The Board of Supervisors at their last meeting authorized the clerk to draw a warrant in favor of Churchill and Damn as a retainer fee in any suit which might arise between the County of Mohave and the Atlantic & Pacific railroad company.
 Application was thereupon made by two of our taxpayers to the Court Commissioner for an injunc- tion to restrain the Clerk from issu- ing the warrant for, various reasons as set out in their complaint.
 On the hearing before the Com missioner yesterday the application was denied, and we presume no fur ther action will be taken in the matter.
 Taking into consideration the fact shat the railroad taxes in this county if collected, and there now seems but little doubt of thelr ultimate collection, will amount to thirty thousand dollars 8 year in round figures, it certainly behooves the Board of Supervisors to take every reasonable precaution that no error or mlsstep on the part of the Assessor or Collector should prevent their proper collection. That the Board have acted wisely and prudently and for the best interests of the county in employing frstclass legal talent Tor the express purpose of preventing any costly and vexatious litigation 1T the future, seems to us about the most sensible thing they have ever done, and We believe that most oi our business men and heaviest taz payers heartily endorse their action
