WAITING FOR JUDGE GREEN'S ' DICISIDN MICII'N Injiiiiotlon Suit Tie * Up the Mutter for the Time Wlmt llio Outcome of the Affair May IU- . Yesterday , for the first tlmo In moro than ton jcnrs , men In the employ of the city failed to get their warrants cashed when they presented them to F. T. True , who holds the official position of finance -clerk of the council and the private position ot chief warrant bujcr of the cltj' . The Citizens' State bank , the only other agency In the city where a business of purchasing warrants for the accommodation ot the holdera has been conducted , nlso refused to accept the war rants at any price. All members of the po- llco force , flro department nnd other city employee vvcro left without the anticipated cash. This Is the fruit of J. J Shea's application for a general restraining order taking from the city the power to Issue any moro warrants jor other evidences of Indebtedness. The de- 'clslon ' of Judge Green In the Shea suit Is gen erally anticipated as being favorable to the cltj' . If tbo ! decision should be favorable to the maintenance of the suit long nnd possi bly costly litigation will likely be necessary Ifo [ collect the outstanding warrants. In any I event It will bo necessary to put the war- iranlu ! In Judgment. With the amount now j outstanding nnd the others that must be Is ! sued until the close of the fiscal year , March 1 , the total will aggregate about $190,000. j Putting this Into judgment will Involve n [ | Midden and heavy Increase In the rate of 'taxation To extinguish such a judgment It would bo necessary to levy n tnof E per cent on the present valuation , or moro than doublu the present amount that Is pild for all purposes , state , county and cltj- . Major Carson and the heads of the city departments were considerably disturbed by , the refusal of the warrant bujers to take thu warrants , but vvcro satisfied that no seri ous results would follow , for the reason that they believe the suspension of payment Is only tempouirj and will be resumed within a few days. "There are 25,000 people behind thcbo warrants , " sajs the mayor , "and the laws do not contemplate the breaking up of city governments. At no time In the history of the city has the financial condition really been better than It Is now and there Is no reason to doubt that every dollar of these warrants nnd all of the remainder of the jcltj'ti 1 Indebtedness will bo paid. " "Tho break In the market will not be the means of causing decline In the price of the warrants so far is I am concerned , " sajs F. , T. True. "If the warrants are not worth 95 ! ' cents they are not worth anything , and I will not offer n cent less than that price. However. I will not buy any more until the matter Is definitely settled one way or the other. I have advised all of the men who ralletl on mo today to hold their warrants until after the 10th. Wo should hear from Judge Green bji that time and will know what to expect. " CHANGES IN THE LAW. V good deal of the apprehension Is due to thu Uiangus mailo In governing cities nnd towns by the new code. The p'ovlslon thnt causes the anxletj" requires the city council at the beginning of each fiscal year to make nn estimate of the oxpeiibcs of each depart ment and to make an appropriation covering the amount. Warrants may bo issued antic ipating this an.mint , but not a dollar can bo Issued beyond the amount specified. It nlso becomes unlawful to transfer money from one fund to help out another. If there should bo a surplus In nriy fund It cannot be Ubed to clear up a deficiency In another , as baa been done heretofore. This section , 2CG of the code , was the subject of careful scrutiny yesterday. It reads : In cities of the first clasq the council shall make the appropriation for all the different expenditures of the cltj' goveinincnt for t ch fiscal year at or before the. beginning thereof , and It shall be unlawful tor It or any oltlccr , agent or employe of the city to Itsue- any warrant enter into anj- contract , or appropriate any monejin exee.ss of thu amount thus appropriated , for the different expenses of the cltj' , during- the year for inhlch said appropriation shall be made. Any such cltj- shall not appropriate , in tne nggrfnatp. an amount In excess of Its an nual lesrnlly nuthoilzcd revenue : but noth ing heicln shnll prevent such cities from an ticipating their revenues for the year for vvhlrh biich apjiroicrlntlon Is madeor from bonding or refunding their outstanding In debtedness. T.ie councils of such titles shall advertise In at least IJAO newspapers pub lished In said cities for three ivcoles , two Insertions for each week , for bids for fur- nlshlnc all supplies of every kind for the several departments of the city , not required to be advertised for bj- the Board of Public Works ; said advertisements to be published two wcekB before the beginning of each fiscal year.

The people of Council Bluffs ye-sterday sig nified their approval of the action of the city council In granting a fifty-year fran chise to the Lake Manawa Hallway companj- .

