~ miles Of paved streets and altogether
has about 40 miles Of streets.
The total existing public improvements
| in Omaha comprise III miles Of pave
ment, 2OS miles OF sewer and s4S miles Of
sidewalk. the approximate cost Of these
improvements. including the grading Of
over 10000 cubic yards Of earth, being

neighborhood OF s3.Ooo.ooO. The sidewalks
represent about Sl.5M.ecO expenditures.
while excavations and other improve
ments have cost about sl.5o0O00
InteIligently studied the public I'M
provements of Omaha convey some idea
OF how great has been the enterprise.
energy and activity in construction as
well as the limitless task incidental to
| the complex problems Of engineering in
the bsildiSg of streets. sewers and estab-
nshment of grades.
Fer tie year 1872 the city engineers
office has prepared plans for eurbing
and for paving for the season. This
/ work is ready under contract and much
OF II under construction. The yaTdage
| for this pavement which will be laid is
brick. sec; asphalt. $500; artificial
stone. 3,225, while the number OF ineal
| feet Of curbing connected with the work
is 3.1Oa
| Other petitions for paving and curbing
which have been prepared. hut as yet 10
be passed by the commission. indicate
that the present year will be the busiest
season in the way Of paving.
Omaha maintains Liz arc lamps and
LEO gas lamps on its business and resi-
denee streets. While Omaha is not so
well lighted in its residence districts 1t is
particularly well lighted in the down
town section.
Omaha has seven steel street railroad
viaducts and seventy-five wooden bridges.
Plans have been prepared for new via
ducts across Nicholas street. Bancroft
street. Dodge street and Locust street.
and some day these viaducts may be
built
Omaha is very active in the way Of
new buildings. In 1911 l.S12 building per-
mts, aggregsting $4,000. were issued
during the year. Approximately SSOooo :
600 has been expended In new wholesale,
retail. factory buildings and residences
In the last five years. The constant I'D
vance Of Omaha in realty values is evil
dence Of omaha's steady growth. Though
there has been no boom. real estate has
always been active, and last year trans.
fers amounting to more than 10000
were recorded.

Unlike many cities. and. in fact. prac-
tically all Of them. omaha's taxes are
paid on basis Of one-fifth Of the actual
value Of the property. In comparing the
tax rates of Omaha with that Of other
cities. it Is necessary to figure the basis
Of assessment So common Is the prac-
tee to assess on what is assumed TO be
the actual value. omaha's standing with
other cities can be secured only by taking
one-fifth of her present levy Cor com
parstive purposes
For the year 1sl2 the assessed valuation
of omaha's taxable property on the basis
OF one-fifth OF the actual value is ss1.-
T7s,sl. The taxe rate on assessed value
to produce the revenue for city purposes
for 1917 Is iSs mills and for the public
schools Is mills. making total OF CAS-
mills. II Omaha were assessed on full
value the tax rate would be d mills. OF
sl-0 on the hundred.
Under the present city charter. the
city officials are not permitted 10 levy
more than N.ocoooo for city purposes,
ever. all of omahas receipts do not come
from taxation. The electric light and
gas companies pay a royalty each year
to the city, but these amounts go into
the sinking and lighting fund. and are
available only for the payment OF inter
est on Indebtedness and for lighting the
streets.
or the 10000 required for the mainten-
ance of the public schools OF the city
more than half Is raised by taxation.
hence the l5-min levy for ISL In addi-
ton to the money thus raised for school
purposes receipts from liquor licenses
and druggists permits, along with certain
other licenses and receipts, go into the
school fund.
In lsll liquor licenses AMI druggists
permits amounted to s2S0.TSo while sl7.557
was received from miscellaneous sources.
The city's inoo no from all sources
other than the money -a;sed by direct
taxation amounted to saOl.5466s This
included xo.ss which was paid as royalty
by the electric light and gas companies.
With the money received Omaha has
shown activity in all lines of public I'm.
provements. in all parts OF the city.
Omaha citizens may congratulate thc1;-
selves upon the fact that they have the
best paved business district streets Of
any city of its size in the country. In
the last two years Omaha has paved and
repaved more than six miles OF its streets
In the downtown section.
During the last six years thirty-six
miles OF pavement have been laid in
Omaha. At the present time Omaha has

CATTLE-There were very few cattle
here today, only thirteen cars being re-
ported, which was not enough 10 cut
much figure on the market. Receipts,
however, were as large as could well be
expected considering that Il was Fri-

For the five days this week receipts foot
up 1885 head, being slightly above last
week, but not so large as three or four
weeks ago and smaller than a year ago
by almost eco head.
There were four cars OF dis6llery cattle
included among the arrivals, which sold
at $50 the same price as was paid for
them yesterday. This included pretty
much AL there was here OF any conse-
