City of Omaha Wins an Appeal.
. The city of Omaha has won Us appeal In
Its special assessment tax suit instituted by
the National Life Insurance company ana
othera. The district court enjoined the
collection of a special assessment for street
lmp"ovemont on the ground that the pro
cedure of the mayor and council was so
wide apart from the requirements of the
statutes as to render their action void. The
district court granted a perpetual Injunc
tion, the city appealed to the supreme
court and that court ha reversed and dis
missed the action. At a special meeting the
council passed an ordinance relating to tax
assessments and the smprcme court holds
that the mayor and eouncll were authorized
to pass a city ordlnanco pending before
that body and previously twice read and
referred to a committee.
Tn the case , of Frances A. M. Eddy and
Othera'against the City of Omaha the court
lias overruled the motion of appellants for
a rehearing and has modified Its former
Judgment The action related to the cost ot
curbing and guttering In paving districts
numbered 48 and 67. The court holds that,
Its former opinion is correct so far as the
power of the city council to order the work

o Relief for tlrement
No damages can be collected by the es
tate of Charles Hopper, declares the su
preme court, and the decision in the case
of the New Omaha Thompson-Houston
Kleetric Light company sgalnst Fred An
derson, administrator, has been reversed.
In the lower court a vtrdlct for damages
was eeCnred. Hopper was a member of
a fire truck company. A ladder was
hoisted, Its metallic corners came in con
tact with a live wire snd Hopper, who
was assisting in the hoisting, was killed
In deciding the case the supreme court
declared:
A member of a truck company, who as
sists to hoist a ladder with metallic cor
ners against an electric llarfit wire, cannot
In the absence of the Invitation or the
fx press permission of the owner, complain
that the wires were not nronerlv Insulated
and that he was Injured because of such a
lacK ot Insulation.
The same legal rules are declared to
apply to the damage suit of Carrie M:
B'ndsen. Bendsen was a fellow worker
with Hopper. The accident occurred Au
gust 9, 1H9.
Beet Sngtar Company Loses.
A moral obligation can never be deemed
to rest upon the people of the state to
discharge a contract made bv the legisla
ture in direct violation of the constitu
tion. .
So declares the supreme court in sus
taining the decision of the I-ancaster dis
trict court In repudiating the sugar beet
bounties claimed by the Oxnard Beet Su
gar company and the Norfolk Beet Sugar
company.
The beet companies claimed bounties ag
gregating S40.0UO, based on an act passed
In 1K9S authorizing a bonus for sugitr man
ufactured In the state. The claim was not
paid and the companies petitioned the leg
islature for the sum. Two years ago the
leglalature gave permission to the claim
ants to bring suit for the money. The
suit was filed in Lancaster county and to
the petition of the plaintiffs the state in
terposed a dbmurrer, claiming that the
original art embraced two subjects, such
an act waa not a public object and a di
rect appropriation must bo marie. Tlie
district court sustained the demurrer and
the supreme court has approved the de
cision. In the appeal of the City of Wahoo
against Kzer Nethaway the decision of
tho district court was affirmed. The de
fendants occupied a part of the city streets
for thirty years. The decision upholds the
law of adverse possession and the Judges
assert that the rule between a municipality
and a rltizcn must be enforced as strictly
as between individuals.
