The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-12-29

The investigation commenced yeSter-
day by the county commissioners is for
the purpose of endeavoring to become
possessed of sufficient information to
warrant another appeal to the courts,
to the end that Salt Lake county will
secure another 100000 or more in roll
ing stock values for taxation, prin-
cipally in this city, for the benefit of
the state, city, school and county funds.
A peculiar feature of the contention
is that the years taxes on the first ap-
portionment have been assessed and
collected. If Salt Lake county obtains
the right to impose more taxes on the
equipment of the railroads, the bulk Of
the money, after the sums are ascer-
tanned, will have to come from the
counties which have received more
than their share of the taxes, but in
some instances the railroads Will,
where tax rates are higher, be called
on for little more taxes, please.
Hon. P. L. Williams, attorney for the
Oregon Short Line, objected to the
county boards inquiry yesterday,
claiming that it belonged, if at all, to
the jurisdiction of the state equaEza-
ton board. The objection was over
ruled by the commissioners, on the ad-
vice of the county attorney.
In response to a subpoena, J. f.
Dunn, the Oregon Short Lines super
intendent of motive power and Car
Accountant George L. Hickey, an
swered a series of questions PROFOUND
ed by Deputy County Attorney Putnam
and the commissioners. However,, Com
missioner Hall asked the greatest num-
Der of questions touching the subject
about which the board wished to be
more fully advised.
The only matter of Importance
brought out in the answers was that
the Oregon Short Lines rolling stock
remains in Davis county an average of
three hours, while in Salt Lake county
the average in proportion is seventy
two hours, whereas, Davis county is al
lotted nearly twice the taxing value on
the locomotives and cars.
Car Accountant ]. C. Boscha of the
Rio Grande Western was Intercepted
on similar lines respecting a basis of
apportioning equipment values in Utah
county as against Salt Lake. From his
testimony it appeared that the state
board had made the mileage basis on a
main line only, and, moreover, no ac-
count had been taken of locomotives
and cars lying dead in the Salt Lake
yards.
The inquiry will be resumed this
morning, when the Rio Grande West
erns superintendent of motive power
will be called to the witness chair

THE MAYOR IS THINKING.
Probability Of G. P. Pratt's Appoint
ment, With a Proviso.

Probability Of G. P. Pratt's Appoint
ment, With a Previso.
Until the next city council meeting
it will not be positively known whether
Mayor Clark will appoint S. F. Emery
a substitute for Desk Sergeant David
S. Emery, during his sickness, as rec
commended by the council. 1t is be-
lieved that the mayor viii regard the
wishes of Chief Pratt in this matter.
but since the chief has a brother of his
own, whom he wishes to install as desk
sergeant the probability is suggested
that his honor will make the appoint
ment of 0. p. Pratt for substitute desk
sergeant provided that the latter will
agree TO divide salary with the sick
sergeant, as Mr.. Emery's brother pro-
posed to do. In order to make clear
sailing for the plan through the coun-
Gil, those who pretend to know the sit
uation declare that the proviso must
accompany the appointment, or there
will be more trouble and discord ahead,
and double salaries to pay.
The mayor yesterday received Off
cial notice of the councils action in
this respect, but he is not expected to
respond until the council meets again.
However the mayor did yesterday ap-
prove the telephone license tax ordi-
nance and the appropriation as passed
by the council Tuesday evening.

County Commissioners Of Salt Lake
Dissatisfied.
DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED
REAPPoRTIoNMENT OF ROLL
ING STOCK VALUES UNFAIR.
On the Assumption That the State
Board of Equalization Has Not
Complied With the Supreme
Courts Mandate, the County
Board Commences Investigation.

