City Attorney Murdock waa notifled yes
terday that tha state supretne court had
handed down decisions favorable to the city
In tha gaa company caaea. TUeaa cases
horve been In the courts for nearly five
years and by the decision of tha supreme
court tha olty will be reimbursed to tha
amount; of f7.Hu.
When tha Omaha Oaa company secured
a franchise to lay,, mains In the city of
South Omaha It gave an indemnifying bond
In the sura of $10,000 to the city. While
trenches and mains were being laid" In
the alley . between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-third atrects and M and N streets
Paul Elsfelder while jumping across the
trench fell In and broke' an arm and was
otherwise Injured. Suit waa brought against
tha city an a judgment rendered for $tt0.
This waa paid. Then cam the Edward
Burn accident at Twenty-third and N
streets. Burke secured a judgment for
lACmO, which tha city paid out of the judg
ment fund.
.When A. H. Murdock took hold of the
legal department of tha city he brought
suit to recover theaa amounts from the
gaa company. The district court gave the
city judgment against the gas company
but an appeal to the supreme court was
taken. " By tha decision of the supreme
court tha gas .company will be compelled
to pay the city ,2u0 In tha Bltfelder case,
being principal and Interest up to date, and
' In tha Burke' case the gaa company will
have to pay the city C.too.
It Is understood the Alex Bchlegel case
WtU the same way and this will mean
f7UQ mora for tha city.
In speaking of these cases yeeterday
Mr. Murdock said that should tbls nicney,
which must be paid at the expiration of
forty days, be turned into the Judgment
fund of the city there will be no need o(
malting a, levy for Judgmenta this year..
'City officials and others were compli
menting City Attorney .Murdock on his
victory yesterday. He has worked hard on
these caaea and the - decision of the su
preme court bears out his line or argument
before the courts.

NEW TAX LEVY EFFECTIVE
Ordinances Are Sign ad by Mayor and Fat
in Operation.
MUCH COMPLAINT OYER HIGH TAXES
Measnre Meets with Strong; Criticism,
bnt City Treasurer Hennlnga
Takes Cheerfal View of
Situation.
The "ordinances authorising a 14-mlll tax
levy have been signed by Mayor Moorea
and are now In operation. Inasmuch aa
the levy and the amount proposed to be
raised are tha largeat In the history of the
city, the knowledge Is causing a general
complaint. Property owners of all kinds
are Inceused at the enormity of tba taxes
they , will have to pay this year. .
At the city hall It is pointed out that tha
burden will fall Just prior to the election of
representatives In the legislature, which
fact should assist In a very practical way
the fight for a more equitable taxation of
local railway property.
Concerning' the 14-mlll levy City Treas
urer Hennlngs saya: i
'There Is no one In tha city who deplores
more than I that tho mayor and city coun
cil were obliged to make such an enor
mously high levy. On account of the 8.75
mill levy In 1903, which produced from
tSUO.OOO to $400,00 less than was necessary
to run the city, the council was forced to
Increase the levy In 1904.
'History Is repeating Itself. Every few
years tha error la made to levy less money
than the fixed charges amount to, which
causes an overlap for those years and
which some time will have to be made
good.
till for Scavenger Act.
"If the county commissioners had adopted
for tha year 1903 the so-called scavenger
act, as I advocated and a great number of
taxpayera desired, wa would have been
able to get along with a greatly reduced
tax levy.
'I believe in the long run that this high
levy will be for the benefit of the city;
certainly It will be if the money ralaed
Is used economically.
The financial situation of our city la
clearing up mora and more and I know
that the city is In a much better condition
than a few years ago. We hope to clear
up the special tax litigation In 1904, and
while a lurge amount of special taxes
have been saddled on the city at large, tha
total bonded debt will not exceed t&OO,.
000 (excluding the school debt). Thla. is
no greater than the bonded debt of any
city of similar alse.

OMAHA VIEW BUSY ON SEWERS
Saddle Creek Gets Attention la the
' Form at a Iteaolntlosi of
Condemnation.
Tha Omaha View Improvement club went
on' record last night as condemning tha
majority of the Board of Public Worka in
Its action In the Saddle Creek sewer-matter,-
A' resolution to that effect was paased
by an unanimous vote and tha secretary
waa directed to vtransmlt the resolution
to the city council.' The passage of ths
resolution ' followed' a talk on sewer mat
ters by W. B. Ten'.Eyck.
F. E. Olsen reported thst the experiment
waa 'made a tew daya ago at the Omaha
View school building to see how quickly
the .school children from the two upper
rooms oould be gotten out of the bullldling
by tha fire escape. . It took three and one
half minutes. He was of tha opinion that
in caaa of a fire they never would have
got' out. The matter will' be taken up by
the school committee to see if more effi
cient fir escapes, cannot ba provided for
the building.
Mr. Ten Eyck gave out tha route of the
Saddle Creek sewer In response to a gen
eral lequest, which he said was to extend
about 3,100 feet, starting from near Hamil
ton' and Forty-eighth streets west. ot. the
city limits, running from there straight to
an alley on Lafayette west of Forty-sixth
street in Walnut Hill addition, then straight
to Cuming. atreet east of Forty-sixth street
to an alley east of Forty-fifth avenue In

SECOND EXPLOSION IN LESS THAN YEAR
Warship at Once Ordered to New York

tlon tf the Mys
tery. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Captaln Trnir;.
president of the Board of Inspection und
Survey, telegraphs to tho Navy depart
ment from Fort Monroe that while Uie
Board of Inspection was testing tho. bat
tery on the battleship Iowa both guns In
the starboard forward eight Inch turret
blew off their muzzles. . No damage .was
done except to the guns and one whale
boat.
Immediately on receipt of the U-legnitji
announcing the accident Secretary, Moody
sent a dispatch calling for full details and
ordering the Iowa to proceed at once to
New York for examination and rcpHlrs.
This second explosion on the Iowa In lens
than a year hna cast a gloom over the offi
cials of the Navy department. The cause
of the explosion off Panama last year, in
which there was a loss of life and consid
erable damage to the ship, remains a mys
tery. Several boards attempted to clear It up,
but without deHnlte result. UnUl the de
tails of the accident are obtained Reitr
Admira, o'Neil. chief of ordnance, la un
- lnlng to peculats as to ths cause. The
Blarmnf. future of theae two accidents Is
tha ,ppl.ehen,jon growing In naval circles
that the older guna In the navy are not
, atrong enough to permit the use of amoke-
lexs powder.
It Is declared that none of the Iowa's
guns had been fired much over 100 times,
and the officials discredit the theory that
the life of , any of that vessel's gun has
been exhausted. It was said tndny-tthnt
the Iowa had ken supplied with a new
allotment of powder, which had been thor
oughly tested.
