""Supremo Court Is Expected to
Rule on Plea That it Take
Jurisdiction
SUBSCRIBERS ARE ANXIOUS
A decision is expected soon in the
petition filed by Clfy Solicitor Connelly
asking that the State Supreme Court
take Immediate jurisdiction In the suit
questioning legnllty of city louns passed
before the new charter became rffertlre.
Quick nctlon Is being urged so that
thero may be no halt in the municipal
Improvement Drocrnln nlreadv under
1 way.. Tort or one of the loans has nl
J reddy been (.old and its subscribers arc
' nriilou's to have Its legality attested be
fore the Issue shall be ofTcrcd for pub
! lie sale.
It Is understood the nelltinn ultl h
ubmlttcd to Chief Justice llmwn ..
that the case may be advanced on the
list. l Tho court does not' meet until
i 'September U8 in Pittsburgh, but it is
probable the Justices mnv omul m.
. '
'earlier hearing if they take cognizance
oi mo pennon, in tuts event the
lower court will tint be rnlleil nn ,
near mo controversy.
Action was taken by Solomon 0.
Kraus and is directed against the elty
nnd its officials, seeking to enjoin the
issuance of the balance of three loans
that have, not been subscribed for.
One is for 507,100,000. another for
47,42ri,O00.'nnd the whole of n recent
one for $12,070,000.
A demurrer to the suit was filed last
Week by all the defendants. The sole
question involved is one of law, ond
Accordingly will be argued without the
taking of testimony. The matter out
,of which the bill grows and the ques
tlons raised are of the utmost public
importance and urgency, the petition
explains. The entire financial system
of the city and its borrowing power,
as well as the validity of the lonns, is
in question, with the result that the
city's fiscal system is thrown into con
fusion, which must continue until the
litigation is decided. For these rea
sons the higher court Is asked to nssume
jurjsdicthw ana end the contention as
o6n as pos-.ible.
