LINCOLN , February 26. AB I
lelegraphed , rdnato file No. 40 was
votel to a third reading Friay ;
evenint ; . It catua up for passage Sat
urday mornlcg. Quite an interest
.ng debate precgadod the third rid
ing of the l.ilL
Mr. Fredorlcks , of Howard had
"voted in 1879 f-if the tax on n.il-
roads to be spread out over the whole
line. " Thia w a necessary for the
operation of the whole rosd. The
machine she s were maintained for
the wLole rosd. Every cou itry
member should vote pro-rata.
Mr. Howe wu glad to see the mem
bers all co-He to the eatue conclusion
on this bill. They had given the
cities all they asked for.
Mr. Whedon said if any ono were
to compare these bills he would ants
that the counties get more tixes
by local taxation than through a state
board of equalization. "The coonties
will not lose anything they get now.
If we don't pass this we don't get
anything. "
Mr. Ransom said senata file N > . 40
was a very important measure to the
people. Evidence of this was given
in tne fact that tiie aiilroada had wor > - -
ed EO hard to defeat it and other bills
on the subject
Mr. McSb.aue wanted to show th jse
opposed to the bill the disadvantage
the interior counties have under the
law of 1879. Tue depots are uppiais-
oa by the state board of eqaaliza'Iou
The appraisement is made upo : .
the depot and grounds and road bed.
Depots that cost two and three ihju-
sand dollars in the country ; the oue
ia Omaha which cost 8100,000 , aud
the one at Lincoln which cost 815,000
were appraised by the state be ard at
? 100 each. What benefit do interior
counties receive by such appraisement
as that ? The same question nroeo in
regard to dep it grounds tkst cnec two
or three thousand dollars par tcro
which are appraised at twenty dullara
per acre.
Mr. Frause , of Cuming Whoso
fault it if surely it is not the fcnlt
of the law.
Mr. McShane Tno state boaid
know nothing of the value of tbesedf-
pot grounds. They take the word t f
the railroad mancgers for It , r.nd tale
it for granted that the railroads return
to them to true valuations. Now un
der this senate file No. 40 , these di-pot
grounds that arc outside of the right
of way are assea ed by the product
assessor , consequently the revenue
goes into the county treasury for the
benefit of the county. Let us see why
the railroad companie * deure a state
board In preference to precinct
assessors. One of the gen
eral managers stated to
members on this floor : I-W ob
ject to being aeseseed by the pr. ciuci
assessors for thU reason : Our line
runs through 125 precincts iu this
state. Precinct assessor * deintnd of
us annual passes over our road , and
say to us that unloaa the pb : is forth
coruinglhey will raise our asc-stmeiit. "
I don't behfive this. Thsy only desire
sire under the authority of the county
cummlAaioners to assess railroad pro-
x-rty just the same ai yours or mine
for local , school and municipal pur
potes.
potes.Mr. . Montgomery , of Furna , Es'd
it seemed to him that the-gentlemen
[ rum the cities were very anxious
about the country's welfare. "Now
we ihmk we are able to take cir-i of
ourselves. We ezpsct to know lu w
to vote on this without any dictation
from them They conw in here wirh
intimidatiun. Under this bill these
people expect to reap a revenue by tax
ation on this ntilroad property in rnly
on locality ; ai < d in top of that they
expect that the people of this state
will p y the taxation. Itlstruuth.it
the railroad companies pay it , b'lt
they wtll KO out into the country and
increase their rates to pay thij tax
That is why we are opposedto this bill.
Wo don't want to pay the expense of
keeping up these cities. The law we
now have is a good one , if enforced
Mr. Ransom , of Ocoe : Will you
tell us why a railroad company oan-
ing property within city limits should
not pay cily taxes 1
Mr. Slocumb , of Jefferson , said it
was not a question between the rail
roads and the people , but between
the country and the cities. He op
posed the bill
Mr. McShane asked him what
benefit his county would derive from
an aisessmcnt of a depot at $100 ,
which cost $15,000 , aa is the case
with the Lincoln depot.
Mr. Slocnmb said it was not i
fault of vhe law. The railroads did
not fix the valuation on any proper
ty. If thesj depot grounds were dot
assessed enough it is the fault of the
board. The board of equalization
bad taken groit pains to make an
equitable appraiement on all prop
erty. They bad o llid before them
the best attorneys in the state , Mr.
Rosewater and others , and had sought
all the information obtainable on the
subject. The other bills before the
house were all that is needed. Bens *
roll No. 1 was fully equal to the de
mands of the ca e aud would piss
both houses.
Mr. Whedon a'd that tenito file
No 40 was tEe only bill before'the
legislature which provides for the tax
align of franchises.
Mr. Broatch wantud the railroads
to pay city Ux. It was unfair that
the citizens be required to pay taxes
on property which adjoined property
of the railroads which was 'exempt
He made a forcible argument in sup
port of his position.
Mr. Hollman took the same gmuucj
as did Mr. M"ntgomery.
Mr. Jcckson , rf Douglas , explained
his vote as follows. Being desirous
of acting in good faith toward our
rural friends who assisted na in pass
ing house roll No 1 , which I think
every member of Douglas connty were
satisfied with , I vote no.
The clerk re-ad the biI ! and called
the roll. The bill was lost by a vote
of 44 to 34
It is rather strange that thi * bill
could be ordered to a third reading
one day by a vote of 46 aud th nnxi
day muster only 34 supporters. When
an adjournment was voted in the eve
ning session Friday night before this
bill was reached it was considered a
big victory for the oppot-enla of the
bill. Thurston and his aides appeared
at the clerk's desk to learn the names
of those who had voted the bill to
third reading. FoliowincJs the af
firmative vote :
Abbott , Babcock , Bailey , Bartlett ,
Bict , Bolln , Broatch , Brown , Cue ,

