the several banks in the city of Lincoln. fol

April 1885. and that each of said banks be
from July l2. 1895, at i2 o'clock noon,
schedule OF such real estate to be deduoec
hereunder.
Four banks have submitted returns. The
Merchants bank reports Its capital stock a.
$4,000, one-sxth OF which is 1888. IT.
real estate is assessed at s4,490. Deductinl
this from the one-sixth valuation OF tht
capital stock and there is left $3.50 Tht
German National fares still better. 1t re
ports its capital stock at 100000, OF whicl
S25. 900 is in government bonds. One-sxtl
Of the remainder would be $l2 500. The banl
has real estate listed for taxes at $40, ,596, 81

The American Exchange National bank re
ported capital stock $250,000. II holds $50,
900 government bonds, which is deducted
from the above. leaving 5000, 900 one-slxti
OF this amount is S3S, 1888. The bank has rea
estate already valued for taxation at 81. 200
which, deducted from the $S3,3S3, leave
S2l, 1873 to be taxed
The Columbia National bank reports capt
tai stock OF 5000, 900. OF which s5OOOO is it
government bonds. One-sixth OF the balanc
would leave s25 000 and It has real estat
valued for taxation at 1880 leaving S17,74
for taxation as capital stock.
The complaint urged against this rul
adopted by the council is that the real estat
should be deducted before the division Of one
sixth Is made.
