Des Moines Plan Waits.
There is much concern among the people
OF the city just now over the fact that the
supreme court is delaying a decision of
an appealed case involving the validity Of
the Des Moines plan of municipal govern
ment. A case was made up and rushed
through the lower courts with a view to
having all questionable matters settled be-
fore the election in the spring and the su-
preme court is due to make a decision any
day; but as the days pass and the court
does not state what il will do or give any
indication of acting. the fear is expressed
that no decision viii be made in time. n
the court does not decide the matter until
after the city election, and then decides
adversely the city will be in a serious pre-
dicament.
