P. F. Campbell of Georgetown ,
w s among our friendly callers
Saturday. Mr. Campbell has
taken an active interast in the
proposed Grand Island , South
Loup ' and Gandy electric railway ,
ind'still eels that the project
ould be built ifthose along the
jroposcd route would manifest
sufficient intcrest. But up to the
present that lms not been done.
He informs us that when the
! : ! traw vote was taken last fall in
the several township to ascertain ,
wliether they would favor bonds s
\ for the road , that only ten of the
sixteen townships along the proPos -
Pos d line respondcd , and in
f1 se townships where the vote
w s taken there were those who
gave active opposition.
, " Whcn the BccretarJ' at Grand
Isl'and sent out letters to capitalists -
ists , giving the data gatbered ,
ith the hopes of enlisting an
interest I , no response was receiv- [ J
, d f om any of them. He regards -
gards that the causc of tbis was
because so few of the townshjps
ad. : made a showing , and the
ctive opposition by some along
th 'proposed ' rout . He argues
th t if the residen ts along the
r osed route havc not enough
j'uierest to take the prehminary
* s to secure a survey and ea-
imate of cost of building and
q ipping the road , that capital-
i 'wi11 not be inclined to invest
in'the enterprise.

road and the cost of water power

requisites necessary to success.

Some two or three weeks ago I
the officers of the county board
by authority of the board entered
into a contract with S. O. Salisbury -
bury , an attorney of Lincoln to
pay him one half the proceeds of
any amount he might fin < l due
from the state to the county
Llrising froni over payment of
: \tate taxes. It appears that
Salisbury had made thediscoyery
that a number of the countieS ! of
tbe state had ballances to their
: redit with the state treasurer
lrising from the county treasurers
paying to the state treasurers
lUore than the amount charged
19amst them.
His theory was that as these
lmounts were usually small no
me county could afford to go the
xpense of ascertaining the
Lmount due , but as he would
nter into a' contract ' 'lith several
) f the counties he could afford to
nake the research of the records
; ltat was nccessary , but that he
: ould not afford to do it for less
; han 50 per cent of the claims.
rhe boarel not being aware of any
, uch claims against the state en-
ered into contract with Salisbury
In his own terms. It was upon
earning that the board had made
: hat kind of a deal Senator l 'ries
ooked the matter up in the state
rcasurer's office and found that
he records showed that Custer
: ounty had paid to the state
reasurer for the year of 1895 ,
; 3,399.57 more than was cbarged
Lgainst the county. He writes
lS that he at once filed a claim
'lith the legislative claim com-
nittee to have the amount re-
'unded to Custer county without
he assistance of Mr. clalisbnry.
Ie thinlcs the board acted hastily
II cntering into a contract to
) ay him 50 per cent Qf what he
ould fi d due the county , au
uggests that had the county
loard requ stcd him or either of
he othel' two lUembem of the
egislature from Custcr to look
he matter up they would huvt :
ludly done it without the county
taving inctlrcc1 one cenlof ex-
) cuse.
As it 1I0W stands should the
: ounty get tbe $3,399.57 ue it ,
neans that Salisbury will get
taU of it unless some citiZefl files

can assure the tax payers that
I will be done.
I The 1895 tux was levied the
/ year of J. H. Brown's admin.
istration as treasurer , but under
the old law did not become due
and delinqu nt until the year
following. For the four succeeding -
ing years when most of the 95'
tax was dou btless collected H.
Lomax was treasurer , but as
there has becn delinquent taxes
collected on 95' by every trcasurcr
since , the paymenl of the excess
evidently can not be justly charged -
ed up to anyone treasurer with.
out an investigation of the re-
cords.
The error , if oue is lUore than
likely due to corrections made
by the county clerk's , in making
up the tax list from which he
certified the ilmonnt due the
state auditol' .
The corrcctions are usual made ,
one at a timc as the tax payer
finds an I rror , in his taxes and
the corrections are not certified
to the state auditor and thc original -
inal charge stands against the
county right or wrong , for more
or less. In this particular year
of 95' it al > pears there was a
large number of erro1' ! or one
large one made by the county
clerk in his certificate.

' [ 'he ord nance furl her pro\'illes
that parties usillg one or nore

dollar a 1I10nth for scnkc over
the entire Ccntral tclephon's : -

allowed cbargcd. Thc 'l'elcphone i
Co. is rcquired to keep and maintain -
tain good and elTicient operators ,
in its central office at all hours
of the day and night and to furnish - :
nish good and prompt gervice. i
The Telephone Co. is required
I
to keep all receivers and wire in
good working order without additional -
ditional expense to the subscribers -

company shall forfeit double the

: 'rite ordinance as a whole is 011
, the liues that the com pan ) ' ha\'c
been doing- business sinc its
tirst organization , the main dill' .
erencc is that the terms are now
fixed hyordinance. A ncw feature -
ure is making the c01l1pany rcs-
ponsible for double the rate , for
; allowing the phone or lines to re-
I 111ai n out of order , aIIII making
thc connecting with county IUles
obligatory and fixing the rate for I
conncct ons. Upon the ' , holc , .
I the ordinance al' ' > pears fair to the :
telephone company , outsidc lines
and Ute pubHc in gcneral. 'J'here
is a question in thc minds of
some if it would nol have becn
bctter to have given the Central
'l'elephone Co. an exclusive fr ii-
chise , with the provisions for the
county lines to connect and then
charged the telephone company a
reasonable fee for the franchise
right , for the benefit of the city I
finances.
An exclusive franchise would
.
have made the plant wortb a I
- _ . - - - - - - - - .
,
great deal more to llt ( ' company , ;
and it could well ha\'c alrordc to
well paid the city out of the in- I
crcased value. 'L'he company
cOllld ha\'e well affonlell to have
issued stock to the amount of tcn
thousand or fiftecn thousand
dollars to tbe city for an cxclu ive
right for tcn ) ' ars and then had
a good margain of profit lcft.
