SUIT OVER LIQUOR PERMIT.
Kline q Son Would Restrain Moran
From Enforcing u License Fee
OF S300-0rdinance Ques
toned.

In the district court yesterday L.
b. Kline a. Son of Moran, who run a
drug store under the firm name of
Kline & Son, brought suit to restrain
the city of Moran from enforcing a
recently passed ordinance which seeks
to compel the payment of $500 annual
city license by any druggist selling
liquor under permit from the pro-
bate court.
Mayor j. j. Warner and the five
members of the city council, are the
defendants and the legality of the or
dinance in question is attacked. The
plaintiiflsays that on November 2S,
1900, they secured from the probate
court druggists permitto sell liquor
for medicinal purposes. On August
l3 1901. the city council passed an
ordinance fixing a city license at $500
per annum in the desire to prohibi
this permit beingused. At the council
meeting when the ordinance was
passed four councilmen were present
and one absent. Two voted for the
ordinance, two against it and the
mayor then cast the deciding vote foi
the ordinance. 1t was then pro
nounced passed and printed in the
Moran Herald. The city is said TO be
free from debt and in excellent finan
cial shape and the tax thus attempted
to be levied is exorbitant and prohibi
tive. 1t was passed, moreover, in az
Illegal manner, and the plaintiffs asl
the district court to restrain the cit!
from enforcing it as the profit from tn,

How About Home Industries q?

lola people pretty generally know
about the lola Concrete company
which is composed of lola men, EN-
ploys lola men and pays out all its
money in lola. Its purpose is to build
walks and bridges and curbing using
lola stone and lola cement. Its walks
have proven successful and it says it
can make beautiful, substantial and
cheap bridges. All it wants is a
chance to prove this and these bridges
are likely to become popular in this
part of the country.
Recently the county commissioners
let contract for IA bridge over the
Marmaton river. They know about
what such bridges generally cost and
figured on Sl400 as the cost of this one.
But, Lo and behold. The iron bridge
men. learning that the cement men
were going to bid, took the contract
for that seventy-foot span for 800.
This will make the total cost of the
bridge about Sl0l0. AS evidence that
this is low the county commissioners
of Woodson county wrote the other
day tothe county clerk inquiring if the
REGISTER correctly reported the fig
ures, they never having secured such
low price.
Fortunately the Concrete Company
has secured the contracts for several
bridges for the Electric railway and
can thus demonstrate their ability.
And even if they never get county
job they surely merit the thanks of
the tax payers for putting in IA wedge
in county bridge building that mas
forced the iron men to shave their
prices four or five hundred dollars.

Mr.. Baumhoff, who has the contrac

the machinery for the power house and
it will be ready to install as soon as u
gas well is developed the site of the
building thus definitely located, and
the house itself built. The machinery
will be new and powerful, and there
will be "a surplus of electric power
generated that will make an incandes-
cent system possible in town, as we'll
as electric fans. The whole plant is
being built of the best materials and
ought to prove very excellent sys-
tenn.
Ties are now scattered for the two
curves on the west side of the square
