| CLOAK, and was leaning back against a

which made her even more strlklngy at

There was nothing for it but to put

They drove on. but ne gave one wiStful
glance towards the gloomy looking house;

An evil foreboding seized upon Anna
thwaite as soon rs they came in sight of
the doctors house. The outer door, which
always stood open till late at night, had
been shut: curtain Of the bay window
in the lower room had been drawn aside,
and not pulled back from its place. These

cent of all the taxable property in
the city. The assessed valuation
has been padded to bring down the
per cent so that the council could
boast of economy when in fact there
has been extravaganza. BY raising
the valuation Of city property out OF
all proportion, the city suffers, for it
has to pay comfy and state taxes on
this valuation, as we'll as city taxes.
Doing like the bankrupt does to make
it appear that we are living within
our means is costly policy.
The city is about to pledge its
credit for SIT 800 for an electric light
plant. The council claims that the
amount is only $4,000, but it will
make radical changes in the pumping
station to accommodate the plant and
charge it to the water works, put in
engines and charge it to the water
works. etc. 1t will be the Devil under
some other name.
Mr.. Cray said that the city had on
May Is, 1895, passed an ordinance
adopting the provisions Of chapter 2O4,
laws of 1898, limiting the bonded in
debtedness to five per cent, except
when bonds were authorized by two
thirds vote of the people. 1t was the
spirit of that law to hold down the en-
tire bonded Indebtedness to five per
cent. The electric light bonds did
not receive two-thirds majority. No
| notice of election was published or
posted, and no legal election held.
Under the charter the city has already
gone beyond it's legal rights in the
matter of Indebtedness.
Mr.. Pfau held that there is mo limi-
tation to the Indebtedness of the city,
and that there is no law limiting the
Indebtedness unless it is chapter 2O4,
law of 1898. The city can levy an un-
limited amount of taxation each year.
All this talk about the city trying to
dodge is nonsense, because it is not
necessary for it to pad the valuations,
as it is not limited, and with all the
padding could not get under the 1893
law. By the law of 1891, the city is
authorized to issue $4,000 bonds to
establish an electric lighting plant
whenever the council deems it wise
and majority of the people vote for
it. 1t was under this law that the
city undertook to establish plant.
The city is not confined to street
lighting, but can do commercial light.
ing.
Afterwards, the city determined to
issue water bonds, and as it was not
authorized to issue more under the
provisions OF the charter, to enable it
to issue these bonds it adopted chapter
204, laws of 1893 Both elections were
held at the same time, but under diff
ferent resolutions of the council
Having adopted it, construed that ii
became part of the charter and that
its repeating clause repealed all parts
Of the charter Inconsistent with it
That is the only construction that
can be placed on the Law
by which it will be constitutional
Mr.. Pau took the ground that the
law of 1893 is certainly unconstitu
tional. He cited Minneapolis and St
Paul cases.
Mr.. Cray desired to take the trair
for Chicago and did not have time tt
go into the case as much as hi
desired. Judge Severance took the
matter under advisement until aftel
he returns from Fairmont, and before
, he renders decision another hear
Jog will be had.

The order to show cause why tenn
porary injunction should not he
granted, restraining the city from is
suing the proposed electric light plant
bonds until the case shall have been
tried on its merits in the district court,
was returnable before Judge Sever
ance at 200 o'clock, and the motion
for the Injunction was argued. Lorin
Cray represented the plaintiff in the
action. L. G.. M. Fletcher, and City
Attorney Pau appeared for the city,
which was also represented by Mayor
Weaver.
Mr.. Cray opened his argument by
explaining the fact Of the complaint
having been amended to incorporate
the facts alleged in the reply when
the case was up the first time, the
city having. claimed that the reply to
the answer was more important than
the original complaint. He read the
amended complaint. 1t alleges
that the taxable property of the city
in July, 1895, was So, 113, $50. Mr..
Cray said that another assessment
had been since made, and that it
looked as though the council had
aimed at this suit, because 1t had
lifted the valuations skyward and in
cluded property that was very
questionable for the apparent purpose
of raising the taxable valuation to a
point where the bonded debt will
come under the five per cent limit.
The assessed valuation as eQualized
by the council,i is artful and decelving.
The amended complaint alleges that
the bonded Indebtedness of the city
is S197 800, and the annual interest on
this is S1O,52O Besides this, there
was at the time referred to $50, 1872
owing to the banks and borrowed from
other funds. The total debt was g. "a
per cent f.the equaliZed valuation of
the city. The ratio could be changed,
if the council were allowed TO assess
church property, the cemeteries, city
hall, county buildings, railroad prop.
erty, and everything else within the
corporate limits of.the city. The ag.
gregate increase could be made to an
enormous amount, and the assessed
valuation doubled.
Mr.. Pau: "Where do you get the
$50, 900 of floating debt? 1t was not
borrowed from3the banks
Mr.. Cray: "a part of it"was Dor
rowed from the sinking fund"
Mr.. Pfau: "The city does not owe
$4,000 outside of it's bonded indebted
ness.''
MI Cray: "Where have the take:
for current expenses gone to-"
Mr.. Pfau: "But the city doesn't owe
the money now"
Mr.. Cray: 1.-The deficiency funC
levied last pear was S. 900. What for:
Itake it that the amount levied fol
this purpose this year will be twice
that amount"
Mr.. Cray continued that, based or
the experience OF the past two years
there would be a deficiency of S6l, OO(
this year. When the taxes came il
in greatest amount, last June anC
July, there was chance to take VI
the floating debt, but TO dO this eX

had to grade pathway to the bank