Ever since the state board of equaH-
cation, on the 10th inst, reapportioned
the taxing value of motive power, pas
senger coaches and freight cars, to the
several counties, as directed by a re-
cent decision of the supreme court, the
board of county commissioners of Salt
Lake county has felt dissatisfied, and
sought to obtain a reimbursement of the
values, the board contending that the
state equalizers had not yielded sub
stantial compliance to the courts de-
cision. Yesterday the county board
commenced an investigation, in the
hope of demonstrating, from evidence
given by officials of the railroad COM
panies, that Salt Lake county was still
being Disseminated against; that the
state board had not, even under the
reapportionment, given this county its
share of the value of the three classes
Of property stated to be subjected to
taxation.
Under the first apportionment and
which the supreme court held to be
void, the valuations on railroad equip
ment were apportioned to the several
counties on a basis of track mileage.
Following the courts decision, the state
board made the reapportiOnment on a
basis of car mileage and the length Of
time the rolling stock remained in the
respective counties.
The following table will demonstrate
to what extent the state board permit
ted Salt Lake county to profit by the
decision ordering a reappOrtionment:

SERGEANT HILL SAYS MEN
WE'RE oVER-FEO.
Army Commissions Efforts to Dis
prove General Miles Statements
Packing Company to Be Heard.

Washington, Dec 2S.-William w.
Hill, assistant secretary of the war in
vestigation commission, and who
served in company L, District of Co.
lunbia volunteers as first sergeant and
acting quartermaster, was the only
witness before the commission today.
Colonel DENLY, who presided, ques-
toned the witness regarding the moot
ed question of the canned beef fur
nished the volunteers. Hill discounted
the complaints made by the men. He
said they came from those who would
complain against anything. He said
the health Of his command was excel
lent at Tampa, and he credited it
largely to free use of lemonade. The
canned beef issued the men, he said,
was dry and lacked nutrition, though
later it was considerably improved. He
believed the canned beef, which he ex-
planned was canned just after being
boiled, was perfectly fit to eat"
though once in awhile he would receive
a can that was spoiled and smeled bad
ly. He knew a large lot of spoiled
canned beef had been found at Tampa
before his company sailed for Cuba.
The men seemed to like the canned
beef, he said, but later became sur
feited. with it, The refrigerated fresh

ical treatment, and had natural APP
pearance The trouble with the re-
frigerated beef, he thought, was that
the men overfed themselves and ate
it half-cooked.
The investigating commission has
notified the Swift Beef company Of
Chicago, which had large contracts for
furnishing beef to the army during the
war, that it will be glad to give a
hearing to any representative they
may send, on Jan. next. This grows
out of the testimony of General Miles
regarding the refrigerated and canned
beef furnished his expedition. and the
Geographic protest his statements
called out from the company.
1t is very probable that the commits
sion will recall Commissioner General
Egan and General Shafter, and pos
sibly General Miles.

Mccormick & Co.'S bank secured the
business of the transfer of the Con-
solidated Implement company, exclu-
sively reported in yesterdays Herald.
Nearly $lS5,OOO in stock passed through
the bank into other hands, the new
owners being, as related, George A.
Snow and a. a. Cooper Of Dubuque, Ia.
A complete change will take place
in the next few days. Mr.. Snow viii
be elected president; Mr.. Cooper, vice
president, while " f. r. Snow will
continue to act as secretary and treas
urer. The general management of the
concern will be in the hands Of Mr..
George A. Snow, who, it is said, is be-
ing backed by Cyrus Mccormick, the
big reaper manufacturer of Chicago.
Mr.. Cooper is the son of A. A.
Cooper, the manufacturer of the Cooper
wagons at Dubuque, and is bright
and energetic young business man. The
other stockholders are o. w. Johnson,

changes in the staff of employees, which
is as near perfect as he can wish.

1t is yet undecided as to what the Rio
Grande Western and the Denver & Rio
Grande will do in the matter Of chang
ing its time to conform with the change
on the Oregon Short Line, which goes
into effect on Jan. 4. 1t is said that
General Manager Dodge Of the West
ern has notified General Manager Ban
croft that the Western win not attempt
to make the schedule as announced to
so into effect and unless the Short Line
changes its time to leave an hour later
no connection viii be made. Under the
new schedule it win be necessary for
the roads between here and Denver to
shorten the time so as to bring the noon
train in here by o'clock Negotiations
are going on, but it is doubtful if the
change will be made unless the Short
Line people cOncede the point asked for
by the Western people.
II is thought the Southern Pacific
viii have to make better time from Og
den to the coast. The new Short Line
and Union Pacific schedule VIII bring
the mails into Portland three hours
earlier than to San Francisco and it is
expected the people of the California
metropolis viii have protest on this
score, which may result in the Southern
Pacific altering its time.
