We cannot maiptain that the assessments on some of the larger houses are correct, but on those whose assessments run from $1,000 to $65,000 the assessment is in my opin- ion 80 nearly correct as to give little cause for complaint. “This condition sets at naught the con- tention of the managers of the public serv- fce corporations that all personal prop- erty in the city s escaping its just pro- portion of taxation and places the man who owns a comparatively small business in line with the owners of real estate to bave & just assessment made upon the larger holders.” It s the intention of the committee as s00n as the list of taxpayers is complete to make & comparison between the assess- ment for county and city purposes and to endeavor to have all property equalized on & basis of one-sixth for county purposes.

DEEDS FOR PROPERTY NOT ALL ON FILE City Attorney Connell's Gift Does Not Appear of Record, Although Tax Exemption Has Become Effective. Because of certain alleged irregularities in the plan of assessment for Central boulevard the city council, sitting as a Board of Equalization, has deferred action on it until its mext session as a board, which will be in September. This will de- lay work on the boulevard for at least three months. “The trouble is,” said a member of the council yesterday, “City Attorney Con- pell has neglected to deed to the city property in the right-of-way belonging to him, though he promised to do so, and the plat shows that it has been done. It was also discovered that all of Connell's prop- erty abutting on the boulevard, or in its immediate vicinity, is exempt from taxa- tion. These exemptions were agreed to as | compensation for property in the right-of- way, but as the plans now stand the city bas neither the property in the right-of- way nor the taxes. “Connell owns nearly all of Grifin's ad- aition, which includes several blocks be- tween Thirty-third and Thirty-sixth and Poppleton avenue and Center street, and the boulevard is mapped through a part of this tract. “It also came to light that, under the present plen, many very valuable pleces of residence property in the Hanscom park district absolutely%scape taxation, where: in other and poorer dietricts lots are as- sessed to the limit.

Councilman Trostler, chairman of the committee on street lighting, not dis- couraged by the reverse he received at the last meeting of the councll, is still work- ing for 100 gas lamps to be added to the number now in use by the city. The reso- lution providing for tbese extra lamps is in his committee and he is arranging to make a favorable report on it at the next council meeting. The lamps cost the city $30 per year each, making the total expemse of the project $3,000. Trostler figures that there will be received in royalties $15000 this year from the gas company and $2,000 trom the electric light company, which, be | thinks, should sufficiently swell the street | lighting fund to warrant the councll in adding the 100 extra gas lampk. City | Comptroller Westberg's figures do not tally | with these exactly. “The gas company .paid $13,000 in royal- ties last year,” sald he, “and I estimate | that it will pay about the same amount this year, though the secretary bas told Mr. Trostler that the company is dolng & larger business this year than last. The electric light company has never pald a royalty before, s0 we have no precedent to £0 by, but from what I can learn I should say that it will pay Dot far from $1,500." According to Trostler's figures there will be $4,000 available for his 100 lamps, and according to Westberg's figures he can count on only $717. Lake Okobofi and Return $3,00 via the Milwaukee Rallway. Leaving the Union depot, Omahs, at §:30 p. m. Saturday, June 21, the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul Rallway will run a spe- cial excursion train of coaches and sleeping cars to Lake Okoboji and return. The train will arrive at Arnolds Park, on Lake Oko- boji at 5:40 & m. Sunday. All day Sunday “Then, there is another point which | threatens the legality of the boulevard | scheme, and that is that under the system | of stipulatione employed by the city attor- | ney the boulevard will cost comsiderably more than $50,000, which is the limit the city may expend for the improvement un- | der the charter. The board of appraisers was careful to keep the expense within the charter limit; its figure was $49,000, or | thereabouts, but many personms, dissatisfied | | with the awards, flled suits to have the | work of the board set aside. To induce such persons to withdraw their suits Con- nell promised them increased awards and the result is that the boulevard has become an expensive luxury.” Mr. Connell said: “It i all bosh. There is absolutely no occasion for deferring ac- ticn on the plans.
