BURLETGH HOME TODAY.
VIII Reach seattle From New York -
Talk OF the BURLINGTON.


Talk OF the Burlington.
Receiver Andrew F. Burleigh. of the
Northern Pacific. will reach Seattle to-
day, after his trip to New York and his
application TO Judge Lacombe's court. The
attitude of the Western receiver toward
the receivers for the Eastern end of the
road has been the subject of much specu-
lation. but no definite announcement Of
any agreement between the two, except a
tacit understanding to conduct the road for
the greatest benefit of the stockholders
and bondholders has yet been announced.
There has been some comment on the
possibility of Eastern connections through
the Burlington system at Billings, and
only few days ago the Post-Intellig encer
in an interview with railroad man point
ed out that Mr.. Burleigh could well be iu-
dependent of the Milwaukee receivers,
should the latter show a tendency TO be-
come arbitrary. That possibility has been
discussed by the Spokesma Review of
Spokane as extremely probable, and the
paper strongly suspects that Mr. Burleigh
has plainly told Receivers MeHenTy aud
Bigelow that he will cut them off should
they assume TO be dictatorial. He is said
TO be in no mood to allow the managers OF
the Eastern end of the road 70 play
loose with him, and the statement is
made that he will either have what he
considers right or enter at once into ne
gotiations with the Burlington folk. He
has declared his intention, so it is under
stood, that unless the Eastern managers
come to terms he will make the deal with
the Burlington and allow Judges Jenkins
and Sanhorn 10 keep their end OF the
Northern Pacific and do with it as they
choose
Should such an sgreement be entered into
il would give the Burlington a through
line TO the coast, and would throw the
traffic of Washington from ST. Paul into
the section of country pierced by the Bur
lington's many lines.

object such extensive additions should he

the statute.
The Spokane Case I'm Point.
s.Tn a recent case decided by tie sG-
prerne court entitled Winston vs. sTo-
kane. decided August =. 1895. where the
city OF Spokane desired TO complete the
OF the peoples money I'm such large
system Of water works already begun, II
was held that the city could set aside a
certain percentage Of the proceeds OF wa
ter funds for the purpose OF completing
the system. The only question decided was
that IL was not the increasing OF the in
debtesfness within the constitutional DEM
ition. and for the purposes Of that case the
court SAYS:
IT must he conceded that said water
works Will IN addition TO supplying the
money for the creation of such fund as
provided for in said ordinance. pay all es-
penses incident 10 their operation and for
that reason the creation OF such special
fund can occasion no liability upon the
part of the city 10 make any payment out
OF it's general funds
"But by the terms OF this bill IL cannot
he considered that said water works VIII.
in addition 10 supplying the money for the
creation of said fund. pay all the expenses
incident 10 the operation of the present
system OF water ROFkS 1 ne only t&fsAtoh
involved in that case was whether under
the circumstances recited il would create
any liability against the defendant city 10
make payment out or its general FUNDS.
1T must be remembered in the Spokane
matter that the plan had been
adopted by the people and for some reason
the funds provided could not be used 20
complete the system, the city council
merely provided for setting aside certain
percentage OF the revenues derived from
the water system to carry out ana COM
pIete that which had already been COM
menced by authority Of vote OF the peo-
pie.
II am therefore of the opinion that the
plan adopted by the city council as set
forth in said bill for the Improvement and
extension therein provided by ADDING
thereto a supply system from Cedar river
should be sunnbitted TO the qualified vot-
ers, and If adopted by majority, sucn
plan would meet with all of the require
ments of law. and the bill should be so
drafted as to submit such question to
the qualified voters. as herein stated.
