DUMONT SAYS BOOST FARMS
Real Estate Man Says Equalization
Board Should Do This.
OFFSET TO RAISE IN CITY
In Address at the Exchange He Says
stxty-Nine Dollars an Acre for
Douglas County Farms IL
Ridiculous.

J. H. Dumont. speaking before the Oman
Real Estate Exchange wednesday noon' *
pressed the belief that II the values on city
real estate are to be advanced and the
County Board Of Equalization is To make
an effort to arrive at a figure nearer the
true value of property the farms should
be assessed at a figure tar In advance OF
the proposed $50 per acre.
Mr.. Dumont said Il was ridiculous %
think of assessing Douglas farms at 80 per
acre when an attempt was being made u
fix the true value Of such lands, and sug-
gested that members Of the exchange make
il a point to go before the board and learn
why some OF the dvances announced have
been made and upon wha- oasis.
The exchange took up the matter OF
Mayor Dahlman vetoing the ordinance re-
curing water. gas and sewers to be put in
before paving is done. In the discussion
the opinion was expressed by W. H Green
and others that the mayo should not place
a veto on the ordinance. as the payements
were torn W almost as soon as they were
down. E. A. Benson said that there would
be no way Of enforcing such an ordinances
as far as gas and water mains are CON
cerned. and 1t is useless TO put the ordi-
nance on the books
wead Points to Trouble.
The trouble is not in tearing up the pave
ment, but in replacing It." said F. D. Wead.
Almost two years ago I paid for the re-
placing OF the pavement near my building
where it had been cut Hp TO pu; IN water-
The hole is there yet. The trouble n 20
get the engineering department to do the
repairing. though To get a permit tie in
dividual or company tearing up TIE pave
msnt Is compelled 10 raw into the Il fund
a sum sufficient to repair the damage.N
J. II. Dumont suggested thai II an in
vestigation was made il probably would be
disclosed that the money paid in for re-
pairing ravements has long ago been usei
by the city government for something else
and the holes remain.
W. II. Green, J. II. Dumont and W. II
Gates were appointed on a to
look over the matter pertaining to repair

Question of Bank Assessment.

y From Saline county a question has come
up to the State Board of Assessment re-
garding the assessment Of the undivided
profits Of a bank. The proposition Is just
this; When a bank loans a large sum Of
money not infrequently the interest is col
lected in advance for three or six months.
This interest is then put in the fund des-
ignaIsd undivided prOftA The day after
the loan. along comes the assessor and
counts this money in the total assessment.
The bank claims the money has not yet
been earned and should not therefore be
counted as belonging to the bank The at
torney general will give no ruling on the
question until it comes to him through the
county attorneR.
