State bank from closing the alley at th
rear of the building at the southwest cot
ner of Main street and Broadway was re

In accordance with the opinion rendere

That the equities herein are with th

MEETING of THE CITY COUNCI1
Shen Injunction Mntlcr Come * V
A mil 11 for CoiiNlderntloii.
As the matter stands , it is unlikely thi
the city will take any steps toward fund
Ing the outstanding Indebtedness until afu
the Shea Injunction suit Is heard , and th
question of the validity of the outstandtn
warrants disposed of. At the special calle
meeting of the city council held last nlgr
for the purpose , among other matters , c
devising some plan to relieve the financl :
stringency , City Solicitor Wadsworth gav
it as his opinion that tt would be tmpolltli
In view of the pending injunction suit , t
even as much as think of funding the out
standing warrants. For his reasons he sal
that until the Shea suit was decided !
would be practically impossible to markt
the bonds , as Intending purchasers could nc
bo assured that they were Issued for
valid Indebtedness. Also that If the bond
were sold and the court decided In favor <
Shea and held that the warrants which h
sought to enjoin the payment of were ilk
gal , inasmuch as they had been Issued I
excess , of the constitutional limit of indebi
edness/thcn the bonds would be equally it
valid.
The Injunction suit is to bo heard Jun
27 , but as Attorney Wadsworth stated I
might be one or two months longer befoi
the court would be prepared to hand dow
Its decision in view of the Importance c
the question Involved.
The papers In the city warrant case can
not be prepared for an appeal to the suprem
court In less than about twenty days , an
Mr. Wadsworth stated that he did nc
look for a decision In that case until afu
the Shea suit is tried. In the meantime ti
hands of the city treasurer are tied , as t
can neither pay the outstanding warrants nt
the ones Issued for current expenses. Th
employes of the city in the meantime mui
either hold their warrants or else dlscour
them at 75 cents on the dollar , and they ni
even finding difficulty In disposing of thei
at that figure. The council finally adjournc
without taking action.
City Engineer Etnyre presented a repoi
as to the unsafe condition of the Nort
Main street bridge , which has been closci
recommending that the worn out piling t
replaced with Iron piers , and the clerk we
Instructed to advertise for bids for the pier
The flooring on the bridge will also have I
be renewed and the Iron work painted.
In accordance with Instructions Issued i
the last meeting , Finance Clerk True Bui
milled a list of the property owned by tt
city on West Broadway , showing that It cot
slsted of 69 lots In Evans' bridge and Pe :
ry's second addlllon , quit claim deeds I
which had been given lo T. J. Evans. Tli
taxes , both special and general , for tt
years 1894 to 1897 Inclusive arc still ou (
standing on Iho tax books against th
property , and a resolution was passed Ir
structlng the city clerk to have the counl
auditor cancel all general and special ell
taxes and to go before the board of stipe
visors and request that the same bo dor
with the county taxes.
