DECISION IS
RENDERED IN
THEFEE CASE
Judge Cavender Holds That Mesa
County National Bank is Entitled
to Fee and Costs as Registrar
of Hannah Creek Funds.

One of the most important decis-
ions handed down in Grand Junction
in a long period and one in which
the people of the city are greatly in
terested, was rendered orally from
the bench of the district court this
morning by Judge Charles Cavendar
of Leadville, presiding for Judge
Sprigg Shackleford.
Judge Cavender, after hearing the
arguments in the case, wherein the
city officials were objecting to pay
ing the Mesa County National bank
one per cent fee for their services as
registrar of the Hannah Creek water
funds, held that the bank was justly
entitled to reasonable compensation
and the expense they had been to
in the matter, and overuling the OBJ
jections of the city, held, that under
the circumstances the bank should
be paid the costs in the matter,
amounting to s275.27, and fee
equal to one-half of one per cent of
the total funds handled. These funds
aggregated S1S9, 1926; therefore
the compensation would be $4,000,
and the reimbursement of the costs.
The bank had rendered very salts
factory services as registrar and the
duties and responsibilities involved in
the work were met in a most accur-
ate and prompt manner by the bank
Judge Cavendar has been in close
touch with every phase of the mount
ain water situation, as he presided in
the condemnation proceedings,

The decision rendered by Judge
Cavender today dealt with the vari-
oue features of the case in most
interesting and clear manner and, as
very important points are raised and
equally as important facts detailed.
AS the decision is of general inter
est, The Sentinel secured a steno-
graphic record of the decision. 1t
follows:
For a decision of the law point in
volved in this case it necessarily rails
es some questions of fact which are
within the knowledge of this court,
and which governed this court in de-
Gliding the case, and in appointing
the registrar.
At the termina tion of the trial, and
after the verdict of the jury had been
rendered, and after the motion for
new trial had been filed and ruled
upon, the question arose as to the

The above questions were the
themes of discussion that lasted for
over two hours at a meeting last
night of the directorate and the com
mittees of the Grand Junction Cham

questions were left practically un-
answered.
There were some forty represen-

meeting. which was held in the new
quarters of the Chamber of Com

Mrs. Risdon was a well known
resident of the Plateau valley and had
one child at the time of her marriage
to Boil, or whatever his name is, in
July of last year. The wedding was
solemnized by District Judge Shack
leford of this city. Her complaint
asserts that he caused her great
mental grief by his actions during
their married life, constantly harass-
ing her by telling her his previous
marital escapades and assuring her,
that although he had many times ap-
peared at the marriage altar he had
never been through the formality of
divorce proceedings.
Mrs. Boil further declares that she
is suffering greatly from the fact
that her husband left a long string
of debts behind him, which she was
ordered to pay. Boil it seems work

Editor Daily Sentinel;
Dear Sir:
| wish to call attention to the
statement" of Chairman Dwyer in
the morning publication. He says
that they have never reduced the Su-
perintendent's salary, yet the office
paid 1921 less last year than sixteen
years ago. He says that he has al
ways cheerfully paid my mileage, yet
the fact remains that the commiss-
toner's have allowed me to draw only
such mileage as they thought necess-
airy for me to travel, and with this
meager allowance they cut my mile
age bill for April and May, 1910,
from $12.40 to $40. They cut it
again in April, 1911. At this time a
committee composed of Supt. ]. H.
Allen, Thomas Mahony and Seth
Teesdale appeared before the board
and asked them to allow the mileage
allowed by law. The Chairman's soft
ly worded statement" does not meas
ure up to the facts in the case.
This is not political matter and
should not be so construed. Although
my article was given political head
ing, it was done without my knowl-
edge and permission. The fact is the
Democratic member of the board has
given no better support to this work

AN ADDITION TO
THE CITY
HALL
Associated Press.

Today it is announced that the
city commissioners have practic-
ally determined upon building an
addition to the city hall in order
to give more room for the offices.
1t is planned to build an addi-
tion about 20 by 25 feet on the
lot, owned by the city and adioin-
ing the present building on the
east.
Since the Chamber of Commerce
has moved its offices to the city
hall and occupied the old council
chamber, the commissioners have
felt the need of additional room
and it is likely that the addition
will be made at once.
1t will not be an expensive ad-
dition but will be comfortable,
well lighted and neatly arranged.
