-o
With bills already amounting to;
$717.59 and with additional obii
gations that may bring the total

cut big storm.

bridge situation over . Lowell Creek
.t? efiecting ihe Third and Fourth
street bridges, the council visited
the scene to try and find a solu
tion, if possible. Major Gillette of
the road com missies, asks that the
city raise the Fouitli street bridge j
a foot and a half, in order to ac- j
commodate flie new flood control i
flume now coming down Glacier Can- i
yon under construction by the War
rack Construction company.

OF PRESIDING JUDGE
-o
'tiie recent case of Coleshill vs.
Lord Mayor, &c., of Manchester, in
which, owing to the sudden death
ot the judge before whom the case
was commenced, a second judge con
tinued the hearing on the second
day with the same jury, after read
ing the shorthand notes of the pre
proceedings, is of interest
bote on account of the precedent es
tablished by that course and in re
lation to the question as to the ex
teat to which procedure may be in
fluenced by the wishes of the parties.
The facts of the case are not mat
mial to thi present purpose, but it
appears that in the proceedings
before the Court of Appeal that
tribunal expressed doubt as to the
jurisdiction of the judge to continue
the trial in that manner and also
considered the pr cedent to be one
which ought not to be followed.
