NEW PLANT FOR TELEPHONES
Three SubBtationB or One Big Main Quar

PRESENT PLACE MAY BE ENLARGED
Rapid Increase In Business Overtaxes
Switchboard and Company la Com
pelled to Prorlde Mack
Greater Facilities.
Will the Nebraska Telephone company
put up three substation buildings or will
additional operating room be provided in
the older part of the present central ex
change by tearing out some of the general
offices?
That is the question which General Man
ager Vance Lane and his staff have been
trying to answer during three weeks and
which irlll tako them something more than
the, same amount of time In the future to
answer. The decision rests on which en
largement of facilities will give the lowest
rate of operating expenses.
The company owns no more land at
Eighteenth and Douglas streets than Is
now used, by its two buildings. No more
can, be obtained there. But at Thirty-third
and Harney streets the company has a lot
which was bought some time before the
newer part of the present exchange was
begun. At that time the same Question was
under consideration and the substations
were in favor. Later it was decided to
build on Eighteenth, street. If the investi
gations now under way tend to show the
outside stations are desirable a building
about 60x100 ;feet in ground plan and two
stories and basement in height will be put
up at Thirty-third and Harney streets. If
this is done, the system will be extended
north and south and similar exchanges
built in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and
Lake streets and Blxteenth and Caatellar.
Ths company does not own land, however,
in either of these neighborhoods.
Ten Thousand 'Phones.
The sresent switchboard will accommo
date 10,000 "phones. It was put in only this
spring and at the time was supposed to be
lurge enough to aocommodate the Increase
of business for a long time. Now Mr. Lane
is looking far beyond the 10.000. He is at
present Inclined to believe the most eco
nomical manner of Increasing the capacity
will be to use some of the present offices
for operating space. This will take a con
siderable part of the space now used by
the olerical and executive forces.
A thorough examination of the field Is
under way. The city la being canvassed.
The number of 'phones in each section of
the city Is considered and the number of
additional houses in each neighborhood
which might take Instruments is estimated.
Then the question to be decided is whether
it will be cheaper to put up the new ex
changes or run cables to the central house
and then operate them.
Ths increase in business is beyond all ex
pectations of the management. One thou
sand telephones have been ordered during
the last six weeks. Borne of these are to
be put in after January 1. but between 600
and 700 are now in place. Mr. Lane ex
pects the demand to continue for some time.
SMALL EFFECT IN OMAHA
Secretary Shaw'a Demand on Hanks
Regarded by Local Dankera as
Trivial Matter.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has
called for the repayment of 26 per cent of
the special deposits made by the depart
ment with national banks, 10 per cent to be
paid January 10, 1906, and 15 per cent March
15. This is the second call on the special
deposit funds, the last having been made
last spring and for, 25 per cent.
Asked what effect this action would have
on the banks of this city Vice President
McQrew of the Omaha National bank sad:
"It will be a matter of very little im
portance; probably not over $75,000 will be
withdrawn from our banks through this
call. There is no reason why it should
disturb the financial situation of the coun
try in the slightest. If there was any dan
ger of unsettling financial conditions Sec
retary Shaw would not make the demand."

PROTESTS NOT IN THUS FAR
Complaints on Low Assessment of Big
Property Expected by Board.
METZ WANTS THE COLISEUM EXEMPT
Request Not Granted, bat Promise Is
Made that Merely Nominal
Assessment Will Do
Levied.
Protests that the assessments of many
corporations and business houses of Omaha
are too low are expected by the Board of
Review, but have not materialized thus
far. From what source the protests will
come is not known, but the statement is
made that E. D. Pratt, an attorney, who
appeared In a similar way before the last
County Board of Equalization, will present
the cases. '
Fred Mets of the Board of Governors of
the Ak-Sar-Ben has requested the board
to cancel the taxes on the Coliseum, which
was bought by the knights during the
last year for $11,000.
He holds the institution is seml-publio
In Its nature and that the property is
maintained for the general good of the
city. Mr. Mets was Informed the board
had no authority to remit the taxes on
the building or real estate, but promised
him' it would make the assessment on
the building merely nominal. It was
pointed out, however, that reductions can
scarcely be made in the real estate from
the standard fixed for surrounding prop
erty. Cost of Coliseum.
iChalrman Klerstead, who was connected
for years with the Coliseum, said the
structure had cost a total of 164,000. The
lots are now -valued by Tax Commissioner
Fleming at $9,500. He had assessed the
whole property at I14.0GO, an Increase of
$1,500 over last year, the Increase being
on account of improvements made by the
Ak-Sar-Ben after its obtained possession
The Stors Brewing company lias made a
return on personal property of $72,000,
whereas last year the figures were only
$24,000. Of the valuation given this year
$46,000 is for money in the bank. Chairman
Klerstead pointed out that the accumula
tion of cash is undoubtedly for ths purpose
of paying saloon licenses within the next
month. The Stors company has forty
eight saloons in Omaha, the license for each
being $1,000, meaning $48,000 in license
money. The operation of the law will re
quire the payment of taxes upon money
paid as taxes, It appears.
f ha return Is noted by the board as an
other Instance to show that many corpora
tions are striving to make honest returns
this year.
Smelter's FlftTnrcs ths lama.
The American Smelting and Refining
company has filed Its schedule, giving ths
valuation at $700,000, which is the same as
the return and assessment last year.
Judge Bears has just made a decision in
favor of the city and against the conten
tions of ths telegraph companies, ths rul
ing being to the effect that ths city has
the right to assess the value of ths fran
chise as the gross receipts for ths local
office during ths preceding year, adding
the tangible property.
This tight is given by ths new revenue
law. but was contested by ths Western
Union in connection with the 1904 city taxes,
alleging that the manner of making ths
assessment Was arbitrary and unjust.
Ths Western Union has returned ths sum
of $lt,5!j0 as gross receipt and value of the
franchise for ths present assessment and
in addition $8,000 for tangible property, tOUO
for office plant and $3,000 for pole lines.
The pole lines on railroad right-of-way are
declared exempt and returnable to tho
state board in the same manner as railroad
property. This Tax Commissioner Fleming
disputes and is preparing to assess upon
this property locally.
