The Now * , Wednesday , made a moan tftln oat of a mole-hill In relation to an Item In the BEE ooncernlcg iho central echool building. A alight mistake was urn do In stating that the building was a frame , when the fast ia that it IB a brlok atractuto. The material facts nro cor * rcct assisted in the BEE , The best ovl- donco of this insertion Is the accompiny- Ing loiter , received from a well-known lady , whooo nsmo can ba given if desired. The reporter boirg unscqualnttd Trlth the character of the building material and having misunderstood his informant , creates no special canao for worry on the part of the News , for this paper or anyone ono conneoted with it. The following is the l&dy'n letter : lleporler OMAHA BEE , Sin : As a patron of the ctntral school building , I hall with joy the first shot fired into that "burning disgrnco" It ii no groiU woudor it altould f ll somewhat short of the mirk , for who would not forgot the snpcr&truoturo whlo ! gizing a1 its founda tion.

" Who will quosttou the moral inflaonco of such nunoundinga ? Is it hero ho ro- colvos his first impressions ? Tfco npithy of pnronti is more surprising than the economy of the eclnol board or city council. It ia Irao the present superin tendent sllcncol hia conaolonco by plan ing n ventilator in ono room , that ia nald to supply froth air. I am not prepared to contradict thi , but I visited that roam whan tha coil gas w. brought through the iluo into the room , render ing the nlr highly noxious. It is my opinion a room several foot under ground , with low colling and half lights , can not bs well ventllatad. It is not for me to make apology for the growth of our city and ita consequent demand for more school room , but it ia blind policy to at tract capital and manufacturers to our midst without providing healthy school rooms without dangerous delay. The law ii plain and mandatory for nchool boards as for tax-payers , and the latter will justify that honorable body if the neccjsttles are mada plain to thorn , A MOTHER. In addition to the above Mr. Wormor. the janitor of tha school , has resigned his pcshtori , to take elfcct on October 1st next.

Tbe Bar3 ) o ( Ed lizilion Discuss tin Proposed Ificreaso , Tbo General Opinion Expressed thftl It Cannot bo Legally Done No Dt finite Action Taken , The city conncil mot last night in BB < slon as B bosrd of cqialfzitlon. With the exception of Goodiioh , Goodman nnd Ford , there was a full reprcsontillon cf the council proiont. The particular objict of the mooting was to consider the scheme of raising iho city assessment twenty-five per cent us embodied in the following resolution : Whorcas , The ( appraisement of real estate on the assoesment Hit of Omaha Is very low , and as the amount of the gen eral fund will barely pay the current ex penses of the city ; aud , whorcss , there la considerable grading that should bo done this year , thereby giving employ ment to men und teams residing In onr city , therefore , bo it Ilosolvcd , That it is ( ho nenao of the city conncil that the appraisement of all real citato bo rained 25 per cent. Mr. Dally was ot the opinion that this Eshoaio was the bo > t one that could bo adopted. Something had 13 ba denote to ralso the money for tlio Roncril fund , and ho thought that thin plan ought to bo adopted , as presenting iho best fea tures. Ho had discuisod the matter with n numbsr of taxpayers aomo of them very heavy ones and nil of them eccmed to bo In favor of the plan. How ever , ho thought bjfora milting the rilao in the anrensmsnt on real estate , that tbo city council ought to give the taxpayers ton daya * notice until the fitst of Sep tember aud allow them to present their protests sgainit the reUo. Blr. Babm agreed with Mr. Dilly ; ho , hoti3ht that ut least ten dajs' notice caght to bo given to the people. Mr. Lra thought that after ull ( t would bo making an Illegal move to raleo the lesesnnont tha city had batter wait mtll next year , end get along with things as they are now. Mr. Djily egaiu ros2nnd In tha course of oomti rcmaris intenriud to rofntothoso of Mr. Leo's , said that last year Iho as- lessment of property in the First ward had been raised 30 per cent. Why couldn't the conncil raisa the ontlro city atsrs mont this year on iho tame prin ciple ? Air , Furay thought that the conncil had .ho simo statutory powers as the board of csnnty commicaioners in doal- og with county matters. Ho appealed to the members of the council pathetically. "Am I right In , hle ? " Echoing answering yes Mr. Foray went on to reid the statute doSn- ii ( ; the powers of the commissioners , with roapcct to raiting and lowering the as sessment , showing as ho claimed , that hey bad no power to make a perpendicu lar ralso in the aeaestmont. Therefore je should not vota to make the raisa in ; ho city ntEcairnoat. Ho was in favor of raising individual property assessments which were noiorloualy too low. Mr. Bohm admitted that the raleo wonld not ba legal , unless it wore sanc tioned by the consent of the tax payers. Mr. Fnray thought the wise would bo & barefaced steal. It would bo a hard ship for the poor man who could not om- iloy a lawyer to fight the 25 per cent aiae ; the rich man who could shell out § 10 to pay n lawyer to fight Uho raise would 1)3 the ono tp escape the increase n taxation. Mr. Bally said that ho bad taken some ) aina to make inquiry among the taxpay- ; rs about the raise , and was astonished o find that nearly all of thorn y/ero op- icstd to the 25 per cent raleo. Ho had : omo to the conclusion that the ra'so ' was llogal and entirely unfeasible. lr. Leedcr thought that the city had spent enough for this year and ought to DO content. Mr. Foray referred io the abuies which existed In tbo matter of the low a < s- seceraont of various pieces of real ( state ment throughout the city , and referred to a lut of railroad property not used for : ight of wsy purpocoa which had not soon listed i-nd asjcszcd , cs printed In ; ho Omaha BKI : of February 20 , 1885 [ f thla report were C3rroof , ho thought , enrely hero web the place ( or correcting abuoen. A motion was rondo nnd carried to iho effect that the BEI.S report be referred to the city clerk for examination as to its correctness.

