KNOTTY OUESTION COMES UP Shall OuUUnding Warrants or Thoss for Current Ezpanaoi Be Paid First ? PAPERS IN SECOND TEST SUIT ARE FILED murrer , Ciiiiteiullnu tlmt Ont- MnnclltiKVnrrnnN ( Slmulcl TnUe I'roeoilriiur. The papers In the second teat suit brought bv the cltv with a view to have thn courts determine whether the outstanding war rants or the warrants Issued for the current expenses of the municipality shall bo paid flrat , were filed In the district court yester day. As In the former cone N C Phillips , the city clerk , appears as the plaintiff , and W. U. need , the city treasurer , as defendant In the former case it will be iremembered Judge Smith held that the outstanding war rants Issued under the old law should be paid first In the order of their presentation , and that the now law wns unconstitutional as It Impaired the rights of the holders of the old warrants. The supreme court , however - over , held that the rights of the old war rant holders had not been Impaired as at the time they took the warrants , the cash basis law of 1S88 was In force In the city , and the warrant holders had no right to complain of the enforcement of the law. The supreme court overlooked the fact that the cash basis law of 1SS8 did not apply to Council Bluffs , this city not having been organized as a city of the first class until 1S82. The law In question was made applicable only to cities organized In 18S1 or prior thereto The at tention of the supreme court was called to this apparent oversight on Its part and that body subsequently withdrew Its opinion , leaving the very question that the city was anxious to have settled undecided. With the question unsettled City Treasurer Reed de clined to pay either the old or now warrants , nnd In consequence nearly $100,000 has accu mulated In the city's treasury while the city Is being forced to pay Interest on both old and curren warrants It Is In order that this money may be paid out that the city brings this suit. Suit HrniiKlit nil Two AVnrrnntM. Suit Is brought in this Instance on two warrants , one being a water fund warrant for | 23 , Issued March 1 , 1809 , and the other a general fund warrant for $2 25 , Issued April 11 , 1819. It la contended that there are ample funds In the hands of the city treas urer to pay both warrants sued on , but that ho declines to pay because there are out standing warrants against the same funds still unpaid which were Issued previous to the fiscal years In which the warrants sued on were drawn. The court Is asked to Issue a writ of mandamus compelling the city treasurer to paj these warrants , forming the basis of the action. City Attorney Wadsworth , who appears for the city treasurer , filed a demurrer In which it Is contended that the outstanding war rants should take precedence of the war rants Issued for current expenses. The demurrer sets up that the warrants sued on In this action was issued for current , ordinary and nccetsaij e.xpcnses of the city contracted since October 1 , 1897 ; that the warrants outstanding for current and ordi nary expenses of the city" previous to Octo ber 1 , 1897 , weio within the limit of the amount of revenue received for such pur poses during 1S9G and 1897 ; that these latter warrants were previous to October , 1897 , presented for payment and stamped "not paid for want of funds. " The demurrer further sets up that the law required no appropriation previous to October 1 , 1897 , to bo made by the city council for any of the expenses of 1S9B or 1S97 , there being a tavlng clause In section 822 of the Revised Code of Iowa of 18SS , especially excepting this clt } , which Is a city of the first class , organized under the general incorporation laws ot the state of Iowa since 1881. Also that Slid water fund warrants amounting to $15ldO wore Issued for current , ordinary and necessary expenses of the city previous to October 1 , 1897 , and wore issued in pursuance to a contract thereto made between the city and the water works company It Is further claimed that notwithstanding the fact that the supreme court In the case of Phillips against Reed has held that the appropriated ordinances nnd the section of the Code of 1897 governing the same , pledge the receipts of each respective > cnr to the payment of warrants drawn In such jears for the current , ordinary and necessary expenses of such jcars , the same cannot appl > to the $15,150 in water fund warrants and $107,783 08 in general fund warrants Issused previous to October , 1807 , when paragraph 16 of section 008 of the Code of 1897 was not In force as to the cUv of Council Dlulfs. j I Again , that by the provisions of sections ! 