this period, paid by state auditors
checks, amounted to S3,512,6 10.85,
leaving a cash balance III the treasury

United States district court, which is
Of vital interest to cities and villages
Of this state. The city of LaMoure
some time ago issued certain city
sewer and water warrants and failed
to make a proper levy of taxes to pay
them. The warrants were held for
some two years by the owners and
v presented for payment. When
they were presented the city treasurer
refused to pay interest on them on the
grounds that they had not been pre-
scented and properly registered under
the statute. The federal court holds
that the failure to present the war
rants for payment and the registering
them for interest was not an act that
avoided the interest charge, and or
dered the city to pay interest on the
warrants.
