INTEREST NOT UP TO CITY
Proceeds on Claims of Outside Persons Not
Chargeable to Municipality.
SUCH is DECISION OF Mr.. BREEN
Demand for Opinion on Subject
Grows Out of Refusal of Grant
to Accept warrants,
Face Value.

City Attorney Breen has given the city
treasurer a written opinion in which he
lays down the rule that the city cannot
be held responsible for interest on claims
which have been held up by litigation
started by outside persons
The demand for an opinion on the sub
Ject grew out of the refusal of John Grant
general manager for the Nebraska Btu
lithic company, to accept the face value Of
the warrants for paving and paving repairs
in 1901, just released under an agreement
among the warning paving contractors
Grant requested $642 interest, or at the rate
OF per cent on all the warrants, and the
treasurer promptly refused to pay it..
The matter was Immediately taken up
with the legal department and the city
attorney lost no time in expressing his
views He says positively that there is no
warrant or authority for holding the city
liable for the interest in such cases, which
grew out of the bitter fight between Grant
and the Barber Asphalt company. Using
one case as an example, he shows that a
warrant for $S,295 for 1904 paving repair
work was ready for payment September
2l, 1904, the claim having been allowed by
the council. competing contractor,
Charles E. Tanning, filed notice of an ap-
peal from the allowance of the claim and
was restrained from paying over the
money, although 1t had the cash on hand
| to do so.
Agree to Dismiss the Case.
Whereas the Barber company had about
| $4,000 worth of Grants claims tied up, the
latter got the bars put up on over $4,000
| coming to the former. Matters hung this
way until the other day, when 1t was
agreed to dismiss the cases and let the
4 money get into circulation. The Barber
/ people up to this time have made no claim
! for interest, but Grant did He complains
| that the law requires the person making
the apI cal to put up a bond covering the
costs of the case only, leaving no one ex-
cept the city vulnerable for the interest
Attorney Breen points out that II Grants
claims for interest were recognized as
valid there would be nothing to prevent
persons having claims against the city to
file appeals against one another and make
a sort of investment deal with the exces-
sive per cent interest rate as the booty
| He says the city is not interested at all
! was willing and anxious to pay its debts
but was prevented from doing so through
no fault of its own, and he does not pro-
| pose to let II hold the sack for warning
| contractors, II he can help IT.
More litigation may grow out of the city'i
refusal TO pay the interest, and the ole
game Of blockade and dog in the mangei
tactics may be started again among the
paving firms.

1T is extremely doubtful whether many

I'm my opinion, based upon the reports

Well water, however. should always be

GETTING OFFENSIVE
TO DECENT PEOPLE

The man and woman, with a baby
carriage and baby, who have been
bowling on the principal thorough
fares of the city, both day and night,
the past week, are becoming offensive
to decent people in their language;
more especially is the complaint made
against the man. If they believe re-
ligion demands insult, in order to
make converts, they are sadly mis-
taken, and officer Knapp politely, but
firmly informed the man, in the midst
of his TRADE for sO-called religion, that
blasphemy and indecent utterance of
words would not be tolerated. The
man had just ceased heaping vitupera-
tion upon those who indulge in the
delightful pastime of smoking cigars,
and other innocent vices, in which he
used language unbecoming a man,
otherwise than a man who is trying
to uplift the sinner, when the officer
appeared and put stop to the ut
terance of words that are seldom used
in dives or any house of infamy

duct on the street, and City Marshal

was securely nailed up, lay for some

Loew married deaf-mute daughter of
Lonas Somehow, retired millionaire
merchant, who lives in West Eighty
sixth street, and has two children, the
son, strange to say, being deaf-mute
like his parents, it being unusual for
the affection to descend from one
generation to another. Young Loew,
however, became deaf-mute through
illness and not as a direct inheritance.
Their daughter, beautiful girl of Is,
possesses the faculties of both speech
and hearing. One of Mrs. Loew's sis
