Opinions of Tax Payers on a
Pertinent Subject.
CITY DRAINAGE IS INADEQUATE ,
A Long Suffering Public Implores Re
lief From Mud Holes , Frog Ponds
nnd Wftsh-Outs , Question Referred
to the City Administration , -
The proper mul economical drainage
of Norfolk ' IH n question tlmt ban
boon before the people for tunny yearn
past , When there were but a few in
terested the powers tlmt 1m have boon
nblo to pass it by with llttlo or no atten
tion , but with the private work tlmt him
b'oou done in the way of grading mid
drainage it linn assumed n phase tlmt
claims the ixttonthn of a largo uuinbor ,
if not u majority , of the property owners
of the oity. It Is conceded tlmt the
original trouble lies with the Hltuntton
on Thirteenth Btroot , whore the water
from the hills north and wont of the rosl-
doiioo portion ( fathom on the occasion of
every heavy rnln and forms n fronhet
that damages public and private property
h inestimably. Particular attention 1ms
been drawn to the situation by tho'
heavy rains of this spring and summer.
Tint Nnws has frequently and porsla-
toutly Insisted that the situation is one
demanding the unprejudiced and care
ful attention of the oity officials , and
now tlmt 60 many have boon aroused to
BOO it likewise the columns of the paper
nro reopened to n discussion of the ques
tion with the hope tlmt there will bo no
lot np until conditions are materially
changed. It may bo said for the pros-
out administration tlmt an oiTort wan
made last year to solve the Thirteenth
Btroot drainage quostlou , but the storms
of the season have proven that Buoh
Improvement was totally Inadequateand
the situation must bo handled on a
much broader scope. Not only has the
work douo proven Inadequate but the
improvements of private owners have
made the question of much broader Im
port BO that every person owning property
orty east of Thirteenth and south of
Malu has become Interested.
As offering loss OXCUNO for the condi
tion , the natural advantage for drainage
of the land on which Norfolk is located ,
is pointed out. It has a beautiful natural
Slope from thu oity limits on the west to
the Nortbfork on the east and from the
northern portion of the corporation to
the Ellchorn on the south. In its primi
tive state the laud was effectually
drained , the surplus waters finding their
way to the natural water channels ,
through and across fields , doing llttlo erne
no damage jbut civilization has interfered
with nature's plans aud obstructed the
natural flow of water until the quostlou
of restoring or improving natural con
ditions is brought to the attention of
residents with pertinency each year. A
competent engineer could so direct the
work of restoring natural conditions
that the situation would no longer because
cause for worry. The natural ohuimels
should bo reopened or others substituted
aud enough should bo kept in condition
that the surplus water might bo distrib
uted uud do no further harm. Many of
the roadside ditches that would naturally
carry off a largo portion of the water are
neglected and permitted to grow woods
nntil it wonld be impossible for them to
carry even a small amount of muddy
water without clogging and throwing
the flood into the road.
, The Main Htreet situation , while one
'of the most annoying , it would seem
oonld bo the most easily handled. Be
cause of its having been filled and
graded , the water that bothers does not
flow in aud only that which falls on the
street or flows off the sidewalks and
buildings needs attention. This , it would
appear , could bo effectually drained off
through the city sewer if connections
'with it wore made.
In the early port of this season a corn-
"mltteo on the beautifying of the cityap
pointed by the Commercial Olub , of
fered prizes for the best kept lawns ,
'gardens , back yards , etc. , in the city ,
'with the hope that the standard of
beauty throughout the resident portion
might bo raised. In their work of in
vestigation , the attention of the com
mittee was called to the frightful con
dition of streets and alloys , duo to poor
dralnago.or no drainage at all. Stagnant
pools covered with green souui , puddles
of sticky mud from which arise vocifer
ous odors and dangerous holes gutted by
rushing water on aide streets , are not
only not infrequent but exceedingly
common sights in Norfolk today.
Believing that this state of affairs waa
na'evil and disgrace to the community ,
the committee has asked TUB NRWS to
' "leel the public pulse in regard to the
matter and toward this end interviews
with n'few , of the business men and
property'owners of the city have been
secured.
Not all , but nearly every person approached
preached , expressed the opinion that
something ought to be done immediately ,
both with the business port of Main
street and the west end of the town. A
few favor paving , many wonld pat in n
onrb , others want catch basins put in
the sewer , and nearly all feel that Cor
poration Gulch should be given careful
attention and a permanent remedy.
Rev. W. J. Turner is chairman of the
. -committee and tho"othefa "meuibWa are ;

The following will show what some of
the people think about it :
H. H. Smith : Alloy-ways are bad ,
Strongly favor a onrb.
11. B. Welter i Would gutter Main
street and fix the gulch.
B. H. Trooy : Presume funds txro being
used , but not to best advantage.
