(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 6—(Special.)—The preme court has issued a writ of manda- mus requiring the state treasurer to pay & salary warrant of an instructor in the university, holding that the unexpended surplus of the amount of the one-mill levy appropriated by the legislature for the use of the university lapses, but that the un- collected portion of this appropriation does mot lapse. According to this desision the appropria- tion of the proceeds of the one-mill tax for the years 1907 and 18 is an appropriation of the whole amount of the tax and not ®©f that portion only which was actually collected during the Biennium Section 19 article 3 of the constitution provides that appropriations shall end at the expiration of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the next legisla- ture, but the court has decided that under this provision it is not essential that the money ‘be actually drawn during the two vears for which the appropriation was made. In regard to grants of public lands 1o the state by act of congress for the sup- port of the university and agricultural collage, the court says the state becomes a trustes of ‘wuch funds for the sole purposs of applylng them to the objects of the srants and with no power to divert the ®ame to other purposes, or to render them general funds pf the state. The acts of the legislature appropriating the income from sald grants {s a complete appropriation to the beneticiary of the income from s funds and the mection of the constitution saying when appropriations shall lapse is not applicable to such trirst funds so de voted by congress to a specific use Asks Modification of Deeree. City Attorney Stewlit has filed in fed eral vourt a motion asking for a modifi- | catioh of the decree In the case of the | Lincoln Gas company against the eity by | omitting therefrim that part adjudging the occupation tax ordinance invalld and granting & permanent injunction against enforcement of the allegations that the e Nebraska invalidity of the same under the laws and constitution of the United States s not_charged In the bill of complaint and no such lssue was involved; that the bill of complaint prayed for no relief against such occupation tax ordinanc that the evidence adduced does not su tain such parts of ‘the decree, and that the court was and Is without jubsdiction to determine the question of the valldity of such occupation tax ordinance under the laws and constitution of the state of Nebraska, or 1o enjoin the enforcement of the same. He has also filed a motion asking the court to modify its opinion as follows: “S8how In such opinion that the com- pany's stock and bond issue cover both gas and electric light departments, and that the latter aonstitutes about one- third of the entire valuation of complain- ant’s property “So that it may appear therein that the construction account is by the duplica- tlon of 1900 comstruction account, accord- ing to Mr. Honeywell's statement, and in testimony of Mr. Wiggins; also commis- sion on sale of bonds, $17.015, and costs of original plant, $64,247, not mow in ex- istence, “To show that the net earnings of 73862 for 1907, as admitted by the com. plainant, should be increased in the sum of $9,0, the same being items improper charged to expense. ‘o show the actual cost to complain- ant for the years 138 and 197 for laying services and mains, and that the applica- tion of the same to complainant's entire system would show the reconstruction value of the same to be about $100,000 less than the amount as shown by complain- ant's expert witness, given by the court in such opinion. “To eliminate from the value placed on complainant's property the item for $16.500 for gas_ranges, for the reason that the same Is not the property of the complainant and for the further reason that the cost of the same is charged to the expense ac- count. “To ellminate from the valuation of eom- plainant’s property the item of 30,000 working capital for the reason . that com- plainant is not entitied to earn dividends on that wiich it does not own. “To refer to the occupation tax ordinances matter for construction by the Ate courts.’ Man only as a Injured In Laundry.
