INJUNCTION IS
DENIED. BY: COURT

Teapory Order is Dissolved and Un|ess
Appeal is Taken City May Proceed to
Take Over Light Plant
~, ~
Supelsldeas Bond Must Be Perfected II
Appeal is Taken and Must Be Per-
fected Withia Thirty Days

Judge Martin Hughes on Monday
flied with the clerk of the district
court IN order denying the applica-
ton of Joseph Backus for an order
directed to the city council to show
cause why it should not be restrain
ed from negotiating the final de-
tails of the sale of the bonds au-
thorized for the purchase of the
water and light plant, denying an
application for a permanent inJunc-
ton and vacating the temporary
Injunction issued. A stay of four
days was authorized the plaintiff
by the courts order.
The courts decision in the matter
had been daily anticipated for some
time, and was in accordance with
the popular opinion as to it's dispo-
sition. Substantially it means that
unless an appeal to the supreme
court is taken from Judge Hughes
order the council is at liberty to
proceed with the closing up of the
details for the formal purchase and
acquisition of the plant.
If an appeal is taken it is proba-
BILE the court will require super
sedeas bond TO guarantee the costs
and disbursements and to hold the
city safe from actions for damages
that might result. What the amount
OF this bond might be is variously
estimated at from 5000 to $4,000.
As to whether or not an appeal
would be taken no decision had
been reached yesterday.
If an appeal is not interposed the
council will proceed at once to &C.
quire the plant. The fight on the
squestionehas aseens:one. Of the most
bitter in the history Of the city
Those opposing the purchase of the
plant do 80 on the ground that the
price to be paid is exorbitan Mt, that a
fair appraisement of it's value was
never had, and that it will be poor
business for the city generally and
will finally result in increased tax
alton. They believe also there is
good ground for the action which
was started to stop the sale of the
bonds, and it is probable that an
appeal will be taken.
The courts order contained nc
memorandum and the questions
for consideration were disposed OF
without com ment.
