The original judgment of the city
against the I X M. Hanking Co.. was
for sJ.V.MH), and the interest has accumu
lated until it would now amount to
between 5-7000 and SOIIO.
On this judgment the city has al
ready 820011 in cash, and this sale, with
the proceeds from the bank building
when it is sold, will more than pay the
face value of the city's judgment. At
torney .Mc.N'eny has already received
his fee for conducting the suit and the
city will come out about even 011 what
at llrst appeared to be a total loss of
S.V.'liO. Atone time the city adminis
tration seriously considered abandon
ing the'suit, and was on the point of
doing so. but upon the advice of Mr.
McXeny the suit was finally carried
on to a successful termination.
