SACU1N STARTS HIS SUIT Asks for a Temporary Injunction to Stop the Wickharn Paving Contract. ALLEGES COLLUSION AMONG THE BIDDERS Says the Vvli'r l.i Too IIIkIi mill Tlint the Whole ProeveilliiKN lluve Heen lilt-Kill lleeiliise .Vt Properly Iliitcri'tl Into, James A. SnRtiln filed Ms petition In the dlrtrlr.t court yesterday In the Injunction prorredlnus In which ho seeks to restrain the tlty from entering Into. or carrying out tlio paving contract with U. P. Wlckhnm. The petition comes a little late to prevent the city from entering Into the contract, as Mayor Jennings as chief executive of the municipality attached his oinclal signature to the contrast Tuesday morning. In nil dltlon to the mayor, members of the conn ell and n. P. Wickharn, Saguln makes K. A Wlckhnm n co-defendant, alleging that the Ifctter. while not appearing In the written tontract. Is n party thereto and directly In (crested In the carrying out of the same end the profits resulting thcretrom Aflnr r.mlMni t tin iirnnpmllmra nf thn nlfv council relative to the awarding of the . . , , , . . , raving contract complnlneil of Sngulu nl- l0Rrs 1,101 ,nc '"Ids for the paving were Improperly advertised, Inasmuch as the ma- terlal therefor was not specifically sched- "l "'' llRnftted as required by law; Hint tho bids for the paving were nlso not ,,, . i. i.. i. utllclently speelflc. and did not rorrespond Ith the advertisement therefor or tho schedules nnd rpeclflctitlons of tho adver tisement. Ho contends further that the ordinance nder which tho bids and specifications ore advertised Is Illegal nnd void and In lolntlon of tho constitution, In that It Icprlves tho abutting property owners on said street of their property without due process of law. Allcnc ln fill r Collusion, Continuing, he alleges that the contract os not awarded to tho lowest bidder, as required by law. Saguln makes the allega Hon that nil tho bidders pursuant to nn Illegal combination and agreement made with each other nnd the manufacturers o the material for uso i said paving, made no competitive bids, but merely made an apparent show of bidding against each ther nnd thnt each nnd every bid made for such paving was In truth and In fact the bid of hut ono party or parties representing uch fraudulent, Illegal nnd unlawful com blnatian. Ho asserts Hint by reason of this Uegcd combination the bids for such pnv lng is lnrgely In excess of the value thoreof nd Is extortionate and unreasonnhlo; and further, thnt tho accepted bid nnd contract made In pursuance thereof is fraudulent illegal, void and of uo effect. In conclusion tho petition recites thnt per cent of tho value of n large portion of the property abutting on the streets to bo paved under tho contract complained o will not pay the cost of the paving, nut therefore the additional cost over and above tho 25 per cent of the value of said prop crty will be and become an additional In debtedness of tho city, whereby the munlc Ipal indebtedness will be Increased In ex cess nf the statutory limit. And for thl reason ho further nvers that the contrac with II. P. Wickharn Is unlawful, lllegnl and void. He askB that a temporary writ of lnjunc tlon bo Issued restraining the city and each one of tho defendants from In any way entering Into the contract for the pav ing nf snld street or for the paving of the street In front of his property, or from car ll.MI. rylng nut the contract or from paying there- for. or from certifying nny nssessmcnt I ngnlnst the property abutting thereon, or I ngalnst his property, by reason of any pav ing under such contract.

Attorney Clininticm Appcnln front the Hlcii Avenuo DccInIoii. The Hoard of Education is In ns great n quandary as ever over tho High school site. Much to tho surprise of the members of tho board and In fact everyone else except tho tvo In the secret, It developed yesterday morning that Attorney II. J. Chambers had late on Suturday evening filed with County Superintendent McManus an appeal from the board's action in selecting the old Hlgn school site aH tho location for the new build ing. That etich an appeal had been filed was kept a secret by the county superin tendent at the request of Attorney Chum hem, who hnd hoped that the board would rtvclnd Its former action nt Its meeting Tuesday night und thus make such action on his part unnecessary. Hud the board ro- rclnded Its action, the appeal would havo been withdrawn and nothing snld about It, but as tho board adhered to Its determina tion to place tho new High school on (ilen avenue, tho appeal win stand. neiore leaving for Neola yesterday morning to get married. County Superintendent Mc.Mnnus unnlllclnlly notified several members of the hoard of the tiling of tho appeal. Olllclal notice will be served on his return. In tho appeal tiled Attorney Chambers. after setting out that ho Is n resident nnd taxpayer of tho school district and Inter ested In the welfare of the schools, recites thi facts relative to the school election held In March. lR'.iO. when the proposition to Is sue JtiS.000 bonds for tho purchase of u site nnd the erection of a new High school was voted on and carried by a largo majority and the recent proceedings of tho board when tho old High BChool slto was selected as the location for the new High school. The grounds on which ho bases his reasons for appealing am us follows: That the decision ami order of said board of illrectom 111 the selection of mild hlto are In direct conflict with the terms and spirit of tho proposition suhmltted tlo clailng for tho purchaso of n site anil for the use of the old high school us it grade school, nnd in all other respects-, and that their conduct In so sclenting s.tld slto was unlawful and In error. Tluil at the time of the oassace nf said resolution and the making of said order and decision there wns and thero now Is no money In the treas.iry of said Independent school district belonging to tho sc'iool house fund, except tho proceeds of th bonds voted under tho proposition sub mitted ns aforesaid on the second Monday In March. 1900. That the site so selected by said board of directors Is 111 nil respects undesirable and unlit for the location of a school site; that It Is located in n deep valley, known us (ilen avenue, and at tho south end thereof. tlniH mnklni! blub bills to thn east, south nnd west, and neither airy nor sightly nor easy of access In Its tonography; that at the south end of said valley or glen, rising approximately fifty leot nbnvn the site so selected and within a very short distance therefrom, Is located u great reservoir of water, containing In amount about 4.0oi,0) gallons of water, accompanied with such hazard to said school and the lives of its attendants ns attends Its existence: that said slto is not central nor convenient for the use of suid district as a high school alto; that It Is not centrally located, as affiant verily believes, within tho Judg ment of said board as Is possible for them to locate It, that It was selected and the order and decision for Its location made In prejudice nnd as the result of passion on the part or sittd Hoard, ami its locution is not with the Interests of the district, and because of all the nb.ivo said board com mitted error In the selection of said site. Pursuant to tho ngrcotnent reached at the meeting Tuesday night the members of tho school board met yesterday nfternoon on the old High school grounds nnd looked tho situation over. They learned one thing, nnd that was that there wna considerably moro hill to bo graded than thoy had fig- urged on. Thero was moro or less Informal discussion on the ndvlsnhlllty of rescinding their action In selecting this location, in view of tho fact that Attorney Chambers had appealed, and It was suggested that tho board select the Street site on Fifth nvenuo between Third and Muffs Btrcets, which hnd been offered nt 5,u00. Ono of the members suggested thnt they cross the hill nnd examine the Turley property nt tho head of Willow avenue, which could bo pur chased for $7,f00, and a move was made there. This property has n frontage on Third street of 103 foot and on the gleu of 2S0 feet. Member Sargent was nnxtotm for tho board to select this site right then and thero, but on motion of .Member Hess It was decided to poatpono any further action until a meeting to bo held Friday night. Mem ber Swaino stated that under no circum stances would ho voto now for nny other slto than that of tho old High school grounds. Davis soils paint.
