tiles.

Attorney A. T. Marshall and Major
w. B. Collins received word from
Des Moines today that the supreme
court has sustained Judge H. Bank.
Jr., in the case of Collins VS.. City of
Keokuk. This is the case brought by
Major Collins and involved several
points having to do with the city on
the eve of the commission form of
government
Judge Bank held that the city could
contribute to the Iowa League of Mu-
inequalities Oh the grounds that an act
of legislature had been passed legaliz-
ing such contribution.
The case has another interesting
point in which Judge Bank sustained
the city in paying the assessors sal
airy. Major Collins contention was
that the city was under the commits
sion form of government and had no
right to pay the assessor elected I'M
der the aldermanic form Bank held
that the election in July and notices
by the mayor to the county auditor
and governor we're merely steps
