which ars worrying the ltgal department,
of the city.
A Afferent of opinion exlsta at to
whether the council hai the right to pass
uch an ordinance. Tha statutes atate that
M emergency ordinance can be passed In
two InMances-that of an epldemlo or In
case of unforeseen accidents.
City Attorney Klne Inclines to the opinion
that the emergency can ha created under
tha "unforeseen accident" provision, but a
diligent search of court records falls to dis
close a esse which will bear out thia In
terpretation. Neither the city attorney nor Assistant
City Attorney W. C. Lambert, who art
investigating tha question, hava reached a
definite conclusion.
Lambert, however, does not tend to the
belief of Rine. Ho far he has failed to dis
cover a provision where such an ordinance
can he passed, ha aaya.
Should the ordinance be passed, council
embers want to know where they are
mg to get the money. I'nllke most
other cities, Omaha's charter dues not per
mit the borrowing of money. So the only
way to get the funds will be to draw on
the unappropriated funds of the city.
All the tax levy and practically all of
the estimated miscellaneous receipts hava
been appropriated by the council. Should
the eatlmate of the city comptroller on the
amounts to. be received from occupation
taxes and other resources be borna out,
bout a,OuO will be available during tha
year, if It la paid. But, should tha esti

be paid, tha city would be up against it.

It Is from thia 1S.O00 that the council
may get the money for the garbarge ques

commissioner, put the amount at SS.OOO.

In the district court before acy of tha
money la expended. City Attorney Rlne
characterises It as a "friendly" suit, but
Harry Zlmman, who la opposing the
scheme, declares the city will not have to
resort to "friendly" tests. Xlmman aaya
he will furnish all the unfriendly test that
tha legal department may desire. Zlmman
stated Friday that he would oppose any
rliempt to .pasa the emergency ordinance.
Dr. Connell, health commissioner, hat
cellared that unlesa the city makea some
provision for tha collection and removal of

RAILROAD LISTS ITS
PROPERTY AT TRUE VALUE
Attorney for Northwestern Raplalae
Why Road Valuation Is Higher
Tfcaa AMcaeor'a.
'The so-called over-vaJuatlon of North
western and Omaha road - properties Is
nothing mora than,' the real valuation of
our railroad property In thia etat," de
clared Benjamin T White, general attorney
for the Northwestern lines west of tha
Missouri. "And it la nothing new thia year,
a It has been valued 'that way for six or
even years.
"Tears ago tha railroads of this state
valued their property on an equivalent
basis with what the owners of property
naar them were placing their valuations.
(Today we disregard tha valuations of farm
ers and other property owners along our
right-of-way and pay taxes on what It Is
worth to us.
"Personally, of course, I hava nothing to
do with the valuation of property, but I
can asHur you It haa nothing to do with
tha rates based oil physical valuation, as
there can be no such basing. If there was
such a rate rule a road in poor condition
could haul traffic much cheaper than a
Una with more money In Ita building.
"But tha valuations will probably be
anade each year on the basis they are now,
as tha road Is obliged to awear Ita Hat of
Vpmperty now."

adventures of a boy whose own parents
have died, snd who turns to the woman
who gave him tha most tender of mother
care with an ever-Insistent demand for
eome Information a to hla father. How
this question finally had to be answered
and how It was answered Is one of the
most pleaatng things of tha book. It is
Mr. Abbott's first venture in the way of a
volume, but Ita promise is of more and
better things in days to come.

Proposition for Spending Hundred

WILL HOLD A SPECIAL ELECTION

Proposal Three New
Balldlaa Needed.
Citizen of Omaha will be asked to vote
bonds in the aura of about tlOO.000 for th
erection tf three engine houses. The ques
tion will be submitted at the time the spe
cial elections are held to vote fS,166,0O to
settle th water litigation and for $250,000
to complete th Douglas county court
house, if present plans are carried out.
Following a tour of Inspection of the
city's fir house Thursday afternoon, the
committee on publlo bulldinga and grounds
of the city council and members of ths
fire and polic board decided to ask for
th issu of bonds t replace two engine
houses and erect a new one.
Mayor Dahlman will meet with the Board
of County Commissioners Saturday after
noon and arrange to have th election held
in conjunction with th ether election.
Should th bond be voted, a new engine
house will be erected at Sixteenth and
Izard streets, on th lt of th present
building Another will be constructed in
th vicinity of Tenth and LKugla, te re
place th on there; while th third will
be built at Nineteenth and Harney streets,
and will take th place of the on now lo
cated at Eighteenth and Harney streets.
City official and Charles A. Salter, chief
of th fir department, consider th engine
houses at Sixteenth and Isard and Tenth
and Douglas unsafe and wholly inadequate.
"Both of the building are dangerous,"
declare Salter, "and unlesa they are re
paired or new engine houses built, acci
dent are liable to happen which will In
volve th city in expensive, litigation.
"To repair th Isard street house will
cost la th neighborhood of $2,500. After
this money will have been spent, we will
have nothing but a half bouse, which must
be replaced Boon.
"v also propos to move th houa at
Tenth and Pouglaa a trifle. Th present
house ia ao bammed In by railroad track
that it la next to impossible to get in or
out. The present alte, 12x80, can be aold
and a new one bought, on which can be
erected a modern angina house."
Mayor Dahlman said that tha bond iasua
would ba put up to tba people. "I shall g
before tha county board Saturday afternoon
and make arrangements so our election
can be held at the aama time as tba
county and Water board elections, if
necessary, w will ask them to delay their
election a week or ao, ao we can get la
and cut expense. W have not decided
just how much money w will need, but it
will run in th neighborhood of 1 100. 000,
possibly mora"
