TERMINAL FIGHTS A RAISE
Threatens . to Qo Into Court if Board
Increases Its Valuation.
GOVERNOR NOT AFRAID OF THE COURTS
Board Dlipoiril to Make the Ralae
la Spite of Fact Company Maln
. tain Ita Stock la
Valueleaa.
(From a But ft Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 6. iSpeclal.) Governor
Mickey today told Qenerul Manager Web
Iter of the Omaha Bridge & Terminal
lompany that the board would obey the law
and assess that corporation at its true
value regardless of the threat of litigation
made by the Omaha man, when he had
been Informed by the governor that the
assessment would probably be raised from
(lCU.tOO to :CK),0W. Webster declared that
ttny such lncreaso was unjust and would
force the company to resort to the courts.
"Wo can't help that," said the governor.
"We will obey the law and assess tho
property at as near tho true value as pos
sible. Wo have nothing to do with the
suits and cannot regard the possibility of
litigation In making assessments.
By spending an afternoon before the
board, the general manager of the com
pany was partially successful in convincing
that body of the poverty of the concern.
and there Is a disposition to increase the'
assessment less thun 100 per cent.
During the hearing the governor fre
quently called attention to the statement
f Webster that the property Is now con
trolled and owned by the Illinois Central
for the purpose of having an Omaha ter
minal, lie thought that the property
should have been Increased In value by
that transaction, and Intimated that he
did nqt regard the assessment mndo lust
year as a fair standard.
Jle again announced the purpose of the
beard to assess the loases ct the Milwaukee,
Great Western. Wabash and other Hue
lining the Union 1'aclfio terminal under
lehui.
Bay Stork la Ynlnrleaa.
Webster raid that the stock of the com
pany was worth practically nothing, al
though It had been listed at 1 per cent on
the dollar with the board. He stated that
the $1.600. OX) of bonds bad been Issued at
ST. The Illinois Central paid 11,000,000. Ho
saM that he thought the property was
worth over that amount, but not $1,500,000.
In response to questions Webster stated
that he did not consider it a profitable In
vestment for the Illinois road since It was
obliged to meet the Interest charges on the
"bonds, amounting to about $70,000 a year,
while other roads were getting the same
service from the Union Pacific at a cost of
$48,000 a year. He said he had been given
to understand that the Illinois Central had
already lost- $500,000 on account of the pur
chase and gave It as his opinion that the
terminal business had been overdone.
Treasurer Mortensen produced a state
ment showing that the company is credited
with twenty-four miles of track In Ne
braska, whereas the statement filed with
the board accounts for only eleven miles,
a large portion of which Is sidetrack. Web
ster insisted that his engineer had accu
rately "chained" off the track and the
statement was correct. A blue print drawn
to a scale was produced to prove the state
ment. A portion of the track, he said, was
not owned, but held under trackage right.
He absolutely denied that the lots were
worth more than. $3,000 when questioned as
to their value compared with the property
owned by the Union Pacific. ,
The board spent the entire day with the
representative of this" company In Its ef
forts to get at the true value of the prop
erty. After the session Governor Mickey
announced his opinion that the plea of
railway companies for reduction because
tholr Investments In some Instances had not
proved to be good payers ought not to be
regarded any more than a similar plea of
the farmer or business man whose busi
ness falls to pay a largo return. He clings
to the opinion that tho terminal property
has Increased considerably in value since
its acquisition by tho Illinos road.

In this county whichever man loses will

ful that he will be able to win out, as
they claim that he has the prospects of

scouted by the supporters of District Judges

Attorney F. L. Weaver of Omaha, repre
senting E. C. Spinney of the Bankers' Union
of the World, stated today that a manda
mus suit would be instituted against Audi
tor Searle to compel him to Issue a license.
Today the auditor made a formal ruling
rejecting an amended application by Spin
ney's company, on the ground that it did
not comply with the requirements of tho
Btatute. The first application was rejected
April 6 on the same ground. One of the
principal objections made by the auditor
to the statement was its failure to cor
rectly set forth the membership and the
financial condition. Suit will probably be
filed In Lancaster county.
