Omaha citizens are supplied with light
water. power, telephone and street railway
service by corporations whose officers are
thoroughly alive to tho needs Of the city
and whose enterprise has resulted in the
establishment Of immense plants which are
maintained to the highest degree of eff
cheney. Especially is this true of those
who use electricity IN any Of its many
forms. 1t is not too much 10 say that no
city has more modern appliances or de-
vices in this line than are daily in use
in Omaha. The water companys plant
is looked upon as model everywhere
while the gas company has adopted the
latest methods Of producing its product
and with the exception that IL finds its
present plant rather small for the growing
needs Of the city, II is right up to date
The growth of the city within the last
two years has been followed by these
public service corporations and new ma
chinery and buildings have been added to
their facilities for caring for the needs

Inc tax assessment rolls for the mast ten
years in a measure illustrate the manner
in which realty has increased in value
and the multiplication Of the personal
wealth subject to taxation. While the 1905

of an estimate, for 1872 1904 and 1906 tho
valuations were on full cash basis;
prior to that to 1897 OF a two-nfths basis.
and in 1897 and 1906 on a one-fifth basis
All have been transformed here to a full
valuation for the purpose of comparison
1t will be noted that the aggregate as
sessment has increased steadily from year
to year. In point Of ratio, however the
personal property valuations have gained
on real estate until they are now nearly
equal in amount. This condition has de-
creased the realty taxes and thrown more

The taxing machinery for the state,

amount of the levy for the state is fixed
by the State Board Of Equalization. for
the city by the city council and mayor
and for the school district by the Board
of Education, the commissioners deter
