UNION PACIFIC CONTESTS
TAX LEVY IN MERRlCK

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., Nov. 3o-(Spe-
clal) are threatened in tn,
matter of the collection of the taxes as
sessed against the Union Pacific railroad
in Merrick county, and it is probable thai
the courts may be called upon to settle
the dispute. When the various townships
made their assessments this year some
of them merely Jumped the road, bridge
and general llevies together under tn.
head of ''all purposes" and certified theii
levies in that form to the county clerk,
who made up the tax lists. The limit
for road purposes is 10 mills, for bridge
mills and for general purposes mills.
The railroad claims that where the levies
were all included in one sum under the
head. of IAN purposes that they mus
be counted as a general fund levy, anu
that the 2 mills general levy cannot be
exceeded. Accordingly they rendered
County Treasurer John T. Mclean the
sum of $S4,O10.75 and refused to pay the
balance OF Sl,5O3.01. which they claim was
eroneously levied
County Treasurer Mclean has received
guaranty from the railroad that the
receiving OF the tS4,o1O.75 shall not preju-
dice his right to collect any further ana
different sums claimed to be due FOR
taxes. He says that as soon as February
rolls round he will issue distress war
rant for the collection of the protested
taxes. It is the opinion OF County At
torney Rice that the treasurer has nc
power OF judgment touching the validity
of taxes. and that he has no authority
to make partial settlement, and that
therefore the tender should have been re-
jected and a demand made for the full
amount.
