Stoppiug in front of the postoffice, he left the rig in care of a young man named Smith Douglas. Just at that time the Salvation Army marched by on the other side of the street with beating drums and blaring horns. Right there was where John Oller's fine mew buggy with rubber tires and red running gears came to sudden and violent disaster. The horse took fright and before anyone realized what was happening it had kicked itself loose from the buggy and shot around the corner upon Capitol avenue, where it fell on the pavement just north of the post- office, with its feet tangled in the harness and the rempants of the buggy thills, which It Bad broken off and carried with it. The borse hurt its left leg slightly and the buggy was jammed up considerably by its beels. The fncident created a commotion for a few minutes and several people barely escaped being run into by the frightened animal.

Fitzgerald, tax c | South Omaba, bave beer | be filed in the district court this ‘morniag. | | Mayor Allen R. Kelly and Councilmen E. }JV hoston, Joseph Dworak, August Miller and | {W. B.

It is| | alleged as a reason for the impeachment of | | Fitzgerald and a basis for requesting the | court to remove him from office that he | {1s gullty of “malfeasance and misfeasance in office, for incompetency in office, for | neslect of official duty, for willful and un- | 1awful valuing and assessment of property | |and entry thereof on the assessment rolis | of the city at disproportionate values, and | for knowingly and willfully consenting to | and conniving at evasions of the law with | reterence o valuing and assessment of | property, whereby property required to be listed for taxation was unlawfully and wrongfully valued and assessed and en- | tered upon the assessment rolls thereof at disproportionate values.” Document is Volumino Twenty-five sheets of typewritten legal- p are used in setting forth the charges | and the epecifications in support thereof. The prayer of the petitioners is that Fitz- gerald be required to make a showing within ten days as to why he should not be removed from office and that he be im- mediately suspended from the duties of the office. Fitzgerald is now sitting as an ex- officio member of the board of review, the only body which can give South Omaha relief from the effects of the remarkable assessment he returned. Unless he is sus- pended it is bardly likely that his figures | | will be greatly modified and the result will be that the Magic City will have to go through until next year with an unjus: assessment and a terribly high tax levy This is why the mayor and councilmen are nxious to have the court act without delay. Nine specifications are set out in the complaint. £ix of these are framed to cover the cases of the Unfon Stock Yards company, the Cudaby Packing company, Armour & Co., Swift and Company, the | Hammond Packing company and the Omaha Packing company in the order named. The seventh sets out the location and descrip- tion of a number of lots which have been entered at figures said to be far below the correct valuation. The eighth specifies the matter of personal property and the ninth in general terms repeats the allegations of the preceding eight. South Omaha News specif impeaching oner of | prepared and will | At & meeting of the city councll to be beld on the first Monday in July the annual levy will be made. This year, under the new charter, the funds levied will be ap- portioned in dollars instead of mills. Ac- cording to estimates it will take $12 to run the city government for the fiscal year ending August 1902. The funds de- rived from the tax levy will be apportioned about as follows: general, $35,000; fire, $13,000; police, $18,000; public light, $13,- 000; water, $13,000; library, $5,000; street repairs, $2,500; park, $2,600; interest $22,500. One of the features of the new charter, which will be in vogue after the July meet- ing, will be the issuing of certificates of in- debtedness instead of warrants. Section 142 of the charter says that the mayor and council may by ordinance issue from time to time certificates of indebted- ness in anticipation of the collection of taxes. Such certificates may be renewed it necessary. The money recefved from the sale of such certificates is to be placed to the credit of the fund upon which they are drawn. Only certificates to the amount of 50 per cent of the tax levied shall be issued in any one year. These certificates may have interest coupons attached if de- sired, but the interest shall mot be more than 6 per cent per annum. Before cer- tificates can be sold they must be ad- vertised. The amount of the first lssue will be for the estimated expense of the first two months of the fiscal year. While the law permits an issue at 6 per cent, Councilman Johnston is of the opinion that the certificates can be sold for 4 per cent. That Fire Hall, othing is being done at the present time by the administration to secure horses for fire wagon No. 3. Several attempts have been made to purchase suitable horses, but the price has been considered too high. As it is now a hose wagon, which cost the city $467 and 800 feet of hose, which cost $580, along with barness and hangings cost- ing $160, are lying idle in a house the city bullt for $1,200. All this is on account of the inability of the council to secure horses and cther equipments for the fire hall. The fire and water committee has been em- powered to lease a team until such time 43 the city levy is available, but this hs not been donme because a sultable pair of horses has not been secured.
