W W ADDING TO THE GRAND TOTAL Bdard of Beview Inoreases the Omaha Assessment Roll. BUSY NOW WITH THE JOBBING FIRMS Property Overlooked by Assessor Added to List and Several Assess- y Addea to After & Hearing. ments Are Mate A number of representatives of business firms appeared befora the Board of Review yesterday on citation to give informa- tion regarding the personal property of those firms and the onfire sesslon was thus occupled. Among others to appear was A B. Jaquith, vice president of the Omaha Ele- vator company, who discussed at some length the method of taxation employed in this city. He was unable to furnish at this time, however, the Information desired by the hoard as to the assessment upon the property of his company located outside of the city of Omaha, and no action was taken upon his case. In {he adjustment of the assessment of the Willlam Bushman warehouse, Ninth and Leavenworth sfreets, it was found that the Union Selling company, one of the occu- pants ot the warchousie, had been over- looked and an assessment of $2,500 was en- tered agalnst that company. William Bush- man's assessment was fixed at $600. Another. company found to have been overlooked was the Milwaukee division of the Intefnational Harvester company, of which 'J. . Kroh is the local agent. Its nssessmgnt was fixed st $4,000. Tnereanes In Assessments. The following increases were made by the board in the personal assessments of firms: Reichenberg-§mith company, from $17,600 10 $20,000; People's Furniture and Carpet company, from $33,230 to $35,000; Porter- Ryerson & Hoobler company, from $6,676 to $15,000; Barber Asphait company, from $10,- § 0. $20,260... “ r \ The persondl property assessment of Mc- Whorter, Hollinger & Sunderland was re- diiced from $10,500 to $5,000; that of the ¥loyd J. Campbell company from $10,500 to '$5,000; that of Harry Miller, grain broker, from, $5,000 to $1,000, and that of the Omaha Electrical works from $3,000 to $2,000. After hearing representatives of those ‘firms the board determined to allow the tax commissioner's figures to remain for the personal property assessments of the Mar- tin Cott Hat company at $16,000 and Capel & Johnson at $1,500. In each instance these were the figures returned by the firms themselves. The asscssment of the Omaha Casket company increased from $19,085 to $35,- 000, and that of Orchard & Wilhelm -was allowed to remain at $59,410, as returned by the firms. M, B Smith Company's Plea. in the aftexpoon the M. E. Smith company clted to appear at that time to show cause why its, assessment should not be raised from $200,000 to $375,000, was represented by an attorney who brought a letter from the firm.'

The attorney was unable to give the information desired by the board as to the affairs of the firm and the board de- cided to allow the assessment to stand at the increased figure until this information has been submitted. The board issued a citation to the,Pacific Express company to appear Thursday morn- ing and show cause why Its assessment should not be raised from $15,500 to $5,685,- 637. This company made a return of capital stock which it represented to be worth $480,000 and showing exemptions in the form of property taxable elsewhere of $464,473, listing the remainder to be taxed in this exchange brought to the attention of the board the fact that large dividends were carned on all of the company's. stock issued for $6,000,000 and the board proceeded on the theory that the stock is worth par and to be taxed here less the ‘deductions pre- sented by the company.

COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE MATTERS Breeders and Others Will Be Given an Opportanity for Expressing Op fons Before Any Definite Action Is Taken. Live stock men, not only in South Omaha, but all over Nebraska, are interested in the proposed show of fancy cattle to be held here next year. At the meeting of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange yester- | day afternoon the matter was brought up and it was decided that a committee should be appointed investigate. This com- mittee {s made up as follows: Captain D. 8. Parkhurst, president of the exchange; W. J. C. Kenyon, general manager of the Uanlon Stock Yards company, and J. M Guild, secretary of the Live Stock ex- change. i Captain Parkhurst said last night that the mission of the committee was to see what could be done toward securing a first- class show. The idea of the exchange is to have the committee correspond with breeders connected with the different asso- ¢iations in_the western part of the country and to ask assistance. Communications will also be sent to the Omaha Commercial to | club and the club will be requested to do what it can. No definite plans were made by the exchange, as the discussion and the appointment of the committee came along toward the end of the proceedings. The members of the exchange seem to think that the matter is in good hands and will receive proper attention. A report of the committee will not be made to the exchange until January. It was expected that officers for the en- euing year would be nominated by the ex- change yesterday, but this matter was laid over until the latter part of the week. A resolution for the licensing of trav- eling solicitors was turned down. In liew of this a substitute was offered recoms mending that all solicltors be members of the exchange. This amendment will be considered at the January meeting of the exchange. There was some talk about rail- road rates, etc, but the matter was re- ferred to & committee. City Council Meets. Mayor Koutsky had his way last night when he sent in & veto to the council in relation to the payment of $50 to Clark Howard for services alleged to have been as city stock inspector. In his veto the mayor held that the finance com- mittee had no right to place the name of Howard on the appropriation sheet, as the office had been declared vacant. When a vote was called on the veto, three of the four members present voted against the mayor. Mike Smith stood by the adminis- tration. The mayor declared that as a majority of the members elected had not voted agalnst his veto, it stood. Then there was some discussion and the city charter was browght out and the three opposing members pored over its contents for some time. The mayor finally ealled the counefl to order and other business was proceeded with. As it Is now, the veto of the mayor stands. One of the members of the council sald after the meeting that it would only be for a month, as next month a majority of the council would vote in favor of giving Howard his salary and retaining him in his position, Two special improvement ordinances, Nos. 157 and 138, were read for the first time and referred to the judiclary com- mittee. Some money was ordered pald to the steward at the Emergency hospital, and then the council adjourned. The next meoting will be held on December 15. Watkine Gets Back. Colonel J. B. Watkins and W. S. King re- turned yesterday from down the river, where theey started aboard Castalla. The colonel says that the sailing was bad and that most of the time the crew was engaged in shoving the bodt off sand bars on account of low water. About twelve miles this side of St. Joe the boat landed on a bar and was frozen up so that it was decided to abandon the trip to St. Louls. Watkins, King and Talbot walked to St. Joseph, where they thawed out and then returned home by train. The boat will be left where it s in charge of a keeper until spring. Suit for Possession.
