TRACK ALREADY LAID.

In reporting the matter next day The
Post called attention to the fact that the
Southern Pacific had been granted authority
to construct q track which was already laid
and which formed n bone of contention be-
tween the two contestants.
It is unnecessary to recall that The Post
has frequently reported each move Of the
litigauts since the inception of the contro-
versy. so that 1t is fair to assume the pub
lie Is thoroughly familiar with the points at
Issue.
in railroad and legal circles 1t was con
ceded Monday that counsel Of the southern
Pacific had stolen a strategic base and
stood an excellent chance to make homo
RUN.
Observing the trend of affairs and fearing
a possible shutout, the resident officials Of
the International and Great Northern, who
are conducting the campaign, threw them
selves Into the light in earnest. Yesterday
counsel for the Gould rond filed IA petition
In the commissioners court asking the lat
ter to reconsider the action of the last regu-
lar court, presided over by Judge Nnsmcr
on November 10. granting the Galveston,
Harrisburg aud san Antonio Railway com
pauy permission to construct a track oil
Front and I'rio streets ia the town Of Har-
risburg: asking further that the court va
cate the order and leave the matter open
for competition and legal adjustment.
The commissioners court, Judge Duprer
presiding referred the matter TO the county
attorney for an opinion as to its authority
/ to vacate said order the attorney being re
| quested to hlc the opinion this morning.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET.
Peter Weydert's Request for Rebate
is Granted.

The regular meeting of the school
trustees took place at the central
school building on Monday evening.
Those present were Chairman Cort,
Trustees Eldridge, Waite and Mosh.
ner and Clerk Blodgett.
The minutes of the last regular
meeting were read and approved al
ter which Prof. Busenburg addressed
the meeting on several subjects con-
nected with the welfare of the schools.
The bill of T. ]. Tubb for rehtting
one of the lower rooms and ]. W.
Bailey's bill for plastering were laid
over to allow of further inquiry.
The matter of rebate of taxes ask.
ed for by Peter Weydert was then
considered and the clerk stated that
he had instituted inquiries and had
been told by the assessor that the
claim was just, as the sheep on which
the tax was levied were not in the dis.
trict at the time. On these grounds
the board agreed to grant the request
OF Mr.. Weydert and allow him the re-
bate claimed, which was $50 collect.
ed for five mills special tax on $1,000
worth of sheep.
The board expelled Gerald Supre-
nant for bad conduct and general in.
corrigabillty and Prof. Busenburg eN-
planned that the Suprenant boy 5
teacher had expressed her willingness
to give him instruction on Saturdays
if he needed il.
Some discussion took place as to
the adyisnhility OF further dividing
the school district. which matter was
laid over for discussion at some later
meeting.
