From a staff Correspondent)
/ LINCOLN, Sept 22.-(SpeciaL)-It is
evident that the present method of gain
ing statistics Is not very reliable. judging
from the reports OF assessors sent in to
the secretary Of the state Board Of AS
sessment and the secretary Of the State
/ Board Of Agriculture.
Blank reports similar in nature are fur
nished the assessors of the different
counties. and they are supposed to fur
nish TO the state Board OF Agriculture the
conditions as they find them as accu-
rtely as they furnish them to the secre-
tary OF the State Board OF Assessment
The reports sent in by the county as
SCISSOR OF Douglas county. which show
about the same conditions as those of
many other counties disclose that to the
secretary OF the State Board of Assess
ment the number OF automobiles in Doug
las county Is given as 2,2O6. while to the
ecretary Of the State Board OF Agricul-
ture the number is given as only 1923. To
the State Board Of Assessment the num-
Der Of horses is given as 1929 while to
the state Board Of Agriculture they are
given as 5,4Sl Cattle are given in to the
state Board OF Assessment as 14,71O and
to the other board as 1914
Dogs have a better chance with the
Board of Agriculture, the number in
Douglas county being SCI. However. the
number of canine inhabitants drops off to
2e when one consults the reports sent to
the State Board of Assessment.
ROyse Corrects Impression.
Secretary Royse of the State Banking |
board rather objects to statement made
this morning that he believes the Home |
Building association OF Omaha carries a
plan which is Legitimate and within the
law"
The impression I meant TO convey" /
said the secretary was that the plan
given to me by the president OF the assoc
citation was one which did not II my opin-
ION come under the Jurisdiction of the
state Banking board, and therefore did
not require license. l do not care to
appear as endorsing any plan as legiti-
mate when 1 have not had a chance to
investigate IT, There are many home
bullding plans that do not come under the
jurisdiction of the board which are per
iectly legitimate perhaps, and there are
others which are not The fact that thew
do not come under our supervision does !
not mean that they are all right. 1 did
not intend to create that impression YES
teSday. though can readily see that n
might have been taken that way through
Misunderstanding of the scope given
the board by the law"
