CITY ‘COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Hasoall Overlooks a Point and Rosewater Ordinance is Passed. FOUR TO THREE CARRIES THE MEASURE Lobeek Oalls Up the Bill as Agreed o in Committee and” ¢t i Senmt to Voters Alons with Through a lapse of vigilance on the part of Councllman Hascall last evening the voters of the city may how have an oppor- tunity at the coming election to choose for themselves betweén the ordinance granting & subway franchise to Andrew Rosewater in accordance with his proposition to the city and that extending the privilege in definitely to any person or corporation that fay We designated by the eity counell. In constancy of attendance upon the meetings #f the councll, no member of that body is more punctilious than Mr. Haseall, and it 19 & rare thing to see his seat vacant. Last ming it was understood among the mem- bers that he had urgent business of a pri- vate nature which attracted him elsewhere, and although he was present for a short time, he quietly departed befors the ad- Sournment. Where Haseall Missed Out. After Mr. Hascall had gone the city clerk called the attention of the council to the Andrew Rosewater ordinance No. 8311, which had been amended by the genéral committee for passage and lald over by the council on motion, when the so-called open door ordinance mow being published ‘was substituted. This ordinance, No. 8311, the clerk explained, had had its firet and wecond readings and, aceording to the rec- ord, still remained in his hands, and he desired instruction as to its further dispo- sition. Mr. Lobeck then moved that this “genu- ine Rosewater ordinance,” as he termed it, be published for passage, and when ques- tioned by other members as to his purpose for so doing, said that it was the ordinance that bean. dgreed by council “in commitfee and embodied his ideas of what was fair and right, and he wanted the yoters to have an opportunity te choose 64 betweon the genuine Rose- water ordinance and the free-for-all, or open door, ordinance. Mr. Mount ae well as Mr. Hascall wi absent and Mr. Lobeck's motion orderin, the publication of the ordinance therefore carrfed, there being only Councllmen Hoye, ‘Whitehorn and President Karr to vote in the negative, Tax List is Ready. In & brief communication Tax Commis- sioner Fleming officially motified the coun- cll ‘that the assessmient of 1903 as revised by the board of review has been completed and Is ready for the consideration of the council as a board of equalization. In his communication he states that the real entate dasessment 1s $72,206,465—a reduction Of §126,580 from the figures of the tax tom- migsioner—and the personal property as- sessment fs §62,717,620, of which $26,007, 283.60 1s property of the railroad companies heretofore mssessed by the state board of equalization at $229,116.40. The total of real and personal property as stated by Mr. Fleming is $126,014,085. N This communication was filed and a reso~ lution was adopted instructiag the clerk to advertise in dus legal form that the counell will sit as a board of equalization January 18, 14, 15, 16 and 17, and that all applica. tions for readjustment of assessments must be flled in writing with the eity clerk not later than Junuary 14. The board will’sit from @ m. to 6 p. m on the days named. Fleming's Final Schedules. Tax Commissioner Fleming’s final sched- ules as they have been certis to the ity council show the total assessment of per- sonal property in this city for 1903, as re- vised by the Board of Review, to be $52,- 717,620, which is a marked increase over the assessment as originally planned by the tax commissioner and submitted to the board, his aggrey figures having been $38,661,675, The' total of the personal assessment of last year was $8,726,814.80, but as the ap- pralsement of that year was made upon a basis of 40 per cent of the fair cash value of the property that represented an actual valuation of $21,817,037. The greater pro- portion of the increase in this year's as- sessment over that of last, and, In fact, nearly half of the aggregate amount of this year's assessment, is in the person- | alty of the rallroads, that portion of their . property fncluded in the appraisement . made by the State Board of Bqualization. The total assessment of rallroad personal i property in this city as fixed by the state © board was $229,116.40, and this the Board of Review has increased to $26,097,283.60. . Consequently, the net increase in ‘hed. 5 ulew by the board this year over the ment of last year, exclusive of the personal property of the rallroad com- panies, is $4,803,209.40. To Consider Charter Changes. Purusant to the suggestion of Mayor Moores,” presented at a recent meeting, President Karr recommended that a meet- ing be called for Friday evening, January 2, #t § o'clock in the councl] chamber, for the purpose of considering desired amendments to the city eharter and that the members- elect of the legislature and the members of the Commereial club and Real Estate change and other interested persons be in- vited to be preseat. - A resolution in ac- ©ordance with this plan was adopted. An ordinance to regulate runners for ho- tels and mercantile houses was given its first and second reading. This ordinance requires a licénse fee of $50 for each run- ner and & bond of §200 in each case. The oity clerk was instructed not to issue any more licenses to runners until this ordi- nance had been disposed of. Notice of a personal Injury clalm on the part of Mary Rrwin was filed. It is set forth in thls nolice that the clalmant was knocked down by a coasting sled on Pop- 'LUMBAGO IF YOU USE ' THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDN ESDAY, DECEMBER on the right hand whs broken. of damages is named.

