KNOTTY OUESTION COMES UP
Shall OuUUnding Warrants or Thoss for
Current Ezpanaoi Be Paid First ?
PAPERS IN SECOND TEST SUIT ARE FILED

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.

TliroviN Cloud on Title.
Peterson S. Schocnlng of this city com
menced suit In the district court yesterday
against J. N. Casadv , Gllen M Casady ,
Simon Casady , Thomas Dow man , trustee ,
nnd "John Doe , " which Is calculated to
throw a cloud ever the title to the prop
erty on Oakland avenue which the Donrd of
Education has selected to purchase as a site
for the now High school building. Peterson
& Shoenlng some time back secured a Judg
ment against J N Casady for $104 G6 and
$1210 costs which has never been satisfied.
In their petition they allege that J. N
Casady was the ewer of lots 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 , In
block 17 , Mill addition , this property being
that on Oakland avenue selected bj' the
School Doard as the site for the High school ,
nnd that Casadj- , subsequent to Incurring
the Indebtedness with the plaintiffs , con
veyed this property to his wife. Further
that Mrs Casady encumbered It with a
mortgage to Simon Casady for the alleged
sum of $0,000 without consideration and
the purpose of preferring certain creditors
whom they claimed to represent as trustees.
Peterson & Schnenlng ask that the court
declare their Judgment against J N. Casady
to bo superior and paramount to the Interest ,
right or title of all the defendants in the
four lots , nnd that a special execution for
the sale thereof to satisfy their Judgment
be isssued.

DBS MO1XES , April 21 ( Special Tele
gram.V. ) . M. Md'arlam ! , and not the state
executive council , was responsible for the
compilation and publication of the last Iowa
census. So Judge Holmes ruled at the openIng -
Ing of court this morning when the McFar-
land case , In which the state seeks to re
cover ? 5.000 from the ox-SBorctnry of stale ,
was continued. This Is the point of law
upon which the case awaited n ruling at the
close of the second dajs' trial } esterdaj
evening. 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. The state Is
confident of victory.
