1t is gratifying TO the friends and aivo-
Gates OF the Cedar river water system to
know that legal proceedings for con-
demnation OF right Of way along the en-
tire line have progressed as far as the
court calendar win allow, and everything
is now in line to bring them to a speedy
and satisfactory conclusion.
The general public perhaps hardy APP
preciates the vast amount Of labor in
volyed in connection with these various
suits. In one corner OF Corporation Coun-
sci Humphreys office a Poss-Inteliigencer
reporter noticed a huge stack of legal
documents what are all these?" he
asked. These" replied Mr. Humphrey.
ARE the petitions and summonses for con-
demnation Of right Of way for the Cedar
river water route from the east line OF
Renton to the city limits"
The dimensions of the stack OF papers
impressed the reporter. He borrowed an
office rule and did a little measuring. The
stack OF papers just as II stood In the
corner measured six feet three inches In
height. and each Of the documents was
fourteen by eight and one-half inches.
There were coo separate copies OF the Pc
tition and summons Each copy contains
twenty-seven pages of closely printed mat
ter. This makes total OF 5000 pages.
As each page Is approximately fourteen
inches long. the pages IL placed end 10
end would reach distance Of 800 yards,
or more than three and a half miles.
These documents are now ready TO be
served on the various owners and Calm
ready been filed in the superior court. and
by the time the sixty days allowed for
the service OF summons by publication
have elapsed all the papers will have
been served.
Meanwhile the condemnation suit for
right Of way from the east line OF Renton
to the source OF the new water supply has
been brought to issue and Is set for hear
ing before Judge Moore on Monday, June
6. 1t will. of course, be tried by jury in
every instance where the owner or claim
ant asks for jury. Judge Moore has in
timated that he will, " necessary, give
the entire week to the case
Still another stage OF progress has = en-
marked in the Cedar river water prKeed-
ings. The case of Falkner VS.. the city
was argued and submitted to the supreme
court on May 8, both Corporation Coun-
sci Humphrey and Incorporation Coun-
sci John X. Brown appearing at Olympia
IN behalf of the city. The case was yes
terday decided In behalf OF the city. and,
as II was regarded as a test suit. many
cases held in allegiance will now DO settled
outside Of court.
All this work has been done since the
new administration came into office With
the serving OF the 600 summonses now
stacked up In the corporation counsers
office the decks will have been completely
cleared In the Cedar river water suits so
far as the law department of the city is
concerned.

James II. Sloan was given a preliminary
hearing yesterday afternoon before Jus
uce Austin on the charge OF assaulting

A NOTABLE VICTORY.
Supreme Court Decides Cedar River
Water Case I'm City's Favor.

A most notable victory was won by the
city of Seattle yesterday In the state SUI
preme court. II was in suit brought by
George NJ. Faulkner against the city OF
Seattle to enjoin the city from entering
into a contract for the construction OF the
Cedar river water system. and from COM
mencing proceedings for the condemnation
OF property necessary TO provide a route
for the pipe lines and reservoir sites. The
action was based upon allegations that the
conditions precedent to obtain the funds
necessary for the Improvement had not
been complied with. and because no ques-
ton OF authorizing a change OF system
was submitted to the voters Of the city:
and also because the city Is already In
debted In an amount, exceeding the limit
authorized by the constitution.
The city through Its counsel denied this.
The case of the city was argued bY Corpo-
ration Counsel ". f. Humphrey and ex-
Corporation Counsel John X. Brown. and
the petitioner and appellant was represent
ed by w T. Scott who was also formerly
corporation counsel.
The action was based almost entirely upon
technical grounds and the only point OF
general interes: was that as 10 the limit
OF Indebtedness. The appellant made a
statement OF the bonded Indebtedness OF
the city, the annual expense of operating
the water works. the annual interest on
that portion Of the debt of the city already
incurred for the water works. and figured
out that the city cannot set aside Is per
cent of the revenues of its water werks
inro the Cedar river water supply fund and
leave enough 10 pay expenses of operating
and maintaining the water system. There
fore he concluded the city il going TO con-
tract an Indebtedness. In reply the city set
up that no money is TO he paid into the spe-
eiai fund until the work is completed and
accepted. Before that can be done II Is CAL
cuiated that the revenue will he so much
greater that the amount agreed upon can
be safely set aside. IL was argued that

posed extensions completed. accepted by
