tlsjs t art to Alt. 18.
Ths hearing on the motion to dissolve ths
injunction resrdln ths levylnt and col
Uctlon of taxes by the city of Omaha
aralnat In Burlington and Vnlon Faolflo
railways wai argued In chamber before
United Btaton District Judge Munger Friday
morning. Clly Attorney Wright presented
the argument for the city, and C. J. Oreeno
for the Burlington, nnd J. N. Baldwin for
the Union Pacific. The cane wan continued
until August II.
Mr. Wright atated In effect that the action
of the oltjr of Omaha and Ita officers in thin
case wee to secure an order of the court
to require the protesting railroads to give
a sufficient bond to Insure the city ajainst
any damages or loss by the delay in tho
collection of the taxes hereafter to be lev
led by the city against the railroads that
msy be caused by this injunction The law
was such that the city would not have any
opportunity to levy taxns against the rail
way companies at suit In this rase, for the
year 1K3, unless the same were levied be
fore PecemI er SI. The levy had hot been
made at the February nsesnment against
the railroads, but had ben purposely omit
ted from the assessment rolls with a view
to later adjudication.
"Prom the fact of this omission to levy a
tax against the Vnlon Pacific and Chicago
Burlington It Qulncy railways by the city,
these roads now seek to enjoin the city from
levying until tho statutory period for levy
ing a ta for the current year has expire!"
said Mr. Wrleht. Tho city will ha a no
power to levy this tax after the year has
gona by and the city will therefore ba de
prived of Just thnt amount of tases, aggre
gating $130,000 for tha current fiscal year.
Ilstitvln Admits Taxes Arc Dae.
Mr. Baldwin here observed that tho Union
Pacific dooa not deny that taxes ore due
from that road, but held that the valuation
fixed by the State Fionrd of Enutllxition
should control nnd rovcrn and not the4
assessment and levy that may h made by
the olty,
C. J. Greene, representing the Burlington,
stated In aubatntiee that the, motion was
that ,tli bond of H5.CO0 already given by
thnt railway, when applying for the In
junction, should be Ineraased.
"We have hot hsu an opportunity to
question the legality of excessive assess
ment, but wa have the right to litigate thfl
question to the end." he anld. "The city
may say that we should pay an assessment
upon a valuation of w.coo.cm or $7,000,000,
when that valuation ought not to exceed
$300,008 or Hoo.OfO. My position la not the
question of damagea, because of some over
Bight of tho legislature. The assessment
of the state uonrd must necessarily be flnil.
whatever the outcome of this eace. The
collection of these taxes has been delayed
becauao of defective powers In tho olty. tf
this Injunction ba dismissed, we shall be
In the position that the taxes shall remain
uncollected. If the case wss dismissed
the city has no recourse. Puch at least
would ba tho legal ronaequencoa of Mr.
Wright's theory. If wa dismiss this Case
today Mr. Wright will have to proceed
under some other section Of the law than
tha One he has quoted. The city has not
any right under th section of the, Charter
cited, but must proceed under tome other
clause. In fact, the city, by thU proceed'
ure, has ateeped outside of ita charter.'!
City Denies TtanaTrstuir
The court suggested that the city holds
that It did not Step outside of Ita powers.
"Suppoa that tho cats Of the railroads
fall and tha city succeeds, than tho city
say It will sustain damages In excess of
the bond tho railways have already given,
said tha Judge.
Mr. Greene held that the levy should have
been made In March or February. "The
city," ho said, ' la standing upon the Itrlct
construction of tho charter. The Burling
ton railroad has ho desire to put itself In
tho position of attempting to defeat tha
payment of legal taxes."
Mr. Baldwin Iri behalf of tha Union Pa
clflo said:
"Tho Union Pacific la willing to pay Ita
Just proportion of taxes and does hot W!n
to eacape Ita full duty by any technicality,
and la caalstlng In braiing its shore ef the
burdena of Uxitlon fo.' the milntnlnance
of tha government. It did, howevef, dial
lenge the Jurisdiction of the tax Commis
sioner. Tho taxea had already been levied
by the constitutional tiower of the state
and the Union Faclflc had tendered Ita taxes
aa determined by that power. Wa dislike to
complicate matter! by the Issuance of
new bend. We arc Just aa anxious to settle
this matter once and fcr all as la the city.
. W Insist upon the atate board levying
powers instead of the city. We want this
matter fettled now and forever. The Union
Paclfie will never rsst until tbe federal
courts settle this matter. It seems to me
that rather than to complicate -matters by
requiring the Issuance of a new bond that
th -court could grant an affirmative decree.
Wa will pay that tax."
Tha court stated that it unleratood the
contention of the attorneys and Would grant
a continuance to August 15. by which time
the attorneys could file memornnd and the
cause would be flnaily determined.

