DOLLAR PLEADS.
The William Dollar and G. E.

the filing of plea and demurrer to
The Indictments which raise the ques-
ton of statute of limitation. The
discussion OF the case brought out the

There was no question a. TO the
ability and integrity Of the sewer
committee appointed By Chairman Col.
lina Of the late village council until
the new regime was ushered in.
Then something happened. The new
mayor appointed new sewer connie
sion. This may be considered either
In the light Of ignorance ON the part
OF the mayor or incapahility on the
part Of the commission appointed by
Chairman Collina. Since the appoint
ment Of this committee the Law has
been looked up and the po-
sition OF the mayor aasailed. 40
oordIng to the statutes the mayor has
no power to dismiss q sewer commit
tee already formed and at work. The
committee employed an attorney TO
ascertain what right the mayor had
to put them out Of Office. Il was
found that no Law upheld the mayor
In bis action and the committee staid
put. This committee, since its APP
pointment, has had tested the valid
lily Of the sewer law, by employing
attorneys and carrying the case 20 thu
supreme court of the state, where the
bonds and every act Of the board Of
trustees and sewer commission ware
declared legal. This action was neOes-
sary for the reason that bonding com
panIos would not take the bonds un.
I'll the law was tested.
Mr. Blackwell, who hes had charge
of the financial end Of the matter, has
already made arrangements to sell the
bonds at a premium. The commits
sion has further employed Mr..
weile, an expert municipal engineer,

is A NEW PLEA.
Attorney Graves said he was very
anxious to have the question raised
disposed Of this term Of court. He
insisted that he and attorney Gray be
heard prior to any possible arguments
that may be made upon the same plea
in other cases yet to come before the
court.
The fact was brought out 10y the at
torneys and the court that the ques-
tion raised in the plea and demurrer
to the indictment has not, ss far as
any of those present we're aware, ever
been raised before Judge Beatty
while he was on the bench. Judge
DIETRICH said 1t had not been raised
before since he succeeded Judge Beat
ty.
Attorney Graves said the plea and
demurrer to the indictment say in
plain language that there is q statute
of Limitation ON returning indict-
ments for conspiracy as charged In
the timber indictment, and that in
the Dollar and Preston cases that linn
itation has run its course. The gov
eminent does not take that view of
the matter.
1t was finally agreed between
counsel for government and defense
that they we're to agree upon time
when the points at issue could be
argued.

The school board met IN regular
adjourned session last evening at the
high school building. The meeting
was called for eight o'clock sharp
but only three Of the members we're
present at this time. Mayor Scallon
arrived some time after the roll call
which showed Messers Branson aud
Gunderson absent. The meeting was
called to order by j. G. White and
the minutes of the previous meeting
read.
The principal business of the even
ing was the question of bonding for
the building of new school house
either in the east or west end Of town.
The committee which had been ap-
pointed to look up site for the pro
posed building reported ON several,
the most desirable being at the corner
of Military drive and Garden street
This site is larger than that for the
Roosevelt school and can be purchas-
ed at reasonable figure.
The bonding Of the school district
for funds for securing site aud the
erection Of school building Was
brought up. The proposition of
bonding the school district for $40,
900 for this purpose WAS discussed
and 1t was decided to authorize the
clerk to call for vote on the ques-
ton. 1t was decided to hold an
election on Monday May, 27th, from
one to six o'clock p. IN. at the payil-
ion. The judges Of the election and
the clerk will be appoiute5 later. II
is estimated that this amount will
build four room structure and buy
good site.
