the existing grades of grain except as
the distinctions of new and old"
MR.. M'ILRATH's REMARKS.
Mr.. McIlrath stated in regard to the re-
port that he would like TO have it referred
to the committee on inspection, inasmuch
as the commissioners had not promulgated
their rules. He suggests the addition of
the grade of No. 1 fancy, because the
amount of hard Scotch wheat included in
the No. hard grade of the commissioners
is but as per cent. He thought there
ought to be more of the hard Scotch in the
grade.
MIR. John McAuley asked If the board Of
trade of ST. Paul had the authority or right
to add grade to those established by the
state through its commissioners.
Mr.. McIlrath answered this by saying
that the board of trade of st. Paul is an ill
corporated institution, authorized by its
charter or contract with the state to do GER
tain things, and that the state itself could
not curtail its rights in the least.
The report was referred to the committee
on inspection.
The matter of the power to add grades
was again referred TO, and Mr.. Gilbert
stated that he would like TO have the writ
ten opinion of some competent lawyer upon
that point. He therefore made a motion
that the president, Mr.. Bohrer, and the eX-
ecutive committee secure such an opinion.
The motionwas adopted, after which
the board adjourned.

The West side Railway.

''No, there have been no new develop
ments in the matter of the proposed West
Side street railway" said c. IL. Lienau
in answer to the question yesterday. 1--WE
are now simply waiting the action Of the
street committee and the council. If they
pass the ordinance we will at once go on
with the work"
''What about the question of legality p"
was asked.
1--WE claim there Is no question about it
according to the charter of the present rail-
way company and the law of the state.
You see the matter stands this way. In
1858 bill was passed giving power TO a
company TO run line of railway between
st. Paul and st. Anthony on condition that
a company was formed within one year
and the road constructed within three years.
AS neither condition was carried out the
charter became void. Three years later
the question was again legislated on but no
work done. In 1868 this law was amended,
but il was never so arranged as to give the
st. Paul Railway company exclusive rights
to operate on the different streets of st.
Paul. In fact they do not. we claim, even
possess that right at the present time, and
they certainly have not the right to run
their tracks I'm West St Paul.
