CIty Cases.

Creston American The costs
piled up in the two cases
against the city for damages
from defective sidewalks will
aggregate some $3.50. The
cases referred to are those of
Maverick and Bell Carter VS..
the city of Creston. In the
former case there did not APP
pear to be any cause of action
against the city whatever. In
the latter the jury disagreed
and the case will have to be
tried over again.
The county which primarily
pays the court expenses will
have to pay about half these
costs and the city the other
half. Of course the taxpayers
pay it.
There is still another case
pending and more costs will
probably result.
These suits ought to impress
the taxpayer with the import
ance, first of having good side
walks and upholding the coun :
Gil in it's efforts to replace dam
gerous and worn out walks with
good ones, and secondly to
frown down attempts of parties
and attorneys to work up cases
that have no merit in them,
against the city for the purpose
of getting business and per-
chance a contingent fee.
1t is generally known that
the average jury is inclined to
sympathize with the injured
individual and in these cases it
is necessary for the city to
make almost impregnable de-
Tense if it wins. The question
of doubt is universally solved
by the jury in favor of the in
dividual, the jury reasoning
that the city can afford to lose
better than the injured party.
Parties who are really in
.jured by the negligence of the
city to furnish safe sidewalks
are justly entitled to damages.
Against such just claims the
American has no words of CEN
sure but if the city is to be
made the victim of mulct from
everyone that gets hurt on our
streets regardless of the cause
it is time the taxpayers were
aroused to a realization of the
situation. The parties gener-
ally have nothing to lose in
such suits. They cannot and
do not pay the costs when they
are beaten. The city loses even
when it wins, because it has the
costs to pay.

them to be less binding than strong

this practice In 1917
Silver was more frequently used than

IGORROTES DOING WELL
GOV. PECK, OF BENGUET PROVINCE,
REPORTS EXCELLENT CONDITIONS.
Their Prompt Compliance with Sani-
tary Orders-Thrift and Industry
Another Outbreak Is QueIIed.

WASHINGTON, May 31-William F.
Peck. Governor of the Igorrote province of
Benguet, in his report to The Bureau of
Insular Affairs of the War Department for
the year 1902, says his administration has
been marked by manifest contentment on
the part of the people and hearty cooper
alton Of the officials. A year ago the best
roads were but trails, but since then they
have been repaired and new ones con-
structed, until now the Governor says he
can ride over at least 200 miles of road
with perfect safety and comparative ease.
This work was lone without cost to the
government. In addition to this labor,
there were continually employed on the
Benguet wagon road from go to 500 Igor
rotes from Benguet province, who received
from 40 cents a day up, in insular currency.
The Governor, speaking of the cholera,
says he deemed ii essential TO stop the
practice the Igorrotes have of gathering
about the afflicted and holding feasts and
sacrificing animals or birds. The prompt
ness with which the people complied with
this order and with those designed to stop
travelling from one pueblo 10 another. he
says, was a most satisfactory proof of
their confidence and regard for the Ameri-
can government. Notwithstanding the chol-
era and the smallpox, the Governor says
that in travelling about the province he
hnds new houses, new rice fields, new cof-
fee plantations, gardens n clean yards
and other evidences of thrift and industry.
