THE COUNTY WON.
Nimocks Fails to Show That the

NimOcks Fails to Show That the
County Is in the City's Eebt.
The fight which has been on for some
time between the city and county, rela-
tive to the disposition of penalties on
delinquent taxes, was decided yester-
day, and in such way as to impair g.
A. Nnmocks' reputation for infalibility
in matters financial. Mr.. Nim0cks did
not look far enough. and consequently
made a mistake in his calculations,
which leaves the county winner.
Aldermen Bursell, Gray and Grimes,
as special committee from the city
council. accompanied by City Attorney
Russell. Comptroller Calderwood and
e. A. NimOcks, met with the county
commissioners at the court house, the
county board being backed 10y County
Attorney Jamison and Auditor Condit,
for the purpose Of settling the matter
finally. The whole question arose over
G. A. NimOckS' pretenSiOn that he mad,
after sleuthng through the county
records, discovered that the county
owed the city some S2l,0O0 as the
city's share of the delinquent
tax penalties. He reported the re-
suit of his researches to the
city and of course the city determined
to have that money. The paternal di-
vision OF the municipal administration
set about to get it and. after Wrangling
over the question for matter of two
hours. came to the conclusion that the
COutny was all right.
Where Nimocks made his mistake
was in taking no account of the eX-
penses contingent upon tne,collection of
the delinquent taxes. Out of penalties
assessed upon delinquents must come
the expense of advertising, interest and
fees. The county of course had to adj
vance money for part of these expenses
before getting any return, and then had
To deduct such expenses as fast as the
taxes were paid. There Is where MINI
OckS fell down.
A deplorable result of the outcome of
the dispute will be the Introduction into
the city council of resoluti n provid
ing for the distribution of the city's
share of these penalties among the
wards of the city, instead OF passing it
over directly to the city.

Judge Smith refuses to Remove
Him from the Keceivership.
The creditors, the insolvents, the as
signeee and the attorneys for all of them
were again before Judge Smith yester-
day, in the hearing of the petition to
GUST the assignee, Matt Gallagher, and
another full day of wrangling was gone
through, ending by the judge finding
for Gallagher. u
Judge Smith said that the evidence
clearly showed that large number of
the claims presented at this hearing for
the purpose of ousting Gallagher were
not claims within the meaning of the
law. The claims did not exist when
the assignment was made and the as
signee was appointed. and were clearly
paid for since with Henry Schurmeir's
money, or the money of one or tW 9TH
erS of the petitioners. Where the petit
TONERS hold claims worth, in the aggre-
gate, more than those of the demurrers,
they do not hold majority OF the claims
in number. For all these reasons the
petition was denied, and the Injunction
restraining Gallagher from settling up
the firms affairs was dissolved. The
attorney for the petitioners gave notice
that he might, after consultation with
his clients, wish to appeal the case, but
Assignee Gallagher will continue to
settle up the business.

THE SOUTH SIDE BRANCH,
The Library Board Does Not De,
eide on Its Location,

The committee favOring the location
of the South side branch of the library
at or near the corner of Franklin avenue
and Sixteenth street was on hand atIthe
meeting Of he'library board yesterday
afternoon. Rev. j. NJ. Patterson read a
petition signed by several hundred of
the residents of that district, desiring
that the branch be located there. and
pledging the use of room, light and
heat, should the board see fit to accept
the offer.
Mr.. Patterson spoke in favor of the
location as being the most central for
the people of the South side, and quoted
statistics from the Adams school, which
is in the immediate neighbOrhood, to
show that the attendance favored the
central location, as about 25 per cent of
the pupils come from each of the four
directions to the school. He also stated
that its location near the branch post.
office, which Is on the corner of Fiji
teenth street, favored the situation. and
also that the point mentioned was quite
a South side business center. Above all
he urged that it be located west of the
tracks.
Prof. Oftedal spoke on behalf of the
contingent that wantsthe branch library
located on the east side or the tracks
and at 1912 Fifth street south. He pre-
sented petition equally strongly word
ed with the former one, and containing
as many, If not more, signatures
Though each party was equally de-
termined, there was an amount of good
nature manifested over the matter that
was disappointment to those who had
expected to see Small-SiZed factioDal
battle.
The matter was finally referred to the
library committee, which will report at
the boards next meeting. The COM
mittee will meet at the NicolIet house
next Tuesday afternoon and drive to the
South side in carriages to look over the
ground before making the report.
A vote Of thanks was rendered Col.

gift to the library of complete sets of

Mr.. Taylor gave these figures as the
lowest prices at which the work indi-
Gated could or would be done. He
called attention to the fact that if coal
could be brought here wholly by water
the cost to the consumer would be far
less, since his figures showed that the
largest items in the first cost are the
railroad rates.
John G. Goodnow followed Mr.. Tay-
Tor. He thought that the whole num-
Der of reasons for the high price of coal
in Minneapolis might be summed up in
the one word distance" If the coal
mines were nearer the price Of coal
would be vastly less. He thought
thatit wonld be the height of sarcasm
to say that the Minneapolis coal dealers
are at present making even reasonable
profits. Transportation will ever be a
barrier to the attaining of cheap coal.
