comber, 1896, running for a trtn "of froth
one to ten year, with an annual rental or
from $1 to $1110 per year. Nearly all of
these lease expired before and during the
yer lirOL I was unable to ascertain
whether the money culled for in said lease
had been regularly collected. A to the
leasing and releasing of theee various prop
erties there euem to have been nothing
done since 1M7. 1 -
I believe that, at the least calculation,
$100,0110 could be realised by the city of
Omaha from these various properties
through the earnest co-operation of the
executive, legls'ative and legal depart
ments. The ilrst thing to be done, how
ever, is the getting up of a complete rec
ord of what the city own how and by
whom occupied, and by . what authority.
To do this will require a great amount
of surveying and a complete search of all
records. In this connection, 1 also wish
to mention the various strips of parts of
street which were n.trrowed some ten or
fifteen years ago. About one-half of theoe
atrlps were purchased at the time by the
adjoining properly owners at tho ap
praised vultiHtloti made, amounting to
from $.100 to $!6,0uo, opposite each lot, since
which time theso parties have been paying
botli regular and special taxes upon thee
strips. On the other hsnd, those who Old
not purchnse have taken possession of
same and some have put buildings thereon.
They refuse, however, to pay the taxes
levied ot same, nnd It Is only recent'y
that the Ames estate, owning the lot .ad
joining one of these strips, in a communi
cation to the oounell, refused to pay a
sidewalk tax on account of the city own
ing the strip lying between their property
and the street. They also raised trie same
question when Chicago street was repsved.
nnd on the recommendation of the city at
torney the cost of the repavlng opposite
tho strip was taxed to the city,, and yet
they are occupying the same.
Applies to Wslteley Property,
This also applies to the Wakeley resi
dence on Chicago and Nineteenth street.
winning ine ir-pw 011 me 111 ine cuy
comptroller' ofllco I find a deed to Mr.
Wakeley for this property, properly exe
cuted and having a consideration of $.1(10;
but for some renaon It has marked upon
it the word "rnnce'ed." The amount In
the 'deed, I suppose, represents the bid
made by Mr. Wakeley. Tbere mny also
be some eases where parties have paid
the amount bid for strips, but for some
reason, probably an oversight, they deed
has never been Issued, or, if issued, there
Is no record of same. This eems to have
been the rase with J. E. Boyd, a shown
bv a resolution recently passed by the
city council dlrectlnir the nwor to deed
to 3. E. Boyd the strip opposite thl prop
erty, for the reason that Mr. Boyd had
purchased said strip, giving the date and
amount of said purchnse. I do not believe,
however, ' that tnere are many such caies,
but what there Is of them, f any. will
no doubt develop when notices nre rerved
on thee Turtles to vacate.
Another matter which I believe Is wrong
Is the leasing of any city property for a
immlnal num. A f"lr market price should
be had In each case, 1
Mr. Peterson Is working on hi report
to bring It up to date and show condition
a they are today.

STOP CUT IN SUGAR RATE
Allied Railroads Respond to Appeal of
Jobbers to Hold Off.
THREATENED WAR ' QUICKLY AVERTED
Hurry-l'p Call Sent Oat by Trans
portation Conipa.ule In Chlcaajro
Result Mean Much Good to
Omaba Men.
The threatened sugar rato war, almost
precipitated yesterday by a cut of 6 cents
by the Milwaukee to become effective at
once, and by the Burlington to take effect
August 25, was nipped In tho bud.
A hurry-up call of raflroad official rep
resenting the roads doing the cuttlug and
other northern road was made at Chicago
and the old rate will stand. These rate
were fixed at a meeting held some time
ago In Chicago at which time, the rate from
Now York to Omaha was fixed at (7 cents,
and from the gulf to Omaha at 87 cent.
Thl was an Increase for the gulf roads
from 32 cents. The gulf road during the
last few day havo been claiming their neW
rate was too high, consequently they have
been losing much of the sugar trade. This
Inspired them to go back to the old rate.
The Burlington and the Milwaukee re
taliated by making the 6-cent rate, which
it would have been - Impossible for the
southern road to meet withaut a great
losa of money.
Such a reduction In rate meant much to
Omaha Jobbers and rail day Saturday the
wire were kept hot to Chicago for In
formation. All of the Jobber are heavily
stocked with eugar for the trad of next
month and thl wa bought under the h'gh
rate and would have to be disposed of un
der tho low rate, meaning a losa of the
difference.
Bald a well Informed Jobber: "The effect
of the cut in rate would be severe lo to
Omaha Jobbers. We have laid In large
stocks of sugar under the high rate to pre
pare for the large trade of next month
and this would have to be sold In accord
ance with the cut. It would mean a heavy
loss to the owner of eiignr beet mills also,
a they would have to shrink their profit
to meet the decreased rate. In Nebraska
and rtah. the mill have Just begun to
grind, while the California miller have
started their shipments. It will be roine
ten days, however, before the products of
these mill reach the eastern markets, a
they supply their wes'.-rn trade first, but
they, too, will likely cum In for heavy
lo."

DISEASE IS A DEAR ARTICLE
Intelligent I .ana Might Save Much
Waste of Health, Life and
Money.
By careful calculation the cost of ma
larial fever In Texas alone Is estimated by
Dr. Woldert to be at least $0,000,000 a year
and probably nearer $10,000,000. One person
In twelve in some pluces Is down with the
disease. What a good business plan It
would be to ave three-fourtha or nine
tenths of this wasted money by preventing
the disease. No physician doubts the possi
bility; the methods of prevention are well
known and are easily carried out.
The public, however at leuut Its law
makers cannot be brought to reallxe the
wisdom of nich economy. Money can be
found for "Junketing tours." public build
ings of a political character, and a hun
dred less necessary measures, but nothing,
or next to nothing for stopping the greyest
losa to the community that from disease.
For every dollar spent to pay public health
officers arid the cx'nse of preventive medi
cine there can be $110 saved.
' It Is thl financial aspect unfortunately
that must be emphasised, and which, long
enough and louilly enough reiterated, may
ut lust bring about some attention and
practical lawmaking on the part of our
legislative txxlles. H.miis plantbriUt
should give a $Ufo prUu for the bctt essiy
on the subject, "The Jxpenne of Dli.ei.Mi