Commissioner O'Keeff ha been doing
aome Investigating on his own account sine
his resolution regarding the purchase of
fixtures for the vaulta waa referred to the
committe of th whole of the Board of
County Commissioners, and haa made sums
deductions from what h haa learned.
"In ths vault of tha county clerk," ho
said, "there were removed a large number
of Iron fixtures, which, so far aa I can ace,
are Identical with those which have been
placed there. Tha old fixtures are of th
same pattern, as a comparison will show,
and they are now lying In ths corridors.
A few old style Iron cases were removed,
but they were a useful a th new one,
and I can aee no reason why they should
have been changed.
"I llnd that out of tho total number of
612 square feet of fixtures placed In the
vaults 223 are useless practically, for tho
reason hat they do not fit any of the books
of the couhty clerk. It is admitted by the
contractor himself that one of the cases for
vhlch h has been paid will have to be re
placed before the contract will have been
complied with. The price paid for the fix
tures was about ft. 38 per square foot, to
Which wva added $110 for taking out tho tld
fixture and putting the new ones in place,
making a total cost of nearly $4,800 for tho
entire work. Upon this basis the county
has paid $2,00 mure than It should have
paid for the fixtures Which can be used aa
they were Intended to be used. It look aa
though the company had received a Job lot
of cases Which It could not dispose of, and
that the county had taken them off Ita
hand At A price In excess of what It ahould
have paid, when there was no necessity tor
buying any. Bo far as I can learn the vault
space Waa only Increased by the largor
amount of fixture purchased. If any, for
th old fixtures occupied the same space
for the Same rapacity, and If additional
apace waa required additions should have
been made to '.he old fixtures.

"I understand that tha register of deeds
desires some additional Sxturca and I am

want to have the order made before

pany to suppy the office with new fixtures

The state auditor found, upon examina

Attorney W. W. Moramun gave th above
answer when asked regarding the return
of tho articles of Incorporation of the new
company. Up to the present, Mr. Morsman
added, ha knows nothing more about the
matter, or why th articles have been
returned, than has appeared In the dally
papers, having had no personal or written
communication with tho state authorities
at Lincoln on the matter.
"It waa out of an abundance of caution,"
Attorney Morsman said, "that the articles
of Incorporation were sent to Lincoln, and
not tecause It was thought or believed
absolutely necessary to file them. There
are hundreda of companies, a fact which
la well known and admitted, doing tr.islhess
III Omaha and tha state which have never
filed their articles of corporation In Lincoln.
"There was no dispute whatever about
paying the fee, whler In tho ease of the

pre report tha attorney general of the

tion to the law passed In 1887. Thla law pro
vided that companies Incorporated In other
state m'ght file their articles and by a
resolution of th directtl-S accept tho pro
visions of the Nebraska. It waa a 'permis

be a mandatory law compelling such com

SEES MONEY FOR LINE TO FORT
President Kerr of Ilcllcrae Wants
Motor from Omaha to Fort
Crook, Passing Colieice,
President David R. Kerr of Ccllcvu col
lege, In speilc.lng of the sub.irban electric
line question and the lack of quick and
Cheap transportation facilities between
Omaha and the college, Said:
"The army officer who was Interviewed a
few day ago by The Bea wltn reference to
the Importance of a elreet car !no to fort
Crook Is right. Omaha la not getting any
thing like the value of the location of Fort
Crook which ia poraible, If tho electric line
to P'ort Crook should be ao located as to
pass near to Bellevuo college the line would
add verv lareelv to ita iarnlnas. In the
J first place, Omaha does not yet have a
scenic route In any direction. Many per-
sons would be attracted to tske frequent
street cat- tides if the tae led them to at
tractive scenery nnd fresh air. To V jlld a
street car line down the valley from SoJth
Omaha to Fort Crook would mis bcth
I soenery and fresh air, nnd would be such a
I line as people would avoid as much as poa-
slble. On the other hand. If a line were
built from the center of South Omaha along
the ridge and bluffs, as direct as povible
to Bellevue college. It would r.avo both
these advantages In the highest ugree that
is possible 'n any direction out of the two
cities cf Omaha. The ccenery along the
bluff Is magnificent and the temperature at
this season averages 0 degrees lower than
In the surrounding valleys.
"Another advantage of projecting thla
route by way ot Bellevue la that It would
have a much larger patronage through the
I atudent attendance at the college. With
auch transportation ciany atudents would
attend the college from Omaha and South
Omaha and would patronise the route daily.
If the line should provide for carrying
freight tho advantage would be still greatly
Increased. During the last twelve months
Bellevue college has received more than
twenty-flvo ears of freight In arload lota,
bealdoi a proportional amount of freight lh
smaller lota. An electric line provided for
carrying freight would receive all of this
traffic. If the street car people are looking
for a euburban line which will pay, they
hove no other opportunities half equal to a
line projected to Fort Crook by way of
Fellevuo college. Both the college and the
I j-oet will recure for them a largo patronage,
I nd a route as attractive as thu bluff route
' would be would attract many passengers
Vho would not care to go to either the col
lege or the post."