Now the point i * , why was it that

changed their views on the bill :

Our Neighboring City Trying
to Beat Us in the En
terprise.
Sidney W. Hopkins , president of
; ho American Construction company ,
New York ; H. P. M. Berkinbine ,
chief engineer , and Dr. J. O. White ,
director , arrived at Council Blnffi
Saturdry evening. They are con
tractors for thp Conncil Bluffs wr.ter
works , and they come to fix , with the
council , the distribution of hydrants.
All the plans and specifications have
Deen in active preparation ever s'nce
.ilr. Berkinbine returned to Kew
York. Work will commence se roon
as the weather and the condition of
the ground wilt permit.
It is their intention while hero to
secure a location for the works , res
ervoirs , etc. The company desiri a to
purchase , If possible , a considerable
; ract of land on which to erect the
works , and with a view of improving
an'd beautifying the same and making
a p rt out of the ground ? .
Tne company has determined to
double its pumping machinery capa
city bey.ond tha requirements of the
ordinance , and subsiding roser-
volros will ba very materially
increised , and probably also
the storage supply , to what
extent the latter they will determine
during their present stay. The in
crease will glvj the water mow time
to settle and become clear before being
pumped into the mains. They will
also increase a portion of the pumping
mains from 16 to 20 inch size They
promise better waterworks than the
ordinance calls for. t
The point in the Missouri river from
which water will be taken , is not yet
decided , but it will be far enough up
to escape the Omaha sewerage en
tlrely.

A SOLID FIRM.
The Successors to Willis M.
Yates.
Mr Kent K. Hay don , who has been
tor a number of years past with the
First National Bank of this city , has
purchased an interest In the grocery
business , formerly owned aud so suc
cessfully managed by Mr. Willis M.
Yates , the veteran grocer , and who
bag built up a trade of the first order ,
and has a wide reputation for keeping
only first class goods of wnatever he
has handled.
The business of Mr. Yates has not
been confined to the ( city alone , but
extends into Sarpy and other counties ,
from whera he receives his deliclcoi
"country butter , " and a
tegular supply of fresh
eggs. But above all other things this
store ia noted for , and to which Mr.
Yatea owes much of his past success ,
is the fact that be has made a spec
ialty of handling , none but the best
brands of fiunr , which the new firm
propose to keep up , together with a
full Hue of choice ( ancy groceries ,
fresh and put up in good style.
The building into which Mr. Yates
has lately moved and in which the new
firm will continue the business , is a
fine two story brick with basement
fitted np for the storuage of vegetables ,
etc. , and has an elevator running from
cellar to garret.
The.first floor which ia occupied as
salesroom is neatly arranged and sup
plied with all the latest improved
cases , counters and shelving. Both
memb&rs of the firm have been favor
ably known to our citizens for many
years and have gained for themselves
the merited reputation of being
straightforward , successful business
man.
Weekly Market Review.
WHOLErfALP.
OMAHA , March 1 , 1881.
Trade is gradually improving , with
prices firm and a little higher on
many articles , than a week ago. The
snow blook-tde is raised , and jobbers
are commencing to fill orders , but
great difficulty ia experienced in doing
so , on account of the storms east ,
which have so delayed freight thai
most of the dealers here are short on
something or other. Another week
will probably see everything moving
aijain in good shape.
