The above does not show the assessment
OF the Union Stock Yards company, which
will probably be about $4,000, 10000. The big
corporations OF the city will be responsible
for over half OF the city taxes.
The table quoted shows that the tax COM
missioner has raised the assessment OF
nearly every one of the corporations. This
is notably the case with the Omaha Water
company and the Street railway. The
Omaha Water company has been raised
about 100000. This probably means that
the company will contest the assessment
in court. II the court allows the city to
tax the franchise II Is asserted the assess
ment will be none too high.
The Omaha Water company appealed
last year and the court decided that the
assessment was Illegal because the tax
commissioner and the Board OF Reviews had
no facts before them on which to base such
an assessment. 1t was not declared by the
court that the assessment was excessive.
The Street Railway company objected TO
the assessment last year also when it was
500. 900 less. II is likely that they will file
a remonstrance
II the assessment is kept up to about the
figures quoted the rate Of the levy will be
reduced fully five mills. This will be d
black eye to the people who have been
declaring that there must be an increase
on the mill levy.
The value OF the real and personal prop
erty assessed last year was a little over
$21. 1000. The tax commissioner over
looked an assessment of $4,000 in footing
up his balances last year, and this made
considerable difference in the totals.
r The board of review goes into session for
the adjustment Tuesday morning. This
) board will be in session eight days. The
= people who have any belief that their
!, assessment is unjust must appear before
, this board and prove their case.
