INJUNCTION SUIT BEGUN.
Litigation Commenced in
BURLINGTON Water Works contro-

versy.
Special to Times-Republican
Burlington, June 12.-This city is
promised an interesting bit of litigation
IL the suit brought by citizens to enjoln
the city council from accepting prop-
osition, for which it advertised, for fur
nishing the money witt which to buy
the water works company. The citi-
zens who filed their petition in the dis
trict court Tuesday are w. w. Baldwin,,
William Pilger, James A. Guest, S. III.
Jones, F. S. Churchill, E. Hagemann
a. G.. Oberle, F. o. Grandstaff, E. H
Carpenter Charles Armknecht, William
Gillies, ]. C. Fleming, H. A. Leipziger
and j. W. Topping.
The paper filed is petition in equity
against the city of Burlington, Iowa,
Ii. G. Marquardt, mayor, and the diff
ferent councilmen composing the city
council of this city.
The present water company is bank
rupt, having liabilities in the neighbour
hood of, but not exceeding, 100000, con-
sisting generally of the following:
Capital stock 96,S0O
Water bonds outstanding. $4,000
Floating Indebtedness 36,200
The exact amount of liabilities has
never been agreed upon between the
city and the water company and the
only contract the city has with the wa
ter company for the purchase of the
works is that contained in the ordi-
nance.
The city council wishing to purchase
the water property advertised for bids
for bonding the water works property.
The city of Burlington has no sink
ing fund for the purchase or erection Of
water works and has never levied a
tax to create one, as provided by the
code of 1897.
The total value of all the taxable
property within the city of Burlington.
Iowa, as ascertained from the last state
and county tax lists, is 1885, 306.
The Indebtedness of the cit is now
S23O,367, consisting of $4,000 OF : per
cent bonds, $4,000 of per cent bonds
and $77,367 Of floating Indebtedness.
The petition recites that the PROPOSE
ton to enter into a contract with Hayes
& Sons for money with which to buy
the water works and mortgage or bond
the water works property for 100000
at Az per cent is Illegal because the
property is worth only s360.0O0, and the
city now having reached the legal limit
in it's bonded Indebtedness it has no
to levy additional taxes for a
sinking fund to pay off the mortgage on
the water works property.

SURVEYORS AT WORK.
Illinois Central May Build Thru Cedar
Fails.


Falls.
Special to Times s-Republican.
Cedar Falls, June 12.-During the
rast day or so some strange men have
heen seen in this vicinity driving stakes
and taking measurements with tape
lines and the like. They do not talk,
altho they are not dumb and from the
directions in which they drive stakes
and make measurements they are be-
lieved to be surveyors in the employ of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company
and that they are laying out route for
& new line to connect this city with
the main line of the old Cedar Falls &
Minnesota railroad.
1t will be remembered that this road
was to have carried it's main line
thru this city. but owing to high prices
asked for land it veered off to the
east of the city for a mile and of late
has not been touching this city with
thru trains on the main line. The Busi-
ness Mems Association began a corre-
spondence with the company which re-
suited in an investigation as to the
terms of the original articles of incor-
poration. They provide that the princi-
pal place of business shall be Cedar
Falls and as the articles have never
been amended in any way this binds
the company to touch the city limits,
which they do not now do. They can
accomplish this either by a stub line or
by placing the main line thru here.
Which they intend to do is not known,
as no information whatever can. be

This was supposed to be an accident
and the animal was taken to the shop
and reshod. The next morning the shoe
was again off. The blacksmith re-
peated his work with particular care to
drive the nails well and clinch them
