BLUFFS,
PORTLAND COMPANY TO OUIT
Decides, to Leaf ths It ate if Stock ii
Assessed in Osaooil Bluffs.
ALLEGE THAT IT IS DOUBLE TAXATION
City Assessor Asserts He Is Only Fol
lowing; the Law la Making- the
Assessment aa Be Did
Last Spring.
If the attempt to assess It for taxation la
this city Is persisted In the Portland Gold
Mining company of Colorado will remove
from the state of Iowa and reincorporate In
some other state. This was decided upon
at a special meeting of the stockholders
held In this city yesterday at which the
board of directors was given authority te
dissolve Its Incorporation In Iowa and re
Incorporate elsewhere. Present at the meet
ing were James F. Burns, president; F.
Peck, treasurer and secretary, and Judge
Ounnell, general attorney of the company.
The meeting was held Is tbe office of Roes
Ross, local agenta and attorneys of the
company.
In making the assessment of the city for
19C3 City Assessor Everest decided te in
elude the corporation stock of the Portland
Gold Mining company, one of the many
Colorado mining companies Incorporated
under tho laws of Iowa and having Its
principal place ot business or legal head
quarters In Council Bluff. With this end
In view he left the regular blank form wltb
Messrs. Ross sV Roes, as the local represent
ative of the corporation, for the company to
make Its statement on as required by stat
ute. No notice was taken, however, of City
Assessor Everest's request and no state
ment was ever furnished by the company.
During the trial of the famous suit of
James Doyle against James F. Burns, pres
ident of tbe Portland Gold Mining company,
the evidence showed that the corporation
stock of the Portland company had a face
value of $3,000,000 and an actual value of
three times that amount, or $9,000,000. As
sessor Everest In the absence of any state
ment from the company decided to place the
actual value of the company's stock at the
market value $9,000.000 soaking Its asie
able value $2,260,000 or one-fourth of the
aotual value. He accordingly notified the
company to this effect and Included tbl aa
sersment In his returns to the county aud
itor. As there appeared to be a serious ques
tion ss to whether the corporate stock of
the mining company could be legally as
sessed here the county auditor did not take
this astessment into account when figuring
tha total assessment of Pottawattamie
county for 1902. The county auditor took
the pcsltion. that It the courts held that
the assessment was valid, the county would
be Just that amount ahead and the tax. If
ever collected, could be readily added to the
county'a revenue for the year.
Position of Assessor.'
City Assessor Everest, takes tbe position
that be 1 only following the law in assess
ing the Portland company on It stock In
this city, which Is Its legal headquarters.
The Iowa code provldea that all such cor
poratlons ahall be assessed In the place
wnicn is tneir principal place ot business
and that the basis of assessment shall be
the actual market value ot their stock. They
are entitled, however, to deductions for the
value ot their real estate and for -this pur
pose are required to make a showing to
the sssessor setting out the amount of
stock, the amount of value of their real es
tate and other data 'required in determin
ing what the sasessment shall be.
The company in refusing to stand for an
assessment In Council Bluffs takea the
position that as its stock is already taxed
In. Colorado, where Its property He. It
cannot be taxed again In Iowa.
After the meeting yesterday Judge Oun
nell, speaking for the company, said: "We
shall certainly resist any attempt to assess
our corporate stook In Iowa and in order
to prevent a repetition of this trouble tbe
meeting of stockholder ha authorised
the board of directors to dissolve the Iowa
corporstlon snd reincorporate In some
other state, where we .will be tree from
any such controversy. : At the same time
tbe company would , prefer to remain a
corporation of Iowa and will do so If no
further sttempt Is made to compel us to
pay taxes here on the same property on
which we pay taxes la Colorado. If, how
ever, the city of Council Bluffs is deter
mined to push this matter snd attempt to
enforce this assessment tbe company will
quit Iowa and locate elsewhere."
Asked If the state of Iowa derived any
benefit by the company retaining Ita In
corporation here Judge Ounnell waa forced
to admit that it did not. All that the
state ever received from tbe eompany was
ths original filing fee for the article of
Incorporation which at the time the com
pany organised waa materially lower than
It I now. To Incorporate In Iowa now
would coat the company hundred ot dol
lars mors than It paid at the time It In
corporated. City Assessor Everest, when Informed
of the action ot the Portland company,
stated that at this time he could not eay
what atcpa Pottawattamie county would
tak to enforce the collection of the tax It
any. It waa a matter, he said, for the
county attorney and Board ot Supervisor
to determine. He bad returned the assess
ment of the company with the other as
sessments for the year and that ended hie
duty In the matter. County Attorney Kill
pack was not In the city yesterday and bis
view oa the question could not b ascer
tained. AFTER CONTRACTOR WICKHAM
City Ceeaell Aaxlons te Have ravine
t Harrison Street Cent,
sneneed.
