In his article of the 20th he advances a theory which, if properly interpreted, sug- gests that the city of Omaha exists fc itself alone and Is as far removed from the balance of Douglas county as though a Chinese wall were erected about its borders through which he assumes that the nelgh- boring residents must ever seek admission for the purchase of the supplies and neces- saries of life; tnrough a force of circum- stances and not from choice. The tone of this article also presumes that the city should not be taxed for any improvement whatever not wholly within the city limits and he suggests that if Douglas county wants roads outside of the city that they should be constructed by funds ralsed by taxation upon property outside of the limis of the city. There is no doubt but that a very large sum of money might ve saved to the resi- dents of Douglas county were the two gov ernments merged into one, and thus abolish a large number of offices’ now maintained, but Mr. Olsen knows as well as any one that this is not a practical question to be treated, under our present ws. We must accept conditions as we find them and not as we would have them. However many improvements T might sug- gest in our present form of government (and they are many) [ wish only to correct any misunderstanding that may arisen in reference Lo the improvement of our county roads by reason of the articles referred to. In the articles from the pen of our es- teemed city comtroller it is not suggested that there Is any legal bar to making thesy {mprovements’ in the manner proposed, o, therefore, I assumo that he recognizes that the territory within the city of Omaha is as much a part of Douglas county as Douglas county is a part of the state, so that the proposition to be answered Is whether or not such improvements are of a general benefit to the whole county.

At the couclusion of the argument the board took an adjournment until tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. It is belteved upon good authority that a majority of the mem- bers of the board are in favor of declining to adopt the recommendations of the secre- taries. One member of the board stated to Tho Bee this evening that he knew of three members of the board who were in favor of excusing the companies from constructing the switches. SIMPLY DROPPED DEAD. About noon today intelligence was con- veyed to Coroner Crim of a peeuliarly sud- den_death that occurred a short time before at College View. A man living in the vicin- ity of the tragie occurrence brought the news, He related that a man riding in a two-wheeled cart had stopped in the road about a mile south of Union college to in- quire of some parties he met as to where he was likely to find work. While he was talk- ing he suddenly fell out of the cart, appar- ently dead. Coroner Crim went to the scene of the tragedy and Impaneled a jury. The verdict was to the effect that the man ““dropped dead.” The remains were brought to the city this afternoon and identified as those of John Hussong, living at 527 South ing the | cupy his time during the summer months and he will maintain his relations with the Nebraska university during the remain- ing month of the year. . OMATHA, April Question of Transfer Switches Discussed Before the State Board HOPE OF THE RAILROAD oturns. resulted in follows: 0. LAWYERS They Expect to 1 terests Pro- tected on w Fine-Spun Theory of the DIsability of Forelgn LINCOLN, April 5.—(Special to The Bee.) ~The State Roard of Transportation met - Y inis afternoon to take up the consideration of the cases in which the secretaries recom- mend that transfer switches be put in at Sehuyler and at O'Neill. The Union Pacific and the B. & M. are intorested at Schuyler and both roads were represented by attor- neys, the former by J. H. Ames of this city and the latter by J. W. Deweese. Mr. De- we made a brief argument upon behalf of iy company, laying down three general ER—The election Tuesday propositions “That the Board of Transportation has no power to enforce the law, It provide for the purchaxe of right of way and the ey tension of line, and the state of Nebraska has no right or authority to compel any rail- rond company to extend its line if it oes not see fit, It the state can compel a railrond (o construct a short line it can com- pelit to constrict a long one, entirely across the == it necessary. The B. & M. would have to construct the switeh alone, as far as sccuring the right ot way Is concerned. The constitution of Ne- braska prohibits any forelgn corporation not chartered under the laws of the sate from exercising the right of domain. “There is no necessity for the tramsfer switch at Schuyler, as shown by the testi- mony." Mr. Ames respectfully presented to the consideration of the board the provision of the constitution which prohibits the Union Pacific from exercising the right of eminent domain In reply o the arguments of the attor- neys Secretary Dilworth siid that the secre- taries are not entitlpd to pass upon the ustitutionality of tho transfer switch law. The law does not authorize or direct the State Hoard of Transportation to enforce the law. It the roads are ordered by the board to put in the (ransfer switches and refuse to comply they must answer in courts to the executive power of the state. The transfer switch law requires Al railroad companies touching at common iuts to construct transfer switches. They cannot ovade the law unless they can prove 1o the satisfaction of the board that to con- struct such o switeh would be unusually und excessively burdensome. In the ecase At Schuyler the secretarios had taken evidenc and Investiguted the matter. They had reached the conelusion hat the construction of the switch would ot be burdensome. It could be constructed without any great amount of work and would vequire the laying of less than 1,000 feet of track. Therefore, the secretaries had recom- ided that the prayer of the railroads in- sted, that they b excused from construct- ing the switch, be denied. Mr. Dilworth also answered the argument made by Mr. Deweese 10 the effect that the state had no power to compel a railroad company to extend its line, by saying that it was clearly estab- lished that the state had the power to order « railroad company to provide the necessary Tacilities trausaction of the business of Its patrons, The nstruction of a switeh would not under the head of an ex- tenslon of & main line. It could only be classed as an increase of facilities. Attorney Hawley, who was present to represent the Elkhorn road, asked that his case at O'Neill be heard at the same tim He made a very brief argument against the recommendation of the secretaries, clalming «*®that the trausfer switch law was either wmendatory o the maximum freight law or else that the maximum rate law was amenda- 10ry Lo the transfer switch law, The stato State DECATUR—At the village clection Tues- day the following board of trustees was elected: H.

Let us county du cc: There was expended by the ng the fiscal year ending July 1, 1803, $321,589.60, not including that portion of the road fand which by law belongs to the cities of Omaha and South Oma ot this sum the taxable property within the city limits contributed §2 . $65,40.59 being raised outside the city limits and the balance, 94.26, belng excess fees col- lected at the various offices in the court louse. In the expenditure of these funds $231,756.27 was paid out wholly to residents of the city of Omala: $5 86 was paid for improvements outside of the city limits, fully one-halt of which went to residents of the city, or afterwards found its way back into the hands of our merchants and busl- ness men. Thirty-seven thousand four hun- dred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety- seven conts was went to New York to pay interest on bonds, which represent improve- ments made almost wholly within the city limits, and cn a basis of the valuation of property 76 per cent of this was due from property inside the city limits; so that it uppears that from the oxpenditures of this year the city, fnstead of investing $1 and getting 5 cents in return, the city of Omaha received a_divect benefit from the expendi- ture of $280,4 out of 08060 ex- pended by the ecounty, towards which the city contributod $222,500.65. While it is true that the city per cent of the burden of county taxation and must pay that same proportion of t road improvement honds, yet, aside from the continual benefit that the eity will derive from the fmprovement itsclf,” 90 per cent of the money invested will find fts way back into the channels of trade among the bu ness men of our city, 8o that instead of roturn of ts for each dollar invested the city gets a return of about $1 for cach 5 cents invested. So much has been said about the actual benefits of good roads lead- ing into our suburban districts that it is unnecessary for me to rehearse them fur- ther than to state that in many ways they contribute to the growth and prosperity of the city. No one will undertake to deny that real estate incre in value just in proportion as it becomes accessible to the t centers of trade.