All the numbers rendered by the ¢lub and quartet blended in perfect har- mony. Especially noteworthy was the ren- dition of the “Indian Song," “Robia Hood.” The tom Band,” in which the college boys in- troduced a novel feature in the form of a “‘kazoo attachment,” made a decided hit and the club was compelled to respond with three encores beforé the mudience became satisfled. Negro melodies formed a portion of the program that were excellently ren- dered and won much applause from ‘the audience. ““The Grasshopper Cantata” was the de- clded hit of the evening. Large sunflowers, the blossoms of which were formed by the faces of the members of the glee club, sang the song in humorous style of the fato which befell a grasshopper which became prey for a turkey gobbler, each blossom forming a portion of the g, the finale being the chant which was sung as a req- ufem and proved a fitting finale for the ex- cellent program. The reading of Miss Nellle Atwood won much favor with the audience and she re- sponded in a most happy manner to the repeated 3 Mr. E. D. Coolidge sang with fine effect and volume the bass solo, “Ho!

NO DEFINITE ACTION IS DECIDED ON Several B Are Proposed, but Senm- tors and Representatives Decline to Commit Themselves on Any Proposition at Present. At the conference between the committees of the Real Estate exchange, the Commer- clal olub and the cltizens with the Douglas county delegatior to the state legislature yesterday the time was principally taken up with the consideration of 4 bill proposed by Henry W. Pennock, who at the instance of the legislative committee of the Real Estate exchange has been devoting some attention to a so-called “‘scavenger law,” one designed to cause the sale of property for taxes by a process which will leave the property clear of tax liens regardless of the amount the land may bring at the sale. The measure proposed by Mr. Pennock, briefly, 18 as follows: The treasurers of the city and county shall file a petition in the district court setting out a list of all of the real estate of the city and county upon: which taxes are delinquent for two years or more. This petition shall glve the numbers or descrip- tion of the land only, and not the n e of the holder of the title. The petition shall be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation for a certain time and upon the date set in the advertisement the judge of the court shall cause to be entered Judgment against the roperty for the taxes ievied where no defense is made and In case of defense time will be fixed for hearing the cause. Upon judgment rendered the sheriff or other county oficer author- ized by law shall proceed to sell the land 1o the highest bidder, and a certificate of purchase shall be 'issued to the pur- chaser. Two years shall be allowed the owner of the property in which to redeem the land, at the end of which time the certificate shall become a deed to the title of the land, which shall be unquestiohed. In the case of contests the usual appeal is to be allowed, but the supreme court shall advance the cause for hearing. The title transferred at such sale shall take pre- cedence of any mortgage or other llen which may be upon the land, and the pro- ceeds of the sale shall be divided between the afate, ccounty and ‘city regular and special taxes in varying proportions, Could Be Made to Hold. In the discussion it was said that such a law could be drawn to meet = constitu- tional provisions ana wnat it would result in adding to the resources of the state a large amount of property which is now use- less for the purpose of taxation, as it is taxed for more than it {s worth and own- ers will not pay current taxes W. T. Nelson said that he had such a measure in contemplation and W. B. Pop- pleton moved that the matter be referred to Mr, Pennock and Mr. Nelson for consid- eration and the preparation of & bill in harmony with the ideas expressed. Mr. Nel- son then said: “I desire to be consulted before the mo- tion s put. The members of the delegae tion have decided to express mo opinfon and to take no part in mensires proposed until they have had an opportunity