LIMITS AUTOMOBILE SPEED
COunciImen Decide on Four Miles
for Parks and Eight for
BOuIevards.

In general committee yesterday the city
council after some discussion agreed that
Omaha is too thoroughly a metropolitan
city to exclude automobiles from it's parks,
boulevards or streets, but that public safety
and the rights Of those who drive
horses demand that the speed Of automo-
biles running within the city limits should
be regulated. The members present were
Councilmen Zimman, Burnley, Trostler,
Lobeck, Mount, Whltehorn and Hascall and
by a unanimous vote they decided upon an
ordinance to regulate the speed Of automo-
biles in the parks to not exceed four miles
an hour and on the boulevards to not ex-
coed eight miles per hour, as a substitute
for the ordinance to exclude them from the
parks and boulevards altogether.
The list Of field assessors whose appoint
ment was reported by the tax commissioner
to the council at it's last meeting was APP
proved. The appointees are twenty in
number.
The matter Of the proposed alley or street
from Harvey to Farnam street between
Thirty-third and Thirty sixth streets was
laid over to the next meeting OF the com
mittee. On petition OF some Of the property
owners an alley OF twenty feet was or
dered and at the last meeting of the coun-
Gil a petition signed by seventy-fve prop
erty owners was presented, in which It was
urged that a hfty-foot street be opened in
stead Of the alley. There was some doubt
expressed as to whether the council had
authority to open a street at that place in
the manner proposed and the postponement
vas for the purpose OF having that point
settled.
The City Board OF Equalization will meet
this morning at 10 o'clock.

FORMER MERCHANT IN JAIL
James s. ROmfne Brought Back to
Nebraska to Explain
to Creditors.

James S. Romine, formerly a prominent
Nebraska business man, with establishments
at Bridgeport and Mitchell. who disappeared
some weeks ago about $40, 900 in debt to
many wholesale houses, is in the county
Jail here and will be taken to Mitchell.
Romine was arrested In Worcester, Mass,
and was brought here by the sheriff Of
SCOTS Blur county. He came without
requisition papers. He is charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Among Romines creditors are several
Omaha firms. These and the amounts
they are alleged to be out are: NJ. e.
Smith q Co, sI.ooo; MaTtiH-Cott Hat com
pany, 5000; Nebraska Moline Pillow COM
pany. $1,000; Beebe & Runyan, $1,000; King
man Implement COMPANY. $500. Several
business men in Lincoln, Chadron and ALI
ance are also reported to have been de-
frauded out of various sums. One, a Mr..
Norton OF Alliance, is reported to have sold
Romine his entire stock and building for
$4,000. The stock was valued at SO, 700 and
no payment was made on this sale. A
Milwaukee piano firm is said to be out
$4,000 for pianos which Romine had pur-
chased.
Some weeks ago Romine sold his general
merchandise stock at Mitchell to a sister
and the one at Bridgeport to a nephew
named Blackburn. When the Wholesale
firms learned OF the sales they called for a
settlement and learned that Romine had
left the country. The chase for him con-
tinued from state to state until he was
finally corralled In Worcester, Mass.
Romine was considered by the wholesale
houses as one Of the safest merchants in
business In Nebraska. He started his stores
on a small scale, and gradually, as he OBJ
H.
houses, increased his stocks, until their
total value was up in the thousands. He
had good credit with every firm with which
he did business and was highly respected
and trusted by the citizens Of the COM
munity in which he resided. He was for
merly a resident of Chadron, Neb.. and is
said to have secured about $40, 900 from old
friends there before leaving the state. He
is SO years Of age and is married.

HAVE SOME IDEAS TO OFFER
Omnha's Delegates 60 League OF
American Municipalities VIII
Present Report.

