The chief difficulty wtth th C . courts In passing upon the usury questio n is that they do not understand the worlc ' - jugs of building associations and In all Ut long line of decisions the courts have nc I toUched UPOU one aide of the question. Pen t aitties do not make contracts usurious , b r the courts may refuse to enforce then 1. Courts will apply all payments of interec 1.l l and penalties on the principal , but do nc I give credit for the dividends allowed. / Mr. Kennedy defied any court to lo' a' that any contract ma(1e by a'bulldlng assc I- elation properly conducted was usurious , Ic r . no one can tell by the contract the rat 0 . fe pf interest the borrower is required to pa r Further , a member of these associations S ' , larretl froni raising the question of uccur : for as a member he borrows from himse and he cannot go into coUrt with one ban % c clean and one unclean and ask to he r I lieveil from a lart of lcIs contract.

A big batch of routine a nd miner business was put out of the w ay , little of which was of general tinpo p ortance. Probably the matter of the most general l mpdrtanco was the recommitment of the m atter of quitclaimlng a number of lots t o the Union PacifIc for union depot pur- p oses. The special committee which is con- s itloring this as well as a settlement with t he Union Pacific and other railroads for v iaduct repairs naked for such action , as t he Union Pacific has as yet taken no steps t oward the construction of the union depot , w hich Is to be erected upon the lots the r oad wants deeded to it. Tue council allowed tue bill of 0. S. Kelly o f 61.O for the use ot , a street sweeping m achine. In this connection , however , it w as declared that the hoard of Public \ Vorka limb never been authorized to employ t he machine and a recommendation was m ade that further use of the machine be d iscontinued and the street sweeping be cl one by clay labor. In title way it is he- hi oved that the squatible between the coon- c ii and the board over the machine is fl ntilly buried. Ten additional property owners In the S ixth ward , icear Thirtieth and Pinkney s treets , put in claims for damages as a re- s uit of the troublesome flood of July 6. The c laims aggregated $4,725. They were re- t erred to the city attorney. In connection w ith this same matter the special cornw m ittee to which it was referred reported t hat the city should take steps to prevent a r ecurrence of any such flood , but did not r eQommeud any solution of the difficulty. For Cutting lVecdM. A resolution to authorize the Board at P ublic Works to expend an additional 2OO t o cut weeds along sidewalks was passed. A n appropriation of $200 for this purpose b us already beca expended. This was cm p ioyctI in clearing the walks along the main t horoughfares of the city. Councilman Stubt m ade a vigorous demand tice the First ward should be apportioned its due share of t he appropriation , but the matter of oxh p ending the new appropriation was finally l eft to the Board of Public Works. A batch of resolutions locating gas lights were passed despite the fact that the fund it I e xhausted. Yet , as President l3ingham remarked - marked , 'the council can pass a million 01 : t hese resolutiona but they will be vetoed b P t he mayor. " The recommendation of the Advisory board I t o condemn at certain valuation property r f or the Southwest boulevard was referred I t o the committee on street improvements.
