TERMINAL REFUSES TO PAY
Follows Union Faoifio m Bilking oa Ttxw
for Oitr Purpose.
CASES ARE NOT EXACTLY PARALLEL
Un4 Adjoining; Its Bridge ta Platte
aad Is Assessed for City Taxes
ad Case Will Be Con
teatod. J. H. McDanlols, treasurer ot the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal Railway company
notified County Treasurer Arnd yesterday
that his company would refuse to pay the
municipal taxes assessed against the east
half ot It bridge over the Missouri river.
This refusal to pay city taxes la based on
the alleged ground! that the east half of
the bridge doe not receive any benefits
from such taxation. That the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal Railway company
would refuse to pay municipal taxes
was expected when the United States
circuit court of appeals , sustained
the ruling of Judge McPherson of the fed
eral court that the east halt of the Union
Paclflo Railway company's bridge over the
Missouri river waa not subject to taxation
for municipal purposes, as it derived no
direct benefit from such taxation.
The east bait of the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal Railway company's bridge is as
ssssed for 1903 at I18.87K, this being one
fourth of the actual valuation. The total
tax assessment amounts to $1,607.82, of
which $77( 35 Is the share belonging to the
city of Council Bluffs. Should the courts
sustain the position taken by the Terminal
company the city will lose 1778.34 of Its
revenue on which the city oouncll Monday
night based the appropriations for the
maintenance of the several municipal de
partments for the fiscal year ending March
II. 1904.
There is no question but that the matter
will be taken Into the courts. While the
eastern end of the Terminal company's
bridge Is almost as far from the business
eenter of the city as the Union Pacific
bridge the conditions surrounding It are
different. The land adjoining the Union
Pacific bridge for almost a mile each way
la held for agricultural purposes, and as
such Is exempt from city taxes, but the
laud adjoining the eastern terminus of the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway com
pany's structure Is all platted and Is all
subject to payment of city taxes.
"The land Immediately adjoining the Ter
minal company's bridge Is known as Colby's
Walnut Orove addition. It has a number
of houses on It and the lots are all as-,
sessed for city taxes. The same. Is true of
Benson's first addition, adjoining the Colby
addition, of Malone's and Mayne's addi
tions. Even a forty-acre tract owned by
Clark E. Carr Is assessed for city taxes.
Again the motor company has a track run
ning to and across the bridge and a service
of two trains each day to the eastern termi
nus of the bridge Is maintained by the
motor company under the provisions ot the
franchise : granted the Omaha, ' Council
Bluffs and Suburban Railway company.

