CITY WINS ALL
 POINTS BUT ONE
In Injunction Case Judge Holds City Can Incur no Further Indebtedness--Opinion Rendered Allows City Right to Dispose Of Its Electrical Power.

"Just what those asking for the franchise contemplate, l, of course, am not in a position to state, but with the legal right Co sell our electric power it seems to me to be only a matter of whether or not tho people vote favor. ably upon the franchise proposition for Prescott to soon have an opposition electric light plant in operation"
 In the Judgc's opinion, which will be handed down in writing, today, every point of tho injunction was dis. solved with the ono exception ns stated above, that of the right of the City to incur any further indebtedness in building municipal electric light plant, or of incurring any further in- dcbtcdncss whatever.
 The bonded indebtedness of the City at present is $441, ,26I.oo, and the float ing indebtedness approximately s27,oOo.

SUIT
 DECIDED TODAY
Jud ee Listens to Arguments of Attorneys On Demurrer and Will Render An Opinion Today---Attorney General Clark's Contentious.

legal notice of the place selected foe the holding of the polls was fatal error for the reason that the ptatuts made the duty of giving such notice mandatory. In support of the demur- N' 2azucy General Clark raised thres objet"ons to the complaint, as fol- lows:
 First-That the action of the Bossd of Canvasscrs in counting the retusss of Prescott precinct, North, under tAs circumstances alleged in the complaint, did not constitute malconduct, for tho reason that the Board of Supervisors acted purely in n ministerial capacity and are compelled Co canvass tho rs- turns if the same appear to be regular on their face. The Board cannot 70 behind the returns nor inquire whether any officer has omitted or neglected to perform any duty in connection with the election. Even though the Board knew that no legal notice designating the polling place had been given it would still bc it's duty to canvass the returns from any precinct established by law. It would be malconduct on the part of the Board if it failed to do SO.
 Sccond-Tbat such omissions of duty as were charged against tho Board of Supervisors, Justice of tho Peace and Board of Election tn the complaint do not constitute any ground for contcsting m election under tho laws of Arizona, no such ground baing specified in the statutes.
 Third-That even though the acts and omissions charged might bc ss- sumed, for tho sake of argument, to constitute n ground for contest,
 inasmuch as the complaint fails to 'oyo that the failure of notice had res. [ in any injury or had deprived the c.ee- tors of m opportunity to vote or that fair expression of the will of tho great body of electors in tho precinct had been thwarted, there was no cause of action as stated in inc complaint.

Judge Sloan listened yesterday to tho arguments of counsel in the matter of the demurrer to the election contes, case recently instituted by R. P. Tal bot, with the object of throwing ou, Prescott precinct, North, from the of fcial count, thereby unscating Distric, Attorney R. F.. Morrison. The cour, took the matter under adviscmcnt until today, when decision will be rend cred.
 IL is set up in the complaint upon which the suit is based that the Board of Canvassers, in canvassing the re- turns on November 70, wns guilty of malconduct in counting the returns from Prescott precinct, North, for the reason that the Board of Supervisors failed to designate n polling place in the precinct where the election should be held, and that the Justice of th, Peace and Election Board had likcwis, failed to give legal notice of the place where the election should be held.
 The counting of the vote of the pre- cinct, under the circumstances, wns al legged to be malconduct on the part of the Board of Canvassers, but thcr, was no other ground for contest sci forth in the complaint.
 Under the Territorial statutes maj conduct on the part of the Board of Canvassers is made ground for con test.

(From Saturdays Dsily.)

