SOME DAM COSTS.
The Mexican Engineers About to De
part After Doing Thorough Work.

/
The Santa Fe company wants half q
million for the removal of its tracks TO
| make way for the reservoir back of the
! in ternatiOnal dam. The Southern Pa.
chic wants S447, 600 for the transfer OF
| its tracks and the relocation of its
| bridge. The dam structure of itself
alone will cost a little over one mil
lion, and what the tioodage damages
will be cannot now be given with any
J that all the expenses cannot fal
short of three millions. The expend-
| lture of that great sum in this imme-
diate vicinity would give this city a
marvellous boost, and make of it one of
| the greatest ceuters in The western
part of the United States.
Colonel de Y barrola, the engineer in
chief in charge, has completed his
surveys of the dam location, and secur-
ed statistics and data that have let in a
food of light on the situation. He has
shown that the proper site is the upper
one, and with accurate maps and full
facts and figures has been able to
present a report to Washington with
Captain Derby that gives all of the in
formation that congress may ask fer.
Under Gel. de YbarrOla'S direction the
Mexican government has expended
$50, 900 in the way of surveys and sound

they are at. The colonel will write
detailed report both in Spanish and
English as soon as he returns to the
City of Mexico which will be tomorrow
evening, for presentation to his
government, and it is expected that
the English part may be called for at
Washington. He takes his maps
and data with him in boxes and
rolls, and with his departure the
M~xican staff will all have gone.
While their work has kept them
pretty closely confined, they have been
able to make many acquaintance
in Ell Pasn, and have made an
excellent impression here by their
gentleman Y and courteous demeanor.
Co onel de y barrola stands very high
not only with his government but with
the many U. S. army officers and
scientists whom be $ met. and his
departure is regretted. That he and
his able staff may return to take part
in the construction of the great work is
earnestly hoped.

The Civ Tax Suits.

The first of the test cases in the
scores of suits by the city against
| delinquent tax payers came up last
evening in the district court, beins
! the suit against J. 2 Dieter. City
! Attorney Townsend appeared for the
corporation and Judge Coldwell for the
defense. The suit was heard upon de-
PENDANTS demurrer to pla ntiff's petj
ton and the court decided against the
city for these reassus:
l. Chapter D A of title PA of the
revised statutes does not authorize a
city to bring suits for the recovery OF
unpaid taxes.
2. The ordinance of tho city council
of the citJ of Ell Paso adopting the pro.
visions of said chapter is VOID and does
not authorize the maintenance of suits
by the city.
3 The defendants property having
been sold for taxes the city could
not sue him for the amount thereof
without alleging that the sale was in
valid
i. The asses sment against defend
ant for taxes was void in so far as sew
eral distinct lots were assessed in a
lump.
Il he plaintiff asked leave to amend
its petition and it is understood will
nov claim that the tax sale was void
and endeavor to enforce lien on the
property given by law to secure the
pay ment of valid taxes.
Judge Townsend asked leave to amend
and try the case at later date. There
is over S400 900 due the city in taxes,
and this decision makes the situation
look bad for the city.