J , Damn : Ought to have n curb.
Would bo cheaper than present system.
F. A. Boolor : Would like to see the
street paved. Sowogo ought to bo per *
footed.
A. Wilde : Streets and sidewalks are
bad but thorp is no money to do any
thing with.
J. B Maylord : The streets ought to
bo curbed by all moans. City can't nf-
ford to pavo. )
K , P. Woathorby : It Is a disgrace to
the town. Something ought to bo done
Immediately.
Asa K. Leonard ! ' Condition is fright
ful. Frog ponds in front and roar of
store nro unbearable.
O. J. Johnson : In some places the
'situation ' is critical. Some sort of
drainage is badly needed.
A. Deguor : If possible would like to
HOO Main street curbed , but treasury
dosu't warrant snob action.
P. J. Fnoslor : Grade streets np. No
need of onrb or paving. Oity ought to
spend 1500 on the guloh and fix It.
Uob't Utter : Something certainly
should bo dono. Would favor having a
competent engineer lay out a systonii
A. H Klosau : Wonld like to know
whore the poll tar goea. Condition at
proBOUt is abominable. Demands notion.
G. B. Salter : A careful study of the
situation should be inade by a competent
engineer nnd remedy made accordingly.
T. K. Odlorno : Mala Btroot should
ho guttered in some way , inexpensively.
The gulch will have to bo fixed and
fixed right.
O. Uhle : The city can't stop the rains
and It it overflows in the gnloh on ac
count of rains , that is the lookout of the
people effected.
S. G. Mayor : Something ought to be
douo , both with gulch and business por-
tiou. Would favor paving between
tracks and First street.
J. W. Humphrey : Fools that the
wretched couditiou of drainage ought
not to exist. Little grading and work
with a plow would help matters.
0. II. Johnson : Situation disgraceful.
LHttlo common Mine * in opening up
natural guttara down Main street. Old
ditch in west end should bo opened. '
Frank Davenport : Wonld have an
euglnef r figure out remedy for guloh
aud fix it. A llttlo money spent right
wonld bo bettor than the present system.
W. J. Gow : Guloh is the big prob
leiut and should be remedied perma
nently. Main street should be curbed.
Kearney is a town which has done this
with success.
0. P. Parish : With slimy slough
both In front and rear of store fools very
strongly on the subject. Favor ordi
nance requiring permanent walks and
curb. Wonders what a street commis
sioner is for.
J. Durlaud : Would like to know
whether or not Norfolk Is up to other
cities of its size in this regard. Pool of
mud in front of store is absolutely unhealthful -
of the disagreeable
healthful , to say nothing
agreeable feature.
G. A. Luikart : Wonld favor a curb
ing along Main street or paving between
tracks and First street. West end
should be remedred. Water could be
dammed with piles and rnn out slow
enough to be carried avyay.
John R. Hays : The water in the
west end has been tnrned from its natural
of residents
ural course npon the property
dents and something should unquestion
ably bo done. It is radically wrong and
people are not compelled to stand it.
L. 0. Mlttelstadt : The situation is
bad. Course now runs through lumber
yard and last year lost over $10CO. Had
to completely roplle yard. Some day
limo will set fire to buildings and city
will hear from insurance companies.
Dr. A. Bear : Remedy very simple.
Stop hauling dirt into gutters and keep
them open. Let every avenue north of
Main carry its own water , instead of
bringing it down to Norfolk avenue ana
then east. Wonld have nice street if it
was curbed.
O.S.Hayes : Main street is a dis
grace to any city of this size. Should
be curbed by populag subscription if by
no other way. Enough money has al
ready boon expended to pave it. The
gnloh situation is very bad and ought
by all means to bo fixed.
0. D. Jenkins : There is no drainage
system here except what nature laid
out. Be all right if man had not inter
fered. Sewage the only real remedy ,
grading might help. Has three foot
ditch in' front of residence on Ninth
street , which threatens disaster.
G. E. Moore : With germs of disease
in stagnant pools all over the city , it
would aeem that something ought to be
done. There are actually puddles with
green scum growing over them in the
heart of the business portion 'of the oity ,
Norfolk could have and ought to have
a good drainage system.
P , F. Bell : There ore two things
that a townmust.nave , before it will
over paw beyond the village stage.
They are a sewage system and paved
streets. There can never be a town
until waste matter and overflows are
drained off , With paved stream 6ouio
an nwakonlng of business In all cities of
this clasii.
N. A. Ralnbolti The dilatory man *
nor in which Norfolk has not been
drained , does not bestow upon the mu
nicipality any superabundance of credit.
