AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Local Politicians Are Already Discussing ‘ Election of Next Spring, SRODERICK AND QUEENAN MAY HOLD QVER Present Indications Are that Elee- tion Will Be Called for Only Tax Commisstoner and School Board Members. Loeal politiclans are already talking mbout the spring election. Under condi- tions at the present time it looks as it the election would be called for only one tax commiseloner and three members of the Board of Education. The members of the board who retire are Lott, Miller and Bohroeder, all republicans. Already the republicans of South Omaha are casting about for representative men who can be placed on the ticket with some show of being elected. It is understood that every effort will be made by the republicans to plect members to flll the vacancies. As for tax commissioner, the republicans have two or three first-class men In view. James Fitzgerald, the present tax commissioner, ta a democrat and he s seeking a remom- Ination. The most Interest, however, centers In the question of whether two councilmen, one from the Fifth and the other from t| Bixth wards, are to be elected. In the proclamation 1{ssued by Mayor Kelly, under the new charter, he merely called for the election of six councilmen, one from each ward. No term of service was mentioned in the proclamation. Now some contend that as the Fifth and Sixth wards were new things here, the under- standing was that the members from these wards were to serve only for ome year. Both Broderick and Queenan dlspute this They assert that they were elected od an equal footing with the balance of the mem- bers, and as they are both anxious about the matter an appeal was taken a few days ago to & leading Omaba attorney. Tha opinion of this attorney was that Broderick and Queenan could serve the full term of two years. In support of the opinion section 18 of the mew charter is quoted. A portion of this section says: ‘‘Whenever, by r of an increase of wards in such city, any ward shall be without representation, it shall be lawful and proper at the mnext succeeding clection to elect one councilman from each of sald wards for a term of two years." Those who favor the election of council- men from the Fifth and Sixth wards In rt that the charter may be to give more definite In- formation on the subjéct. In the meantime Broderick and Queenan rest easily, ap- parently, on account of the opinion given them by their attorney. So far Mayor Koutsky has not indlcated whether he will call for an election of two councilmen in the epring or not. Will Lower Tracks. When the Q street viaduct s repaired this winter the street car tracks crossing the structure will be lowered so as to be on a level with the flooring of the bridge. News was recelved yesterday that some of the timber for the repairs was now enroute. Officlals of the Unlon Stock Yards company assert that the mills in Oregon are way behind on orders, but advices have been received to the effect that several cars of the material to be used are now In speaking of the proposed repairs a day or two ago General Manager Smith of the Omaha Street Rallway com- pany stated that when the track actoss the bridge was relaid the rails would be low- ered, so as to conform to the surface of the flooring. If this s done it will do away with & great many complaints and lessen the danger of accidents. In the meantime motor tralns will run slowly over the viaduet. * Thompsom Will Bulld. Frank Thompson, one of the well known business men of South Omaha, has pur- chased the property at the southwest cor- ner of Twenty-fourth and H streets. On the corner lot he will erect a two-story store building. The ground floor of this building will be used by a drug firm, while the upper floor will be arranged for living apartment: On the lots adjoining the store building Mr. Thompson will erect a residence to cost him not less than $3,000. Aside from the cost of the property the improvements arranged for will cost about $6,000: Work on construction is to commence at once and continue as/ long as the weather holds good. Investigating Tax Titles, For several days past an eastern trust company bas hid an agent in South Omaha looking over the records In the treasurer’s office with a view to buying up property on which taxes have become delinquent.

At the house they found the two in company with Mrs. James Bru- ton, Mrs. Adams, Dick Uttley and G. Page, who live in the house, playing cards. Mrs. Higgins says that they knocked on the door and Knudsen opened it. When he saw who was there he drew a revolver and fired five shots at them, none taking effect. They ran away and notified the police. Knudsen says that he did not fire any shots. He says that the two slammed the door open, striking his head. However, when the officer arrived he found the room full of smoke and after some search found the revolver between the mattress of the bed with five eéxploded cartridges in it ST.

CORPORATIONS ARE WAITING They Want to S8ee Assessments Against Big Mercantile Establishments, MAY COMPLAIN TO BOARD OF REVIEW It Assessments of Mercantile and Pub. He Service Concerns Are Equita- ble the Latter Will Not Ask for Revi Although the Board of Review has been in session now nearly two weeks only one complaint so far has been filed asking for a reduction of the assessments placed by the tax commissioner upon the local fran- chised corporations. This complaint wa filed by the representative of the Nebraska Telephone company, alleging that the as- sessment of $500,000 on the personal prop- erty of the corporation Is excessive and should be reduced to $378,000, as returned by the company’s officers. Speaking of the attitude of the other corporations, ome of the men identified with the management of one of them sald: “We have not decided yet exactly what we will do, but we will not follow the example of the telephone company for the present. We do not want to escape paying taxes that justly belong to us and are willlng to have our properties listed at their tull value, providing all other prop- erty is taxed on the same basis. We are, therefore, waiting to see what is to be done with the wholesala and mercan- tile establishments. “It certainly would not be fair, for ex- ample, to ass>ss the street rallway com- pany for more than $5,000,000 and let & big wholesale dry goods establishment that is capitalized for $500,000 and carries stock that inventories at considerable more than that oft with a ssment of I than $200,000. If the tax commilisioner and Board of Review show a disposition to get somewhere near equity s between stand without attempting to change them, but If the others are to be taxed only a 11 fraction of thelr property we will k to be'reduced to the same ba: The rallroads so far have given no in- timation of what course they propose to pursue with reference to the assessment of the raflroad property in disregard of the assessments returned by the State Board of Equalization. A man close to the execu- tive office of the principal road, in response to an inquiry, seid that the question had not yet been discussed, but was presum- ably still in the hdnds of the law depart- ment. COLORED SOLDIER RETIRES Record and Good- Bank Rell to Go On, [ Brilllant Sized Louis M. Smith, late first sergeant of Company M, Tenth cavalry, arrived in Omaha yesterday from Fort Robinson, on his way to Washington, where he will reside, having retired from the army after a service of twenty-elght years, Sergeant Smith is one of the colored who have fought mobly on many flelds and under many ski He entered the army when the colored regiments, in time of peace, were somewbat experimental and has done much, according to army offi- cers, to make the experiment a succe: he has saved his money, and upon re- tirement drew from the government treas- ury more than $1,000 of accumulated sav- ings. He wlll recelve pay of §85 per month from the government during his life, which includes three-quarters pay and clothing allowance. The sergeant is but one of many sol- diers who, in the past years, have taken advantage of the opportunity of- fered by the government for saving their pay. The government permits enlisted men to deposit funds with post command- ers, who remit to the treasury, and upon this money a falr interest is pald. The only objection that soldiers have to the plan is that they sre compelled to with- draw thelr money as soon as they leave the service, &nd some suggest that the funds should be per- mitted to remain as long as the de- pbsitor desires, as the interest pald is not much larger than that paid on bonds, and makes a safe investment for a class of men who are not well versed in business methods.
