The indications are that work will
not be resumed on the court house for
some time to come. There Is a legal
question Involved In levying a tux
and creating a court house fund, that
will have to be -adjusted by the su
preme court, and u friendly suit will
probably be instituted to determine
the rights of the county. If It Is held
that the warrants drawn on the court
house fund Is a part of the Indebtedness
of the county, It wdl settle the building
of the court house. The supreme court
haa already held that any Indebtedness
created In excess of $5000 Is uncon
stitutional. The opponents of building
the court house and who oppose any
Improvements In Astoria are back of
the measure to kill the court hous
project.
