CITY COUNCIL HEARS COMPLAINTS

Conditions in Flooded Districts Dis-
cussed Last Might.
Much OF the time of the session Of the
city councily last night was taken up
listening to complaints from owners OF
property In the flooded districts, and re-
quests from these parties that the city
do something to relieve the conditions COM
planned of. Everyone was given a patient
hearing, and the councilmen will meet this
afternoon as a committee OF the whole
and make a tour of the flooded districts.
In several instances the railroad grades
were declared to be responsible for the
flooded conditions in certain neighborhoods,
and larger culverts under the tracks was
one Of the remedies suggested. Represen-
tatlves OF these railroads will be asked to
go over the ground with the committee of
the whole this afternoon. Numerous COM
plants Of stagnant water were filed, m
these will also be investigated by the COM
mlttee this afternoon.
The on bridges was directed
to commence at once the necessary repairs
on the Indian creek bridges at Elliot and
Benton streets. Councilman Younkerman
suggested moving the bridge now at Eighth
street to Elliot street and closing North
Eighth street until such time as the city
could put in a concrete bridge at this point.
The suggestion did not meet with favor.
A. c. Keller, president OF the West Coun-
ell Bluffs Improvement club, filed a re-
quest that the sidewalk ordered in front
OF property owned by him on Thirty-sec-
ond street, north of the school house, be
cut out OF the list. The request was
granted by a vote of Z to 8, although
Councilman Belllnger stated the walk was
needed for the convenience of the children
attending that school. Some of the coun-
cilmen expressed the opinion that Mr.. KEEL
Ter should not have objected to the side
walk, seeing that II was for the improve
ment of the section of the city in which
he resides.
The councIlmen declined to pass the pure
milk ordinance because the city solicitor
had failed to provide them with copies
of the measure as directed at the previous
meeting. The ordinance was laid over for
another week awaiting the copies.
A request from the Omaha Grain Ex-
change that 1t be permitted to establish
scales and an office at the intersection
Of Pearl and Main streets was referred
to the COMMITTEES on bridges and city pro-
perty.
Attention was called to the failure of
a number Of owners OF business property
on Broadway and other streets to clean
the sidewalks after the recent flood. A
list OF the delinquents Is to be furnished
the police department.
The council after disposing of more or
less routine business adjourned to Thurs
day afternoon.

w. w. Baldwin of the Burlington has
discovered by Inquiries to the county aud
itor that the taxes which farm lands rent
ing for cash rent pay is but 6 per cent
OF the cash received as rent, while the
railroads pay taxes. as he claims, which
is IS per sent of their net earnings, the
net earnings corresponding to the cash
rent Of the farms. The fact that reports
this year show wide discrepancies between
the assessed value and sale value OF
farms, showing that the sale value on the
average has increased nearly 40 per cent
while the assessed value is actually lower
that formerly, is the feature OF the assess
ment business this year.
