A meeting of the city council was
held in the office of the county judge
Saturday night. The principal
business transacted was the esti
mating of the city's expenses for
the coming fiscal year and the ap
pointment of committees. The
following' is the estimate of ex
penses: Salary, $2,400; electric
lijjht, $2,000; (ire fund, $700: streets,
bridges, culverts, etc., $1,000; gen
eral expensca including payment on
floating indebtedness, $3,500; water
hydrant rental, $3,230; waterworks
judgment $3,400. The total amount
estimated is $1G,230. The $2,000
for electric light is included in the
estimate in accordance with a reso
lution passed by the council several
months ago to the effect that they
would make the five mill levy
which they arc legally entitled to
do so that the city would be in a
position to accept a proposition if
it was made and not be compelled
to wait another twelve mouths.
The committees appointed were
as follows: Judiciary, Peterson,
Lloyd and Isenhart; finance. Id
dings, Wcingand and Sullivan;
claims. Wcingand, Sullivan, Lloyd;
sidewalks and bridges, Sullivan,
Lloyd and Iddiugs; police, Iddiugn,
Wcingand and Peterson; streets
and alleys, Wcingand, Sullivan and
Iddings; bills, Lloyd, Isenhart and
Wcingand; public privileges and
elections, Sullivan, Isenhart and
Peterson; fire, Isenhart, Peterson
and Lloyd; water, Iddings. Peter
son and Isenhart.
Councilman Isenhart was elected
president of the council for the cn-i
uing year,
District Court.
An adjourned term ol the March
term ot court was held Saturday.
Judge Grimes heard most of the
cases but the case of the Valley
Land and Cattle Co. vs H. B. Read
was up before Judge Sullivan. The
vidence in this case was taken at
the term of court held in McPher-
8on county but the arguments were
made here. Judge Sullivan did
not puss upon the law points but
tookc the matter under advise
ment. Judge Sullivan slso heard
the motions for a new trial in the
Austin Grader Co. vs W. M. Hin
man case and the ligan-Beer case.
He over-ruled the motions in both
instances. It is probable that a
settlement will now be made in the
former case but the latter will be
appealed to the supreme court.
udge Grimes granted a decree of
divorce in the case of Mattic
Lomax vs Win. Lomax and gave
the. plaintiff the custody of the
child. The rest of the cases were
chiefly foreclosures. The term was
adjourned until June 25th.
