all day yesterday. Although the case
presents several interesting features, it
became rather tedious even to the at
torneys interested. There are several

whether the chattel mortgage obtained
by z. c. NJ. I. for bona fide debt can
be set aside or not. The mortgage was
given for about S1,400 on the stock of

retain possession of the stock and sell

The meeting of the two county COM
missioners. Seaman and Armstrong.
yesterday was brief but business-liSe.
Commissioner Harmon is still absent
in Idaho, though a slip in Wednesdays
report referred TO him as sitting in the
meeting in place of Mr.. Armstrong.
The matter of correcting the report of
the county clerk for the year 1S95-1S96
was taken up and a resolution drafted
by Mr.. Seaman was adopted 1t pro-
VideS for the expert auditing OF the
books to ascertain if the debt limit
provided by law was exceeded, and II
so when and to what extent. Follow
ing is the resolution:
AN EXPERT TO INVESTIGATE.
Whereas, the report of the county
clerk of the financial condition of We
Der county, Utah, for the year 1895 and
the report of the county clerk and the
eX-OfficiO county auditor Of Weber
county, Utah, for the current year end
ing Jan. 3, 1897, are each incomplete
and inaccurate and do not in either in
stance show the true financial condi-
tiion of Weber county for the time
embraced in said two reports;
And whereas, this board has reason
to believe that the legal debt limit was
exceeded in the year 1886 and in order
to determine the true financial condl-
ton of Weber county and also to de-
termine as to whether the debt limit
was exceeded by the former board of
county commissioners.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
board of county commissioners, that
the county clerk and ex-Officio county
auditor be and he is hereby directed to
prepare in detail a statement showing
10 -
Der county in the order in which they
were incurred, commencing with the
beginning of the year 1885 and follow
ing down to Jan. (, 1886. and thence on
until debts and liabilities have been
incurred equal to the taxes of the cur
rent year, taking as a basis for fixing
the time when such debts and liabilities
were incurred the date when the con-
tracts to pay became fixed by law, or
by the approval of the board of coun
ty commissioners, or in any ether way
that may be recognized as legal And,
further. that said county clerk and
eX-ofiicio county auditor be and he IS
hereby authorized and directed to en-
ploy such competent expert assistance,
subject TO the approval of this board.

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Governments Claim Will Be All
Right

Washington, Feb. 11.-At the meet
ing of the house committee on Pacific
railroads TODAY it developed that ex-
pected support for the propositions re-
ported to have been made by Mr.. Hub
bard of Missouri relating to the settle
ment of the government debt had rot
been secured and they could not, there
fore, be longer considered within the
category of possibilities. One of these
was that a New York capitalist, de-
scribed as ''one commanding the larg-
est amount Of spot cash available by
any man in the United States" would
assume the government claim on the
full at 2 per cent interest and allow
per cent of the gross earnings of the
road to be set aside as a sinking fund
to pay off the Indebtedness. This gen
tleman. Mr.. Hubbard said, did not de-
sire now 10 carry out the terms IF the
proposition. The other was that the
railroads running to the Missouri river
at Kansas City. Omaha and Sioux City
would Join in a guarantee of the gov
ernment's claim and jointly operate
the road, offers of two of the roads de-
clared TO be imDracticable.
The committee ordered a favorable
report upon Mr. Harrison's bill provid-
ing Cor a settlement of the roads in
debtedness by a cabinet committee.
