IT IS UP TO THE JUDGE NOW
Mandamus Oaso Concluded and Question !
Takdn Under Advisement ,
DECISION IS LOOKED FOR ERE LONG
Litigation ItclTTi-c'ti City nml An-
llnrillii Over I'ltit HooU
Finally CoincN to
nn ICnil.
The hearing In the mandamus case of tht
city of Council Bluffs against City Assessoi
Hardln nnd County Auditor Innes wns com ,
pleted yesterday afternoon and suhmlttoi
to the court. Judge Thurncll took the mat ,
tcr under advisement and said ho wouK
hand It down ns soon as possible. A decls.
Ion Is looked for In a copulo of days.
The hearing , which was Interrupted Monday -
day owing to another case having been as <
signed for the afternoon of that day. win
resumed yesterday morning. Hardln wai
recalled to the stand and In the course ol
his evidence testified that he was able U
mnko Just as accurate nn assessment thli
year as ho did In 1897 without the pint book
Ho further Btnted that no "absolutely cor
rect" assessment was over made. On cross ,
examination ho was forced to admit thai
the law this year Is practically the same n :
when he made the last assessment nnd thai
the plat book which ho sold the county am
from which In the past ho bad made the as ,
sossmont , had been used by him for the Ins
eight years.
These plats ho waa also forced to admll
contained everything essential for making
the assessment except the deduction for rail
road right of way and roads. In his opin
ion the plate now owned by the county car
be completed and brought down to dut <
from the transfer books In the ofllco of tin
county auditor by a force of ton or twelve
men In thirty days. If , however , the rec
ords In the abstract ofllccs of the city an
used twenty-five mon can complete the worJ
In fifteen days. This testimony was broughl
out to show that It was not n "physlca
Impossibility" for the county auditor to sup
ply the assessor with the plat book as provided
(
vided by the code.
County Auditor Innce , on being rccallec
to the stand , tcBtlflcd that It would take sb
men at least twelve months to prepare tin
pint books In such stapo ns provided foi
In section 13G4 of the code. During hi *
testimony It dovclopad that the reason whj
It would tnko eo long to properly prepare
the plat book was because during the Incum
bency of Auditor Goulden for a space ol
six years the real estate conveyances hat
not been posted In the transfer books In the
office.
Colonel W. F. Baker , ex-chairman of the
Board of Supervisors , and Supervisors Bran
dos and Kerney were placed on the stand
to testify as to the purchase by the county
of the plat books from Assessor Hardln
They also testified to the fact that Hardln
agreed to use them as long as he was as
sessor. Judge Thornell , however , on this
point ruled that such an agreement on the
part of Hnrdln could not be held binding ,
ns Hardln could not enter Into a contract
that might bo opposed to public policy.
City Attorney Wndsworth was placed on
the stand by the defense to show that It
Is practicable for the county auditor to fur
nish the assessor with a list of names ol
all the holders of real estate In the city ,
He said that by using the books In his
( Wadswortb's ) nbstract office twelve mot
can prepare such a list within fifteen days ,
Judge Thornell , however , held that there
wns nothing to show that the county au
ditor would bo authorized In going outside
of the records In his office to furnish the
assessor with the information mentioned hi
section 1364 of tbe code.
In bis argument to the court the attorney
for Hardin Insisted that as Hardln hail
not been shown to be legally derelict In big
duty no mandamus should bo Issued as
against him , but as It had been admitted
that the county auditor had failed to fur
nish the plat book mentioned la the code n
mandamus should Isre against him. He
contended that the ca'e at bar was uot ono
of expediency , but one of law.
The attorneys for the city and county
on the other hand , cent nded that ns Har
dln had admitted that he was able to make
with the books at present In his posses
sion just as accurate nn assessment ns he
had made in 1S97 the mandamus should Is
sue against him , compelling him to proceed
nt once with tiie assessment for the tax
levy of 1899.

of something Impractical , something that IE
for special pupils , for the benefit of tbi
few rather than for the many. And yet f
right understanding of the relations of ar

erroneous conception of the subject.
"Every observing person will admit tha' '
our people are lamentably lacking In at
