City Solicitor David J. Keinhardt
last night gave the finance committee
OF City Council a verbal opinion in
the matter Of salary OF Judge Of the
Municipal Court. II was to the eff
feet that T.. r. Cochran. Jr., was
the judge de jure and that the law
appeared 10 be IN favor of paying the
salary to the actual judge. There
were a few decisions the other way,
that is in favor Of paying the man
who actually did the work for the
time he served, nut the preponderance
flaw was the OTHER way. The COM
mittee will now place The name of
Judge Cochran upon the pay rol! for
the time the office was in dispute and
he vii! lie paid the back salary Of the
position, Tie same will probably be
done in the case of S. S. Adams, Jr.,
the clerk Of the City Court, who was
removed by p. q. Churchman while

bound by every consideration governing
human ambition to carry out their work
with vigor judgment and economy, and
with the public good always in view and
uppermost in their thoughts
No sooner had the loan bill become a law
than the anti-improvement faction began
it's work. Meetings in this interest were
held. but they were SHINY attended. The
Star succeeded in showing the animus which
prompted these meetings, but said it was
glad they were held. indicating the char
acter of the opposition, and also tending to
make the final working basis a correct one.
The Star pointed out that the expenditures
were to be made in accordance with
comprehensive plan, which under the old
system of frttering away money from
year to year would have cost ten times as
much for consummation. Then came the
injunction proceedings after Governor Cooke
had negotiated the loan advantageously.
The obstructionists attacked the improve
ment scheme on legal grounds. The Star
declared no good citizen could afford to be
identified with the proceedings The activ-
ity Of the "antis'' stirred the people inter-
ested in the improvements, however, and
August Z, 1871 there was an enthusiastic
mass meeting, when The Star said:
I'VE are to choose between health and
disease between comfort and discomfort;
between the old and the new; between
muddy and dusty streets, with break-neck
cutters reeking with filth, clean, smooth,
well-paved streets with underground drain
age. We are to have hundreds of idle men,
mechanics and laborers, starving in our
midst, or forced to go to other communities
where more enterprise exists with the prod
ucts of their labor, if one policy prevails;
or have these same toilers not only beauti-
flying our city, but creating large trade to
supply their necessities, each with his lit
tie home and family, and each doing his
share toward promoting the growth and
encouraging the prosperity of our city, if
the other prevails. These are important
considerations in making up verdict on
the issue of improvements or no improve
mentS.
There can be no doubt we believe, that