THE INSANE TAX , Attorney General IJOCRO to I'tieli the Case Kninst Dnuylns County. Attorney General Loeso Is in the city laving CJUIB hero to contult the county commisslonora and County Attorney Uowln with rcforcnco to tba alleged de- inqucnt Ineano tax of Donglas county , Some tlmo ago , it may bo remembered , VIr. Leeso came to Ouiaha and infoimcd : ho commicslonors that the sta'o ' needed and propped to collect some $30,000 duo rom Douglas county on the inaano tax assessments , which have been acsumu- itlng , It is said , since 1875. The mattar wei pretty thoroughly dis eased by Mr. Leeco with Meesrs. Oowln , O'Xeofa gand , Tlmmo yesterday , but no definite conclusion was roaohei. The commissioners and the county attorney bavo not chcnged materially from tbo , ) oiition assamutl some months ago , that the payment of kthls tex ought to bo contested. Mr. Leoso , In conversation with n reporter porter yesterday , said that theoiso would como np for trial at Iho next term of the Dptoma court. Ho proposed , bo ta'd , to push this case against Douglas county , b cause being the largest county in tlio state she waa niturally looked np to by tbo other and smaller oounlioc. If Doul s were compelled to coma to tlmo with her delinquent insino tar , the other oiuttles would fall into line voiy soon Too officials of L ricistor county , ho sa'd ' , had notlh'ed him that they would uey their dollnquont tax ( amounting to iouio $15 000) ) as coon ns Doi'i-liu ' county wan ordered to do the same. ' If the supreme court shall grant the rror compelling this county tu jay the ill nquent lax , I tbsll ask that your com- 'cltsbcots be allowed to rutiko iho py- tnerti in tha most onnvecient way , and not ia one lump. Of couraj , 1 under stand that yonr county and city taxation Is vei7 heavy and to have to turn over $30,000 In ono payment wonld bo n hard ship , " concludea Mr. Leero.
