AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
suit to Determine Liability Of Live Stock
Exchange for Taxes
FRIENDLY PROCEEDING is STARTED
Treasurer Howe sends out Distress
Warrants in Eleven Cases and
il Expecting Early Re
turns from court.

peIsohal TAX coHeCtor In the employ OF
City Treasurer Howe, served eleven dis
tress warrants at the Live Stock exchange.
These warrants were served for the pur-
pose Of bringing about friendly suit. The
personal taxes declared delinquent by the
city treasurer are for the years 1903 and
1904 In number of cases those who are
claimed to be delinquent assert that the
property has been overvalued. 1t is un-
derstood that those who were served with
the distress warrants will hold a meeting
and secure an attorney to replevin the
property, supposed to have been taken un-
der the distress warrants
City Treasurer Howe expects that by
Monday he will be served with an order
from the district court preventing him
from selling the property listed in the dis
tress warrants. About $1,000 in taxes is
involved in the eleven cases.
At the city treasurers office 1t is stated
that by taking this procedure the persons
owing personal taxes will be given an
opportunity OF going into court and prov
ing If possible, that the assessments for
the two years mentioned is too high. There
Is no feeling in the matter and this course
was agreed upon some days ago by Treas
urer Howe and some of those on whom
distress warrants were served Mr.. Howe
Is very anxious to have the courts pass
upon this question. as he has no desire
to go ahead with distress warrants unless
he has perfect right to do so under the
law. This question is one which will be
closely watched by those who are still
In arrears in the payment of personal
taxes. The understanding seems to be
that every effort will be made by both sides
to secure an early hearing of the cases, in
order that the treasurer may know what
