HAVE YOU GOT YOUR SHARE A. R. GROH. If some billionaire came along and took a fancy to Greater Omaha and wanted to buy it he would have to pay $237,822,905 if we were willing to sell out at the valuation fixed by the tax assessment for 1917. Of course, we wouldn't :ell the good old town at any price “if we couldn’t get another like it.” And| where could we get another city half as good this side of dear old Paris?‘, Watson Townsend, engineer in the department of public improvements, has prepared some interesting figures on this subject. If Omaha ‘property were divided equally, every man, woman and child in the city would have $1,410 worth. Tax Per Person. If every person paid the same amount of taxes, each man, woman and child would pay $15.93 to city in ear, f the hypothetical billionaire above mentioned hag come along before the annexation of South Omaha and Dun- dee, he would have found the original city of Omaha worth $188,006,200. ‘{he next year after the cénsolida- tion, Greater Omaha was worth $233,- 043,325, . And now the town is valued at the big figure mentioned in the first paragraph. The value of Omaha property per cipita is very high, $1,410. In Pat- erson, N, the value per capita is oaly $812. lf you have ever been in l;at:rson you will not be surprised at this, New York City claims a valuation of $1,715 per capita. No doubt there are lots of people in the Mills hotels and on the East side who “haven’t got theirs.” Boston Rate High. Boston has the highest per capita tax rate in the United States, $33. It also has the largest cxty dcbt of any city near its siz:, $124, Omaha's debt is a lmlc over $23,- 2,000, of which the greater city in- herited $1,118,188 from South Omaha arl $195,000 from Dundee. We have a larger city debt than any other city anywhere neag our size in the country. Out of (1*15.93 per capita annual tax, $5.73 gOes to pay interest on the debt. Only three other cities in the whole country pay larger interest charges, namely, Bir- n.ington, Ala, Spokane and Tacoma, Wash. But let us not be boastful. Includes Water Works. Of course, we have the water works. If we deduct the $7,500,000 paid for the water planl: gur bublic ad. The proportion of city taxes re- gmred to pay: interest charges on ebts in several cities are as follows: Ala, 50 per cent; Ta- coma, Wash. pokane, Wash., 38; Omaha, 36; New York City, 33. From this they run down to such E)y-u-you- 0. cities as these: St. uis, 6 8 cent; Milwaukee, 6; De- hlcalo,s Indl\napohs, 3 You see, while we're bully ‘little boosters for Omaha, we poirt out its faults (when we can find any) just as we laud its virtues (which we are always finding.)
