Tt h been discovered thHt the former
administration in purchasing three of the
park altea and also the city hull site neg
lected to see to It that all arrears of taxes
were paid before approving tho title to the
lanet. The city treasurer has directed a
communication to the city council asking.
If the city proposes to pay the tax in tho
several Instances, that they do mo at once.
He desires to have his tax books show a
clean record.
It Is the usual business method to have I
all taxes paid up on a transfer of real
estate, as otherwise there remains a cloud
on the title. The former administration
neglected this matter. The tax in arrears
on tha city hall site la a special tax for lb
paving. It amounts to H0O.47. Tins general

Citr Sued for Dnmuges.
Malcom Mruce, through his attorney, J.
D. Kinger, lias given notice of a suit for
16,000 damages by reason of personal in
juries received under the y street viaduct
He was riding under the viaduct where
the old steel girders were being removed.
The workmen let one of them drop Just us
the boy was underneath and he received it
glancing blow which broke his breast bone
and inflicted other injuries.
Another case Is the suit of Kd Trnpp for
damages to certain house moving apparatus
at Twentieth and N streets, on account of
alleged defects in the street, which for this
reason could not carry off the storm water
during a period when the. plaintiff was
moving a building. This happened last
spring.
In connection with numerous suits and
settlements, not to mention Judgments
against the city, the council is to consider
a resolution at the next meeting to require
an expert opinion as to the liability of the
private parties through whose Joint neglect
along with that, of the city, as granted, any
person may hereafter receive an injury.
The point Is that if a man maintains a de
fective sldewulk or leaves obstructions or
menacing objects in the streets and damage
results, how much can the city Justly col
lect of such an individual?
