Dec. l-SpeCldLJ-lu ne ltkal
department Of the city Of Omaha has filed
another brief In the supreme court In sup
port OF a motion for a rehearing in the
case Of Anna J. Robinson against the city
Of Omaha. A brief written and filed by
]. ]. Dunn in this same case recently,
caused that young attorney to be disbarred
indefinitely from the practice Of law. Con-
sequently the brief filed today TO take
the place Of the one stricken from tho
files Of the court was looked forward to
with some interest. The new brief carries
the name Of Harry e. Burnam and John A..
Rlne, attorneys for the city. The other
brief had these two names and also the
name Of Dunn. incidentally the brief filed
today Is a very tame affair and deals
solely with the law at issue, and not with
the attorneys opinion Of the court,
Opposes Corporation Tax.
Herbert Howe, member Of the legislature
from Nemaha county some years ago, is
here today. having remained over after at
tending a meeting Of the West Indies Ma
hogany company, of which he is a member.
This company has something over 100000
acres of timber lands in Haytl and e. NJ.
Pollard, ex-congressman from this district,
will leave Saturday to spend the winter
looking after the interests of the company.
The timber includes mahogany and other
hard woods. The company will buy a boat
when Mr.. Pollard gets on the ground and
ship the timber in this to the port where
the ocean liners touch.
incidentally Mr.. Howe expressed himself
much opposed to the corporation occupa-
ton tax, which he said, would result in
driving out OF business most of the small
corporations Of the state. In Auburn, he
said, there we're several corporations or
ganized simply to help develop the city,
but he predicted that in a couple of years
all of them would go out Of business, II
the occupation tax law stood the test Of
the courts.
