No Money in Sight for
Increase in Pay Of
Fremen and Police

/, Where is the city going to get the
lhmoney to pay increases in salaries of
policemen and hremen durin~ the
year, 1919? This is a question which
City Commissioner Ufe, superintend-
ent of the department of accounts
and finance, is trying to solv,.
when we considered the levy last
July we counted on possible in
crease of 10 per cent to the police
men and hremen," he said. THE
I charter commission is now talking
Of increases of 10, 20 and 80 per cent,
varying according to- the present sal
ary in each case,
This would take about $l75,000
extra for the year instead of the
100000 we counted on when we
made the levy.
IF the legislature grants an in
crease greater than 10 per cent we
should also secure some legislation
which will enable us to issue war
rants for the extra money above
100000 and then provide for taking
care of these warrants out of the
1920 levy" .

SUPREME court
GIVES OPINION
IN AUBURN CASE
Modifies Decision in Bank Tax
Case; Mortgages Can Be
Assessed as Real
Estate Equity.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Dec. 26.-(Special. AN
advance indication of the Nebraska
supreme courts probable views up
on the question involved in the Au-
rora bank case, where the First Ma
tional bank of Aurora is attempting
to get deduction from its tax as
sessrnent to the amount of Liberty
bonds that it held last April |, is
contained in a decision announced
today in a suit filed by the Nemaha
County bank Of Auburn against the
Nemaha county board OF equaliza-
ton and assessment.
This case hinged upon the claim
of the bank at Auburn that it was
entitled to deduct $81 900 of real
estate mortgages from its total as
sessment of $4,000, leaving only
$4,000 subject to taxation. The dis
trict court refused to allow the de-
duction. This judgment is modified
by the supreme court, which holds
that $1,000 of the mortgages were
deductible and the remainder not
The portion of which a deduction
is allowed CONSISTS of mortgages
that were made without the proviso
requiring the borrower to pay the
tax. AS these mortgages could be
assessed as real estate equity owned
b. the bank, they are not subject to
taxation in another form, the high
bench declares. But no mortgages
are thus exempt where the borrow
er has agreed to pay the tax, there
by relieving the bank from its obi
cation.
Similar to Aurora Case.
The opinion written by Judge
Cornish, goes into the question in
considerable detail 1t interprets
the amendment to the Smith mort
gage tax law enacted by the legis-
lature of 1915, which forbids banks
and trust companies to deduct real
estate mortgages from their capital
stock assessments. =
Issues in this suit were somewhat
similar to those in the Aurora bank
case, recently appealed to the high
bench The Aurora bank claims
that Liberty bonds should be de-
Quoted from its capital stock assess
ment because they are nontaxable,
The state and county authorities
contend that no attempt has been
made to tax the bonds, and that
their possession by the bank does
not make its capital stock worth
more or less.

Interurban Railway
Must Build Viaduct
Regardless Of Cost

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 26.-(SpeciaD
The supreme court today ruled
that when the Omaha & Southern
Interurban railroad company failed
to appear before the Sarpy county
board and object to the opening Of
a new highway across its tracks,
being part of the boulevard drive
from Omaha to Bellevue, it there
by became liable for the construc-
ton of an overhead viaduct.
According to the opinion pre-
pared by Judge Letton it makes no
difference whether The viaduct will
cost $4,000, or any other sum. The
fact that the highway IS not neces-
sary public road and is used chiefly
for pleasure driving does not alter
the company's obligation, it holds.