The election wan one of the most quiet and orderlji ever held In the city. The vote was also the lightest recorded within a quarter of a century. Out of a total regis tration of over 4,000 but 1.C30 votes were cast. There was no organized opposition to the franchise In any of the wards. Thirteen votes wore- thrown out of the First precinct of the Sixth ward and five in the First prectact of the Fifth on account of moot glaringly defective marking , and In many of the other wards many were rejected for stupid slips. In the First waid. where the regis tration exceeds 1,200 , but 325 votes wcro cast. It was In tula ward where the greatest opposition was e xpected , for the reason that the majority of the men who had been fightIng - Ing the motor companies llve < l there , but the count showed that S22 voted for the llfty-jcar franchise and 103 against it.

Ho expressed his opinion that not much will be accomplished 'by ' the approachIng - Ing session of congre-s , particularly regarding the currency question. "There is a po , slblllty , " he said , "that the house may take some action regarding the currency providing the president sends a mccago recommending the Tetlrcment of the greenbacks and the conversion of non-Interest 'bearing ' government notes Into gold Interest 'bearing ' securities. Should the president do this , such a measure would loubtles pass the house , but In no event would It pass tht senate , and I do not believe It will be at tempted. " Asked his opinion of the fate of the Mor gan resolution , he said : "everything depends on public sentiment. If public feeling re mains dormant , the resolution will not be acted upon ; but If the public makes a strong demand , then the resolution will be taken up nnd passed under a rule limiting debate.

( Special. ) Al though this beautiful little city Is chiefly famous for being the center of the fruit In dustry of southwestern Iowa and for Its splendid apple carnivals , and preparations nro being mailo for the production of an apple carnival at the Transmlsslfcelppl exposition next jear , jet ono of the most conspicuous features of the city Is the State Institution for the Tceblo Minded located here. Thla Institution stands out conspicuously In the line of nctlvo development , liming continu ously made j early Improvements until It may veritably be called "tho city on the hill" with a population of more than SCO souls. Since the destruction by flro of the main , or admln.etratho building , a jear ago In August , It has been one uninterrupted scene of activity In rebuilding The fire was not only a loss of moro than $123,000 to the state , but an cmbarraFstucnt In the care and comfort of Its 700 helpless wards , sheltered and administered to In this , ono of the state's joungest but moat deserving charities. Iowa , noted for Its liberal and progressive spirit , In this time of peril of ono of Its Institutions , maintained Its honor. The executive council promptly met the exigencies of the situation and aproprlated $ 10,000 to begin reconstruc tion of the building and the special session of the legislature generously followed with an appropriation of over J70.000 to complete the work , now soon to bq icalbed. , V new electrical powcl houoo with the most efficient types of machinery will soon constitute a modern plftut worthy the cause for which It is instilled Prom th'a ' center all the power for mechanical purposes will bo generated nnd transmitted to the various placet , requiring Its forcd , pumps , laundry , Induotrlal department , etc. A now water plant Is also being Inaugurated.

Probably the most Important resolution to bo coiihldcred by the National Live Stock exchange at the convention to be held Ici this city December 3 Is In relation to the return pans system now Inoguc of Issuing return passes to llvo stock shippers who come to market their llvo Btoclj. In cabo of alleged abuse of the privilege by the sale of these passes the Western Passen ger association has notified sluroers that after a certain clato the practice of Issuing passes will bo discontinued. To a\ert this move timely action Is proposed cci the fart of the National Llvo Stock exchange with a view to assisting In removing the cause of com plaint. Another reobon assigned for the with drawal of the return PIES privilege is Uio ap plication of the Kansas law both In Kaunas and Nebraska , which It Is asserted compels the railways to accept overloaded cars of li\e stock , thus necessitating extra attention for the prolectlcci of the railway calm ! depart ments against death losses. The resolution Is as follows : Whoirns , The National Il\p Stock ex- chnngre represents one or the larpost souicrs of freight earnings to western railroads , nnd our Interests nro largely mutual , und , Whereas , We regard the business con- clucted by ticket brokers us unnocebsiry to nubile welfare nnd scrlouslv elemor.illzlnir to the legitimate revenue of rallrondj ; be it Resolved , That this association does hereby urge on the senate of the United States and the hoube of leprewntfUlve'B the prompt enactment of laws whose object shall be to suppress the practice of ticket scalping nnd conllnc the sale of railroad tickets to the pioperly authorized agents of the transpor tation companies , together with suitable provision for the redemption by such roads of umibed tickets or portions of tickets pre sented for that purpose by the oilglnal pur chaser.
