CITY WINS IN
INJUNCTION OF
PAVING CASE
JUDGE BEGLEY HOLDS CITY WAS
IN THE BIGHT IN RECON
SIDERING CONTRACT.
NOT VALID UNTIL WAS SIGNED
Interest of J. H. McMaken in Com
pany Was Not. of Such. Nature ,
as to Affect Contract.
From Saturday's Dally.
The much mooted question of the
right of the city to reconsider their
letting of the paving contract to the
Modern Construction Co., was pass
ed upon yesterday afternoon when
Judge Begley handed down his de
cision in which he denied the appli
cation of the Modern Construction
Co. for a restraining order to pre
vent the city from entering into a
new contract for the paving.
The case did not develop a great
deal of testimony, only the city rec
ords covering the proceedings being
introduced and the personal testi
mony of Charles M. Parker, being
offered by the plaintiffs in the case
who testified as to the practical
knowledge of a contractor as to the
cost of a job of this kind prior to
its completion.
The plaintiffs contended that the
awarding of the contract by the city
council to the Modern Construction
Co. constituted a binding contract
without the necessity of a written
contract and that the company was
entitled to go ahead and perform
the work and was ready to do so.
As to the adequate remedy under the
law, the plaintiff contended it was
impossible to fully estimate , the
amount to which the plaintiff com
pany would . be damaged by -lha-failure
to carry out the contract." The
attorney for the plaintiff contended
also that the application of the law
to the fact of the Interest cf Council
man J. H. McMaken In the Modern
Construction Co. was purely that of
blood relation and affection, while
the intent of the law had been to
cover financial interest direct or in
direct in barring a city officer from
participating in a contract with the
city.
The defense of the ctiy as present
ed by Mr. Rawls was that the city
council had proceeded in a lawful
manner in the rejection of the award
of the paving after they had agreed
to accept 'it, as there was no written
contract made and executed by the
parties to the work and as had been
specifically provided for in the in
structions In the plans and specifica
tions, and which were of knowledge
of the plaintiffs in the case. This
was the main contention of the city
and on which it based its defense
against the action of the plaintiff.
The court in its decision found
for the defendant city and dissolved
the temporary restraining order
against the city which has been in
force since last Monday evening and
which decision will permit the city
to go ahead at the meeting Monday
and award a new contract for the
paving.
Judge Begley held tha there was
clear and distinct provision made in
the plans and specifications of the
paving bids that covered the fact
that the contract was not valid until
it had been signed by all of the par
ties to the ocntract and proper bond
filed and none of which had been
done at the time the city council re
considered its previous action.- The
awarding by the council, the court
held, was merely a matter of nego
tiation between the parties and not
binding on the city.
If the plaintiffs had sustained
damages by the action of the city
council their remedy lay in an action
for damages, not in the injunction
proceedings, the court held.
While the matter of the relation
ship of Mr. McMaken ot the Modern
Construction Co., w-as not made a
point in the injunction proceedings,
the court held that as there had been
no showing that Mr. J. H. McMaken
was receiving any salary or other fi
nancial return from the company
there could be no proof of his direct
or indirect Interest as under the laws
of the state a wife can hold personal
property In her own right, sue and be
sued, or make disposition of her
property without the necessity of the
assent of the husband.

