The bankers OF Kansas City and OF
the Southwest dependent on the Kan
sas City banks, have agreed to lend no
money to anyone who intends TO use

of the country In the purchase of auto
mobiles. Thirty-two million dollars
were invested in motor cars In the last
year in Kansas. One Kansas City
banker stated that his safe contained
fifty-two real estate mortgages, the
money for which he knew went for

paved be the leading highways.
From chapter IA, section 15, OF the
state laws relating to highways and
bridges, Mr.. Van ZiIe read the follow
ing sentence, which caused all the
trouble:
All counties or parts Of coun-
ties in the state, which have
adopted the county road system,
may issue bonds for the payment
of the improvement of such high
ways as the commissioners OF
highways decide to make.
This discovery, Mr.. Van Zile said he
made after concluding that the way
was clear for the bond issue. In view
OF the revelation he thought halt
should be made in the bonding plan
until the situation was further In
vestigated.
81 think that there is a mistake In
the section quoted" said the prosecu-
tor; that the man who drew up the
act undoubtedly meant to say 'coun-
ty road commissioners instead of
highway commissioners, but the
wording Of 1t Is quite clear and can
not be misinterpreted. However, I
should be glad II anybody could show
me how to get any other meaning
from IL"

commissioners to the county road

was convincing proof, drawing the at

lS and 10 of the fourth chapter of
the county road law. The portions
OF the sections which he said placed
the power of designating what roads
shall be paved in the hands of the
county road commissioners are as
follows:
Any road heretofore laid out,

Mrs. McGraw said that when she
became president there was SIT in the

pretty much discouraged at the lack

NEARLY all of Ler time to the work

the result that at the first tag day

SUPREME COURT ASKS BRIEFS.
Decision In Municipal Ownership
Case VIII Be Delayed.

Corporation Counsel Hally, VINO re-
Gently argued before the supreme
court the mandamus suit brought by
]. l.. Hudson and others to prevent
the submission of the Moore municipal
ownership charter amendment to the
people, has been asked by the court
to prepare brief as to whether a
writ OF mandamus would be the proper
remedy In the case. This point was
not touched in the arguments, as 1t
was supposed TO have been settled in
the case OF William H. Elliott and
others against the city several years
ago.
Mr.. Hally thinks that the prepare
ton and submission Of briefs will not
cause more than 10 days delay, and
that there is good chance Of the
question being submitted at the gen.
eral election.
