10 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE: TIT EH DAY, EEBRUATIY 24, 1003. RAILROADS GET INJUNCTION Judge Manner Beitraini Citj from Taxing Union Pacific and Eur'.ingtoa. SAYS THE RECENT ASSESSMENT IS VOID Cor Hold that rfr of Hqnallia linn Dot! Authority to . jtMtii-ftitrmriit from City Allurnrf t'onaell. JudRA Munger yesterday Issued a tem porary Injunction against the city council and taxing authorities of the city retrain ing them from making a levy upon the. property of the Burlington and t'nlon Pa cific railroads on tho basis of the assess ment returned by the tax commissioner and the Board of Review. In his opinion the Judge says the two cases presented so nearly Identical condi tions that one hearing determined the rule In each; that It appears that the tax com missioner did not follow the provisions of tb city charter In accepting the assess ment as returned by the state board. Re ferring to the unit system of taxation be ays It has long been the statute law and has received judicial sanction, not only by the supreme court of thla state, bit by the upreme court of the United Stages. The Judge quotes the decision of the Nebraska upreme court In the rase of the state ex rel against Savage. In this cane the su preme court said: "We know of no rule by which the State Board of Equalization under the present law can value railroad and tele-' graph properties in municipalities having taxing powers of their own at a uniform valuation with other properties therein, when the standard of value Is different from that prevailing under the general revenue laws." Judge Munger, commenting on thia rule In his opinion, says: "This language of the court gives some force to the contention of counsel for re apondents, but It will be observed that the court la only speaking of the standard of value, and In no manner questions the method of ascertaining the value upon the mileage basia. If, for Instance, the stand ard of value of property for general revenue purposes throughout the state was fixed at one-half of Its actual cash value, and In cities and municipalities the standard of value for local taxation Is fixed at its full or cash value, then of course the assessment of the state board on a basis of 60 per cent should not be accepted as the final basis of value for municipal purposea. Powers of City Council. "The charter of the city provides that the city council shall sit as a board of equalization, when it shall hear and de termine and equalize the, value of property between Individual taxpayers. It It shall appear to them when sitting as such board that the assessed valuation of one person's or corporation's property haa been made upon a basis of (0 per cent of Ha ac tual cash Value while the property of an other Individual or corporation haa been assessed at 100 per cent, or its full cash value, they are empowered to remedy thla Inequality by raising the assessment of one or lowering that of tho other to an equality. . "But the power of equalization does not give the authority to assess. I am clearly of the opinion that the alleged assessment and valuation of the complainants' prop arty In the manner alleged was wholly without Jurisdiction and void, and that the city council, not having changed the as sessment when sitting as a board of equal isation, has no power or authority to as sess the property of complainants at an other or different valuation than that fixed by the state board, and that a tax levied upon i the assessment aa returned by tba tag commissioner and Board of Review would be void. "A party la not required to pay a tax ' which, aa yet, haa no exiatence. If a tax, when laid, may be enjoined because of its Illegality, then a court of equity may en Join the levy of such. tax. "For these reaaona a temporary order of Injunction will be granted, restraining the city council from levying a tax upon the assessment aa returned by the tax com missioner and the Board of Rewlev as to the property of the complainants assessed by the atate board." Aa to Peraonal Property. The court then takes up that part of the complaint of the Union ractfic relative to the Increase In the assessment of the personal property of that road by the Board of Review over the valuation aa returned by the tax commissioner, and aaya: "Aa It la charged in the bill that the Board of Review raised the assessment without any notice to complainant, and that they acted fraudulently and raised the as sessment six times above that of other property, the temporary Injunction will be granted aa to that." Referring to the Injunction aa to the property of the Union Pacific other than that returned by the atate board, a member of the laat Board of Review said that tho board had notified the Union Pacific of Ha Intended action, and that the company .failed to appear. This question was not touched upon In the argument before the court, aa the city had filed no answer, and for the purpose of the argument the alle gations of faot in the bill had to be taken aa true. . City Attorney's Statement. City Attorney Connell said: "The effect probably will be a levy made on the theory that tho final decision will be In favor of the city. Thia will mean that a shortage will exist in some of the funds for the varloua departments, but tbls condition will have to be met when It la reached. The council will undoubtedly make a levy in ac cordance with the action taken by tho court, and obey the order restraining a levy on the railroad assessments as re turned by the Board of Review and the Board of Equalization. They will make a levy on all property except the railroad property concerned, with the rxpectatlon that It will be reached later by a supple mental levy." Jadaje Berka', Has? Day.

Delicious m Absolutely FOUNDATIONS IN THEIR WAY llayden Brothers Assert that Their Newly Arqalrrd Lot la Hot Clenr. Hayden Brothers stsrted two stilts In dis trict court yesterday for possession of property which they allege they acquired when they purchased the fit. Mary.Magda Icne church premises on Douglas street be tween the Boston store and the Patterson Mock snd across the alley south from their own store. The church building Is In the center of the lot and the plaintiff alleges that the Patterson block's foundation Intrudes two feet over the boundary line, though under the surface of the ground, and therefore suit Is brought for Immediate possession and for 13 judgment, the latter amount al leged to be the reasonable value of posses sion during the year since the Haydens bought the premises. The other suit Is for Immediate posses sion of a similar strip four feet wide on the east side of the church lot. the claim being that the foundation of the Boston store there Intrudes to that extent. Of these two suits the attorney representing Hayden Brothers said: "The one-year lease of the church has about expired and the church people are pre paring to move Into their new building at Nineteenth and Dodge. This leaves the way open for Hayden Brothera to build their new addition on the church lot early this spring. To occupy the full width of the lot, when they come to excavate for the foot ings for the east wall they will find four feet of the Boston Store foundation In their way and for their west wall two feet of the Patterson block foundation. In both In stances the foundations extend from Doug las street north to the alley, bo the com plication Is quite serious, and to get It straightened out these suits are brought, with the possibility of an adjustment with out much court procedure." FOUR ARE UP FOR FORGERY Three Cnll for Preliminary Hearings and One la Held to Dis trict Conrt. In police court yesterday four of the alleged forgers who were taken Into custody last week were arraigned. None of the prisoners entered a plea of guilty. Ed O.