TERRIFIC WIND
STORM DOES LOT
OF DAMAGE
Rainfall Following the Wind Causes
Scare m Business Section, on
Account of High Water
From Saturday's Dally.
Following cloudbursts at Green
wood and Ashland at an early hour
this morning the storm burst on this
city with all its fury a few moments
before 8 o'clock and for some twenty
minutes one of the most intense wind
and rain storms of the summer pre
vailed and did a great deal of dam
age over the city and through the
surrounding territory.
While the rainfall was not as
great as that yesterday the short per
iod in which it fell, added to the fact
that the ground had been well soak
ed, made it easy for a sudden over
flow of the sewers on bith Chicago
and Washington avenue and which
for a few moments menaced the busi
ness section of the city.
The Chicago avenue sewer which
drains a small territory was the
first to overflow and soon had South
Sixth street flowing with water from
curb to curb and the sewer inlets
wholly Inadequate to handle the vol
ume of water that was flowing down
the street, as they were filled to their
capacity and a force of citizens and
Street Commissioner- Elliott worked
hard to keep the inlets open and al
low the water that could to flow in
to the new sewers.
It was but a short time after the
overflow of the Chicago avenue Bew
er that the Washington avenue resi
dents telephoned down that the creek
leading to the sewer was almost
bank full and the sewers choking
with the volume of the water and it
was a matter of only a few moments
until the water from that section of
the city would sweep down into the
main part of the city and add its part
to the flood waters.
When both sewers were overflow
ing the water rose to the sidewalks
on both North and South Sixth street
and menaced the stores of E. A. Wurl
and the Egenberger soft drink par
lor for some time and in fact Mr.
Wurl was unfortunate enough to get
several Inches of water In the area
way underneath the walk which is
used for the storage of coal, the;
water apparently seeping through
from one of the sewer inlets.
Every section of the city reports
trees blown down and sheds and oth
er outbuildings damaged in the very
Intense storm and on North Seventh
and Ninth streets the traffic was al-l
most Impossible owing to the large
number of trees and limbs that had1
been blown into the street. , . j
At the residence of Harry Kruker,
on Washington avenue a large tree
was broken off and carried away(
with it the telephone lines serving
that part of the city and which will
require some time to replace. On
west Locust streets the electric lines
were blown down
and one of the
poles burned by" the live wires touch
ing It.

party in honor of Miss Virginia Bee

ship of state as it fell from the life
less hand of his captain. Warren G.

oath to perform the itutieS r at, the

RESIDENT OF THE
SOUTH PORTION OF
CITY COMPLAINS
Thinks That More Attention Should
Be Given to Care cf Lincoln
Avenue in This City.
'I
'!
1 From Friday's Daiiy.
i The Journal has been asked to
give exposition to the views of one
' of the well known residents of the
south portion of the city who resides
' in the vicinity of Lincoln avenue
and wTho has marked views concern
ing the care of and maintenance of
the avenue.
This gentleman claims, and his as
sertion is well founded, that this im-
JL'portant street is in very rough and
JLlbad shape and has been so for the
I entire summer and he feels that the
! residents of that section of the city
snuuiu nave same wur& penuruieu uu
the avenue. As the gentleman states
the avenue is one that is very ex
tensively used by the men working
iu the shops as well as by the resi
dents from south of the city travel
ing back and forth from their homes
and they find a rough, uneven street
to travel over and with several very
bad crossings that makes the going
as hard as possibly could be imag
ined. While the season has been such as
to check some of the street work, our
friend believes that he has a just
cause for complaint and would like
very much to have the avenue placed
in cs good a condition as possible in
the immediate future.

PLATTE RIVER IS
FOLLOWING IN FOOT
STEPS OF MISSOURI
Efforts to Check Change of Channel
Thru Valuable Sand Pits Have
.Proven Unsuccessful.
From Saturday's Dally.
The June rise of the Platte river
did more damage at this point than
was supposed at the time. The Cour
ier made mention of the fact that
the river broke through and flowed
into the Lyman-Richey sand pits, but
the greatest apprehension at the time
was that the thousands of game fish
planted by the state would escape.
It did not occur to anyone at the
time that when the waters receded
the course of the main channel of the
river would continue through the
lakes and threaten the destruction of
the sand industry at this particular
point.
So deep has become the channel
and so swift the water that it has
baffled all efforts to change Its
course. For more than six weeks the
sand company has had a gang of
men at work with a drag line ln an
endeavor to check the flow.
More than ten thousand bags of
sand as well as innumerable car
loads of concrete have been dumped
into the stream, only to be torn away
:r-e chaf. before a Kansas . cyclonei
Jt Is said that It has cost the suai
company upto date more than $5,
000 in an endeavor to protect their
property, and still the waters rush
on apparently undisturbed by the
efforts of the workmen.
A new plan is now being tried,
which Superintendent Sundstrom
hopes may be successful. Instead of
dumping sand bags into the stream
as before, he is having them wired
together and hopes in this way to
prevent them from washing away.
If the new plan proves successful he
will have the course of the stream
changed within the next few days.
