INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Perry to Have an Electric Light
Plant and Mill.
Will Take the ThompsOnville
Plant and Dam.

Emporia, Kas., Dec. 6.-The injunction
suit filed in the district court in regard
to the Carnegie library site promises to
bring forth a number of things in this
connection It is brought in the name of
]. ]. Wright, plaintiff, VS.. the City Of
Empcria, H. B. Morse, mayor, the coun-
ell members, and w. 7. McCarty, county
attorney.
The petition of the plaintiff begins
with stating that Carnegie offered $780,
600 for a library building on condition
that the city furnish a site and keep UP
the library after it was built. 1t then
goes On to say that Mrs. c. S. Plumb
offered site consisting of lots rs and ~
on Market street. and that at a meet
ing of the council the offer was present.
ed, considered and accepted by a. unan-
imous vote. The plaintiff alleges that
by this acceptance contract was
formed which is legal and binding.
The allegation is also made that Mrs
Plumb expended $4,000 in getting these
lots and that she did so with the in
tention of getting the library located
on them. The petition then goes on to
state that t--a council voted to change
the site, and in so doing would have 10
spend $500, and in order to do things
properly would have to spend $1,000
later
This $4,000 would be expended if the.
CONSTITUTION street site were maze equal
to that on Market street. as another lot
would have to be purchased.
The further allegation is made that
the council intended to take this money
from the scity funds. which would make
a burdensome tax on the people; and
Furthermore, that the money in the city
treasury is there for different purposes
than to buy library site and its ap-
preparation for that purpose would be
Illegal and unconstitutional. Further,
that a change from the site offered by
Mrs. Plumb would be imparing the OBJ
legations of the contract> which is al
legged to have existed since the accept
ance of Mrs Plumb's offer
The plaintiff prays that the city be
restained from using any other site than
the one Mrs. Plumb offered, and further
that IT be compelled to begin erection
at once of the library on that site
An application fer an injunction has
been granted by Judge Madden. This,
of course. is only temporary one, but
will stop proceedings for awhile.

submitted to the western roads today
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
to advance live stock rates from the
Missouri river to Chicago from II cents
a hundred pounds to 1S14 cents.
All the roads. it is said, have signified
their willingness to accept this rate as
far as it applies to shipments west of
Kansas City. but they decline to make
a less rate than 2312 cents from Kansas
City proper to Chicago. The Santa Fe,
however. will apply the 1919 cent rates
not only on shipments from points west
of Kansas City. but from that point
Last August, when the Chicago Great
Western made its contract with Kansas
City packers and reduced the packing
house product rate from 2311 to 1912
cents, the Atchison reduced the live
stock rate both from Kansas City and
from points west thereof to II cents a
hundred rounds The other lines did
not meet the II cent rate from Kansas
City, but did apply it from territory
west OF Kansas city. THIS discrimina>
ton caused the recent hearing before

Citizen. If the cut off is to be built by
way of La Joya, these improvements
would be unnecessary, as the road would
cross the Rio Puerco on the Rio Grande

second crossing of that treacherous bridge

Puerco bridge abdtments The foreman
of the gang was here yesterday to confer
with Charles j. Lantry, of the firm. who
firm also has contract work on the Strong
City branch of the Santa Fe. Mr.. Lantry
said that they were going to bid for the
building of the cut off and as they are
in favor with the Santa Fe, the chances
for getting the job are good. Mr.. Ian
try as good as said that the road would
go by way of Belen, for he did not deny
that his firm were to bid on the building
of the road across the Rio Grande at that
place It is not yet known what DISPOSE

but it is very likely to make it quite a STA
