new ACTION
OVER VALLEY
B0 N D D { B I
May Rush Decision
By Court on
Situation

In a mandamus suit that
may bring to a head the
public and legal uncertainty
surrounding bonded indebt-
edness of the Imperial Irri-
cation District, James H. Jordan
sued the irrigation district, its
board of directors and Treasurer
Anna McManus Friday for payment
of $50 ,420 in bond principal and
interest.
An alternative writ of mandate
was issued by Superior Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson, returnable
some day next week at the con-
venience of two San Diego jurists
who will be selected to hear the
action. The Imperial county judges
are disqualified because they are
irrigation district taxpayers.
Jordan's petition was prepared
by Attorneys Charles L. Childers,
w. Coburn Cook and A. Heber
Winder. 1t charges that the dis
trict has refused to pay either
principal or interest on outstand-
ing bonds, although the municipal
corporations bond interest fund
contains S545,120 and the bond
principal fund contains $3.50.
The bond funds are more than
sufficient to pay all obligations
outstanding at this time, the petit
ton declares.
Besides a writ ordering payment
of the total of $50, ,420 to Jordan,
the petition also requests an order
for payment of interest at seven
per cent a year on the principal
of each bond
The mandamus action is expect
ed to hasten court decision on
disposition of funds held by the
district in. its bond funds, but
which have been tied up because
of uncertainty surrounding proper
procedure.
Jordan's petition recites details
of the bonds and coupons held by
him, of presentation at various
times to the district treasurer, and
of the treasurer's refusal to pay
the amounts due.
The petition involves 26 bonds
of the third issue, due in the sum
of $1,000 each on January l, 1894:
five bonds of the fourth issue, due
July l, 1885; two bonds of the
fourth issue due July l, 1886; and
varying amounts of interest cou-
pons due semi-annually from July
l, 1888, to July l, 1886, in sums
of $3.50, $25, $2750 and $50 for
various issues.

I'm sure I DON'T" he answered

Janet was sincerely disappointed
that Joel couldn't go on the fishing
party. She was correct in feeling
that she needed his moral support.
The party was given tie last day
before Russell Bedes departure
and Janet had an uncanny feeling
that Russell was going to break
his silence.
She didn't expect him to do it
quite so abruptly or as surprisingly
as he did.

Joel's arm frightened. So did his
mouth.
You see how unreasonable you
are?" she said lightly. You
haven't heard about it yet and you
are angry already"
well, let's hear about it."
Its nothing serious at all.
Only, to quote you, I'd rather you
heard about it from me instead of
from someone else. Remember
when you said that to me?" That
was the only time that Janet was
ever to remind him, that she had
done her part.

He looked a trifle guiltily INTO

for his own! Joel did not find
words easy. He had never been

he felt. IIc would have been en-
barrassed to tell her that he not

an individual. And that he fire.
