LAWSUITS COST MONEY
On Account of Judgments Against
the City,
TAXES WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER

Other News of the City Departments
of Interest to Topeka People.
The city council ways and means COM
mittee met at the council chamber last
night to prepare its report to the council
regarding assessment levies necessary to
meet the payments of judgments, in
terest on bonds, etc, that will be due dur
ing the next year.
Councilman Burgess occupied the
chair The other members of the com
mittee present were Councilmen Brad
ford, Stephenson and Pattison. City At
torney Bird and City Clerk McFadden
were present also as advisory members
Mr.. PRttison passed the apples.
AS a preliminary to the consideration
of the various moneys to be raised and
the rate of levy for raising them, Mr. Mo-
Faddsn explained to the council that the
assessment of city property was much
less this year than it was last. Last year
the assessed valuation was $9,800,00O,
but this year it is only $9,50O,OOO, 100000
less.
The frat assessment considered was
the levy to clear up the judgments
against the city. They were as follows:
Sewer judgment, $4,000, expenses,
30 ~; Lowe 1uQg m0nL. $EOO; Snltn Jug
ment, 500; Kershner judgment, 5000.
ana Judgment against the Jefferson
street fire station building, $500. Ex-
penses added to these judgments placed
the total at $4,000, and Mr.. McFadden,
who had figured it out, said he thought
a levy of about "a mills would about
cover it. Mr. Stephenson moved to make
it ~ mills, and after Mr.. Bradford had
seconded it it carried.
On motion of Mr.. Bradford the water
tax levy was made the same as last year,
1.6 mills.
The assessment for the library fund
was also allowed to remain at one half
mill, as last year, when it brought to the
city library the sum of $4,S00.
The interest on bonds had to be at
tended to and on explanation of the city
clerk that it would be about right, and
on motion OF Mr.. Bradford, seconded by
hr. Stephenson, the levy for this was
placed at 81 mills, Mr.. McFaddsn ex.
planning that there were some back
taxes due the city that would help out
nicely.
The eity's proportion of one tenth the
principal and interest on street paving,
was next to be disposed of. Owing to
the difference in the assessed valuation

Councilman Stephenson Preparing an Or
dinanos to Protect Pneumatic Tires.
Councilman Stephenson now has in
preparation an ordinance that the bicy-
clists will be glad to hear about. It is to
be an ordinance providing a punishment
for throwing wire, bottles, glass, nails,
tacks, or anything that will puncture a
pneumatic tire, in the streets or alleys.
This is made imperative" says Mr.
Stephenson, "by the acknowledged ad-
vance of the use of pneumatic tires. All
bicycles have them, and there are more
bicycles On the streets than buggiss. 1t
costs something to keep tires in good re-
pair.
81 believe. teo, that the time will be
here very soon whom nearly all carriages
and pleasure vehicles will have the
pneumatic tires and an ordinance of this
kind will be necessity"

of Office Holding.


OLD FoRAE, n. Y, July 27-The state
officers who are inspecting state property
visited ex President Harrison day at
Camp Dodge. In this party were Secre-
tary of State John Palmer and the
forestry and fish commission. Secretary
Palmer was chosen AS the speechmaker,
and when the party lined up in front Of
the ex-President's rough pine board
house Mr.. Palmer explained briefly the
object of the trip. In reply General
Harrison said:
"Most of you, as I understand from the
address of General Palmer, are state Off
Gals. Through some experience 1 know
that office has its accompaniment of
sorrow and trouble and this trip you are
making to the Adirondacks is doubtless
one of these affections and burdensome
things that appertain to office. l am
sure you are not at all bent upon pleas
ure. but with studied purpose to dis
charge your official duty, and that you
are looking at everything with an official
eye. l hope however, that the trip will
have some pleasure for you, and 1 am
glad to welcome you to Camp Dodge"

MUST PAY THE INTEREST.

Interest Bearing Bonds for Paving That
Was Never Done and No Fund for 1t.
One time the city issued bonds to pave
an alley between Kansas avenue and
Jackson and Eighth and Ninth streetR.
The bonds were sold, but an injunction
was issued by Judge Guthrie against the
work and it was never done. The city
now has the interest to pay.
All this WAS q perplexing question
that came up before the ways and means
committee of the city council last night.
No fund had ever been created to pay
the interest on those bonds, the amount
of which City Clerk McFadden says he
does not know. The assessment made
against the property was paid and the
city seems to have no record of what
WAS done with it. At least Mr.. Burgess
says he cannot find out.
Heretofore the interest on these bonds
has been paid out of the general revenue
fund and last year it was $1,100. The
committee was in doubt regarding its
ability to make levy covering this and
the assessment in the general improve
ment fund was increased a tenth of a
mill for the present to help cover it.
Mr.. Bird thinks perhaps the lsgisla-
ture will have to be called in. There
was some talk also of having the inj unc-
ton set aside and going on with the paw
ing.
The status of the matter now remains
that the city has sold the bonds, been
paid the assessments, and has nothing to
show for it further than interest that
must be paid out to the bondholdsrs

Midway as - Nuisance.
Col. George w. Veale was at the city
hall yesterday evening with good sized
and healthy objection. The noise at the

him. He objects mostly to the organ, it
is understood Mr.. Veale has no ear for
music, anyway.
"The thing is a nuisance" he says,
''no open saloon could be more so. The
most disreputable characters in the city
congregate there and yell and talk loud
and make quiet and responsibility in the
neighborhood almost impossible. I am
not alone in wishing it away. If the city
must have the license the place pays for
a few weeks at most, I would be willing
to put up the license for the time and
have the thing moved out of town"
