Supplied under Royal Warrants to Her Majesty the Queen of England, and to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Board of Fqualization Cuts Down the As- sessed Valuation of the Oity, CORPORATIONS GVIN LARGE FAVORS Water Works Cut from 850,000 to 820, 000, and Grand Hotel from 820,000 to $10,000—John Evans Wins His Sidewnik Kick. The Board of Equalization met last even- ing and struggled manfully for the first time with some of the problems that con- | tronted it at the tail end of its existence. The water works asscssment was brought up and Manager E. W. Hart asked that the assessment be put back to $29,750 in- stead of $60,000, the figure to which it was raised by the board. He. was careful to make no promises, but said that he would recommend to the company that it should not hold the city to a strict compliance with the terms of the charter ordinance, but allow fire hydrants to be put in at a distance of 800 feet from one another, thus cutting down the city’s expenses, Councilman Darstow favored granting the request, saying that the city was in such shape that any concessions that might be secured from the company would help the city out of part of its pi ent troubles. The motion was carried unanimously. Lucius Wells presented the request of the Grand Hotel company for a_reduction of assessment on the hotel from $20,000, where it was put by the assessor. He detailed the trials and tribulations of the company in getting the establishment opened, and said that the company was not getting a dollar out of the property this year, and did not expect to for a year or two. He showed the bad results that would come to the city in case the hotel had to be closed, and thought patriotism should lead the council to grant his request. Greenshields moved that the assessment be reduced to $15,000, and Brown amended it by substituting $10,000, Rishton ob- an outrage upon the taxpayers of the city,” said he, “'to make the poor pay their taxes and let the rich go. It's all folly to say that Council Bluffs couldn't be a city without the Grand hotel. Why, I've seen better times here before the Grand hotel was thought of than there are now.” Nevertheless, the assessment was reduced to $10,000, and seven councilmen voted for the cut. Mrs. Amy's assessment was reduced from $1,000 to $500. A motion was made to reduce the assess- ment of the Grand Detour Plow company from $2,000 to $1,000. Mayor Cleaver thought it was an outrage for the city to knock off $21,000 from the assessment of a big corpora- tion like the water works company and then refuse to do likewise with the smaller con- cerns. The cut was made, Brewick and Brown voting no. The assessment of H. L. Smith & Co. was reduced from $500 to $300. The board ad- Journed and reconvened as the city council. The taxes of Eliza R. Wiley, a soldier's widow, were remitted. The 'request of Aultman, Miller & Co. for a remission of taxes was {abled. The petition of Lincoln avenue residents to be allowed to lay a five-foot sidewalk up to the property line sa as to save the shade trees was granted. The petition for the grading of Fifteenth avenue from the east line of Fairmount ad- dition to Fairmount avenue was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. F. J. Day registered a vigorous kick against the building of sidewalks, as pro- posed in the ordinance recently passed. Res- idents of Aveune G did the same thing. Both kicks were placed on flle. The question of building a sidewalk on Avenue B from Twenty<econd to Twenty- eight street was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. Councihman Shubert said he had confterred with T. J. Evans, who was responsible for most the kicking that was being done over the sidewalk ordinance, and he would be satisfied it Twenty-ninth street should be cut out. He recommended that this be done, and the recommendation was concurred in. The question of requiring L. H. Mossler to lay a new sidewalk in front of his Fourth street residence was referred to the com- mittee of the whole. NEW BAKG\LINS At the Boston Store.

H. White, involy- ing a lot in Turley's glen, was on trial. Myrtue claims that he bought a lot thirt eight feet in width from White, but when b came to measure it found it was only twenty-six feet wide. He applied to White for redress, and White fixed matters up as best he could by having the street pushed over a few feet. In this way he brought the lot up to within two or three feet of what he supposed it was when he sold it. But Myrtue has tired of his bargain, and is now suing White to have the tale set aside and to get his money back. The trial was not completed. White claimes the difficulty was due to the mistake on the part of the engin- eer who surveyed the land.

At that time the company had a perfectly good bond filed, and if the decislon of the supreme court had been in faver of the plaintift his §5,000 would have THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1895 been forthcoming. But since the case has been awaiting its second trial the Insurance company has given up the ghost, its labllities being something like $300000 In excess of Its assets, and Jones' chances for getting any insurance money seem to have gone glimmer- ing. The case was to have been tried yester- day in the district court, but an indefinite continuance was agreed upon, and the proba- bility is that it will never see the daylight again.

Where Are the Limits? Andy McFarland and Ed James, two stock herders, were arrested yesterday on the charge of violating the city ordinance pro- hibiting the herding of cattle east of Twenty- sixth street and north of Fifth avenue. It now looks as though there was no law what- ever regulating this matter. There used to be a law of some kind, but no one about the city building seems to know what it was, and a decided cloud was cast over its validity by a recent action of the city council. At all events, Judge McGee, after hearing the evi- dence yesterday morning, and in spite of the fact that it was clearly shown that the two boys had herded their cattle at the corner of Sixteenth avenue and Thirteenth street, inside the district fn which herding was sup- posed to be proscribed, discharged both the defendants, Unless a new ordinance is passed this settles for good the matter about which there have been so many complaints of late, and settles it In favor of the herders. 1ig Race Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.—The sugar im- ports at this port during the first five months of this year show a slight decline as com- pared” with the same period of 1894, but it is believed that the total imports for ‘he present year will be equal to the aggregate for any previous year. The total amount of sugars brought to this port since January 1, 1895, 1s 185,930 tons, as compared with 207,- 789 tons in the corresponding period of fast year, The stock on hand amounts to 23,400 tons, as compared with 46,317 tons lzst year. The beet sugar imports are nearly 20,000 bags behind last year, caused no doubt by the extra one-tenth of 1 per cent per pound duty imposed on sugars from bounty-paying countries. Large quantities of low grade re- fined sugars have also been imported, prin- cipally from Scotland, and have found a ready sale. The London steamsnip lines ard other vessels trading with English ports have brought consignments of the foreign product on nearly every trip, and for the charged | Frank Murray, the truckman suspended pending Investigation, was on the carpet charged with absence without permission.
