WATER BOARD CASES HANG
Two Injunction suits in Federal
Court Are still Being Con-
sidered BY Judge.

The decision In the application Cor tenn
porary injunction to restrain the Water
board OF the city OF Omaha from putting
into force the order reducing the meter
rates to Is cents per thousand gallons hangs
fire in the United States circuit court.
Judge Munger still has the matter under
advisement, however.
The application of the Water board for
temporary injunction to restrain the
water company from including in its APP
praisement its South Omaha, Benson and
Dundee appurtenances also was taken UNI
der advisement by Judge Munger. The at
torneys for the water company stated to
the court that they would not resist the
application. The motion has been contin-
ued for several days with no definite date
set for final hearing and the water COM
pany will be given reasonable time TO
reply
The delay has been caused through the
court being otherwise engaged and Judge
Munger was moved to remark that, 1T
would be unconstitutional to hold court
during such weather as has prevailed dur
ing the past several days"
