The decision OF Judge Keysor in the Cor

proceedings to be commenced by others
having long standing claims against the
city. The city attorney will, 1t is under
stood appeal from Judge Keysor's decision
which orders the council to convene and
make special levy to pay the claim.
At tho time many of tho judgments were
being paid off Mayor Ensor called the at
tention OF the council to the fact that the
claims OF longest standing ought to be paid
first but the finance committee refused ia
comply with the suggestion Of the mayor
and paid claims as 1t saw ht. The Cortel-
you claim is now four years old and about
half Of the original claim was paid by the
administration preceding the one now in
power In case an appeal should not be
taken IL is more than likely that the claim
viii be paid out Of some OF the funds now
on hand and thus the expense OF making a
