HAS LOST ITS HEAD.
The Park Board Finds Itself
Without a Ppesi-

CONFLICT IN THE LAW.
President Ridgeway's Men,
bership Ceased the First
Of January.
INTEREST ON AWARDS.
An Important Suit Being
Heard Concerning City
Assessments.

The Minneapolis park board doesn't
know whether it has president or not.
President Rldgeway's term as director
expired Jan. l, but his term of office
as president Of the board does not eX-
pire until Jan. 81. The question has
consequently arisen, can President
Ridgeway be an official OF the board
and not a member. Secretary Cove
asked John Day Smith, the attorney OF
the board, for his opinion Oh the case
yesterday. Mr.. Smith said:
The rules and regulations Of the
park board prescribe that the president
and other officers shall retain their po-
sitions until their successors are elect
ed. But the law under which the
board is constituted provides that the
term of office of the commissioners
shall expire Jan. l, and those elected
shall take their office as soon
as they qualify. on and after that daIe.
The term of office OF President Rldg-
way under this construction of the law
expires with the first of the year, and
the law has precedence over the rules,
50 that think the term of the officers
expires with the first of the year.
According to this opinion, Ice Tres
ident Stoft will have to act as presiding
0 fficer during the rest of the term.
The fight over the election OF park
board attorney is becoming warmer, and
John Day Smiths chances are growing
less in direct ratio to the warmth OF the
fight. A Democratic candidate is one
of the latest in the field, ii. Z. Herrick,
Of the Second ward. The four Demo
cratic members, Dahn. Brown, Ryan
and Stoft, will vote for Herring.
and it is said that the East Side
Republicans can be brought In
line in order to elect him against the
field. G. j. Leonard, A. Ii. Num- and
John Day Smith are the Republlcan
candidates, with lockwood mentioned
as not only possibility, but one who IS
likely to secure the office if he makes
fight for it, OF indicates his intention OF
accepting it. A prominent Republican
Yesterday said that he was certain that
lockwood would he elected to the at
torneyship if he decided that he wanted
he office.
No caucus Of the Republican MEM
bers has been called yet. and Secretary
Cove Yesterday stated that none would
be held this year. w. W. Fowell has
a cinch on the presidency If he will take
il, and The Democratic members Will be
rewarded by the vice presidency, which
will be given to Jacob Stoft for another
two years if he will accept. Secretary
Cove will be reelected secretary.

WAYS rated these in the company's as

AS greater portion of these premiums
were uncollectible. the losing share
holders are inclined to place this work
on par with the OffenSe now charged
against him of entering up ValueleSS

Towards the last he was put to all
sorts of straits to raise money. HIS IA
yOrite plan was to give some one con-
nected with the concern few hundred
shares of stock and have him put them
up to secure a note at any bank that
would accept them at half of par value.
The First National bank loaned Fisher

after the thirty days. loan was made.
The dividend that was declared'ln the

into the company's treasury, and was

Strange to say, no one is found to
charge Brander with stealing, after all
these operations. He has burned up

HENNEPIN REAL ESTATE.
City Assessor Plummer's Report
on the Valuation.

City Assessor PIummer's Report
on the Valuation.
City Assessor Plummer completed his
annual report yesterday and turned it
over to the city clerk. 1t opens
at once with the statement Of the
otal valuations OF real estate i'm
provements and personal property.
The assessments fixed by the assessor
were revised by the city and state
boards of equalization, and the total as
seSsed valuation of the city was finally
fixed at $135, Sl4.323 of which Sl17.S74.-
AL represents real estate aud the i'm
proyements on the same. and SIT, $50 ,912
represents personal property.
Mr.. Plummer quotes in detail series
of figures indicating that in the ASSESS
ments of 1890, 1892 and 1894 a total re-
duction was made for the Seventh,
Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth wards
of S4,67l. 3l5, and, inasmuch as the total
assessment! for these wards in 1883 was
S14, 276. 1872, the reduction amounted to
about sos per cent. These reductions
do not appear In the general aggregate,
as the increase i'll business and other
income-p producing properties not only
offset the reductions thus made, but in
creased the assessment on lands and
lots from 1888 to 1890 by $3.50, 1853.
The question of outside real estate
will always be a problem for the as
SCISSOR, and he suggests that an investl-
gation be made Of the system in vogue
in other states.

important Action Comes Up
Touching the City.

important AcJ1On ComeS Up
Touching the City.
A suit OF considerable importance to
Minneapolis and cities in general was
taken up by Judge Smith yesterday.
Its effects would be far-reaching should
the city lose. The case is that of James
w. RAYMOND, trustee of the Bank of
New England, against the City of Min
neapolis.
The facts. which are admitted, are
that plaintiff owned piece or property
which was damaged by the change OF
grade on the raising of the streets over
the Manitoba tracks. The amount
awarded him as damages was Sl9,30O.
This was allowed Oct. 10, 1892, but was
not paid at once, the payment taking Its
usual course, plaintiff receiving $500
June 20, 1898, and $4,000 June 8, 1894.
The action is brought to recover Inter
est on the amounts from the time the
award was made by the city.
This has never been tried before. 1t
has generally been accepted by prop
erty owners as the proper thing to wait
until the city collects the money before
pa"ment is expected. The plaintiff,
however. claims that the city should
nav interest. for the reason thHt the
moment the award is made the amount
becomes a direct charge against the
city, and it therefore should pay for the
use of the money.
The city attorney makes the claim
that the city only acts as an agent in
the collection of the assessments and
awarding Of damages, aud that there
fore it is not obliged TO pay interest.
The case is submitted TO the court on
three propositions, Is the amount d.
rect charge to the city? If it is direct
charge against the city, in what manner
is it to be paid and from what fund? Is
the city 'chargeable for interest, and If
so, to what extent?
Judge Smith disposed Of one of these
at once by deciding that special funds
could not be used for other purposes
than those originally intended.
A similar question was raised last
term in a suit brought by Bradley
against the city. and which was heard
by Judge Elliott. No decision has been
filed in that case yet. 1t was there
claimed that interest should be allowed
from the time of the confirmation. while
in this case it is claimed that 1t should
be allowed from the time of the award.
The question will be passed upon by
the two Judges, and will establish rul-
ing that may materially effect the
amount of money which the city will
have to pay for future improvements.
