Value of the Termin These net earnings capitalized on a § Der cent. basis, it 18 stated, would show the fair cash value of the terminal prop- erty to be 35,000,000, But the complaint #tates that “‘by reason of the location of sald system and the prospects of the city of Omaha and the state of Nebraska and the command said terminal system gives over the frelght business of sald eity, the wvalue of sald terminal system Is much Jarger than fts present net earning value that on April 24, 18%, the said Union Pa- wific Rallway company, predecessor of the Union Pacific Railroad company, in a liti- gation with the state of Nebraska pro- duced Virgil G. Bogue as an expert witness upon theé value of the properties of sald railroad company. Then is quoted at some length the testimony of Mr, -Bogue, In which he placed an estimate 6f $10,000,000 on the terminal property, but said he did not belfevp it could be bought it vacant for less (han $15,000,000 and that if it was oc- cupled By private parties he did not bellgye it could be purchased.” The complainant submits that the pres- ent value of the terminal system is greater than it was o 1804 and that it 1s now worth $15,000,000. This terminal system, it 18 stated, was .wholly omftted from the 1903 assessmept, and the board is thero- fore asked to place it upon the mssessment rolls at $15,000,000, [ Shops and Shop Grounds. In its alxth complaint the document takes in the machine and repair shops of the com- pany and the land upon which they are lo- cated. The grounds are estimated to be worth $§00,000; the imprcvements $1,000,000, and the machinery and’ supplies $1,000,000. The complaint states that a great deal of this property has been omitted from the assessment and the board 1s asked to in- crease the valuation upon this portion of the company's holdings from $363,200 to $2,- 500,000 And finally in a closing paragraph of pe- tition the complainant “prays that the sald Union Pacific Raflroad company be assessed 4n its said And several properties in the city of Omaha hereinbefore described at the several amounts stated to be their fair cash value, aggregating the sum of $34,445,- 716.62.” Mr. McIntosh remarked to the board when he filed this complaint that he was | working on others relating to the property of the Elkhorn and Burlington roads and expeoted to have them ready in a fow days. The aggregate sum at which Mr. Fleming had placed the assessment of the Union Pagific road 18 $6,964,940. RAISES SOME___ASSESSMENTS HBoard of Review Makes Substantial Changes in Original Rell. Several substantlal changes were made the Board of Review Tuesday morning {n ihe assessment rolls, all of the big altera- tions being in the way of additfons to the | figures as they formerly stood. There were some few reductions, but they were small In every instance. The most important revision was in the assessment of F. P. Wirkendall & Co., which was fncreased trom $100,000 to $120,- 000. Guiou & Ledwich were increased from 060 to §20,000; Helin & Co., from $3,020 ;; ul:.m; ”?;;hrt & McDonald, from , to i J. J.

Mubérman, §10,000 to. $8:500; Joseph Lewls, 13,000 to $1,000. A number of the cases heard in the course 't the morning were continued to allow rurther , information to be presented or ‘aken uUnder. sdviseméat by the board for sther reasons. Mr. Carpenter of the Carpenter Paper company made an earnest argument to the offect that mercantile capital shotild not be Sssessed at more then half its value, while other business Institutions were being as- sessed at full value. M. Leyy“6f the Ne- braska Clothing company appeared and dis- cussed the affairs of his company with the board, but go action was taken on his case. Others who appeared and whose case were not deolded were W. J. Broatch and the Omaba Daily News. An attorney came before the board on bebalf of George Hoag: land, lumber dealer, but the board re- quested that the house be represenfed by some person familiar with its busin affairs. . g The tax committee of the Real Estate ex- change has mot yet filed its papers in the rallroad cases, but is now working upon ——— * OLD FOGY KNEW Experience Tenches People. g “My parents considered coffee simply a Barmless beverage for old and young, so when § merg, baby I commenced to drink it, and whes I reached womanhood, found myselt t with nervousne ache and anirritable temper rellet, 1 more and more coffee, thus adding fuel fo,the fire. “I grew Wotse until life was one black night of pain.

A. Nash appeared before the board to show causé why the assessment of the New Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric company sHould not stand as raised by the tax. commissionsr, from $442,000, as re- | turned by the company, to, $500,000. Mr. | Nash said that egparently ibe hoard had a wrong Impressfon of the value of the company’'s property, and as far as he could see this must be-due to a:false estimate of the new subway as &n addition to the plant. He pointed out to the board the fact that this new underground . system, while not adding to the earning power of the plant in any respest! did oconvert into mere junk a great quahtily of wires and poles and transformers and other mate- rial that formerly had had m Atilitarian value. This condition, he sald, would -na- turally detract from the inventory valua- tion_of the property. of the company. Mr. Nash also stated that not loug ago experts from the east, who eame for the purpose of placing a purchase value upon the prop- erty of the company, had appraised the entire Omaha equipment at $416,000. Mr. Nash was requested in case he decided to open the question to furnish figures as to the ecarnings and expenses of thé Omaha plant, and also the entire property sepa- rately, as he said he was ready to do. It was found In tho discussion between Mr. Nash and the board that $300,000 of the company's bonds hAd been omifted in making the return, and the board held that these should be included, while Mr. Nash argued that they should not. While Mr. Nash suggested a compromise on $475,- 000, this proposition was rejected and he was advised first to inquire into the ques- tion of law. Some Changes Made. In the course of the Afternoon the assess- ment of the Chicago Luniber company was increased from $68,000 to $§6,245 and that of the Sol Bergman Jewelry company re- duced from $10,000 to $6,000; and numer- ous minor changes made. Among the firms to appear before the board was J. L. Brandels & Sons, but no disposition was made of that case. Mr. Emil Brandels spent some time in discus slon with the board as to the value of his firm's bullding and the lease of the grougd upon which it stands and also the value of the stock, but the board reserved its dectsion.

Lumber ’ WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—After debating the London dock charges bill for almost rejecting the enacting clause. The debate was spirited on both sides and all day members were flooded with telegrams re- specting the bill. The withdrawal of the support of the lumber and meat packing interests, which originally jolned with the millers in press- ing the measure, brought about its defeat The final vote was 138 to 129 In favor of the motion to strike out the emacting clause. Speeches were made in favor of the bill by Mr. Tawney (Minn.) and Mr. Richardson (Ala), and against it by Messrs. Adameon (Ga), Wagner, Adams and Dalzell '(Pa.), Burleson and Bur (Tex.) and Mann (1IL). Will Adjourn for Ch Some minor business was transacted at the opening of the session.

Mr. Tawney (Minn.) then demanded the regular order, the London landing charge bill, of which he had charge. He gave notice that he would move to substitute the sen- ate bill for the pending house bill, the two being practically identical. Mr. Tawney then began his argument in support of the bill. He read a petition from the big packing houses favoring the bill and Mr. Mann (11l.) sald he had tele- grams ' from all those houses withdrawing their support.

I propose to disclo those motives before I comn- clude.” Proceeding, - Mr. Tawney explained the purpose of the bill, which, he said, ap- plied only to the port of London and was simply designed to relieve the American shipper of the charge made by the trans- porting companies for delivering goods over-the side of the vessel.
