it's usual compliment, an Injunction SUIT
having been filed in the district court
here. A. p. Lambora is the plaintiff In
the action in which the mayor and
members OF the city council nre nnmeo
as defendants. In the petition or file the
plaintiff seeks to point out Irregular
ties In the proceedings leading up TO
tho awarding OF the contract anu asks
that the court permanently enjoin the
council from carrying out the contract
for tho work.
It Is set forth that In the resolution
of necessity that no mention was made
Of brick blocks with aspEaltic filler and
that this form Of construction was
authorized later. The plaintin states
that this entails heavier expense and
hence his objection. He further asks
that the contract awarded to CHRIST.
Petersen be declared invalid because OF
the fact that tho council granted him
an additional amolnt for excaveting
and filling. The plaintiff also fears that
the council invested 100 much power In
the city engineer when he was Gelegat-
ed with power to Increase the cost OF
the work not to exceed $45,ccO which Is
one-half Of the estimated cost OF the
whole improvement. Just how long the
