Cain the salary of County Indexer, was spoiled when heard of by the Roberts side, and, as predicted In yester day's Courier-Journal, was abandoned without a straggle. Before the meeting of. the Commissioners was called the master was Informally discussed at con siderable length by them. Judge Richie srd County Attorney Fulta both ad vised very strongly against the Com- 1m loners making any decision tween rival claimants, while outside UaJ. Sanders, counsel for Roberts, was grimly awaiting the first move in this direction and making no secret of his Intention to have an Injunction Issued the moment any attempt was made to put the scheme through.

Mr. Paul Cain was on hand, but he made no effort to press the matter, and the whole plan was allowed to fall through. One of the members of the--board-. cswever, stated afterward that if the matter had been pressed he was con fident that even with the demoraUza- Hon produced by the plan becoming fcablle It could have been put through. Bat the 'whole thing was dropped, and.

It Is understood, will not be brought up gam. although Magistrate Witherbee made a formal motion during the regular proceedings that the Indexer matter be postponed till the meeting Bext Wednesday. One good result came from the skirmish, however. Each side found that his opponent was on the alert, and no further attempt at securing an advantage by indirect means will be tried. After a consultation with their attorneys Messrs.

Cain and Roberts held a meeting, and made an effort to reach an agreement for submitting the case to the courts. They reached no decision, and another conference may be held to-day. In any event, one of their attorneys stated that he was satisfied that some definite action would be taken in the contest today. Either an agreed case would 'be arranged or one of the two would file suit against his opponent, and the matter would pass into the' hands of the courts.

The proposition to Insure the Court-bouse and contents was discussed, and the matter was left in the hands of Juds-e Richie, to report Wednesday. Judare Richie advised that the insurance be taken, in view of the value of the books and records stored in the building. The Jail and City Hall have been regularly Insured, but from some versight or neglect tha Courthouse has not been. It Is proposed to take an insurance of about $100,000, which will cost about for five years. Of this amount, the city will pay flve-slxtbs and the county one-sixth.

It waa directed that inquiry be made as to the cost of furnishing the Court-bouse with electric light. Another claim of ex-County Clerk George Webb for Indexing was approved. The claim is 11.900. The question of salary for the County Attorney, which was submitted to a committee of the Commissioners several weeks ago. will be reported at the meeting next Wednesday, and the allowance granted.

The matter haa been postponed to allow the Commissioners to see how much the County Attorney was likely to receive from fees, so that the salary might supplement this to make an aggregate Income which the Commissioners would consider suitable tor the services.

The total white teachers based on the monthly report was 350. and the colored seventy-five, i i Chairman Lang submitted the report of the Finance Committee an estimates for the current year. The report -was divided Into three sections, one based on the full collection Of the tax; one based on the collection of 95 per cent, and the third on 85.5 per cent, of the taxes.

The latter is the per cent, which the committee stated was usually collected, but was based upon- an average of the past five years. This basis was the one recommended by the committee, and was as follows; RECEIPTS.

If the city collects as it has done heretofore, based upon an average of the past five It was suggested that the School Board should get a portion of the deficit tax, but Mr.

Blaln. the board's attorney, stated that he had examined Into the question and could find no authority- for securing anything In that The deficit, tax applied only to city's general expenses. The board then settled down to what proved to be a long and tedious discussion, of the Finance Committee's report. Mr. Chatterson declared that under the charter neither the board' nor the city could exceed their estimates, and 1xj4.ii uu violated me cnarter.

He thought that the board should adopt as a basis the whole 100 per cent, of the tax. and then spend; the part that was collected. If the estimates were based on only 8S.S. the committee proposed, and -more was collected, it could not be used ry the board this year without violating the charter, and must go over to next year's fund. Mr.

Flnser said the board diametv rically diaagreed with Mr. Chatterson, and said that the board had an opinion on that point last year. Mr. Ramsay said Mr. Chatterson was "whittling some technical law, which was, not 'founded on common- sense." It was absurd to say that- the board could not spend all the money collected, even if it -was 100 per cent and the estimates were based on 85.5.

President StoU and Cochran sustained Mr. Ramsay's-view and Attorney Blaln waa- confident the board could spend any. money It 'could: get, regardless of the the provision of the charter being to prevent trenching. on another year's Mr. Chatterson moved i to adopt the estimate of receipts on the basis of 100.

Hoerts then started a long and hot discussion by submitting a motion that the rules be suspended, and a teacher in the uptown bight normal school retained on the rolls until the expiration of the about three weeks. As the attendance had fallen off she would, under tbe rules, have to be drop pea. Mr. Atkinson-said, ir this was-done they might as. well let down the bars, and Messrs.

Cochran, Flnser and others Joined In the attack. In the melee the Superintendent stated. In 'response to an inquiry, that the falling off which caused the teacher, to be dropped had existed since Christmas, and that Prof Roberts, the principal of the school! had known it.
