was also right and just to look after
the interests of those who came from
elsewhere and made investments. A
telephone franchise was a valuable
property and the city should get all
possible for the rights it was asked
to convey. The water company was
a home concern and the stock was all
held by residents Of the city, but for
all that he was prepared to say that
he believed none of the present alder
men was in favor of voting for an
extension of the company's franchise,
which expires in q few years. To
his mind the two cases we're parallel.
Mayor Foster also took a hand in
the discussion. He, too, opposed the
majority report. He believed that the
franchise asked tor vas worth at
least $4,000 and the city should get
that much for it. The offer of the
Montana & Wyoming company
amounted to practically nothing.
When all who cared to be heard had
spoken the roll was called on the
Bouton motion to adopt. 1t was lost
by the following vote:
Aye-Bouton, Brewer, S~chmudlach.
No-Bennighoff, Grein, Sturm, Will
Jams.
Is Sent Back.
Alderman Sturm now moved that
all matters pertaining to the telephone
franchise be referred back to The
committee on ordinances.
Mr.. Williams seconded the motion,
which prevailed. The entire question
will now probably be gone over again
at the next meeting of the council.
Miscellaneous.
The different officers filed their re-
ports for the month of February. They
were referred to the proper commit
tees.
Notice was given of the withdrawal
of the petition of the baptist church,
submitted at the last meeting. The
petition was for permission of the
council to discharge onto the lot own
ed by the society the water from the
baptistry, the church pleading ina
bility to make the necessary sewer
connections at this time.
Specifications were submitted by the
sewer committee for the proposed ex-
tension of the sewer service in the
recently formed sewer district No.
z. They were adopted and the clerk
instructed to advertise for proposals.
Instructions were given the treas
to call in bond No. 5, one of the
%refunding bonds.

Moffett Petition Subject Of Two Re-

Matter Referred Back.

Inability to arrive at an understands
ing prevented action on the part Of
the city council Tuesday evening
when the matter Of the granting of
an extension of the franchise at pres
ent held by the Montana & Wyoming
Telephone company was up for con-
sideration.
A good deal of diversity of opinion
was manifested when the ordinance
committee made it's report on the
company's petition. The difference
it soon appeared was not only con-
fined to the council, but the commit
tee itself could not agree on the
character of report to be returned,
hence there were two-a majority and
minority report.
AS a majority Messrs. Bouton and
Brewer reported favorably on the Pc
tition. AS a minority Alderman
Sturm submitted a report consider
ably at variance with that of his fell
low committeeman. The report of the
majority recommended that the coun-
Gil grant the amended petition of
the company, as handed in at the pre-
ceding meeting of the council.
1t a held by the majority that
the council had no right to modify or
amend the terms of proposals sub
mitted.

the company asks for a 2O-year char

compensation the sum of 5 cents a

SECOND ONE lNTERPosED.
New Demurrer to Amended Complaint
in Condemnation Proceedings.

JNCW DCIUOITCT " StIICsOC0 SOIlRt0ssuS
in Condemnation Proceedings.
Having sustained the demurrer of
the defendants to the original com-
plant entered in the condemnation
proceedings instituted by the Bill
ings Land and Irrigation company
against e. G. Summers, and others,
Judge Loud is now asked to rule on a
second demurrer, submitted against
the complaint as amended in accord
ance with plaintiffs understanding OF
the first rluing of the court.
The second demurrer came up for
hearing last Wednesday and prepare
tions had been made to argue it at
length. Judge Loud found himsell
pressed for time and asked rs a spe-
cial favor that the matter be submit
ted without argument. Consent was
given and it was further consented
that decision might be rendered dur
ing recess.
Demurrer Sustained.
In the matter OF P. B. MOSS VS..
Gwen F. Burla, county treasurer, the
first score was made by the defense.
Judge Loud sustained the demurrer
to the complaint and gave the Gus
tomary time in which to file an
amended complaint.
This action was instituted at the
last term of court and came up on a
petition for a writ of prohibition di-
rected against the treasurer to enjoin
him from selllng at delinquent tax
sale certain real estate belonging to
plaintiff. The property in dispute was
assessed by the county assessor. Sub
%sequently when the county commits
sioners met as a board OF equalization
they made a material advance in the
assessment. When the time arrived
for taxes to be paid plaintiff APP
peared at the treasurer's Office and
paid the amount of taxes due on the
original assessment, but refused to
pay ON the basis of the increase or
dered, by the board. The property
was advertised as delinquent. Be-
fore the sale could be made the court
granted a temporary writ, meanwhile
requiring plaintiff to give bonds in
case final judgment should be against
him.
An amended complaint must now
be filed and then the matter will come
up once more. AS the right of further
demurring still remains with the de-
PENDANT it is hard to tell at this time
when the case will come before the
court in it's finality.
Two judgments by default were rem
dered Wednesday afternoon. The first
was in the case of the Yellowstone
National bank of Billings VS.. Frank S.
Webster. In this instance the decree
is is for $2,O76.50.
The other was in the suit of the
First National bank of Billings against
George P. Watkins, ct al. The bank
was granted a decree for $2,136.63,
the full amount sued for.

WANTS TO KNOW.
Pointed Question Asked by School
Patron.


Patron.
To The Gazette: Will The Gazette
kindly inform me by what right 9
number of the high salaried teachers
in our public schools take the time
of their employers TO chase around
town every school day to look up
items of news for western Montana
papers and then spend additional y
time in transmitting by telephone or
telegraph to those papers? Are these
teachers not paid enough to justify /
them in devoting their undivided at
tention to the position for which the
people employ them?
PARENT.
["Parent" is respectfully informed
that it is the opinion of The Gazette
that dignity for the position and the
rights of the Taxpayers, who foot the
school payroll, are in the cases re
ferred to not considered. These teach
ers against whom complaint is made
are probably here 0 for the pur-
pose of getting all they can financial
ly out of the field than for the pur-
pose of devoting their best efforts to
the work for which the school dis
trict employs them. Parent, should
file complaint in another channel.
The city board of education, which al
ways strives to serve the best inter
ests Of the schools, would no doubt
correct any evil called to the atten-
ton of that honorable body.-Editor.l