SIOUX CITY WANTS RAILROAD TAXES
Coal Mlnera aad Operators Have
Aboat Coaeladed Their Coafer-
at Scale.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 25. (Special.) A
decided impetus was given today to the
movement for making Prof. C F. Curtlas
president of the Iowa Stats college at
Ames. The committee on presidency of
the board of trustees held a meeting at the
office ot Governor Cummins and heard
those who represent the agricultural In
terests of the state. A committee of the
State Agricultural board, consisting ot
President Morrow and Directors Phillips,
Packard and Ledgerwood, p reseated ths
matter to the trustees. The commutes was
Instructed to Insist upon some person for
president of the college who would repre
sent the sgricultural Interests. They
would be satisfied with Secretary James
Wilson for the place, but It has been rep
resented to them that he eould not be se
cured. Their present preference Is for
Prof. Curtlss, who has held the chair ot
agriculture tor several years, snd whose
efforts have given the College great im
petus because of the interest taken In it
by the farmers of the state. The commit
tee was re-enforced also by President
Schilling ot the State Dairy association,
who declares that the dairy Interests are
for Curtlss, and by Oeorge 8. Forrest, who
spoke for the Corn Growers' association,
wINch has Indorsed Curtlss. About twenty
farmers' Institutes have also passed reso
lutions fsvoring the selection ot Curttss
for president and a large number of peti
tions have been presented asking for his
selection. In fact It was shown to ths
committee ot the trustees that the move
ment for Curtlss has grown forniidsble In
the last few months, and that his selection
is almost the only thing that will satisfy
the farming interests. The committee Is
to make some kind of a report to the
board of trustees tomorrow at Ames, but It
Is expected that the report will not recom
mend any person for the place. The gen
eral impression among the trustees Is that
no selection Is possible at the meeting at
Ames.
Col lea; e Bnlldlna; Plana.
The bids will be opened In Ames tomor
row on the new work In building for the
Iowa state college. The central building,
which is to be built within two years, wtll
be the most expensive and complete col
lege building In the state, the estimated
cost being $225,000 exclusive of the heating
and plumbing. . It will be a structure HOx
220 feet in srea, tour stories high, of cut
stone, all fireproof, containing rooms for
the college offices, snd members of the fac
ulty, the departments of mathematics, Eng
lish, botany, elocution and others. There
will also be greenhouses In the attic. In
addition to the bids that are to be opened
on the central building the contract will
be let for a $40,000 fireproof addition to the
agricultural halloa new brick stoek Judging
pavilion to cost $20,000 snd two separate
greenhouses. .'AH rot the work except the
central buildlngMs tb be completed this
year. There is bo question about there
being numeroua offers on these vsrlous
buildings, as contrsctors in Des Moines,
Minneapolis, Chicago, Columbus snd other
cities .have been engaged In figuring on the
work. The plans as prepared by Proudfoot
ft Bird of this city were approved by the
building committee some time ago. The
central building will occupy the sits ot
the old building at Ames which was burned.
Aa Assessment 4 nest Ion.
The state executive council ta up against
an interesting proposition in connection
with the assessment of railroad property.
The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad reports thst in the last
year it has expended upward ot $275,000 in
permanent improvements in Sioux City, all
of which Is used as railroad property and
for railroad purposes. This Is In the pur
chase of land for yarda and new buildings
for shops. As the Omaha roed runs into
Sioux City over the Northwestern tracka
from one side and over the Dubuque ft
Sioux City tracks from ths other, the com
pany has less than one mils of actual main
line trackage In Sioux City. The course
pursued heretofore has been to distribute
the Increased value along the entire line ot
the road Id Iowa. This would glvs an addi
tional assessment to the entire fifty-seven
miles of the line in lows and add very little
to the taxable value of the property In
Sioux City. But the 8loux City people
would prefer to have the new property as
sessed locally, so that It will contribute to
the Woodbury county funds alone. This
cannot be done under the rules followed by
the council heretofore.
Made Illegal Eseaantloa.
The state officials hsve learned of a ps
cullar transaction by the board of super
visors of Linn county. The returns oa tax
ation from that county showed that Instead
of collecting taxes oa the full amount of
the assessed vale ot the telephone property
as made out by the stats executive council,
the same had been reduced by about one
third. Inquiry was made aad the county
auditor reported that the Linn county
board had exempted the farmers' telephone
companies. The ststs executive council
had assessed them, but the county authori
ties refused to collect ths state taxes
. thereon. This was entirely without au
j thority, aa there Is no provision for ths
exemption ot any class of telephone Ilaes,
I though the farmers' lines are assessed very
low.
Drnho Is Aaabltlowa.
The trustees of Drake university todsy
selected Hill M. Bell as president of ths
university an, resolved upon an effort to
raise an endowment of $1,000,000 la addi
tion to the present endowment ot nearly
$250,000. Ths trustees report that tie uni
versity was never more prosperous and thst
the opportunity for greatly increasing the
endowment la excellent. Some minor
changes in the faculty were also mads, es
pecially In the affiliated special schools.
Yeans Man Pardoned.
Governor Cummins today decided upoa
the pardon of Joseph Mullck of Howard
j county, wno was senienceo to a year la ioe
j penitentiary for assault with Intent to com
I mlt great bsdlly Injury. He bad engaged
I In a scuffle with another young man and

The Increase will be substantially as that

fled with this and there will be no strike.

The democratic state convention will
probably be postponed from June 17 to
June 24, because ot college commencements
and other gatherings thst conflict. The
state central committeemen have author
ised Chairman Jackson to announce the
change.
It is understood thst Oovernor Cummins
