JUDGE sTALLCUP,s COPYING BILL.
II Turned Down Because the Expense
Was Unnecessary.

Special Dispatch to the Observation-Disclosures.
TACOMA, Jan. 29.-From the action OF
the finance committee of the city council
in refusing to allow the expense of making
copy of the warrant record the bill for
which was presented by Assistant City At
torney John c. Stalicup, and judging from
City Attorney Judsons statement in the
matter il appears the chief ard his first
assistant in the legal department are not
on terms OF closest intimacy in business
way. Mr.. Judson explains that had AS
sistant Stallcup come TO him for informa-
ton before having this copy made he
would have been saved the expense Of it
and the other incident upon attempting to
collect the cost from the city.
To the finance committee the city attor-
ney said that he himself had already two
copies of the warrant record and he saw
no need OF adding a third copy al an addi-
tional expense TO the city. The fact that
this record concerns all the warrant suits
and contentious in which the city Is en-
tangled makes any move in the matter
one of more than passing interest. Ger
tain members of the council are rather
anxious to learn If the one copy ordered
made by Judge Stallcup is the only one
copied from the valuable record of late,
but their anxiety is made light OF by the
city attorney, who says there is nothing
of secret nature in this record. He fur
Their says he is quite willing to furnish
any warrant holder of Importance mean
ing one who holds any considerable num-
Der OF warrants. with copy Of the city's
record.
His plans in the warrant suits provide for
the city assisting any holder of good war
rants in recovering their money rather
than in opposing them. Hence, ne de-
clares. that the city's warrant record may
be considered an open book TO any such
innocent holders OF valid warrants.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intelisencer.
TACOMA, Jan. PA common case of
measles is agitating the minds of city
and county authorities. A strange but a
few days from Yakima was brought to
the police station with an eruption on his
face and body, which the doctors declare
TO be measles. Because the man is not
a resident of Pierce county the county Of
ficials decline 10 take care of him. and for
the reason that the city has no place 10
put him the municipal officers will have
nothing 20 do with him
In the meantime the poor fellow is
locked in squalid room at police head
quarters, where there are no facilities for
caring for him. and every officer on The
force IS fearful of waking up with the
measles. The bare suggestion that the
man might have some infectious disease
worse than measles sends a cold shfver
down the backs OF those in charge at the
station. What is 10 be done for the
stranger is yet undecided, but from the
wagon driver to the chief every man on
the police force IS anxious To be rid of
him.

TACOMA LAND COMPANY DEFENDS.
Tries to stave On the Proceedings to
Foreclose a Mortgage ON Its Land.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA, JAN 3-The answer filed to-
day by the Tacoma Land Company in It's
suit as defendant TO the Providens Lie ana
Trust Company. of Philadelphia. shows
that the local company will make des-
perate effort to win the case. The action
Is one OF foreclosure on all OF the property
owned here by the land company, which is
valued at several million dollars. The
heavy interests at issue and the figure cut
in the history OF Tacoma by the land COM
pany makes the suit Of unusual interest,
and the fight which is now begun Will be
closely watched
There is tinge Of sensationalism IN the
answer. which is verified by Manager /.
w. Anderson. and which is made up OF
twenty-five paragraphs. the majority or
which are deniais OF the allegations In the
complaint. Ii is declared that the fore
closure suit Is brought by plaintiff solely
as the holder OF defendants bonds, ana IN
the interest of plaintiff and not, as alleged,
as the trustee under the mortgage or at
the request of any OF the holders OF any OF
the remainder of the bonds further, that
on the contrary. the action is against the
wishes of the bondholders other than the
plaintiff.
The company admits that bonds In the
sum of $4,000 were sold, that $4,000 in
bonds were delivered to c. u. Wright as
collateral security for his Endorsement on a
note OF the company in that amount; that
100000 in bonds were delivered 10 The land
company by the plaintiff company as trus-
tee. and later, at intervals. delivered back
TO the Provident company as collateral
security for notes of the land company.
amounting in all 10 100000. upon which In
terest was paid to November, 1896.
The company enters a denial with REFER
ence TO the interest DUE claiming ii was
not in default on this score at the time the
suit was begun. The question OF taxes.
upon which the suit is practically based.
is also touched upon in the answer. 1t is
admitted the taxes for part of 1895 and all
of 1896 have not been paid, but 1t is denied
that the land company ever agreed with
the plaintiff company. as trustee, to pay
said taxes. 1t is denied that anything Is
now due on the bonds held by plaintiff as
collateral security and it is averred that no
bondholders have requested the Provident
company to declare due the principal OF
the bonds, nor have any asked the trustee
TO bring foreclosure proceedings or enter
upon the Inortgaged premises and sell the
same.
The suit may mean a great deal to the
operation of the companys plans. how
ever it results. The success of the plain
tiff is equivalent to an entirely new local
management, while. should defendants
win the case, q new policy in keeping with
the changed conditions resultant upon the
outcome of the suit is not at all improb-
able.
