Mayor Ensor and other Of the city officers
will appear In Judge Dckinsons court today
to answer the Driscoll mandamus case. This
is whore the assignees Of the judgment have
sued for a writ compelling the city to assess
special tax levy for the purpose Of paying
one-half Of this claim at once An oppor-
tunity is to bee given the city officials to
show why the council should not assess
such special levy at this time II testimony
Is taken some Of the statements in regard
to this case will be decidedly interesting, as
Mayor Ensor has already gone on record
as stating that the claim was fraudulent
and he asserted yesterday that he would so
state to the court If called upon to testify.
This case has attracted more attention in
South Omaha than any other judgment OBJ
tained in years.
The method of obtaining Catherine Drls-
coils signature to the original papers was
reported to be peculiar, TO say the least
and the case has been aired in the news
papers at intervals for the last two years
II 1t comes to showing cause why the coun-
ell should not assess a special levy for the
payment of this claim Mayor Ensor says
that he can give a number of good reasons
In any event It is expected that the city
can arrange matters so that a special levy
will not be necessary

Postmaster Etter has received a letter
from First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath notifying him that on and after July
l of this year all clerks and employees in
first and second class postofices will be
allowed fifteen days vacation in each year
with full pay. This ruling has gladdened
the hearts of the clerks employed in the
postohice here, as prior to this time only
carriers were allowed an annual leave OF
absence The only restriction placed on
TINS order is that the applicant for leave
must have served in the postal service for
one year prior to such application. This
fifteen days leave OF absence is exclusive
OF sundays and holidays Except in the
larger postofIices the government will en-
ploy substitutes to take the place of absent
clerks. As the postoflce here is now being
operated with minimum of help it Is
thought that the government will consent
TO the employment Of substitutes when va
