President II. J. Penfold of the school
board must sign the contract by which John
McDonald IB appointed architect for the pub
lic school blllldlngri of Omaha
Judge ttlabuugh so decided jcstcrday
after having had the matter under advise
ment slnco the close of the hearing two
dajK ago. Thfl proceedings were brought by
McDonald , who applied for mandamus writ
to compel President Penfold to sign the con
tract In question.
The opinion 111 which the writ Is granted
na prayed for Is a voluminous document.
Judge Hlabatigh enters Into every detail of
thu ca e.
Proportions were advanced by the de
fendant ns follows- That the relater had
not n beneficial Interest In the contract
bought to bo signed such an would nulhorlre
Mm to maintain suit , that the proceeding * !
of the Board of Education relative to thu
approval of the bond and contract of Mc
Donald wer" Irregular and void und that
therefore President Penfold was warranted
In refusing to sign the contract ; that the
action ( it the board was Invalid In that It
limits the discretion and power of the Incoming -
coming board , which organlrcs In January ,
nnd that tlio contract IB void ns against pub
lic policy.
Tlic Court' ) ! Itullnu.
Judge Slubaugh held that the rclator has
HUlllclcnt Interest In the contract by virtue
of the work to ho performed by him und the
compensation to be received by him to en
title htm to maintain suit.
At , to the Irregularity of the board's pro
ceedings , the court found that such proceed
ings were regular , that u majority of the
board by a vote of fi to fi hud voted to ap
prove the contract and bond of McDonald
nud ordered the president nnd secretary to
sign the contract at the meeting of Decem
ber C.
The court further held that the school
board IB a corporate body , marto so by
s.tatiite , and that it Is continuous In Its pow
ers of contract nnd succession nnd that It
liad the right to make a contract , for one
year with Architect McDonald , beginning
December 1 , within the term of all members
of the present board , although such contract
continues In effect after the organl/atlon of
the now board and the terms of flvo out of
fifteen members have explied.

PARKS liiVEN IP TO WEEDS
CommUai'oners Will Main Earnest Flea for a
Larger Allowance.
PRESENT LEVY IS WHOILY INADfQUATF.

The Hoard of Park Commissioners will
make n vigorous effort to secure n more
liberal appropriation for the coming > car.
The commissioner feel that they should bo
granted the maximum levy permitted by
the charter , which would bring their In
come to $30,000 , In addition to the $ ln,000
road fund set apart by the legislature
During the last year about $17,000 has
been available , and this amount has bscn
wholly Inadequate to the demands of the
parks.
As a result Hanscom park has been main
tained on one-half the lowest amount ever
piovlously appropriated for the purpose
The lawn was either left uncut or run over
roughly with a horse-power mower. The
lloivor bcils have been tnl.cn out and no
effort hai been made to prevent the ravages
of Insects In trees and shrubs. Hlvcrvlow-
park has been Kept up after n fashion at
even less expense. At liemls park a slight
attempt has been made to keep the grounds
In condition by the surrounding property-
owners , who have contilbutcd to a fund
for that purpose. The other parks of the
city have been abandoned to the weeds ,
which have made rapid progress during the
jear.
> Duties Vr > AnNUiiieil.
In speaking of the new levy Commissioner
. J. Cornlhh said : "Next vcar the park
board will bo called upon to care for sev
eral now parks which have recently como
Into the cltj's possession. There arc thir
teen acres in theKountzo tract which will
need drctslng up to n considerable extent
before the rtaeivo will be of any use to the
cllv. Turner patk. two blocks square , be
tween rarnam and Dodge streets , east of.
Thirty-first , Is another naked piece of
_ round upon which money must bo expended
licforo it can be any credit to the city.
Then there \Voolworth park at Thirty-
first and Poppleton avenue , and Deer park
on the south hide , all newly acquired strips
of ground , which will require attention On
the west , rontaiiollo park , acquired by the
city at a cost of $110,000 , is lying Idle , a
pasture for cows. If treco could bo planted
on this site there would be at least u pros
pect that the city might leap benefit from
ihe Investment at f-omo future time It
should bo berne In mind also that the longer
the public reserves are left in neglect the
more difficult is their final redemption , as
the weeds and insects arc doing a mischief
that can staicoly be calculated.
l'ul Amount IK vvilcil.
In my opinion the paik commlssioneis
will need the lull amount allowed by the
charter. The law originally specified that
ho board should have $30,000 as a minimum
ilkwance , the allotment ordinarily reaching
nilwhere up to $60,000. $ The old minimum
was fixed at the present maximum when the
barter was revised wlih the tacit under-
stai ding that the full amount would be
granted. While I. In common with all tas-
; iaera , am In favor of a low general levy , I
hlnk the exercise of buch rigorous economy
in the care of the parks Is poor business
policy. "
Commissioner J. H. Evans Is also In favor
of expending at least $23,000 on the mainte
nance of the parks during the coming vear.
"If It had not been for the road fund eutab-
liFhed by the legislature last spring , " ho
said , "It would have been Impossible to have
met necessary expenses with the money al-
lov ed us. While the road fund , of course ,
cculd not be applied to parks , we are abM
\pend the city lew solol ! * for park pur-
There have been absolutely no IIP
proviments attempted during the year , with
the reception of the bear pits nt Hlvervlew
p.irk , which wcro made Imperative by the
danger of the animals making their escape
through the old cages. The thirty-acre tract
ncrth of the park stands as It was acquired
by the city , with no roadwajs or trees. I
hope the council will feel sufllclcnt Interest
In the appearance of the rlty to maintain
the present Improvements , even It no new
ones arc made. "

IMrs R M. Illalnc , who Is 111 at her res- !
dcnce , 2523 Dccatur street , with n malady
vmlously diagnosed na confluent smallpox
and malignant chtckclipox , Is In a fair way
to recover. The fever stage IB now passing
and the city physician tmjs that there Is no
need for apprehension unless some secondary
trouble develops. The members of the fam
ily were vaccinated as soon as the disease
was Identified a ? smallpox by the health offl-
clalr one week ago and In each cute the In
oculation was effective.
The city phjslclan points out that the fam
ily Is being constantly exposed nnd that con
tagion Is liable to occur at any time. The
peilod of Infection ically began after the
health ofllclals took charge of the case and
symptoms may therefore not develop until
fifteen days from the present time , or from
aiy : date when the disease might be commu
nicated. H Is a peculiar fact , remarked the
city phjelclan , that a pcison may be exposed
for thirty days and his physical condition bo
such that ho would only be susceptible to
the contagion on the thirtieth day. Ono
case of smallpox In this city last winter con-
: lnucd for forty-five dajs. The geim is most
easily disseminated during the final stage
when the sealing process takes place. The
Hl.ilns will bo held prisoners for an in
definite period , as the case has only com-
pliled the second week.
Supplies arc convejcd to the beleaguered
family dally by an Immune from the health
department nnd the order for groceries and
meatB Is taken for the next day The In
mates of the house were at Hist Inclined to
chafe nt the rigorous action of the city
phjslclan In the face of the opinion of their
family physician that the disease was
chlckenpox , but arc now said to have become
resigned to the situation. For their satis
faction the opinion of four outside physicians
was obtained , who held In each case that the
disease was smallpox of a severe form.
