The opinion of Judge Towncr In the null
of J. J. Shea against the city of Council
Blulfii was received here yesterday after
noon. Contrary to the Inferences drawn
from the Judge's loiter to Hnrl A. McCabe ,
the city s attorneys In the case , the opinion
U not uenrlr as fnvornhlo to tha city as had
been expected He Undo that the general
city bonds and the Intersection , sewer ,
grading and paving bonds constitute an In
debtedness of the city within the rn anlnK
of ths oonRtltutlon and that of these bonds
$107,186 $ Uavu beun Issued In oxceiu of the
conatltutlonaJ limit. He holds , however ,
that _ nil the holders of such bonds should
have been made party defendants and for
that reason refuses to decide as to the
validity of these bonds. He IB willing to
grant Shea nn Injunction restraining the
city from Issuing any further such bonds or
from levying nny tax to pay for same.
The opinion in substance Is at , follows
This action IB brought by the plaintiff ns a
citizen and taxpayer for himself nnd other
taxpavcrs against the city of Council Bluffs ,
nlleKlng that the city la Indebted largely
In excess of the constitutional limit In vari
ous bonds warrants and other evldunces of
Indebtedness , and asklmj
First That the court determine what part
of such Indebtedness IB in excess of such
constitutional limit.
Second That the said defendant city and
Its ofllcors be restialned from paying any
of such indebtedness
Third That sold city be enjoined from
levying or collecting any tax or p-jy nny
part of such alleged Illegal Indebtedness ,
or from Issuing any new evidences of In
debtedness therefor
The defendants deny that any bonds or
warrants have been Issued In excess of the
constitutional limit , and deny that any Ille
gal ( tnxi s have 'hewn ' or nro about to b J
levied to discharge any Illegal obligation.
KxcCSft IlOlllIn iNNIIfll.
The value of the taxable property of Coun
cil Bluffs in December , 1SH7. was Jl , 114,216.
Llve per cent of thls valuation would bo
$ . . . .0714 The total outstanding obligations
of the city June 1 , 1S9S , amounted to ? ( jOO -
OV50 The cash balance In the treasury
nmountod to $123,142 73. The net city debt
was $476,926 7o.
It is manifest that If the obligations of
the city thus outstanding are all "Inrtebtml-
nrsa" within the meaning of tlio constitu
tional 'Inhibition ' the city has largely ex
ceeded the limit It will be the duty of the
court. Insofar as It can bo done , to tlrst de-
tormlno what part or parts of such obliga
tions constitute such Indebtedness.
In the case nt bar on June 1 , 1S9S , there
wcro genual fund warrants outstanding to
the amount ot SM6-n9 There was $22.206
cash In the general fund , reducing the
amount to $184,233 This general fund is
derived from a 10 mill tax levy on all the
property In the city subject to taxation ,
and from the proceeds of licenses , fines , etc
It Is agreed that all genwral fund warrants
outstanding wcro Issued to pay the current
ordinary nnd necessary running oxpenbes of
the city Thoie Is nothing In the evidence
before the court that would lend to the
conclusion that such outstanding warrants
were not within the limits of the city's
current revenues It follows that In detei-
inlnlng the city's Indebtedness within the
meaning of the constitutional Inhibition the
general fund warrants outstanding are not
to tie Included
H Is agieed that the city Intends to pay
such general bonds by the levy and collec
tion each year of a bond nnd Intel est tax
In form they are unconditional promises
to pay and In effect absolute evidences of
Indebtedness It is held that all such gen
eral city bonds outstanding constitute an
Indebtedness of the city within the mean-
R of the constitutional inhibition
It is agieed that the city has In the past
ind will In the future levy a 5 mill tax
inder a contract to that effect for the pay-
nent of the. water supply furnished to said
city , nnd that the warrants now outstanding
vcro Issued for the payment of the amount
lue bald water company under Its said con
tact from the fund collected by the levy
and collection of the said 5-mllI tax It Is
agreed that this has been done "as pro-
Ided by law ' Under the agreement of
proof It IB not shown that the water fund
warrants outstanding constitute an Indebt
edness of the city within the meaning ot
.he constitutional limitation.
Suct'lnl AfiMi'NKitirntM Not Iiicluilfil.
It appearing that the special assessment
! > ends outstanding will bo paid In full from
[ he special assessment fund , It Is hold
lhat such bonds do not constitute an In-
lobtednoss within the meaning of the con
stitutional provision
It IH agreed that as to the Intersection
grading , hewer nnd paving bonds outstanding
Lho defendant city has levied and will con-
: lnuo to levy a special tax under the pto-
vlslon , and within the limits of the law ,
upon all the taxable property of the city ,
It Is further agreed that such special tax
will bo sulllclent to pay said otitstandliiR
bonds , principal and Interest , ns they ma
ture It will bo Been that the bonds out
standing of this character wore issued
strictly within the provisions of the law ,
The Interesting nnd Important question tc
bo determined In whether the Issuance ol
such bonds Is the creation of nn indebted
ness within the meaning of the constltu-
It Is urged that this class of obligations
Is In principle like special assessment bonds
This contention cannot bo sustained The
dlffoienceH nro many between these classes
In this clans the obligation and the benelll
Is not Individual , but general , not for the
citizen , hut for the city In the case al
bar under the bonds outstanding , the city
Is his debtor , not the property of the dis
trict. not the abutting property owners II
f < illo\\n then that all Intersection bonds ol
the defendant city outstanding must bt con-
sldrrrd its debts within the moaning of the
- , , ,
As n result of these holdings it will hi
seen that In the determination of the
amount of the city's outstanding Indebted'
nnss within the moaning of the constitu
tional limitation , the general fund warrants
the water and special fund warrants , am
the spiH'lal aHbCBsmont senvor paving am
grading bonds are to bo excluded Thei geii'
oral city bonds and the Intersection gradlnt
and paving bonds are held to constitute ai
Indebtedness of the city within the meaii'
Ing of the constitution The amount o
such bonds outstanding Is $327,900. or $107. '
iSfi In excess of the amount authorized bj
the constitution.
llonilliiililrrN Hate IllKlilH.
The defendant alleges that the plalntlf
Is not entitled to the relief demanded fo ;
the reason that the outstanding bondhold
era are not made parties to the suit 1
would seem clear that in tlio case at bu
the owners of the bonds are nsceseary par
ties , without whose * presence a complete de
termination or settlement of the question n
to the validity of such bonds cannot b
made
The plaintiff claims that the present cab
comes within the exception ttutvd In bet
linn 34C1. that the quc-atloii U one of eommo !
01 general Intercut , to ninny poisons th
bondholder * and that they are no nunier
oiib that It U Impracticable lo bring OUT
all before the' court In this cane- however
not even onu t > inglc Ix-ndlr Mer is before th
eourt , e tlier to dcfcnid bis Imlivllual righter
or to nj > jcar ua the Individual rejireseiitu
tire of others Clearly then there hns not
been such a allowing made aa will place this |
case under the exception provided la the
statute
The court certainly cannot render a decree -
cree herein declaring outstanding bonds
Invalid without directly prejudicing the
rights of the owners of such bonds Neither
csn ho soyo the rights of the bondholders ,
for no declaration of Ihe Inrnlldlt ) of theue
oonds and no order forblddlDg their pay
ment eati be made and tbo eourt at the
* nmc time In any manner ' save thelt
rlghtfc' It follows that no decree In the
case at l > ar can be ordorcd affecting the
validity of thn oiiutntullng bonds foi the |
ronaon that the bondholders are necessary j
nartlcs to sue b action , and for this reason
the court refuses to make such order
The defendant alleges that the property
ot defendant cltj lu nssebsad at only onc-
thltd Its actual T lue , and that Ita Indebt
edness has at no tlmo exceeded 5 per cent
of the actual and real value of the property
of the city H Is sumclent answer to this
contention to recall the languige of the
constitutional provision According to its
forms the real value Is not the basis , but
Its value "by the last state and county tax ,
lists previous to the Incurring of smh In
debtedness " I
Tor the reasons herein stated It Is Im
possible for the court to determine what
particular bondu outstanding have bee-n
Issued In excess of the constitutional limit ,
or foi the court to Issue an order rffltinln-
Ing the city from paying such Indebtedness.
Such relief IB therefor * donled.
An order and decree will be granted at
nlalntlff's option enjoining the defendant
city from Issuing any further general city
bonds and further Intersection sswor , grad
ing or paving bonds , or other ovldemces of
surli Indebtedness and from levying any
tax to pay for same. All other relief asked
Is denied.

