The recent decision of the courts , deduct

Thirty-two residents of the Fourth district

Polish church , on South Twenty-ninth street ,
asked for a detail of two policemen to curb
the boisterous conduct of the hoodlums. The
request was referred to the acting chief of

The resignation of S. E. Brown as special

LOOKING UP LEJA.Ij FEATURES.
On the Cannl Hontl rropoutlon the Coin-
mliMionori Will Act Cautiously.
"We don't want any hospital Job on our
hands , " remarked Commissioner Jenkins yes
terday In speaking of the work of the county
board In reference to the Platte canal propo
sition.
The matter now stands before the commis
sioners In the form of several knotty legal
points and It Is pretty generally conceded
by the members of the county board that It
will take at least three weeks to unravel the
difficulties. A session was held behind
olosij. doors Monday "afternoon'at which the
petition signed by 5,000 voters was read.
The board then formulated several legal
propositions which have been submitted to
constitutional lawyers and Is awaiting their
opinions. As these gentlemen virtually pass
upon the validity of bonds , the Issue of which
may range from $1,500,000 to $2,300,000 , no
Immediate response Is expected.
Among the propositions which have been
and will be raised for solution Is the ques
tion as to whether the commissioners by the
appointment of trustees cm divest themselves
of the custody of county property In contra
vention of section 323 , chapter 18 , of the
statutes , which make the county board
guardian of county property. It Is also made
a point that the judges have no authority to
appoint trustees. These and other similar
questions are being prepared for counsel to
pass upon , as provided In the resolution ol
Judge Stenberg of Saturday.
