Property Owners
Balk at Heavy
1922 Tax Load
Real Estate Holders Resent
Carrying Bulk of Burden
At Meeting of Omaha
Real Estate Board.
Real estate owners in Omaha are
confronted with a crisis in heavy
taxation that lias prompted them
to take combined action to resent
the increased assessments made on
local property for the 1922 levy.
This was cited in a lively talk
on current real estate conditions
made by Harry Wolf, heavy prop
erty owner, at a special meeting of
the Omaha Real Estate board in the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
More than 100 real estate owners
and agents were present.
"It is time ttiat we real estate
owners resent these increased as
sessmcnts while heavy bond hold
ers and business interests escape a
similar increase," declared Mr. Wolf.
"Furthermore, when is the school
board oroinnr to auit assessing only
real estate owners?" queried the
speaker. Several school board mem
bers who were present sialNd gra
ciously.
"Such hisrh assessments for tax
es as laid on oroocrty owners for
IMilltimMmimi!liJMiljilimy:iilv!IHimiIMI M
1922 have forced real ttte men to
an issue ol resenting the payment
of o per cent o( the total U,
Mr. Wolf staled. "It's outrageous
while business interests and the man
who owns thousands of dollar
worth of bonds concealed In some
vault are taxed only 32 per cent of
the total levy." 1
The speaker trrented figurrs to
show that while Omaha's real estate
value has increased from $I81,9(U..
015 in 19M, to $JM,5.M.WQ in 1921.
the increase in assessment has been
68 per cent plus at least 00 per cent
of the entire income from property
in the loop, which is only 40 per
cent of the city real estate.
Mr. Wolf also stated that the
county and city tax levy on real
estate has increased 72 per cent In
seven years.
According to additional tax fig
ures read by Mr. won, the increase
in taxation against real estate own
ers in Omaha since 1914 has been
270 per cent.
As a remedy agai.ist tne mgn tax
ation, tli speaker suggested that the
city and count) oliicial "watch
their accounts more ilosely."
"The ciiy pays a tax on water by.
drant rental for the fire department
of IIW.IIUO," Mr. Wolf staled. "New
York city and San Francisco pay
less, while other cities pay nothing
for that renlal."
Another meeting of the Omaha
Heat Folate lrd will be railed
soon to dinciits taxation matters
with a view to drawing up resolu
tions protecting the increased as
sessments of real estate, Mr. Wolf
said.
