fort TO prevent the legislature from
giving bills immediate effect.

constitution provides that no bill shall
take effect until 30 days from the end
OF the session except that the legisla-
ture may give immediate. effect toe at

The committee. consisting Of Jonn
McGillis and A. Z. Robbins appointed
to check up the Faikenau contract
made its report at the last meeting OF
the council and II fell with a thud on
the nerves OF those who have been sup
porting the contractors In their con-
duct Of affairs here
The discrepancies shown In the pay
rolls didn't amount TO enough to talk
about. A few dollars the committees
total was $3.50 but there were some
credits that turned up since that were
not given which would pull that
amount down to less than $50. was all
that revealed tself from that quarter.
IL was in the matter of hanaling the
bills for purchases Of merchandise that
tho most objection was found. Instead
of sending back vouchers for each in
voice the Falkenau people sent checks
to the firms of various amounts; for
instance; the contractors purchased
merchandise OF Crear. Adams 4 Co,
amounting to $4OO for the city, Crear
Adams rendering invoices for each
parcel OF merchandise when it was
shipped. Instead OF sending a voucher
for these invoices the Falkenau people
sent along cancelled cnecks amounting
to about 5000, showing that they had
paid Crear, Adams a. Co. that much
money but how much WAS paid them
for merchandise shipped to the city Of
Crystal Falls couldn't be determined
from them. In some cases the cancelled
checks amounted to more than the
bills. in others less
The committee found that the bills
contraced In the month OF November
and for which the Falkenau people
have drawn the money from the city
still remain unpaid. That the labor
pay roll for December was unpaid
That is the roll that Walker was 20
have SEN checks from Chicago for
before Christmas.
The Falkenau people were given an
order for the amount of this roll upon
their promise TO pay but payment was
stopped when IL was found that the
bills were yet to be paid.
The councilmen brooded over the
showing for couple OF hours and fin-
ally ordered the committee TO send a
copy Of their findings to Chicago and
ask the Falkenau people for an ex-
PLANTATION as 10 why the bills had not
been paid, why the labor had not be IN
paid for December. why vouchers had
not been sent for all bills and why GER
tain pay checks had been deposited 10y
them to their own credit
The committee noted that no cancel
cd checks for Walkers salary nor Mr..
Kline salary were presented
ON Tuesday Iron County National
Bank presented a draft on the city for
$3.50 in favor OF the Falkenau people.
Notwithstanding the committed report
showed only 1915 dus them and that
the mayor held 4 message authorizing

CIRCUIT COURT DOCKET
IN BAD SHAPE
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CASES
MAY HAVE TO BE RETIRED
AT LITIGANTS' EXPENSE

The civil docket in the circuit court
seems to be in a chaotic condition,
owing principally to the resignation
OF Judge Mcbride. After completing
the February term OF court several
cases had been argued and submitted
and taken under adyisement Among
the most important cases were the
Tallant Grant Packing Co., against
the City Of Astoria which has been
before the court nearly three years.
Additional evidence was taken and
the case taken under advisement. The
case will now have to be tried over.
Three or more years ago, Leandcr
Lcabcck improved Bond street the
contract price being about $1,000. The
city was enjoined from collecting the
assessments and in the meantime Mr..
Leabeck has been out his money.
His only recourse now is TO sue the
city, as the work was done contract
and if the property owners avoid
payment, he claims he ought not to
lose.
Another important case is John
Hahn against the Astoria National
Bank TO recover $4,000 This case has
also been before the court for long
time and at the February term was
argued partially and was to have
been completed at ST. Helens. A
yolumnious mass Of testimony was
taken in the case at cost Of several
hundred dollars, As no decision was
rendered the case will have to be
retired at a large expense to the liti-
gants.
Another case is the Calender Navi-
CATION Co, against Thomas Linville
as sheriff, a suit to enjoin the sheriff
from collecting the taxes on the
steamers owned by the Calender
Company, the total amount aggregat-
ing $1,000 and which sum is now
charged against Sheriff Pomeroy on
the assessment roll and was the al
legged deficiency found by the experts
when the books were exported. Sew
eral other demurrers and motions
we're argued and submitted and taken
under advisement but no decision
rendered II is these facts which has
placed the docket in an unsettled CON
dition making more work for the at
torneys and more cost to the liti-
gants. 1t is probable after Governor
Benson appoints the new Judge for
this. district a special term OF court
will be convened and an attempt
made to clear up the tangled mess,
Judge Campbell will be the presiding
Judge Of the district and the new ap-
pointee will be assigned either to
certain counties or TO the law or
equity cases, probably as may be
agreed upon between the two judges.
