap peared before Judge Baker and made a motion to vacate the order by which Fitz gerald had been suspended. They said that Fitzgerald had been elected tax commissioner by the people and there was a question as to whether or not the dis trict court had a constitutional light to suspend or remove him from office. The board of review was required by law to finish Its work on Monday midnight, and unless Fitzgerald was allowed to sit as a member ot the board the tax assessment would be Jeopardized and possibly In validated. There Was no question as to Fitzgerald's right to act on tho board of review ns tax commissioner do facto, but there was a gravo question as to tho legality of Cnrley's appointment as acting tax commissioner. Judgo Baker ssld that In deference to public policy and In order not to Jeopardize the South Omaha tax levy, ho would modify his order of Saturday so as to re instate Fitzgerald as tax commissioner. Thi3 modification, said tho Judge, would end the service of Carlcy as acting tax commissioner, for he had been appointed to act only during the suspension of Fltz gora'ld. The part of Saturday's order sot ting tho hearing on tho charges and speci fications In Impeachment proceedings for Thursday morning remains In force. The action of Judgo Baker practically disposed of the Injunction proceedings In Judge Fawcett's court, nnd that case waB, therefore, dismissed when called. Fitzgerald, In his application for an in junction, charged that Mayor Kelly, Car ley, Stanley and Aldermen Johnston, Dworak and Miller had formed a con spiracy to oust him from office and to "ralso the valuation on corporate prop ery In South Omaha." He declared that tho valuations placed on corporato prop erty by himself wero Just and fair. Mniiic City OoMfilp. Dan Hnnnon Is engaged In grading fcr additional tracka nt Cudnhy's.