The nttorney general today answered the
point raised n fun days ago bv Governor
Shaw as to whether building and loan con
cerns may Issue stock In "series , " the nc-
coiintH of which may bo kept separate , by
replying In the negative. In brief , ho' holds
that building nnd loan or havings nnd loan
associations nro unauthorized hy law to Is
sue stock In dllfnrent scries , the profits , the
losses and expenses of each scrim being
kept separate and shared In only by the
members of that series and not by the mem
bers of another scries The decision Is
based on the ground that such n holding
would create an unoquil contribution to the
expenses of the association , which a mutual
company cannot demand.
Hut the attorney general also holds that
such companies may legally issue stock at
different dates , payable In such sums at
each Installment as the articles of incor
poration authorl/e. providing that every
dollar paid in by the shareholders shall re
ceive Its pro rata share of the profits of
the entire association , be chargeable with Its

The end In the argument on the part of
railroads before the state executive council
was reached this morning ; The council will
now proceed to discuss the adjustment of

the members of the council , while realizing
the importance of their situation , are de
termined to do justice to all parties , not
only the people ot the state , but to the
property which Is Involved The position
In all likelihood will bo that the gross
earnings will to a considerable extent bo
the basis ot their decision as to the ns-
soHiiont. .

tickled with Scott's Emul
