SUPREME COURT IN
RULING FOR COMPA

Marshalltown, Jan. 29.-The city
authorities realize $2,669.19 worth now
what it means to recklessly pass illegal
ordinances. This amount does not IN
clude the additional costs of trying the
case in the lower courts, and one ap-
peal. neither does it include the ex-
pense thereof in the courts. 1t is an
expensive lesson but it Is one when
will be of benefit to other Iowa munich
palities. No city in the state Is so en-
thusiastic or so far advanced In the
public ownership of public utilities.
This enthusiasm, especially in the days
before the institution of the commits
sion form of government, used to run
somewhat riot, and there was seldom
time when the city was not lighting
with the commercial lighting people,
the street car company or the tele-
phone companies over rates. At one OF
these times several years ago an ordln-
ance was adopted by the council estab-
fishing telephone rates. The company
resisted and the city caused an in1unc'
ton issued prohibiting the company
from charging more than fixed by ordl-
nance. The company appealed to the
supreme court and the injunction was
set aside

Cummings himself, and to cap the eli

no expression has been obtalnaple
from the officials regarding It's prob

ed at a mass meeting at Mt. Vernon
on Monday night with reference to the
abolition of the saloons in this city,
and which will, it Is said, be presented

quoted, believing that the proper time
to discuss the resolutions was when
they were presented to the council.
Some of the other members, how
ever, were not averse to expressing
their views as to the law governing
the saloons, and it was the opinion OF
one of the members that the council
is supreme and has it within its power
to close the saloons at any time it may
see fit.
