used to the noises our eyes grow accustomed

Our Bond Litigation.

Messrs. Hall and Bird submitted a
long report to the Board of Street Com
missioners Monday evening relating to
the present status of the railroad bond
the following facts are cleaned:
Mr. Metcalf has taken his ease by
writ of error to the United States SUI
preme court in hopes of obtaining a re-
versal and getting a decision adverse to
the city This case is now 1923 on the
calendar of the United States supreme
court, and probably will be reached in
about three years from this time. The
question to be decided in this case is
whether the statute of limitation of
1853 runs on this United States court
judgment and outlaws it in ten years
from its date, or whether we have to
wait until the expiration of twenty
years, the same as on a state court judy
ment. If ten years is sufficient to out
law an action on a United States cir
cult court judgment, then all judgments
against the city are outlawed. But if it
takes twenty years to do it, as Metcalf
contends, then there are some twelve
judgments, amounting in principal and
interest to some 100000, on which the
! statute of limitations has not yet run
and will not have run on all of them
before June 10, 1898.
The city should continue it's present
plan and precautions to prevent being
involved in future litigation until such
time as the city's attorneys shall adj
wise that it is safe to make change
Further, it is plain that the city should
not open it's doors to litigation before
the United States supreme court de-
cides the Metcalf case.
