Half Million. Increase.
Deputy Assessor Frank Mahoney of
Omaha has just completed the assessment
of the real and personal property for the
city of South Omaha upon which the Doug
las county levy will be based. This as
sessment will also be used as the basis
CT the South Omaha municipal levy. The
books were closed yesterday and Mr.. Ma
honey returned them to the county asses
sor's office. The footings show an in
crease of the valuation of South Omaha
property of about 100000 Most of this is
made up by raising the real property OF
the public and quasi public corporations
1t is understood that the Union Stock
Yards company will be considerably raised
on the value OF its lands. Mr.. Mahoney has
had seven assistants working under him.
1t will now be necessary for j. M. Fitz-
gerald of the South Omaha tax commits
sioners office to secure a copy OF the as
sessment as it is on the books of the county
and to present this as his report of the
mayor and council that the levy may be
fixed in the city.
Cheek on Switching Charges.
Two representatives of the State Board
OF Railway commissioners have been in
South Omaha for several days checking up
the business which is done by the Union
Stock Yards company, especially in the
way of switching, The object Is to as
certain the facts and reach a conclusion
as to the justice of the demand of the IN
ion Stock Yards company for a raise in the
switching charges in the south Omaha
yards. If the commission is convinced that
such a raise is justifiable the raise will
probably be permitted.
Senior Fair.
The weather cleared sufficiently last
night TO permit the South Omaha High
school seniors TO conduct the annual fair

vantage of the refreshing evening to visit

ment. The booths were charmingly ar
ranged and the decorations more lavish
than in previous years.