Il is expected that the city council will
receive az It's meeting OF Tuesday evening
a report from the oficial delegation which
represented this city at the recent confer
ence OF the League Of American Municipal
tiles at Grand Rapids. Mich. The members
Of this delegation. which consisted OF Coun-
cilmen Zimman and Hascall and Assistant
City Engineer Craig. have declined to make
public in advance the contents Of the re-
port, but 1t Is understood that f. will con-
tain some important information and
recommendations. One subject upon which
It is understood Councilman Hascall has
something to say is legislation. One Of the
ideas most forcibly presented at the con-
ference was that the cities are too much
hampered by legislation, and that legisla-
tive bodies, being made up predominantly
Of country members. are not so constituted
as to most intelligently pass upon the af-
fairs Of cities.
Mr.. Craig, discussing this question, said:
THE feature OF the convention which struck
me most forcibly was the strong inclina-
tion toward the home rule policy among the
city officers present. II was found that
some OF the states have carried the matter
of legislation to such an extent that their
principal cities are almost hopelessly
muddled. Ohio Is one of those states.
Laws have been passed there applying to
cities Of certain population and prescribing
different conditions for those places than
apply elsewhere in the state, and the stat
ute books are filled with laws that apply
only to certain cities. The supreme court
has now decided those laws to be unconsti-
tutional and the cities which have been
operating under them do not know where
they stand. The same state OF affairs
would apply to this city and state, in a
measure, and the question is one that is
sooner or later to be considered here"
Speaking of Grand Rapids, Mr.. Craig
said: James @. Blaine once said 1t was
the largest city Of its size in the United
States, and l am convinced he was right.
1t is certainly al active place. The
municipal government is entirely in the
hands Of young men, and they are hustlers.
mayor is a very young fellow, but a
man and a live one."

TOO MUCH TAX MACHINERY
st. Paul Assessor Makes Observations on
0mGha's Assessment System.
CONSIDERS IT COMPLICATED AND COSTLY
Tells How city, County, school and
state Taxes Are Assessed and
Collected Together at the
Minnesota Capital.

Hon. P. Conley, city and county assessor
at st. Paul, Mimi, was in the city yesterday
enroute home from a visit to Colorado and
Utah. MIR. Conley was surprised when,
upon investigation, he ascertained that the
assessment and tax collection system In
Omaha and Douglas county required the
services Of four different official depart
ments.
at strikes me- said he, that you have
not only a costly, but a somewhat compli-
Gated system. ST. Paul. in its relation to
Ramsey county, is Just like Omaha in its
relation to Douglas county; that Is, in both
counties the bulk Of the taxable property is
located within the boundary lines Of the
cities. Therefore, 1 believe that our sys-
tenn for assessing and collecting taxes could
easily he applied in Douglas county.
I'VE have Just one Office for the assess
ment Of property for county, city, school
and state taxes, and Just one Office for the
collection Of the taxes. The assessment
Of all property is made by the city and
county assessor, who is appointed by the
mayor, the president of the common coun-
ell and the county auditor, and who APP
points his own assistants and is held
responsible for their work.
City and County Omcers EquaIize.
Inc assessment thus made is equalized
by a board comprising the mayor, the
county auditor, the assessor and two mem
bers each of the city council and Board Of
County Commissioners. Thus, you see. the
city and county each participates in the
appointment of the assessor and in the
equalization Of the assessment. The as
m thus made answers for county,
city. state and school purposes, each cor
porate body fixing its own tax rate.
The taxes are all paid to the county
treasurer, who, in turn. pays the state its
share. the city its share, and the school
board Its share. Therefore only one set
Of tax books is kept, the city treasurer's
of1ce being relieved of the work of collect
ing taxes. In Omaha, 1 understand, all
this work is done both by the county and
by the city, making the maintenance OF tax
departments by both corporations neces-
sary and putting a great deal Of unneces-
sary work in the city treasurer's office. 1
wouldn't care to ~criticise your way OF
doing business, because ! am not sufl-
GENTLY familiar with your local conditions.
but at first glance it appears to me that
you have a lot of unnecessary official ma
chinery and expense"