720 of the Revised Code of 1SSS , It was the duty of the city treasurer to use the money now on hand In the water nnd general funds Insofar as possible to the payment and liquidation of the water fund warrants and general fund warrants Issued previous to October 1 , 1897 , that by the provisions of the law In force previous to October , 1807 , and under which law the old outstanding warrants were Issued the holders of eald warrants have the right to demand and the city treasurer hat , no right to refuse the pavmont of the money now in his hands belonging to the respective funds to the liquidation und payment of said warrants in the order In which the same were pre sented to the treasurer and marked "not paid for want of funds" Further , that Insofar as the Code of 1897 provides that current revenues shull bo used to pay the current expenses to the ex clusion of the payment of unpaid registered warrantB Issued and rcgisteied previous to October 1 , 1897 , the same Is unconstitutional and void for the reason ( hat It Impairs the obligations of contract and Is contrary to section 21 of the constitution of the state of Iowa , which piovldes that 'no law im pairing the obligations of contracts shall ever be passed , " that all warrants now out standing that wore Issued and registered as provided 1 > y law previous to October 1 , 1897 , together with the law then In force , consti tuted n contract between the warrant hold ers and tbo city , an essential element in which contract being that said warrants should bo paid b > the city In the order In which thej had been presented In conclusion , the demurrer sets up that the treasurer Is obliged to use the money now In hla hands belonging to the respective funds Insofar as the same will suffice , to the payment of the old outstanding warrants and for this reason cannot legally USD Jhe money for tbo payment of the warrants de manded to be paid by the plaintiff In this action , Slicu'n Intervention. As soon aa the papers vvcro filed J. J. Shea Jumped in with a petition of Inter vention , In which ho attacks the validity of the warrants sued on und asks the court to have them declared void and ordered tun- celed. In his petition Shea makes the fol lowing allegations. "Thai at the time of the Issuance of the warrants sued on. to-wit April 11 , isy > . Council muffs was Indebted in un amount large ! ) in excess of & per cent of the value * of the taxable propcrtv of the city , as allow n by thu last state and county tux lUt , and was In fact Indebted In the sum total of $ < 64fifil 87 , being more than $200,000 In ex cess of tlio amount fixed by the constitution of the state of Iowa "That at the date of the Issuance of the warrants sued upon there were outstand ing general fund warrants of the city to the amount of $146 O2'i ' 81 and water fun war rants unpaid to the amount of $76,875 , mak- Inn a total of J222.P04 SI "That all of said general fund warrants are dravvnblo upon nnd pa ) able out of the general funds of the city , made up of the general 10-mlll levy on all taxable prop erty and the proceeds of licenses , fines , etc. "That the water fund warrants are gen eral Indebtedness of the city , pavablo first out of the water fund , and any balance not niet by tald fund Is pavablc out of the general fund. "That all the revenue ot the city derived from the 10-mlll le\y and from licenses , fines , etc. . Is necessary to piy the cur rent , ordinary and nccossarj expenses of the cltj and that after pa ) Ing the same there would be no money left In the gen eral fund to apply to a reduction of the outstanding and unpaid warrants "That If this warrant sued on takes Its regular cnurtc nnd Is paid In the older of Its presentation to the city treasurer nnd payment of same deferred until the payment of the prior warrants presented It will not bo paid for more than two years tram date of HB Issuance. "That said warrant was not Issued In anticipation of any tax now levied and In the course of collection or of any tax to be levied or collected by the city. "That the city cannot under the law le- gallj Issue n warrant In anticipation of a tnx to bo levied two yeais from the data of the Issuance of such warrant "That there Is no money In the city treas ury to pay said warrant. "That the city Is Indebted beyond the amount fixed by the constitution. "That said warrant Is Illegal and void and not a Just or subsisting Indebtedness of thn city" In conclusion Shea asks that the court refuse the writ of mandamus asked for and that It find that said warrant Is Il legal nnd void nnd that the plaintiff be or dered to surrender the same to the clerk of the court for cancellation It Is expected that Judge Smith will con sent to have the case argued before him In the near future , so that It can be taken i without delay to the supreme court , where , an effort will be made to have that body pass upon It at the May term.

With this out of the way the state continued Its cage this morning , putting twelve witnesses on the stand , each of whom testified to having been connected In some way with the money. The st.ite gained a very decided advantage by the decision of Judugo llolnus on the point of the admlsslblllty of the ovldenco by the state tending to show that the ev-sccro- tnry and not the executive council had the full control of the work of the compiling of I the cunsus nnd that In all Its workings his olllce was conducted by uluifcolf In the statement of his decision which overruled the ' objection of the defendant's counsel , his honor said ho had caiefully studied all the provlfclons of the code In icgard to the ex ecutive council and the census and found th.it the executive council did not have the authority to hire labor for tha performance of the work or to fix the hlro of such labor when It might bo at work.