TO TALK OVER PROPOSED WAGE SCALE Meanwhile gtrlkln Machinists Re. quest Their National t'onncll to Call the Kotitbfrn Pnrlfle Rond to Arconnt. After waiting for many weeks the Union Pacific general committees of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen have secured a date for the desired conference with President Burt. It helng March 2. Mr. Burt yesterday set this time. , The committee here, aa elsewhere, will ask for the 20 per cent raise of wages and the abolishment o( double headers on trains that scale more than one engine's rating. In other placea the committees have secured a concession of 15 per cent raise for freight men and 12 per cent for passenger, and the same ts expected here. Meanwhile the Fremont, Elkfiorn A Mis souri Valley general committees are still watting, as General Manager Bldwell has set no date. The committees expect to be held till the Chicago ft Northwestern com mittees and general manager come to gether, aa the work of settling the matter for these two roads will undoubtedly be i merged In view of the recent complete absorption of the Elkhorn by the Chicago ft Northwestern. General Manager Gardner of the latter road probably will adjust all the matters for bci. x The executive council of the National Association of Machinists has been asked by strike leaders here to either compel the Southern Pacific to take off ita fifteen en gines now In use on the Union Paciflo or to declare a machinists' strike on the Southern Pacific. The council haa been in formed that some decided stand on this matter must be taken and strikers are eag erly awaiting its answer. Meanwhile the boiler makers have still to hear from their executive council, which was some weeks ago asked to vote on whether to extend the boiler makers' strike to the Southern Pacific. Some of the mem bers of the council are taking their timo about responding. At the regular meeting of tho Locomotive Builders' Trades council yesterday it waa reported that the story of a Rock Island en gine being used by the Union Paciflo near Denver was unfounded.

Elijah Hancock, arrested for an attempt to fraudulently secure' a pension from the United States, gave bond yesterday after noon and returned to his home at Hebron. He Is 71 years old and Is one of four broth ers who served In the civil war. He says his trouble Is caused by a pension attorney who secured his signature to papers by mis representation and that If there waa any scheme to defraud It was framed up by the attorney. Hancock says the charge of de sertion against him on the old muster rolls waa cauaed by the fact that e was in the hospital when the regiment waa mustered out and that the officer In charge of the rolls found it easier to account for him as a deserter than to ascertain his whereabouts.

GENERAL MANAGER BIDWELL MAY GO Another Important Chans Antici pated la Retirement of Major Bachsman and Extension of Knlakern'a Jurisdiction, More definite Information regarding -the aweeping change and elimination of of ficials at Elkhorn headquarters, as out lined by The Bee, comes la the following, printed under a flaring headline In the Chicago Chronicle: , Announcement Is expected soon regarding the reorganization of the official staff of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railway, which the Northwestern haa made a part of Its system, completely. It Is understood that quite a number of Im- fiortant changes will be made, especially n the operating department, which will probably be placed under W. A. Gardner, general manager of the Northwestern. One of the most Important changes under contemplation la the retirement of J. K. Buchanan as general passenger agent of the Elkhorn It is understood that the Jurisdiction of Passenger Traffic Manager W. B. Knlekern of the Northwestern will be extended to Include the Elkhorn and that C. A. CHirna will be promoted from the position of assistant general passenger agent of the Northwestern to that of gen eral passenger agent, with Jurisdiction over both roads. The Jurisdiction of Assistant General Manager K H. A Is h ton and of General Superintendent W. D. Cantlllui will alao be extended to Include the Elk horn. Bldwell to Retire, These changes will necessitate the retire ment of George F. Bldwell as general manager of the Klkhorn and It Is likely that lie will be made assistant general superintendent to assist Mr. Cantilion, or will be made superintendent of the road, which will probably be known an the Elk horn division. It has not been determined what will be done with C. C Hughes, now general superintendent of the Elkhorn. It Is likely also that the freight depart ment will be reorganized, that the position of purchasing agent, now held by Lester II. Carroll, will be abolished, and A. A. Schenk. now chief engineer, will probably be made an assistant engineer under Chief Enlneer Carter of the Northwestern. Important changes 1n the accounting de partment of the Elkhorn are roreshariowed by a circular Issued by M. M. Klrkman, Becond vice president of the Northwestern. The circular announces that, beglnlnng March 1, all ticket, freight, car mileuKe and miscellaneous accounts of the Elk horn with other carriers and corporations will be merged in the returns of the North western, which will settle all accounts of the Elkhorn. The Chicago story has caused much ex citement at Elkhorn headquarters, though many officials have all along expected soni such action. Every man in the building la carrying a Chronicle with him and tbft talk la of nothing else. Mr. Bldwell Is out of the city, so could not be asked regard ing the matter. Expensive Road Conatrnrtlon.
