MERCER LOSES AN OLD SUIT
Property Owners Fail to Establish
InvaIidity of Improvement
Taxes on West Cunning.

Judge Troup in a decree just signed has
upheld the city in the suit whereby DR..
s. d. Mercer and others attacked the
validity of several thousands of dollars in
paving taxes in Improvement district No.
en- The district includes Cunning street be-
tween Thirty-second and Fortieth streets
and it was ordered paved in 1893
Two principal points were involved in the
attack on the taxes. One was the con-
tention of the plaintiffs that the public
property in the district must be included in
the foot frontage. a majority OF which. must
be represented in the petition for paving
AS Bemis park occupies large part Of one
side of the street, and 1t was not signed for
by the city on the petition, the plaintiffs
contended the petition did not represent a
majority of the frontage. This point has
Just been decided by the supreme court in
the case of Herman against the City Of
Omaha, the court holding public property
need not be included in the petition.
The second contention was that, even II
the public property be excluded, majority
Of the private property in the district was
not represented on the petition. 1t was
contended the signatures of Bishop Scan
nell. representing property belonging to the
Catholic church, was not sufficient II this
property were excluded the remainder Of
the petition would not represent majority
of the foot frontage of private property in
the district. Judge Troup held against the
plaintiffs on both contentious and declared
the taxes good. The case probably will
be carried TO the supreme court on the
point involving the authority OF Bishop
Scannell TO sign the petition.
Judge Kennedy has entered a default de-
cree against the city I'm suit brought by
Charles r. Lee to prevent the collection of

A conference of railroad officials is
scheduled in Chicago for next Tuesday to
consider the advisability OF reducing the
class rates from Chicago to the west 1t
was announced from Chicago this week
the railroads were voluntarily to reduce
these rates about Is per cent. the PROPOSE
ton being introduced by the Milwaukee,
road and favored by the Burlington. Word
has Teen received from Burlington officials
in Chicago that no action has been taken
In the matter and nothing promised
tending TO reduce the rates from Chicago
to the Missouri river which would carry
with it corresponding reduction TO the
seaboard from Omaha and other Missouri
river points.
Commissioner McVann and the trans
portation committee OF the Commercial
club have been invited TO appear in Chi
cago Tuesday and assist in determining q
proper reduction in these freight rates
The proposed reductions are to be made IN
2 all rates OF the ten classes into which
freight is divided and will AFFECT the entire
territory between the Atlantic seaboarc
and the Missouri river.
Burlington officials have been indicted al
ST. Louis on the ground of making thes'
reductions to certain jobbers. and 1t wal
said by a prominent railroad official II

all shippers the benefit Of these reductions
on all roads.
