BIERBOWER PLACED IN CHARGE. the | | Take Charge of Find- Judge in tie Case— Alonzo B, Mechnni Ings of th An Inte Hunt W al Part of the Plant esting Letter. The colobrated Amorican Waterworks wrangle which bas for about three months been keeplug tho stockholders, officers and employes of the great corporation, which | owns the splendid waterworks plant in this | city and is closely reoted, financlally, with the waterworks plants in the city of Denver, in a state of anxious uncertainty, has at iast beon brought to a chimax by tho appointment of a receiver for the plant in this city The various phases in this financial diffi- culty biave been published in Tie Bee from time t time as they uppoared. Tne imme- (ito cause of this deeisive action on the part of the vourt was the application of the Den ver Waterworks company, tho Denver City Waterworks company and seven of the stockholders in the American Waterworks compuny, for the appointment of a receiver for tho plaut in Omaha. It was claimed that affairs of the American Waterworks com- pany were being manipulatea by Mr. C. H. Venner and other officers of tho compauy in such n manuer as to defraud the Donver Clty Waterworks company, the Denver Waterworks compary and other holders of the stock belonging to the American Wate works company. Tho application for the appointment of a receiver was presented to the United States district court, in session at Lincoln, in January, but was rot decided until yesterday., Findings of the ¢ co! y se! ‘ourt, In appointing the reccivers Judgo Dundy read the following findings in the case Ihe two corporations named as com- Jants in the bill were incorporated and d now exist under and pursuant 10 tho laws of the state of Colorado. “Tho other complainants ara citizens of the stateof Colorado and are stockholders in the said corporations. The Amcrican Water- works company, the defendaut corporation, was iucorporated aud organized and now exists under and pursuant to the laws of the stateof New Jersey T'hat the compiainant water works com- panies and the Omaha City Waterworks compuny consolidated the business concerns situated at the two cities by conveging their respectivo properties to the defendant, the v Jersoy corporation, which now owus, operates and controls the same. “Ihat the New Jersey corporation had the legal right to purchase, take, hold, operate and control the property conveyed to 1t by the Denver and Omaha city companes and to engago generally in the business described in the bill, “Tuat theseveral complainants in the bill aro tho actuai and_ lawful owners of a majority of the stock in the defendant corporation, motwithstanding Veuner, defendant, or the defendant tself, may withhold from the parties entitled thereto the prover certificates showing the amount of stock to which each shareholder may be entitied and, being such owners, they and each of them have such a proprietary in- terest 1 the property descrived in the bill as to authorize the bringing and prosecution of this suit. “That a court of equity can properly take jurisdiction of such a case as tho one de- scribed in the bill and can geant the relief prayed for, by appointing a receiver to take possession of the property involved in the litigation, and protect aud hold the same for tho benerit of the creditors ana stockliolders, until a proper governing body can be brought 1nto existence 10 operate, manage and control the property of the defendunt. “That at the present time_and at the time of thic commencement of this suit thero was no law ful istituted governing body of the defendant corporation and 1o ofticer or ofticers who had the right to bind the corvo- ration nor dircct and manage its general af- fairs. “I'hat about tho time the defendant corpo- ration acquired the property in controversy the defendants Venner & Co., became largely indebted 1o it, and a¥ the tine of the com- mencement of this suit was indebted to it in more than the sum of $180,000; that notwith- standing all this Venner, as ono of tho ofti- cors of the defondant corporation, executed to bimself and the company an_ obligation of the dofendant company for more than §100,- 000, id to have been for work done and material furnistod for said company, and put the rote on the market or at least out of his possession: and otler like injurious acts are liable to occur at any time if matters are permitted to remain in statu quo.

