FRANCHISE NOT ILLEGAL
City of Cedar Rapids Enjolned From
Granting franchise to Water

1rautln& Fr6ncn1Se to Water
Works
Cedar Rapids, Feb. 1S.-The copy of
the opinion of Judge John w. n. Treich-
lsr, of the district court, in the case of
i. q. Hall, Christian Magnus and Law
son Daniels vs.. the City of Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa. ct AL, the City Water Com
pany of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Royal
Trust Company and II. Il. Amber trus-
tees, has been received here. The decis-
ion is againts the city. the defendants
being restrained and enjoined from
making any contracts or asserting any
rights hereunder.
The case was the outgrowth of the
action of the city council in passing or
dinance No. Sill. granting TO John H.
Brown and his assigns a franchise to
construct water works system in the
city of Cedar Rapids, and providing
that John II. Brown or his assigns be
paid the sum of ssS,000 a year, semi-
annually, for hydrant rentals. Previ-
Gus to the passage of this ordinance the
council ordered submitted to the people
Il proposition which einbodies the exact
terms of this ordinance as originally IN
troduced, and which provided that the
proposed water works system should
become the property of the city at the
end of twenty-three years. AS the orlli-
nance was amended and finally passed
the section providing for municipal
ownership of the plant at the end of
.wenty-three years was omitted the
franchise granted to Brown without any
Reservation of the citys rights in the
plant at some time in the future.
The case was tried before Judge
Treichler in the superior court room in
this city last September. altho the final
arguments in the case were not sub
mitted until much later date. The
Testimony submitted at that trial is still
fresh in the minds OF the people. The
decision which has Just been handed
Gown, however, will be found of general
interest. 1t is expected that an appeal
will be taken from the decision to the
supreme court and it is probable 1t will
lie several months before a final decis-
lion is reached.

one evening last week may. result in 4,
legal contest between the counties OF
Washington and Muscatine az TO which
is, Responsible for the ch!ld's support.
Max Marbourg, Who took the child,
ssaid that he would give ii a home until

that the mother was not a resident of
Muscatine county and, therefore, ii is
not responsible. IT might be argued

Al the tifne the child Was found, Mus

Rev. Mr. Van Wrinkle intimated that

Near Central City.
Central City. Feb. is. There seems
to be a difference of opinion as to
whether the sickness prevailing in the
Ross neigh borhood, some four miles east
OF this place, is smallpox, chicken pox
or some kindred complaint. For quite a
while past rumors have been In circu-
.lation here, some claiming that it was
surely smallpox and others equally In
sisting that 1t was not. The factssin the
case, as near as can be learned, are as
follows: Five or six weeks ago Perry
Willard, of Marion, went on a visit to
his wife's parents. living in the Ross
sick and DIR. Pherrin Of Prairieburg was
called. who pronounced his disease
chicken pox and treated him thru his
sickness. After fis recovery several
others in the community We're sick with
the same complaint, and rumors would
not down but that II was smallpox.
Nothing authoritative, however, has
been declared and no quarantine has
been maintained, and from what is
known here very little precaution has
been used in that community. On his
recovery Willard returned to his home
in Marion, where he has been since, and
passed thru this place az he went. 9th
ers from that neighborhood have been
here frequently. as there are no restric-
tions.

down and determine whether 1t is small
