THE FIREMEN'S ORDINANCE.

The passage of the ordinance appropriating the money paid into the city treasury by the insurance companies, for taxes against them, to the settlement of the claim of the firemen against the city, was yesterday enjoined by the Superior District Court, on the petition of the School Board.

The Council was enjoined from passing, signing, promulgating, etc., any ordinance appropriating money, to which under the law the School Board is entitled, to the payment of any special claim, and as some of the money due by the insurance companies belonged to the School Fund, it "knocked" the ordinance.