ror about ths tenth time the city council
last night passed a resolution directing the
city engineer to notify Contractor Wlckham
to begin the paving of Harrison street. A
few weeks sge the city council ordered
Wlckhsm to begin ths psvlcg cf this street
ss soon ss be completed the work on cer
tain atresia In ths Fourth ward. According
t statements mad to ths sldsrmea last
night by residents snd property owners on
Harrison atreet Wckham is preparing te
rave South Sixth street snd has made no
visible sign of intending to do say work oa
the former street It wss stated that Wick
him is unable to secure sufficient Council
Bluff brick for the paving ot Harriioa
treet and that the property owner are
willing that he should us sny ether kind
of vitrified brick provided only thst be be
gia the work st once.
City Engineer Etnyre reported thst he bsd
Instructed Wlckham te begin the paving of
Harrtsoa street, but ss far as be knew there
ss no Intention ea Wtckham's part to com
ply with the Instruction. Mr. Etayr stated
that h had refused t set the stakes for
ths South Sixth street paving until work
was commenced oa Harrison street. Ths
I council feared that the refusal to set the
stakes might give Wlckhsm an opportunity
jto sue the city for damages snd directed the
engineer to set them snd at tbe asms time
to notify Wlckhsm to begin the Harrison
street paving within ten days.
Several means were suggested to com
fel Wlckham tn nKv lha aMh a (h.
I council la regard te the paving of Harrl
son street bnt nothing was definitely de
cided upon. One suggestion wss that no
estimates be allowed on any paving until
he bad demonstrated that be Intended pav
ing this street this fall.
During ths discussion It developed thst
Wlckhsm was preparing te pave South
Sixth street with Galesburg block whereas
his contract called tor Council Bluffs brick.
Ths city engineer was Instructed to notify
him to conform to tbe requirements of the
contract.
Aldermen Huber and Tlnley renewed their
fight on Street Supervisor Taylor and were
loaded with reaolutlons requiring him to
furnish all sorts of statements as to the
number of men employed on each street
and an Itemized report ot the cost ot clean
ing each street, etc. The resolutions failed
of adoption, aa ths other aldermen were ot
ths opinion that such reports ss Alder
men Huber and Tlnley demanded were Im
practicable and that to make them would
necessitate providing the street supervisor
with a clerical force. Alderman Tlnley in
sisted on having a report ot the work
done on tbe streets In psyment of poll tax
and the supervisor waa Instructed to make
a report of the aggregate number of day
work performed la payment of the poll tax,
this report to be referred to a committee
consisting ot Aldermen Tlnley and Huber
to check over with ths supervisor's books.
Aldermen Tlnley and Huber declined to ex
plain for what reason they demanded these
reports, which caused Alderman Lougee tu
remark to Alderman Tlnley that "the alder
man from the Third ward seemed to have
something up his sleeve," and Tlnley re
plied by saying that "All of them would
soon have aomethlng up their sleeves."
What thla referred to, however, was left un
explained. On the recommendation of the committee
of tbe whole the ordinance Introduced on
behalf of the motor company, providing for
ths narrowing ot the sidewalk on Oak
street between Broadway and Pierce street
was laid on ths table.
An ordinance changtug the grade of Vor-
his street between Lincoln avenue and
Union street was Introduced and passed to
its second reading.
The McCormlck and Pioneer Implement
companies complained about the defective
condition of the paving on Tenth avenue
between Blxth and Main street, snd the
city engineer wss Instructed to notify Con
tractor Wlckham to repair it at once.
James Casey snd C. J. Hsrden were
granted permission to conduct a saloon at
60S West Broadway.
City Electrician Bradley was given leave
of absence for five days.
On ths recommendation of the committee
of the whole It was decided not to settle
the Henry Lock personal injury Judgment
against tn city out of court. Tni decision
was reached at a session of the committee
previous to the council meeting.
Final action on tbe resolution calling for
a sewer on William street between Ave.
nue D and Mill street was taken and the
elerk Instructed te advertise for bids.
Alderman Lougee asked to be relieved
from the chairmanship of the streets and
alleys committee, aa he expected to be out
of the city a good deal of the time be
tween this snd winter. His request was
granted, and Mayor Morgan aaid he would
I appoint some one In his place by the next
meeting. ...
