Building Inspector Bunting filed the an
nual report of the department with the
Board Of Safety yesterday. The report is
chiefly that of Mr.. Pendergast, for Mr..
Bunting has filled the Office but "a few
months. During the year 1851 building per-
mits were issued. the sworn value of which
is s2,S6S.695. This represents the amount
of building done in Indianapolis during the
last year. The department made 4, 256 in
spections and forty-two concentrations.
Fifty-three business blocks and seventeen
factories were erected during the year.
During the year 991 residences were built,
of which $50 were two-story and 595 one
story. Five churches and four school houses
were constructed. The comparative valua-
tionS of buildings for 1894 and 1898 show an
increase of building in the year just closed

ONE DEFAULT FINAL
PROPERTY OWNERS MUST PAY BAR

Treasures Has No Right to Receive
Overdue Payments, Says
Judge Brown.

Judge Brown, OF the Circuit Court. rem
dered decision yesterday against the city
in the suit OF Alfred Fleischman to enjoin
the county treasurer from receiving pay
ment on improvement assessments after the
first payment has been defaulted. The city
demurred TO the complaint and is overruleG
by the court. In commenting upon the mer-
It's OF the complaint the court says:
1T seems TO me that the Legislature rec
ognized the fact that 1t would be a hard
ship on citizens IL they were compelled to
pay all OF their assessments at once, and,
therefore, the Barrett law was created for
the purpose OF giving the property owner
a period of ten years in which to pay off the
Improvement lien on his property in regular
bcndholder should have a lien on all of the
property affected.
lit was certainly the intention of the
Legislature, after granting the privilege,
to also make the bond marketable. T. was
the evident purpose TO protect the bond
holder in the same degree as the property
owner, and at the same time make the bonds
an acceptable medium of compensation to
the contractor. SO that the work Of public
improvements should not be retarded or
prevented. 1t was then, to my mind, the
intention of the Legislature to give the bond
holders the right to proceed by foreclosure
suits against property owners in cases
where one payment was defaulted and ask
for the collection of the full amount of the
bond. Now, IL the bondholders have this
right, the act Of the treasurer in receiving
these assessments after they become due
utilities that right. In the case cited de-
fault has been made, and the treasurer so
the bondholder has the right to foreclose

A NEW EEL RIVER CASE.
Attorneys for the State VIII Get
Proper Service This Time.

The decision in the Eel River railroad case
has been received with considerable disap-
pointment at Logansport, where the suit
originated. There has been great deal of
expense in the litigation thus far and the
matter now rests exactly where ii was when
the suit was filed, except that the
Supreme Court has pointed out a legal
way Of obtaining service on home corpora
lions that have no agent or officer within
the State. Ex-Judge Winfield, OF Logans-
port, who was one of the attorneys in the
case is quoted in the Logansport Pharos
as follows:
1t was problem with us how to get the
Eel River road into court. The road is an
Indiana corporation exclusively, but there
is not an officer or an agent of the road in

treasurer of the company, who resides in
Boston. The question of service did not
come up until too late to remedy IL with

sion OF the upper court is correct, but was

service and decide the case on it's merits
