Taxpayers' League Also Would Estimate Cost of New Records A protest 'against the estimate of the cost of restoring the county rec ords and indices, as submitted by Frank J. Norton, and also against the use of the books of the Midland Guaranty and Abstract company has been made as .follows by the Citizens' and Taxpayers' league: "To the Honorable Board of Com missioners of Douglas County, Ne braska, Attention Sophus Neble, Chairman Gentlemen: Several pro posals have been brought to your notice regarding the restoration of the numerical indices in the office of the register of deeds in this county which were destroyed by fire on the night of the riot, Septem ber 28. . s "We note one offer has been made T bv Frank'!. Norton to restore such records at an approximate cost 4f $235,000. Another offer from the Midland Guaranty Abstract and Title company to loan to the county the use of its abstract indices and abstract books complete up to the year of 1897 for the purpose of checking and making such copies thereon as may be deemed neces sary. In lieu of the above proposal tofurnish th abstract indexes and receive payment for the use of the books. " "This organization believes that the actual-cost made by Frank J. Norton to be high and exhorbitant, and that the use of the books of the Midland Guaranty Abstract and Title company as JioJ the best evi dence and should not be used when the records of the register of deeds office have not been totally de stroyed. We, the Citizens' and Tax payers league of Omaha, have ap pointed a committee of two to in vestigate the Condition of the rec ords and ascertain the approximate cost of restoration and ask that the Board of County Commissioners of Douglas county do not let or award any contract to any person, company or corporation until report is made by this committee, which will be in your hands not later than Novem ber 11. "We ask in the interest of the tax payers of Douelas county that no action be taken by your honorable i body without firstllowLag a com- ! mittee from this organization to $lace a report before you as to the ctual cost of restoration of these records. Respectfully submitted, Citizens' and Taxpayers' League of Omaha. By Roy M.