Couuclimen Who See o the Burden of Taxation, The ordinance fixing tne tax levy for 1802 for city purposos has haa its threo readings in the council and 1s now in the hanas of the Unless this ordinance is vetoed before next Tuesday night it will beceme a law and the levy for 1802 will stand at 41 mills on the dollar, Some members of the council claim that it will require a 41-mill levy to furnish the necessary amount of money to run the city during the next year, while others hold that a 35-mill lovy would furnish all the funds that would be needed, provided the affairs of tho city were run upon an economical plan, Among the gentlemon who hold tho latter opinion, is Councilman Elsasser, This gen tleman bas made astudy of the financial condition of the city and claims to kuow whereof he speaks. Yesterday in dis- cussing theisubject he said: When to Save, Chance to Ligh “The preseat council 1s known as a ‘re- form’ council. Most of tho members were eleeted upon that platform aud if thoy wish and expect to carey out the ideas of reform they can do nothing better than strike a blow that will do uway with tho evil of high taxa- tion. While I lay no claims to being a reformer, I can prove to the satisfaction of the most skeptical porson that a roduction can be made in the levy without the city ex poriencing any inconveniences. “In the fivst piace, last year the valuation of city property as taken from the assess- ment "books was 31,473, The lo mills, raised $701,105.05. The ) ver which was available amounted to $655,076. Of this levy 14 mills were on the general fund, and that fund is the one that I desire to discuss. The levy raised §250,440.62, of which thesum ol #252,306.55 was available un *It is neld, and possibly ast admimistration was an nnd was not tinetured with reform. Take it for granted that such was the case, the city treasurer’s balance sheet, mado January 1, 18602, shows that 2733545 remained unex: pended oo that date, “‘Now, I hold that we can run the city this yearon an S mill levy for general fund pur- poses and I have theé figures to prove that this is not ouly an opinion buta fact that I defy any person to disprove, “This vear our valuation £20,350,000 aud on this %0 per levy would bring into t round numbers $144,000. sum would not run the city, but there are other things to be considered. There have been cuts and decreases along the line, These cuts have been as follows: On salaries paid watchmen wo will save $1,500: on appraisers, £00; on abstracting, $1,000; advortising, £,000; rents (for we wil bein our own building), £4,000; compiling tax list, §1,000; hospitals, £1,000; hauling dead ammals ' (for we have & bid 'from a party who witl haul them free of charge), 81,500 street lighting, 65,000 (a special levy is mado for this pur- P0se) city taxes, & damages in opening streets, £5,000; viaducts, $2,000, This amounts to $02,000 that can be saved in tnis direc- tion. t is true, that the exponsive one is incroased to Some 1In “In rogard ense In Expenses, to the damages under the amended charter the money comes from special levy against the property benefited instead of being paid out of the general fund. Tho repairs to be made on the viaducts shoula and can be assessed against the rail- roads, as the ordinances of tho city provide that theso structures shall bo kept in repair at the expense of the railroad companies. *‘The increase in oxpenses will be as fol- lows: City council, $3,000: sewer inspection, £2,000 and city treasurer, §5,000, which makes atotal of $10,000. Take' this from the de- crease in expenditures and we have a net saving of 2,000, which will go into the gen- eral fund. “Last year we paid the city treasuror a commission on his collections” and allowed him to retain the interost that he received on the city deposits, but now we pay him a sal- ary and the city takes the interest on the de- posits. His salary, $5,000, I have mentioned, and in accepting the pronosition of the bonds tho general fund will receive the interest on tho city aeposits, which at 2 per cent, will not be less than $12,000. “Last vear the police court, the plumbing, ouilding, licouse aud other departments, turned §33,000 n fees into the general fund, and there is no reason why the amount should be less this year. I'be county owes the city $25,000 of road fund, which can and will be collected. ‘This, also, would go into the general fund, and then there is the tax which wo will re- ceive from the railroad property which was assessed a fow weeks ago. Property amount- ing to about §00,000 was put vpon the tax list, the revenue from which will amount to over $12,300. Add all this together ana you will find that you will have enough money to run the city with more than £05,000 to spare, and this, mind you, will be on an S-mill levy for general fund purposes. If the ordinance passes and the levy for the gencral fund re- mains at 11 mills the sum of §120,000 will lie idle in the treasury. 0ssibly this is business, but T cannot see it in that light. 'To tell the truth it looks to me as though we wero going upon the plan of a man who borrowed #1,000 to pny a £00 debt. The extra amount, 1t is true, he would have, but Lie could want it for no other pur pose than simply to say thathe baa cash on hand.” —————— Chamberlain's ¢ Mr. C.

To complete the organization after the recent election of oficers, President Boggs stated that ho would, if there were no objection, appoiat the same standing com mitteos as those of last year, with the excep- tion of W.

Tho vacancy in those committees will be filled later by the president of the asso ciation. Phanix Tron Company, The question of raising 3,000 for tho Pheenix Iron Foundry company came up by Attorney John T. Cathers making a state- ment as to the condition of the works. Mr. Cathers saia that the company had turned out its first car wheels last Saturaay and the foundry's capacity was now only fourteen wheels'a day. The concern wanted to in- crense its capacity, so negotiations had been made with the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacifie, whereby those compaaies would take all the car wheels the foundry could pro- duce. 1f the Union Pacitic alone can be sup- plied ne' the home industry, Mr. Cathers stated that it would be a saving of at least £0,000 & year to the company on freight. The Omaha Street Railway company also wants to use their wheels, but according to Mr, Cathers the foundry cannot supply the demand, for the reason that the company is in need of funds to purchase stock and in crense its capacity for manufacturing tho goods. “If we get one successful manufactory of this kina,” said he, “‘others will come here, The company will put up the stock in trust in order to get the stock subscribed.” He further said thatJohn A. Harbaugh 1 subseribed for §100 worth of stock and thought the street railway company would tako soveral shaves. Mr. Boggs then stated that he would indi- vidually take $100 worth of stock. Ho thought others would do likewise if the subscription was in the nature of a loan. The question was discussed at length and was finally referred to a special committea composed of Messrs, Cathers, Taylor and Dumont. Milling-in-Transit Rate.