The problem haa booomo dormant , but
ihould bo revived , agitated , carefully
considered and properly solved at an
early date. The unwholesome condi
tions demand attention , The fact is
this , town should have boon drained
long ago ,
0 , A. Alexander , manager of the
Dexter cold storage : The drainage
question li very pertinent to us as will
bo known when it la understood that wo
have pumped about 1,000 barrels of
water from our basement sluco the
heavy rains began. It did no material
datnugo but wo were compelled to
keep the pump going to prevent it. Wo
were compelled to ship out GOO cases of
eggs which would ordinarily have
boon kept in storage a mouth or
more longer. The conditions would
bo improved hero if the city would put
in a sluice connect Ing culverts under the
Union Pacific and Elkhorn tracks and the
beautiful slope to the river east of the
tracks would do the kost if the ditches
were cleared of woods. Not only wonld
this relieve the situation aa far as the
cold storage is concerned , but I am con
fident It would drain all this section of
the city south of Main and east of
Thirteenth street. The water must go
its natural course and the city should
see to it that such corn-so is kept open.

Another Line of Comparisons.
( Issued Under Authority of thu Uullronds of Nebraska. ) $ fpfc
m
In our former articles we have'made comparisons
showing the relative assessment of railroad property
with other property In the state of Nebraska. Wo
will continue to make these comparisons. They will
shojvr that the railroads have paid proportionately
more taxes than any other Interest in the state , but to
complete the line of comparisons , it will be necessary
for us to show that the railroads of Nebraska have
pild as much or more than other roads In the Trans-
Mississippi states.
No matter how taxes against railroads are col
lected , whether by excise or direct taxation , the gen
eral average shows practically the same. With the
railroads it is Immaterial to them' what the assessed
valuation of their property should be so lotions they
are not required to pay an undue amount per mile to
meet the requirements of taxation , and not in unfair
proportion to other property.
From the Inter-State Commerce Commission re
port for 19QO , we find that there were 83,176 miles of
railroad , lying weal of the Mississippi river. These
railroads paid 514,301,109 for taxes , which makes an
average of $171.45 per mile. These figures Include
every state and territory west of the Mississippi river ,
excepting the Indian Territory , where the tax on
railroads , being but $10.86 , is so low that we do not
include the sum in our estimates. If we did it.would
make the foregoing amount per mile a few dollars
less.
In this territory the average net earnings of all
the railroads amounted to $2,784 per mile.
In determining1 the value of the railroad property
there are several essentials that must be considered.
First : The volume of business that can be given
a railroad.
Second : The dlfllcnltles of operation.
Third : The tariffs allowed to be charged.
These three features must be taken into conjunc
tion in any estimate that should be made regarding
the value of the railroad property as op Investment.
A comparison of the railroads of Nebraska with
those of New York , Pennsylvania and Maryland
would be misleading unless these elements were
taken into consideration. In these states the rail
roads were furnished tonnage that enabled them to
handle 1,900,578 tons of freight and 202,902 passengers
for each mile of , railroad , while in this Trans-Mississ
ippi country , the railroads were furnished but 378,300

1900.A
A comparison of Nebraska railroads with those of
Massachusetts would be senseless , because in Neb
raska there arc 53.31 miles of railroad to serve each
10,000 people , while in Massachusetts there are but
7.SS for the same number ; or , with New Jersey , which
has 29.99 miles of railroad to each 100 square miles of
territory , while Nebraska has but 7.4. However , in
the comparisons we will select sections of railroad
in Nebraska which have a large business , and we will
pick out some eastern roads that handles approxi
mately the like character and volume of business and
make the comparison with those roads , showing the
taxes that they pay and the tax that is paid here. It
will be found that in those instances the roads of
!
Nebraska pajr relatively higher taxes than they
should be called upon to do.
The critics who make a comparison of the tax per
mile charged in the District of Columbia , with that
charged on western railroads , evidently intend to de
ceive , from the fact that the city of Washington has
outgrown the District of Columbia , and the 52 miles
of railroad wjjlch arc reported in that district are
practically all city property. A comparison of a Neb
raska railroad with the New York Central , a four-
track railroad with $57,000,000 , worth of equipment
alone , would not be fair , but we will give the people
of Nebraska the details of taxation in these other
states , for the purpose of letting them make their own
conclusions and judge whether the railroads in Neb
raska are paying their just share of tax , when com
pared with other railroads.
There are but a few states in the Union in which
the railroads pay 15.4 per ce.nt of the taxes paid while
in the territory west of the Mississippi the railroads
in Nebraska pay more per mile than sixteen of the
other states. Thrqe mining states oblige the rail
roads to pay-more than they do in Nebraska , but it la
a well known fact that'tax levies in mining counties
are much higher than in any other localities in the
United States.
Our statement will show what the railroads pay
to each county the average rate per mile , and from
these you will bo able.to judge whether the people
are being treated fairly in this matter. ,
There is no necessity to conceal anything on the
part of the railroads , as tkey have borne and bear
their just share of the taxes.
