Mr.. Connell said that he, too, thought the
action of the railroad companies to be pre-
mature. He did not believe that Judge
Munger would tie the hands of the govern
ment of a large city like Omaha for the
purpose OF determining at this time a ques-
tion which would suffer none by waiting.
He considered that the proper time for the
railroads to take action would be after the
levy had been made.
Then arose the question of whether the
council could legally defer its action be-
yond the first meeting in February and
Mr.. Connell and Mr.. Mcintosh both agreed
that while the law on that point was direc-
tory rather than mandatory and the council
might legally take action at a later meet
ing, all possibility OF Illegally might be
obviated by extending the meeting of to-
morrow evening until after the hearing in
court by taking a recess from time to time.
1t has been pointed out by some of the
councilmen that even il the courts should
hold the railroad assessment to be valid,
the taxes for this year upon that property
would not be available, as the case could
not be finally decided in time for their col
lection. ,

naming $103, 900, 900 OF assessable property,

]. H. Mcintosh, who had dropped in dur
ing the discussion. said he believed the sit
uation to be very simple, except that it
must delay the action of the council until
after the hearing of the application now
pending in the federal court. This order
Of the court under which the council and
tax commissioner are now bound he ex-
planned to be only a temporary restraining
order pending the hearing of an applica-
tion for a temporary injunction, and he did
not believe that there was one chance in a
thousand that Judge Munger would grant
the temporary injunction as asked, or that
the case would be heard on its merits on
February 16.

CITY TAX LEVY IS BLOCKED
Railroad Injunction Gases Hold Back Report
of Tax Commissioner.
COUNCIL PROBABLY WILL TAKE RECESS
Hope f. to Have order of Court Va
Gated or Modified February 10 So
that Council May Pass
Levy Ordinance.

Because OF the injunction proceedings In
stituted by the railroad companies against
a levy Of taxes upon the assessment Of
their property as fixed by the city authori-
ties, the council finds itself confronted by
a most perplexing problem and has decided
to defer final action in making the tax
levy until after February 16, the date set
for hearing in the federal court the In
junction application Of the Burlington road.
AS arranged last week the councilmen
met yesterday morning for a conference as
to the apportionment of funds to the differ
ent city departments and the rate Of
taxation necessary to produce the needed
aggregate amount Promptness was re-
garded as necessary from the fact that the
charter provides the tax levy shall be made
at the first regular meeting of the city
council in February. One of the essential
features of this meeting is the certificate
of the tax commissioner as to the assessed
value of all taxable property in the city,
for It is upon this that all calculations
must be based. When this document was
called for the difficulties OF the situation
became for the first time apparent, for In
the order OF court granted on behalf OF
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road, Mr.. Fleming. as tax commissioner
is for the time being restrained from
making any return to the city council OF
the railroad properties upon the assessment
as fixed by the Board OF Review and the
Board OF Equalization, or any other assess
ment OF those properties than that fixed by
the State Board OF Equalization.

Blocks the Proceedings.

Therefore the tax commissioner was in eff
feet prevented from making any certificate
of the assessment to the council and the
proceedings were manifestly blocked. City
Attorney Connell was called into the con-
ference to elucidate the legal complica-
lions of the situation and explained that
until modified by the court the writ must be
regarded as effective and therefore the tax
commissioner must not certify the assess
ment of the railroad companies to the coun-
ell as il had been fixed by the city officers
and boards. He was of the opinion that
although the city authorities had not in
their action accepted the assessment Of the
railroad properties as fixed by the state
board, the total Of which was S131 900. the
tax commissioner could legally include
those figures in his certificate. He felt that
as S131 600 would represent so small a pro-
portion OF the whole amount OF the assess
ment. the city could best afford to let that
30 altogether.
Then further discussion developed the
fact that under the circumstances-even
though Mr.. Fleming might certify the as
sessment without including the railroads or
leave them out altogether-the council
could find no certain basis for a tax levy
and therefore could make no levy with the
assurance that it would be legal and prac-
ticable. The total assessment, including
the railroads. is something more than 1929,
600, 900, and the portion of that representing
the railroad property S26, 0OO, 900.
