Pacts and Figures From the
Assessment Roll of 1831.
DoarinnJng With the Two Principal
Business Stroota of Omnha ,
The precinct assessors are now
busily engaged in the work of apprais
ing the property in this city , and it ii
presumed that they , like all fonnoi
assessors , are following in the foot' '
stops of their predecessors.
It haa bcou an open secret for semi
years that property assessments ii
Omaha have been not only very low
but very irregular. It is general ! ]
supposed that property ia assessed al
about half its cash value , althougr
the law requires its assessment at ac
tual value , but the grand assessment
roll of the city and county shows some
eurioua valuations. Believing that il
IB to 'the interest of every honest tax
payer that our property assessment !
should bo equalized , and desirous ol
aoeing the old system of favoritism
broken up , THE BEE has taken paint
to procure the official figures from the
'records as they appear on the assess
ment roll of 1881. As a beginning we
have selected the two principal busi
ness streets , with the following result :
Beginning at , Ninth and Parnarn
'
wo find'tho , woet forty-four foot of lot
.8 , block ,124' , , assessedat,81,500 , , ; Th'ia
property was sold. May 31 , 1881 , foi
$0,000.
On the opposite corner , lot 1 , block
133 , is assessed , exclusive of improve
ments , at $2,400 , while it is worth at
least § 10,000.
Proceooding north on Farnam
street , property generally is found
assessed at about the same rate as
above.
Popploton's improved lot , corner
Farnam and Tenth street , is assessed
at $12,000. Now , rating the value
of ground the same as in the prior
mentioned loc , although in reality it
is much more valuable , the bare lot
would bo worth $9,000 and with the
improvements on would be worth
830,000 to $35,000 at least.
A still bettor comparison is with
the twenty-two feet belonging to Mer-
ritt which adjoins it on the west ,
which sold in January , 1881 , for
$4,000 and the assessment on which
was but $1,500.
The B. & M. railway headquarters
building , opposite the Popploton
blockwitli the same amount of ground
was assessed at $18,000. The building
covers the entire lot , GG by 132 foot ,
and the lot with improvements is prob
ably worth , at n low figure. $40,000.
Mar Meyor'a property , northeast
corner Eleventh ana Farnam , cost
$12,250 unimproved , and has since
boon made one of the finest improved
lots in the city , the elegant block and
lot probably being worth at a low es
timate $45,090 , and this is put down
by the assessor at $13,000.
The east 22 feet of lot 1. block 135
the southwest corner of the snm
streets , was sold in October , 1880 , fo.
58.000 , with no improvement but an
Did two-story brick on it and is assess-
id at $3,000.
Property in this block is all as
sessed equally out of proportion with
its valuo. There is the west 20 foot
jf lot 2 , with two-story brick , "which
sold in February , 1880 , for $10,500 ,
which ia assossott .at $4,000. Dewey
& Stone's 44 feet is assessed at $0,200
ind worth $30,000 at least.
On the opposite side of the street is
3. F. Goodman's 22 foot , assessed at
J5,000 ; Sharp's at $4,400 ; Lehman's
M,750 , and the other lots , with noth-
ng on but old rattlo-traps ; assessed at
J2.000 each.
At the rate at which property has
iojd in. this vicinity within the past
rear , ono of these inside lots , 22 foot
rent , could not bo purchased for loss
, han $10,000. For instance , the east
J2 foot of lot 8 , block 121 , northwest
rnor of Farnam and Twelfth , sold
n March , 1882 , for $10,000 , and was
assessed at $4,000 , just 25 per cent of
ts market value. Solomon's 22 foot
ot adjoining the last named property
s assessed ut $0,000 , and Smith's ' GG
oot front , next west of Solomon's ,
with its magnificent and costly block ,
n Jtho neighborhood of $20,000 , The
mprovod lot occupied by the Smitli
jutlding could not bo bought to-day
or $50,000 , and figurinit on the
jasis of the solo of the Brash corner ,
ho bare lota would bo worth
540,000.
The Oaldwoll & Hamilton property ,
10 foot front , opposite tlio Brash cor-
ier , is assessed at $9,500. Allowinir
or the dill'eronoo in value in favor of
ho opposite side of the street , the

The Enormous Cost of Feeding

A Cosily Luxury for Douglas
County Tax Payers.
The Urgent Need of a Workhouse for
City tvnd County Prisoners.
Ono of the many hoppers into
which the revenue of Douglas county
is poured each year , is the county
jail. Ever since the now jail hoa boon
completed there has been an effort
made to keep it full of prisoners , nt
the expense of the taxpayers of the
county. It is claimed that under our
city charter , every violation of a atato
law , which may also bo n violation of
the city ordinance , such ns petit' thiev
ing , fighting , etc. , must bo consigned
to the county jail , The commitment
fee for each prisoner is fifty cents ,
which goes to the sheriff and the
county also pays to that official fifty
cents per day for boarding
each prisoner , after the first
day , which is sovonty-fivo cents. The
expense of boarding .these jail birds
foots up into the thousands every
year ns will bo seen frm the record
which wo herewith append. Whether
the commitment of city prisoners to
the county jail is right or wrong the
fact is patent that the taxpayers of
Douglas county are paying much more
for their board than than it c mid bo
obtained for.
The city has n contract with Peter
Goosforbonrding city prisoners lodged
in the city jail at twenty-eight cents
per day. His average bill is $30 a
month or $3GO pur year , ns against
the following amounts paid by 'tlio
county to ox-Sheriff Guy , during his
term , for feeding nnd committing
prisoners :

It will bo aeon by tncso figures that
the jail expenses have more than
doubled since 1878 and there is no
telling what the bill will amount to
this year. As a matter of business as
well ns economy the commissioners
should retrench , and as a matter of
business they should provide some
thing for tramps , burglars and crim
inals to do.
Over a year ago THE BKE , in con
nection with an interview had with
the county commissioners on their re
turn fronds visit to Detroit nnd in
spection of the workhouse provided
for city nnd county priaonora in that
city , advocated the construction pf
some such an institution in
this city. Although the city had
ar , atone pile and was working
a small force of men at that time the
prisoners could .run away whenever
they got tired , and in reality wore
doing very'little toward paying for
their board.- They were incurring a
constant expense for which there was
no return , and the facta and figures'
obtnined from Mr. Drexel showed
that they could be made tenet
not only pay for their
board and expenaoa , but bring in a
considerable income to the county be
aides. Supposing it did involve t
slight expense to provide such quarters
tors , it will be seen from the above
figures that a few years would pay for
the erection of a workhouse that would
be ample for years to come. Not
only could our own prisoners betaken
taken care of and made useful but , as
in Detroit , they could be re'enforced
by others from the territories which
are poorly provided with prisons and
now Band their convicts to Nebraska
state's' prison or even further east.
At all events it is criminal to let
thia extraordinary and useless ex
pense go on any longer.
