That claims against the city Of Council
Bluffs. a~ggregating over $4,000. were set
tied for about s1,io0. is shown by the re-
port Of City Solicitor Glen +. Kimball for
the year ending April l. 1905. which he
has Just completed. The total num-
Der OF cases which demanded the atten-
ton Of Mr.. Kimbsll was twenty-seven.
and several Of. these involved questions
OF Importance TO the city.
In closing his report Mr.. Kimball says:
/ am pleased to report that. as shown
by the foregoing statement. the city has
had no money judgments rendered against
IL for personal injuries or injuries to prop
erty during the last year. except those
cases which have been settled. The settle
ment OF these cases has been. in my judy
ment. to the advantage of the city and for
small sums compared with the amount in
volved in the suits. The city has had two
verdicts at the hands of a jury and one de-
cision in Its favor In which the jury was
waived. From the foregoing 1t will be OBJ
served that claims against the city aggre-
eating over $4,000 have been settled by an
expenditure Of slightly over SLIGO. From
this condition OF the litigation of the city
It Is evident that the judgment fund will
not be drawn upon very heavily during the
next year.

permission from the city council to
establish several instruments in Lex

realizes that the Lafayette Tele-

in Lexington and that he has no idea
of attempting to put in a COM

ed recently and has a local system at
Higginsville, 80 subscribers on the
Borland line, 12O on the Robbins line
and 300 in Corder. 1t also has SER
