The cost of the Boer war to
Great Britain is estimated at
81 ,25O,OOO,OOO in treasure, and
$4,000 soldiers and officers killed
or invaded for life. The British
could have bought South Africa
at retail by the acrSfor about the
amount of money that the war
cost, and saved the lives of her
soldiers. 1t will be long time
before England will jump into
another war without a closer cal
culation than was made for this
affair.

amidship.
The body of Mrs. Seney was carried
100 feet by the engine. 1t was crushed

JUDGMENT FOR }0,26O
Judge Shiras Decides Important
Case Against the City
OF Clinton.
Street Car Company Must Pay
$1,000 OF This Sum for
Paving.
Suit Was Acquired When Clinton
Absorbed Lyons--.Da.es
Back to '93.
Special to Times-Republican.


Clinton. July 5.--A decision by
Judge Shiras in favor of the Burling-
ton Savings Bank of Burlington. VT,
renders Judgment against the city OF
Clinton and the Clinton Street Railway
Company for $50, 26O.1S. The case dates
back eight years when injunction pro-
ceedings by Lyons property holders
prevented levy to pay for certain city
Improvements.
In 1898 the city of Lyons advertised
for bids for Improvements on Sixth
street, the main thorou.hfare and the
street connecting it with Clinton. The
Lyons Construction Company was the
low bidder. When the bids We're opened
it was found the city could not dispose
OF bonds 1t intended to sell in order to
raise money to pay for the improve
l1ent. 1t deferred the letting of Il con-
tract until the following year, when an
award was made to the Lyons Con-
struction Company without advertising.
To pay for the work it issued 100000 OF
bonds. $4,000 of which We're to be
charged to abutting property and $1,000
TO be paid for by a general assessment
to cover street intersection work. The
Burlington bank bought the bonds. The
following year abutting property own
ers brought suit in the state courts to
cnjoin the levying of assessments to
pay off the bonds, taking advantage OF
the fact that the city had not readver-
tised. They secured a permanent in
junction. This was affirmed in the SUI
preme court.
The bonds We're not In the nature OF
the city without provision as to the
fund out of which they should be paid.
Meantime the cities of Clinton and Ly-
ems had been merged. The bank, thru
its attorneys, then commenced suit
in equity against the city of Clinton to
recover all but about $4,000 which had
been paid on the bonds. The federal
court has decided that the city of Clin-
ton must levy tax on the territory
formerly embraced in the town of Ly-
chs to pay SIS, 1876 of the bonds. that
the State Electric Railway Company of
Clinton must pay off $4,000 of the bonds
because of paving between in the rails
and one foot on either side. and that
the Clinton council must pro rate an
assessment against abutting property
to discharge further obligation OF ST.