to hear both sides of the question. I looked the matter up for my own satistaction only. I am too busy to give time to the matter and prefer it to come before me from the cow- mittee, which I will confer with." It was later referred to the real estate committee and Mr. Pennock. Toward 'the close of the session it was suggested by one of the members of the committee that as it is difficult to get thirty persons together it might be well for the committee to appoint a subdommittee and the legislative delegation to int & committes which could be called tfito con- ference over questions which would/not re- quire the atféntion of the entire body. In response to this suggestion W:. B, Ten Eyck sald: “You have no reason to confer ‘with us, what you want todo is to get before the proper commiftee at Lincoln after the house is orgaized. We may be on that committee and we may not. As to co-oper- ating we are not in a position to indicate what bills we will tavor. We all want good laws, certainly, but we have not our minds as to what these laws and we do not wish to pledge ourselves in any manner.' Sald Euclid Martin: “Our thought was that we could confer with the delegation through this committee, both now and after it went to Lincoln. We expect that you will keep us advised as to the introduc- tion of any bjlls which may be introduced affecting Omaha interests. Mr. Ten Eyck responded: ‘“'As to that, of course we will it we see the bills and think about it, but you should make arrange- ments to have sent to you every bill intro- duced in the legislature. This can be done through the bill clerk and you can see what bills are of interest to you. At Lin- coln we will be so busy that many bills are likely to escape our observation. W. A. Saunders has been elected chalrman of our joint delegation and a letter to him will reach us.” Joint Committee's Suggestions. Previous to the consideration of the ‘seavenger law,” W. L. Selby reported upon the conclusions of the joint committee as tollows: ® 1 That the present limit for which taxes can be levied for the various funds should be preserved, with the possible exception of the fire fund, and upon that we would want more information before recommending a chan 2. t there should be no increase in the Uimit upon the bonded indebtedness of the city, 3. That the limitation in the amount for ‘which taxes can be levied and bo&adl issued should be as it now is In a specific amount in dollars, instead of substituting such limit by a percentage of the valuatio; 4. That the city should defray the ex- nse of the premium upon the bond given y the city treasurer. 6. That the law in reurd to paving and aving repairs should be changed to con. w D for .oliecting from ‘the abutting property owns ers the paving repair expense by districts. In the discussion of the last proposition M. A. Hall suggested the idea of having paving done without petition. and allowing time for protests on the part of abutting property owners. The other questions we: passed over practically without dllenulor. although M. A, Hall suggested the idea 8f publishing the expenditures of the city government as a plan for reducing ex- penses. W. F. Johnson, from the North Omaha Im- provement club, asked the delegation to look into the question of the sufficiency of the park and library funds before expressing an opinion on the matter of having no increase in the amount svaflable. Herman Kouatze sald that while some funds might be too small, if & start was made to enlarge any all would be increased. Mr. Hall sald that for himself he did net think larger funds necessary, and the committet promised to prepare for the delegation a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the eity for the last two years as shown by the comptroller. W. F. Johnson sttempted to have con- sidered & resolution calling for a Hmit to the expenditures by the Board of Educa- tien for specific purposes, but before this could be dome the meeting adjourned.

At first it was thought the damage was the ‘work of a young man who was sent to the penitentiary r belng convicted of burglary committed at the Hull company's office.
