County Attorney Shotwell will go
to Chicago this week, to present the
question of the legality Of the bonds
as viewed by himself and other
Omaha attorneys. Mr.. Breen and
perhaps some. other local attorneys
will go with him.
II think Mr.. Oakley has made a
very natural error in his decision on
these bonds" said Mr.. Shotwell.

other decision on the question"
The decision Of the Chicago bond
attorneys was delivered to the coun-
ty commissioners by c. ]. Claassen,

$4,000 RIOT
BONDS invalid,
RULESLAW FIRM
Decision Means That Chicago
Firm Withdraws Bid, Leav-
ing Officials Here Without
Money for Repairs.

The Douglas county court house
repair bonds Of $4,000 issued un-
der authority OF. an act passed by a
special session of the state legisla.
ture, are invalid, according to an
opinion received yesterday by the
board Of county COMM sioners from
a. ]. Oakley OF the law firm of
Wood & Oakley, Chicago. attorneys
for the Harris Trust and Savings Co.
OF Chicago.
The message came through the
Peters Trust Co. OF Omaha which
bought the issue of bonds in con-
junction with the Harris Trust &
Savings Co.
II astounded the county commits
sioners. 1t takes away the money
which is so urgently needed for re-
pairing the court house and rcstor-
ing the records burned by-the mob
the night of September 2s.
Some Already Expended.
A considerable portion of The
money has already been expended in
paying the workers who are bnsv day
and, night restoring the records.
he decision simply means that
the Chicago company withdraws its
bid and refuses TO accept the bonds.
The Peters Trust Co. will do the
same unless reversal of the de-
cision is secured. This leaves the
county without any money! with,
which to go on with the restoration
Of the court house and the records
Mr.. Oakley bases his opinion on
the Nebraska constitutional clause
which states that no indebtedness
in excess Of $3.50 per 800 OF valua-
ton" SHAH be incurred by Douglas
county without vote -of the peo-
pie"
Right there is where Mr. Oakley
has made an error, / believe said
County Clerk Frank Dewey. "He
has figured Douglas county's valua-
ton at the one-fifth return of actual
value. This is $So,84o,l05, whereas
the actual value of all Douglas
county property is just five, times
that, namely $299,245,s1s.
Says Foolish Business"
Last year we levied about $1,000
600 for regular county expenses.
Adding this $4,000 allowed by the
legislature, makes about $2,822,000
levied last year without vote of the
people. This, of course, is more
than $l.50 per 500 of the one-hftn
valuation, but it is far from being
$3.50 per 500 of actual valuation.
This business of dividing actual val
uation by five before making the as
sessment is foolish business and
has gotten us into trouble before"

'0MAHA'S WOMAN
CONVENTION HEAD
RESIGNS PLACE
Miss Doris Goethe Goes Into
Insurance Succeeded
By Mrs. Walker.

Miss Doris NJ. Goethe, conven-
ton secretary Of the Chamber of
Commerce for nearly two years,
during which time she acquired a
nationwide reputation as one of the
few women holding such position,
has resigned. Her resignation will
take effect on February Is.
Miss Goethe has been connected
with the Chamber for nearly seven
years, first as stenographer, then
as private secretary and most re-
Gently as convention secretary. She
is leaving the Chamber to assume
duties in the wonlan's department of
large insurance company.
Mrs. Mabel Z. Walker, manager
Of the soldiers employment bureau
Of the Chamber, has been appointed
to succeed Miss Goethe. Mrs.
Walker came to the Chamber
from the national headquarters of
the War Savings committee in
Washington. Before that she was
secretary of the Omaha War Saw
ings committee, previous to which
she was connected with the Fos-
ter-Barker Co. for several years.
The position as convention host
ess is considered most important.
Since it was established the number
of women accompanying husbands
to conventions here has been tripled
and it is believed that thousands of
women have come to Omaha who
ordinarily would have replained at
home.
Although Mrs. Walker will devote
most of her time to her new duties,
she will continue to supervise the
employment bureau. The need Of
the bureau is gradually diminishing,
however, and it is only matter of a
month or So until it will be closed.
