The Farrell Claim.
Judge Mckay appeared before the
board as counsel for Farrell 81 Cos.
claims for extra wiring and told What
was already known about the acton
of the city council in approprlating 81
222. So and asked for a like appropI1a-
ton from the county. If they couldn
do this to say so and the contest would
be commenced in the courts. Attorney
Mhittemore stated that the county
was bankrupted, but didn't say why
nor how, and that a legislative appro-
priation was the only hope, and that
very distant and uncertain. Mr.. Ged-
des, as usual wanted time, he wash t
ready then, and if compelled to vote
he would vote against paying the BILL
as he didn't know how things stood;
they had not been doctored in commit
tee as vet but he was. willing to go
into a secret session in order to see
how he stood on the matter, and talk
about things that should be kept from
the public. Mr. Geddes was full of
these kind of tricks but Judge Mckay
objected to any star chamber business
and demanded that all that could or
should be said be public. Judge Nc
Nally also sat on GeddeS' star-cham-
Der tactics and the mileage rpauper
prince was squelched. As FaTells
claim was not formally before the
board they promised to take it up
Wednesday when presented by Judge
Mckay with an affidavit attached. 1t
will be in full with interest, and Judge
Mckay says he will make the county
pay every cent.
