Chief OF Police Insists ON PrOprietOrs
Excluding Their Youthful
Patrons.

The crusade which Chief Donahue re-
Gently inaugurated against the pool and
billiard room proprietors who are permit
ting minors to become visitors at their
places has resulted in the officers taking
into custody several owners who are al
legged to have ignored the warning sent
out by the chief. After making the first
investigation Sergeants Cook and Rent
frow recommended that several arrests be
made, but another chance was given the
proprietors. Some Of them failed to make
the desired change in the conduct of their
business and warrants were issued for
their arrest.
George Palmtag, whose pool room is 10
Gated at 1885 Vinton street, was the first
one arrested on the charge of permitting
minors to visit his place. Palmtag was
%arraigned before Judge Berka yesterday
and fined 500 and costs.
Henry Rubin, whose parlors are at 24OS
Leavenworth street, was also arrested and
~arraigned In the police court yesterday.
His hearing was set for Saturday morning.

PROUD OF oMAHA's TAX RATE
City. Treasurer Hennings Sends In
formation to Newspaper at st.
Paul., Minnesota.

City Treasurer Hennings received a letter
from a st. Paul newspaper the other day
asking for information concerning Omaha's
assessment and tax rate. 1t was stated
that assessments in st. Paul were made on
a 40 per cent valuation and the rate is 81
mills, which is believed to be the largest
of any city Of similar size in the country.
The treasurer replied as follows:
Answering yours of February Is will say
that for the year 1903 Omaha city property
is assessed upon it's fair cash value at the
rate of 6.45 mills and 2.3 mills for school
purposes, or a total of $40 mills. This is,
OF course, considerably less than the st.
Paul tax rate of 81 mills on 40 per cent of
the actual value. 1t Is a well known fact
that taxes are very much lower in Omaha
than in any other city of similar size in the
United States, and we are proud of II.

deeds given by the late John Fitzgerald

which is respectively 20, 81 and % cents for
an hour, according to the length of service.
The minute system is in vogue in many
other Of the principal cities, and is to be
introduced here by superintendent F. A.
Tucker because he says It is fairer to the
men, Under the present system a man
who works eight hours and seven minutes
gets paid for eight hours FIAT, while the one
who works eight hours and eight minutes
is paid for eight hours and fifteen minutes.
A man is paid for the quarter hour II he
works more than half of it. Thus the man
who works seven hours and hfty-three min
utes draws just as much for the days labor
as he who works eight hours and seven min
utes, although his day is fourteen minutes
shorter.
The minute system obviates all this.
Every man will be paid to the minute for
what he does. Mr.. Tucker says 1t will
cause no great increase Of labor in figuring
wages, as the pay day comes but once a
month. anyway. Either method was equally
satisfactory to the company. for 1t evened

NAY VETO LEVY ORDINANCE
Mayor Doesn't Like Idea Of Having City
Funds Run Short
SAYS RAILROAD CASES ARE UNCERTAIN
His Honor f. of the Opinion that the
Present situation IL Chaotic and
careful Action is
Necessary.

The annual levy for city taxes for 1908.
with the unprecedented low rate Of 6.45
mills, may have 20 be made over again.
Mayor Moores is Of the opinion that it Is
too low. is dissatisfied with the manner
in which Il was computed and while he will
not say whether he will veto the ordinance,
II is probable that he will take this action.
He signed the levy ordinance for the school
fund. fixing a rate OF 2.S mills, yesterday
morning. and II was returned to the city
clerk At noon. His honor has fefrained
from attaching his signature to the ordi-
nance for the city taxes. however, and Is
making a thorough investigation OF what
II will mean IL used.
Mayor Moores Is inclined to take the
position that the city cannot afford to have
every fund exhausted when the year is
little more than three-fourths expired, in
order to leave the way open for the possi-
Bile addition Of taxes to be raised on the
railroad assessments, now held up by fed
eral court Injunction. He said;
81 will not sign the ordinances without
mature. deliberation. The finances Of the
city. so far as the present year is con-
cerned, are in a chaotic condition and we
cannot afford to make mistakes. / am
going over each fund, item by item. and II
I find that the levy Of 6.45 mills is too
low to run the various departments, the
chances are / will attach my veto and re-
turn the cum to the council, where
l understand Oouncilmen Lobeek, Hoye,
Trostler and zimman are in favor Of q
larger levy.
Points out the shrinkaRe.
THE method of making the levy, as I
understand 1t, was like this: The rate was
made on the total assessment, but with
the knowledge that the levy will apply or
the ASSESSMENTS minus the two larger rail-
roads, or on $105. IT'S. Ss5, instead Of on $780,
2S3, 735, thereby causing the amoun actu-
ally produced in each fund to be from one
fifth to one-sixth less than it would have
been had not the injunctions been issued.
ut seems to me that It is much more
important to make a levy that will put an
amount in each fund sufficient to carry the
departments through the year, than to
leave each fund depleted so that II the in
creased railroad taxes are authorized by
the courts they may be realized in the
treasury. The fight in the courts is bound
to be a long one and a hard one, and while
/ have serious doubt that the people will
win, in any event the city government has
got to go on as before. That is certain,
and !. is equally certain that money will
be needed. The realization Of the railroad
taxes is uncertain at the best. In trying
TO decide the question. ! lean toward the
opinion that 1t will be better} to provide
suficient funds even though the railway as
sessments are blocked out. IT Is pot this
years taxes that are being fought for, but
the principle and its application in future"