Yesterday, in the District Court, Judge Sloan rendered an opinion in the matter of the temporary injunction secured by Frank l.. Wright against inc City of Prescott, restraining them from proceeding with the work of building n municipal electric light plant In the Judges opinion, he raised nll of the injunction points with inc single exception of the one relating to the City incurring any further debt, which practically prohibits the City building the light plant, or, for the matter of that, incurring any further indebtedness of any kind whatsoever, as the Judge held that under what is known as the Harrison Act, the City had "gonc it's limit
 In his opinion Judge Sloan stated that there was nothing to prevent the City selling any excess electric power it might have on hand, but that it could not construct distributing plant of it's own. unless inc money should be given tho City for this purpose. as no further debt could bc legally incurred by the City.
 The result of this opinion, in the minds of tho various City officials, contains great possibilities. When in. formed of the opinion, Mayor Gold. water, in conversation with Jour. nal-Mincr representative, said:
 eff the Judges opinion has been quoted to me correctly, namely, that the City can incur no further obliga- tions, it appears to me that Prescott IS 'up against it.
 "You can say for me, if that is the Courts opinion, that those crossings on have no money to build them, and can. not incur any further debts. The grad ing of Mount Vernon street will not take place; we can incur no further debts; the sewer and manholes contem' plated will not he built--we can incur no further debts; in fact, the City is at n standstill, for the present, as fan as any improvements of any kind arc concerned, and according to tho Judge ' opinion, as l understand it. about th' only thing we could go into debt foI would be to fight an epidemic of smal pox, or something of the kind, and it'' doubtful if even that, under the inter prctation of the opinion rendered would be permissible.
 c. C. Glass, superintendent of thu City water works, stated that in hi opinion the conclusions of Judge Sloal were somewhat of n triumph for thu City.
 According to the opinion,' sai' Mir. Glass, "we can sell our surplu electric power. which, after all, is th main thing. While the Judges opin ion restraints the City from contractinI any further debt, in the building of distributing system, or anything else it gives the city the right to dispos of it's electric power,and in the even that the franchise question is vote on favorably by the voters at the con ing election, company can be orgar ized to build distributing system an the City can sell this company cleetri energy.

Igorots and other non Christian or un. civilized tribes, there have been peace and good order except for the inclina. tion for occasional rcprisals on the part of the people of one municipality on another.

Occasion. ally interruptions agitators in one prov. incc or another cndeavor to get up dis. turbances among the ignorant people, and such an occurrence took place re. gently in ono of the Ilocano provinces, but information was readily brought to the authorities by peace-loving citizens and tho matter assumed no importance.

SACRAML4, 10, Dec. 23.--That there is
to be great reduction of the force en-
ployed in the local railroad shops after
the first of the year was admitted today
by officials of the company, who say
that the retrenchment is to be general
on the Hartman system.
In an Interview, an official who is in
position to know whereof he speaks, said:
THE orders for the general lay off
Christmas week came from New York,
not from San Francisco, and applies to
the entire system, not Sacramento alone
1t is purely an economical measure. paw
ing the way for reduction of force. All
construction work on the roads has
ceased; construction trains, crews. build
ing crews and section crews have been
laid off for the winter.
"The company will retain only enough
men to keep the cars rolling; work or
tho roads will be done only in cases of
emergency. Where large crews have been
busy on sections, wa .chmen and patrols
only will remain.
No Fight with Unions
IF there is any preparation for q con
1ict with the unions we know nothing
about it. the matter is not handled In
this office. There will be a reduction
of the force in the local shops after the
first of the year for several reasons.
''First-Every winter there is a cut in
the construction department Where
during the summer, for example, 1000 cars
are kept in repair, there are now but hal.
as many. 1t stands to reason that 1t re-
quires less men to keep the smaller num-
ber rolling
"Second-The financial unrest, although
the holidays in this state have ceased, iS
general. The company will lay out no
more money than necessary. and i'm this
is following she lead of all other branche;
of business. Then 1908 is presidential
year, and there Is some uneasiness in
the corpora tions on that account.
''Third-The company has been manu-
featuring material and equipment for a
year ahead. The work in the machine
department and tire blacksmith shops IS
always for many months ahead. There
is enough material of all kinds in the
shops and y: rds to last the company for
a year at least.
Cuts Down Force
II cannot say how great the reduction
will be, nor how long it will last. 1t g
not local, however, an. has no bearings
on conditions brought about by demands
of local unions The company is simply
cutting down the force in every depart
ment for the purpose Of cutting down
expenses.
about that fence and the buildings
which are being erected in the yard back
of the shops, 1 know very little excepc
that the houses were ordered blfilt several

is being rusned to completion so that
