Th County Board ot Equalisation has
deferred until Monday morning any action
a th assessment ot th Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company and the Belt Lin
railway. At yesterday afternoon' session
tt waa developed that the former has been
assessed at $4.000 on Ita personal and rsal
nd the Uttr at $186,000. These were facta
f which the members of the tax committee
4t the Real Estate exchange had ant a clear
VBderataadlnc, they say.
t The forenoon session did not develop
much that th board considered helpful.
put la th attarnooa John R. Webster, who
TsprcMatad th Terminal company and who
waa extensively qulaatd, also concerning th
Belt railway, gave what a member of the
commute said he considered a very fair
atatemant. v
Joka R, Wekater'a Statesaeatt.
He said, ameog other things, that the
actual value of th company' property this
id 'th middle of th Terminal bridge is
1350,000; that It has out $1,000,000 ot bonds
n which Interest had defaulted eight years,
tut on which th company la aow paying
Interest by borrowing, as the earnings are
not sufficient t pay both this interest and
(he running expenses. ' He was understood
to say, also, that th bonds ar worth about
tS per cent, or $750,000, ot which a trifle
leas than one-halt Is property assessable
in Nebraska, as a trifle less .than one-hair
th company's holdings ar In this stats.
Attorney Orr ot the Missouri Pacific ap

Masrle City Gossip.
Th only road ths city has to th river
waa closed yesterday and Mayor Koutaky
Is greatly worried about the dtspesal of
garbage. In June of 1901. when this ques
tion came up, Herman Kountie of Omaha
sent a written communication to the coun
cil offering to dedicate a road to the river
through his property providing certain con
dition were complied with.
Ia the first place, Mr. Kountie wanted
the city to fence both side of th road,
and this wss done. A five-wire fence was
erected. With gates at convenient points,
and then a bridge was built across th
creek at what might be called the foot of
M street In all the city must have spent
not less than $1,000 In complying with the
request.
All that Mr. Kountz aakd In return for
opening tht road through 'hi property to
the river was that the city pay htm $100. A
warrant was ordered drawn and twice Ad
kins, who waa then president of the coun
cil, carried the warrant to Omaha and ten
dered It to Mr. Kountie, bat tt waa aever
accepted and It now reposes la the war
rant packet of the city elerk.
Mayor Koutsk said last night that driv
ers ot garbage wagons wr refused as-
cea to th river yesterday by an agent of
Mr. Kountse. What will b don with th
garbag until the matter Is settled Is hard
to tell, aa the ordera are to dump all gar
bage teto the river. .The same order per-
talna to dead antmala.
The mayor In company with a number of
city offlclala will go to Omaha Saturday to
meet Mr. Blount s and endeavor to effect a
settlement ot some kind.
An investigation made by the mayor and
othera yesterday afternoon showed that
the Kountse route to the rlvsr 1 th only
practical on. It Is thought thst Inasmuch
as th city ha spent so much money on
fixing the road, building a bridge and eoa
structing a fence as was requested In the
proposition, Mr. Kouatte. when he learns of
the state of affairs, will enter Into an
agreement which will hold. Ia case such
arrangements cannot be perfected It will
be necessary for the city offlclala to devlsi
waya and mean for opening a street direct
to ths river In order that garbage may be
disposed ef at aa llttl expense to th tax
payer as possible.
