BOND ISSUE TEST
CASE IS STARTED
JUDGE POLLOCK HEARS APPLI.
CATION FOR INJUNCTION THIS
,AFTERNooN--A "sNAP" JUDO
MENT IS EXPECTED TO HASTEN
THE PROCEEDINGS.

Summons and complaint in an ac-
tion entitled Max Stern, planting
against Peter Elliott as mayor and N
c.. Morgan as city auditor of the city
Of Fargo, defendants. served on the de-
PENDANTS this morning, forming the
first step in friendly case started to
test the legality of the 100000 water
works and light plant bond issue, re-
Gently authorized by a vote of the
people and sold by the council to the
board of university and school lands
of the state of North. Dakota. The
bonds we're accepted by the state on
the condition that they were approved
by the supreme court. The present
suit was started for the purpose OF
satisfying that demand.
The application will be argued be-
fore Judge Chas. A. Pollock this aft
ernoon. 1t is expected that snap
Judgment will be rendered by the
court as a matter of accommodation
to all parties concerned. Without GO
ing into the merits of the case, q
Judgment will probably be rendered,
in order that an appeal can be taken
to the supreme court at once. On
account OF the fact that the case will
be taken to the supreme court in any
event, as little time will be spent in
the district court as possible. The
city officials are enjoined from nego-
tiating the bonds while the matter is
In litigation and the sooner, the case
can be determined the better.
sI Reason for Alleged IlIssayity. @
Atty. E. H. Wright represents the
plaintiff and according to statement
this morning he will lay all stress on
the fact that the bonds are illegal be-
cause the wakerworkB and lighting
proposition were coupled together
when voted on by the people. The
union label in the corner Of the ballot
may be brought up, but the former
count will be made the feature.
Attached to the complaint is a com
plete record of the proceedings Of the
city council from the inception of the
bond movement to the present time,
so far as the issue is concerned. The
resolution of the council putting the
question to vote OF, the people, the
notices OF election, the ballot used,
the report of the committee which
danvassed the election returns and
finally the ordinance passed by the
council authorizing the sale, are all
made part OF the COMPLAINT and the
case will be threshed out from begin
ming to end.
The suit is brought to stop the city
auditor and mayor from attaching
their. names to the issue AMI obli-
eating the nify in anxy mo pyar &c x,nfl
as from certifying a tax levy to be
collected from the property owners.
To avoid a multiplicity of suits which
would have to be brought by tax pay
ers, If the issue is allowed to be nego-
tiated, the present action is brought.
1t is understood that the action will
be taken before the supreme court the
first Of the week, snecial arrangement
having been made with that body
through Attorney General Miller and
Gov. John Burke. City Atty. w. C.
Resser will defend the bond issue.
