John MCMILLAN Interviews in the Sewer
Injunction Case.
CONTRACTORS GOING AHEAD WITH WORK
Hearing on school Board Restraining
order Postponed Until wednes-
day-DeniaI of Allegations
in Petition.

Further history of the petition Of in
Prevention developed yesterday. 1t was
learned that the petition was filed by
John Mcmillan as one of the original
parties in the first deposition. It is re-
ported that James Pivonka, who was one
OF the principal men in the first trial was
about to withdraw from the case now
thu the legislature had permitted the city
to issue additional bonds for the compile
ton of the work This did not satisfy
Mr.. Mcmillan as to the regularity of the
proceedings nor that the interests OF
the city were conserved, therefore, he
brought the petition of Intervention which
| takes the matter practically from the hands
of Pivonka and places 1t in his own. An
effort will be made to make the temporary
| injunction permanent. This will put the
case again on it's merits. The principal
contention in the former case was that
there were not funds enough to complete
the sewer system and therefore it could
not be begun. 1t was generally supposed
that this defect had been remedied by the
recent legislation. It is limited that the
last phase in the checkered history of the
| sewer bonds is the result of some personal
animosity at the beginning of the former
case

had any effect on the contractors, who are
going ahead with the work as fast as
conditions and the scarcity of men will
permit. George Parks. for the National
Construction company, says that many
more men could be used on the Mud creek
sewer. 1t is expected that the mouth Of
the long tunnel will be reached by the
middle Of the month. This is by far the
largest undertaking In the entire system.
The other contractors will soon be ready
to begin the work on other branchs of
the system. Some OF the sewer inspectors
may receive their appointments before long
and the rest will be appointed as needed.
Blank reports to be filled out by these in
spectors covering all details of the work
have been prepared and are at the city
engineers office.
School Board Injunction Postponed.
The school board injunction did not come
to trial as was expected yesterday, but
the matter has been postponed until
Wednesday of next week. This will give
! time still for a decision to be reached be-
fore the term Of the Office of the old board
expires. The contention Of the board is
! that they have the right to elect the teach
ers II they choose and that they propose
no radical changes. In support Of this
list Of teachers they propose to hire. They
maintain that the teachers are exactly the
same as formerly. All these points are
just as vigorously attacked by the other
| side OF the controversy.
