Story street. Mayof Jcqnlngs declared hla
Intention of vetoing Jhe ordinance.
When the ordinance was brought up for
passage Alderman Lougr moved to lay It
on tho table, but tho motion wns defeated
by tho votes of Aldermen Hoycr, Brown,
Clark, Ruber and Loyett. Then Alder
man Brown moved the passage of the meas
ure and the motion carried with the same
votes thai defeated Ujrlng It on the table.
In submitting the-' ordjoance, tho repre
sentative of the brewing company stated
that It was their Intention to erect a throe
story building, such as would be a credit
to the city, hut t lit It could not do so with
out the threo additional feet. Alderman'
Boyer, after tho ordinance passed, made a
motion to the effect that tho mayor be re
quested to withhold his signature from It
until the brewing company had given deft
nllo assurance that It 'would carry out Its
promlac,
"There will be no trouble about me with
holding my signature," remarked Mayor
Jennings. This statement was greeted with
applause from the lobby and tho aldermen
opposed to the ordinance.
Alderman lloyer prratstd In his motion
and was opposed by Aldermen Lougce and
McDonald, both of whom stated they
thought It rather lata In tho day to begin
Imposing conditions, after passing tho or
dinance. Alderman Clark, who voted for
the ordinance, wanted Boycr's motion
passed. Hu said: "It will put the alder
men on record who voted for the ordinance."
In order to end the discussion Mayor Jen
nings put tho motion and 11 carried by the
same votes that passed tho ordinance.

for tho fire department was cut $1,000 from

Lovett protested. V
Chief Temploton nddrubaed (ho council
and showed t hut one man would have to be
dropped from tho department unless tho

Property Owner HrrU tti Avoid the

Tho right of F. M. Cunningham, tax fer
ret to search out and report property al
leged to have been omitted from assessment
and taxation under his contract with the
Board of County Supervisors, was argued
before Judge Wheeler In tho district court
yesterday. It came before tho court In
the matter of the appeals of Mrs, Julia B.
Kecllne and August llerethelm, guardian
of J. 1). Kecllne, from the findings of County
Treasurer Arnd, who assciscd Mrs. Kecllne
1380.67 and August Bereshelm $3,'J01. 15 back
taxes on the reports filed by Cunningham.
In Mrs. Kccllne's case the statutory penalty
ot $2'J2.S3 was also taxed up against her,
and In the case of August Bcreshclm
$t,0?3.72 was the amount of the penalty
taxed against him. Judge Wheeler took his
decision under advisement.
On behalf of tho appellants It was con
tended that the contract with Cunningham
was wholly void, illegal and contrary to
public policy and was also ultra vires of tht
power of the Board of County Supervisors
and further was void as being contrary to
the law of champerty, maintenance and
barratry. It wan also alleged that Cun
ningham bud failed to comply with any
of thn provisions of chapter JO of tho acts
of tho Twenty-eighth general assembly and
this In Itself inailo the contract null and
void.
Tho appellants alro attacked tho right ot
tho county treasurer to entertain the com
plaints tiled by Cunningham or to make
any Inquiry or Investigation us to taxes on
property alleged to have been omitted from
usscjsmcnt. It was further contended that
section 1371 of tho code, under which 'he
search for omitted taxable property has
been carried on by Cunningham, was not
retrospective, and that, therefore, tho
county treasurer had no authority to assess
the appellants for property alleged to havo
been omitted from taxation for the years
prior to 1901.
Cross-pet itlons and answers In both cases
were filed yesterday by tho county treas
urer, In which he asks for Judgment for tho
amount assessed by him and tho statutory
penalty.

a tax to raise $500 with which to build a
new school house. The tax wns voted at
the March cloctlon of 18W and tho tax
