The action of Quartermaster Rickards was learned by those In authority and consequently Rick- ked to resign on the ground of and lack of discipline in tho care of the government's property. The officials at Washington could hardly belleve the evidence submitted by Mr. Bur- kett and at once ordered an investigation. Mr. Burkett today se:ured the reinstate- ment of Willlam Lewis of Collegoville, ply to questions from Mr. Victor Rosewater, chairman of the Board of Review, sald the company had for years pald § per cent divi- dends on its stock, but he could not say to what surplus that had left. There were numerous other questions that he could not answer at that time, but in the course of the examination he stated that on Septem- ber 30 the company had 4,778 subscribers and the yearly average was 4,286. The average gross rentals for the Omaha office per month he gave as $19,080, which did not include the tolls, amounting to about $3,000 per month, or the long distance tolls. which he did not believe would run over $1 per dayt Tho operating expenses, he sald, averaged $2 per instrument per month. Loecal Operating Expenses. When asked to state the monthly ex- penses of the Omaha office, Mr. Morsman he could give that information. The board then requested him to furnish it a state- ment of the monthly expenses, showing the salaries pald to executive officers and their expens attorneys’' fees, cost of supplies and the proportionate amount of all general cxpenses chargable to the Omalia office. Mr. Rosewater sald that the company had deducted the value of all of its other property, leaving Omaha as the residuary legatee, o to speak, but the board wanted to go the other way around and figure the value of the Omaha proverty sald he had no figures with him from which | At the meeting of the Real Estate ex- change yesterday the tax committee sub- mitted the following report: Your tax committee begs leave to report progress. We find that the assessment of Teal estate for 1%3 city tax s at full cash value, We have not been able to carefully ex- amine the assessments of personal prop- erty for the reason that the personal tax rolis have not been completed. A number of returns examined, however, indicate that a spirit of fairness exists. The motto of the tax committee, ‘‘Equality in taxation,” seems to pervade the community and we believe the way is opening up for a falrer assessment for 1903 than any made in re- cent years. From all we can learn the franchised cor- porations are willing to pay on a full as- sessment. From information at hand we belleve the rallroads have not in past years paid their share of city taxes. r the year 1902 the Unlon Paciiic terminal property, includ- ing main line, terminal tracks, frelght and passenger depots, right-of-way and west half of the Missourl river bridge, all in Omaha, was assessed at 367,650, and the 1902 city tax on it was §2,026.50. This was $50.50 less than city 1%2 tax on First National Bank bullding. The state board assessment for this year remaining about the same as last, and the tax commissioner making the 193 ussess- ment at full value, causes even greater dis- parity, as will be scen from the following comparisons: If state board assessment must be used from the tax on the First Na- tional Bank buliding would be three and one-half times the tax on the Union Pa- cific Omaha terminals, depots and bridge. The 1%8 city tax on the Chamber of Com- merce, where this meeting s held today, would be two and a half times, and the ant to take and it always cures and cures quickly.

But despite theso assertions there 18 a tenacious rumor, which refuses to down, that a general advancement of rates will ensue, and that the western as well as the eastern roads will be in on the deal. Back of the rumor is the claim that the roads vre determined to make the people pay for the increases in wages granted to the employes. The official reports show that the heaviest gains in transportation revenues made dur- ing this period of unprecedented earnings were by the western roads, and it s unoffi- clally reported that as a rule the heaviest increases made in wage schedules were on the eastern roads, so that it would seem from this that some of the roads had taken a position which might be hard to defend. But while the largest percentages of in- crease in gross earnings are those of the western roads, It is a fact that the roads in the east and other sections have made heavy galns. The general volume of traf- fic, passenger as well as freight, has been unusually large, not only for the month of November, but since the first of the year. and officlal records show that as a result of this heavy transportation many roads have suffered serious congestions in freight cars.

WATER COMPANY ASSESSMENT There May Be No Complaint About It Before Board of Re- view. The Omaha Water company probably will not appear before the Board of Review to protest against any assessment which b been or may be reported by that board as to the assessment of the property of the com- pany and the course may be followed by the managers of several other of the pub- lic service corporations. Yesterday morning E. M. Fairfield, gener; manager of the water company, said: “'W probably will make no appearance before the Board of Review, for by the time we | will be able to tell whether we should ob- | fect to the assessment as fixed by the board | the board will have adjourned. We do not iub]oc( o the figures as at present fixed, and | our only objection will be as to the rel | tion they bear to the total assessment. We do not propose to pay any more money in taxes than we pald last year if we can avold it, and we believe that if all property is ssed upon the basis fixed for our property this will not be necessary.
