Want to Stop His pav

Preliminary steps have been taken
to appeal to the district court the matt
ter OF payment of the last amount al
lowed by the city council to Expert
accountant Donaldson under the con-
tract he was working under for the
city, amounting to s734.5O. Fifteen
citizens, including the members of the
council OF 1899, have signed the peti-
tion. The reason for their action ia
said to be that they believe the charq-
es excessive, and they hope to succeed
in proving the contract null and void
because it is alleged that the same was
drawn contrary to the provisions of
the city charter governing the letting
OF contracts. A big string of litiga-
tlon Is thus in sight for the city.
