CITY PAYING BONDS
POSSIBLY INVALID
Smaller Towns vitality Inter
ested in Suit Now in Su-
preme Court.
STATE HOLDING THE PAPER
tFrom staff correspondsntN

(From Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Sept. l8.-(Special, 1.-The
validity of several thousand dollars of
municipal paving bonds, which the
state OF Nebraska bought and holds
as an investment for its educational
trust funds, is involved in a suit from
Buffalo county, argued before the SUI
preme court at its first fall sitting
Monday forenoon. The case is en-
titled Chittenden against Kibler, and
was brought by the property owners
in the city of Kearney who objected
to paying for pavement on the streets
fronting their real estate.
Many Cities Interested.
Private purchasers of the paving
bonds issued by the other cities Of
5000 to $4,000 population are likewise
affected by the suit. The law provid-
ing for the issuance of these bonds
was passed in 1913. Nearly a dozen
cities besides Kearney have laid pave
ment and assessed taxes under its pro-
visions. Should the law be knocked
out it would make all of the bonds
which have been issued worthless
The state has bought $l80,000 of these
bonds and another $35000' is in the
hands of the state treasurer.
Bill Radically Altered.
The point of attack in the suit from
Kearney is that the bill, as introduced
in the legislature, was radically
amended, after being read two times
and its title changed to such an extent
that the measure was virtually new
bill. As first offered it applied only
to first-class cities of 5000 to $4,000
inhabitants, while the second-class
cities were dropped out.
This, it is claimed, was contrary to
the provisions of the state constitu-
ton, which requires bill to state its
subject matter in the title and does
not permit amendments which are not
germane to the title. In this instance,
it is contended, the amendment was
in reality a new bill, and could not
legally have been incorporated in the
one that was being considered.
OF such importance is the case held
to be that city attorneys of Fremont,
Nebraska City and Beatrice, where
considerable paving is being done, ap-
peared in the supreme court to hear
the arguments and will assist the at
torney general in preparing brief in
defense of the paving law.
Saloon Law in Same Fix.
Should the attack on the law prove
successful it might pave the way for
an attack on the daylight saloon law,
which was passed in a good deal the
same manner. The bill which after
ward became the daylight saloon law
was originally introduced as SIM
pie measure requiring saloons to close
on election day.
In this form it passed the house
and went to the senate. After being
read twice it was referred to a COM
mittee and was amended so as to COM
pei the closing of the saloons at s
o'clock. 1t passed the legislature in
its amended form.

opposition was chosen today as the
meeting place of the 1917 Nebraska
Methodist state conference. If con-
ditions, conveniences and entertain
ment prove adequate the home Of
Wesleyan university may be made
the permanent meeting place.
The further recommendation of
the committee that future confer
ences be made self entertaining, the
personal expenses being apportioned
among the various churches repre-
sented by the pastors, brought forth
lively discussion.
Opposition of the recommendation
succeeded in preventing test vote
which promised to carry the new
plan.
Selfish Prayers.
Bishop Stuntz today told the preach
ers that there were altogether too
many prayers that go from human
lips that are misdirected because they
are inspired by selfish motives and
seek for selfish ends.
The statistician made his report,
showing a net increase in membership
of 1000. The conference Immediately
and with great enthusiasm set its goal
at net increase OF 10000 for the en-
suing year.

The treasurer made report showing
an increase in benevolent collections
of $4,000. The total amount of spe-
cia1 collections was $2S0,000. The
bishop informed the conference that
the total increase of the Nebraska
conference alone would offset the
total decrease Of twenty-seven spring
conferences.
The conference will probably close
tomorrow noon, altnOugh IL is not
certain. The assignments of minis
ters will not be read until the ad-
