Bchearing Soon , POINT SUPREME COURT OVERLOOKEl Cnnnolt nitiffnVnn Not Included Ir the Oicrntlon of the I.rerr of 188f niut the ConMltutlonnl I'oliit Iteiiulrr * Dcclnlon. City Attorney Wadsworth will at once ap ply to the supreme court for a rchearltif In the city warrant case of Phillips against need , City Treasurer , on the grounds thai the court erred when It decided that the ton- stltutlonatlty of the law was not Involve. : In the case. He will urge that the coun apparently , In handing down Its opinion overlooked the fact that the old law o ! 1&S8 , which had been adopted Into the codi of 1897 , was not applicable to Council Blurts this city not having been organized as t city ot the first class until 18S2. general s em- In 1888 the twenty-second bly passed two laws , one of which was appli cable to all the cities of the state , whlcl provided that all warrants should bo pali In the order of their presentation , from thi particular fund on which they wrra drawi and also expressly provided that these war rants could no longer be received In pay ment of taxes. The other , which , by tti terms , was to substantially place cities . .n t cash basis , was only applicable to cities or ganized In 1881 or prior thereto and provided - vided that each year's revenues should bi devoted to that year's current expenses This section of the code of 1888 wa a ; follows. 822. Appropriations. 22 G. A. , ch. Iv , see tlon 1 : All cities of the first class shal make tholr appropriations for all the differ cnt expenditures cf the city government fn the fiscal year at or before the beglnnlni thereof , nnd H shall be unlawful for th city council or any officer , agent or employ of the city to Issue nny warrant , enter Int any contract , or appropriate any money i : excess of the amount thus appropriated fo th © different expenses of the city durln the year for which said appropriation shal bo made , and any such city shall not appro prlate In the aggregate an amount In exces of Ito annual legally authorized revenue but nothing herein shall prevent mich cltle from anticipating their revenues for th year for which cuch appropriation wa made , or from bonding or refunding thel outstanding Indebtedness ; provided that thi section shall not apply to cities of the fin class organized slnco 1881. Ilovr It AUcctn Thin City. The code of 1897 adopted the cash basl principle ) for an the cities of the etate with out reference to the date ot their organlza tton. Council Bluffs , therefore , not bavin been organized until 1882 , the cash basl law was not applicable to It until 1897. Th district court held that warrants Issue * under the old law had to be paid In th order of their presentation and that th now law was unconstitutional , as It Im paired the rights of the holders ot the ol warrants. The supreme court held that th rights of the old warrant holders had no been Impaired , as at the time they teethe the warrants the cash basis law was I force in the city and the warrant holder had no right to comptaln of the enforcement mont of the law , apparently overlooking th fact that the cash basis law of 1888 dl not apply to this city. The opinion ot the supreme court on thi point Is as follows : I We have , then , this question to detei I mine : Must a city pay current expense from the revenues of the year In which the i were Incurred to the exclusion of othr ' valid prior Indebtedness , for which warranl have been Issued and been presented fr. payment and endorsed as unpaid for war , of funds ? U seems to bo considered that under th 1 law as It existed prior to the last codlflcn tlon the warrants were payable In the orde of their presentment. But It Is claimed b plaintiff that under the code of 1S97 a dlffeii ont rule prevails , and that now the currer expenses of a municipality must first bo pal out of Its current Income before any part ( ' ald tncomo can be devoted to the cancclln tlon of prior Indebtedness. Our attention I called to certain provisions of thf statute. ( I'rovlHlonn ot the Mtntntr. Subd. 16 , section 668 , Code of 1897 , Is a i follows ; "In cities of the flrst class th , council shall make the appropriation for a the different expenditures of the city gov crnmcnt for each fiscal year nt or before th beginning thereof , and It shall bo unlawf\ \ I for it or any officer , agent or employe of t city to Issue any warrant , enter Into an contract or appropriate any money In ex cess of the amount thus appropriated , fc the different expenses of the cltv during th year for which said appropriation shall t made. Any city shall not appropriate I the aggregate an amount In excess of II annually legally authorized revenue ; bi nothing herein shall prevent said cities froi anticipating their revenues for the year fc which such appropriation Is made , e froi bonding or refunding their outstanding In debtednees , * * " ' Section S98 la In these words : "Loan I may be negotiated or warrants Issued by an municipal corporation In anticipation of It revenues for the fiscal year In which sue loans are negotiated or warrants Issued , bt the aggregate amount of such loans and wat I rants shall not exceed the estimated rove i nues of such corporations for the fund o I purpose for which the taxes are to bo col | lected for such fiscal year. " t The manifest object of these provisions I i to place municipal corporations upon a cas - basis and prevent the accumulation of sue a floating Indebtedness as appears In tbl I case. 1 In order to facilitate this return to a cash paying system of cities that were burdenc with a floating debt nt the time of the ador tlon of the code It Is provided by section 9f. of the code that cities and towns may re fund such Indebtedness and Issue bond therefor. Such section , it Is true , la m made obligatory upon municipalities , bi the power Is given to do no. In thus sookln to compel the payment by municipalities ( current expenses from current funds tli General Assembly seemed to follow the ac tlon ot other states In this respect. Under the Old Iniv. Wo do not understand that counsel eorl ously questions this construction , but It I assorted on behalf of the appellee that bee tlnn CCO of the code was In force when th older warrants , for which a preference I clamed , were Issued and Its provisions ton part of the contract with the warrant hold ers. ers.This latter section relates to the duties t treasurers of municipal corporations. By 11 terms It Is provided that warrants whe- preaented to the treasurer. If not paid fc want of fundu , shall be endorsed by that off ) cer with the date of presentation ; that h shall keep a record thereof and that "a such warrants shall be paid In the order c their presentation. " Section C60 of the code , and what U no mbdlvlslon 1C of section C6S , were enactf originally by the same general assembly The flrat forma part of chapter 111 and th other of chapter Iv of the lawu of th Twenty-second general assembly , Bet were In force when the warrants were la sued , for which defendant claims a prefer onto ot payment. We may for the present concede that * ec tlon 660 makes the warrant holder a pre ferred creditor. But It seems clear that 111 provisions of pectton 68S also entered Int the contract with the creditor and perhar It might bo better said that ho assume such relation subject to Its tenni. To gt\ orcc nnd effect , as we undoubtedly should , o both of thceo statutes , wo must hold that be preference given to warrant holders bi llion A60 applies only ap between warrants sued In any given year. * * U'e do not perceive that nny constitutional uestlon Is Involved In thp cnno at bar , tough counsel devotes no little attention to < e discussion of the right of the general M mbly to Impalt the obligation of the ontracts of the earlier warrant holders , he cnso Is presented here as though sub- Ivlslon 16 , section 668. was enacted after * ie creditors' rights had accrued under sec- > on CGO. This we have seen Is not the case. II of the warrants for payment ( of whlchl t fondant seeks to retain the funds in his ands were Issued prior to 189S , and It Is lantfest from what we have said that the elders thereof have no claim upon the rcv- nues of that year , nt least until after cur- ent debts have been paid. City Attorney Wadsworth feels confident hat the supreme court will grant a rchear- ng of the case , as the > overnight , he says , s BO apparent , hut whether the court will 'told that the new law IB unconstitutional s another matter , and unlew it does the ullng that the current revenues must bo 'cvoted to paying the warrants drawn for jurrcnt expenses will not bo affected.
