ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 2S.-The
timely, but unwelcome arrival OF
Arch Jacklew, bailiff Of Madison SUI
perior court, at the city water
works where a Christmas party was
in progress. blocked the execution OF
city water works notes totaling
s2l,154. The notes were intended to
pay for 1000 water meters con-
tracted for few months ago by the
board of works.
The bailiff, acting under orders of
Judge Lawrence v. Mays, served
papers on members of the city adj
ministration as they we're being
seated at the dinner table, notifying
them that they had been tempo
rarily restrained from signing the
notes as a result of a suit filed in
the name of John T. Rock, men,
Der of the board of works appointed
by Mayor Elect j. H. Mellett, Demo-
crat.
Judge Mays issued a temporary
restraining order and fixed Jan 8 as
the date for q hearing to determine
whether the order will be made per-
manent or dissolved. incidentally the
hearing date will mark the change
in the official control at the city
hall so the matter is now regarded
as being beyond the control OF the
present Republican administration.
The contract which is urder fire
was entered into between the board
of works and the Federal Water
Meter Company, East Orange, N. j.,

None of the meters has been paid
for. A desire to pay the bill in full
prompted the board to order the
remaining meters shipped and the
notes executed in absence OF cash
in the water works funds to cover
the bill.
The complaint for injunction al
leges the contract is illegal because
1t was entered into when the city
was beyond it's constitutional limit
of Indebtedness, that the pretend
ed contract was made without COM
petitiye bids and that meters
just as serviceable can be bought
for 81.
