THE POLICE COURT.


Explanation Of Judge Rivers - to IN
Objection Raised.
1t was reported that Lawyer Peterson
intended to question the constitutionality
OF the act creating the police court. He
based his objection to it on the ground
that it provided appeals from the police
judge should be made only to the supreme
court. This created some surprise in legal
circles because the statute, as printed in
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES so far the only
copy published, shows that appeals are to
be made to the superior court. The only
authoritative way to decide the matter is
by procuring certified copy from the
secretary of state, and this nobody has had
printed copies which will be issued from
the state printers in short time.
have been guided" said Judge Rivers
yesterday, 'by the copy as printed in the
PosT-lNTELLIGENCER, because my recollec-
ton was very distinct as to the act when it
was passed, and ! found the copy pub
lished very accurate. It is possible that
some verbal errors have crept in, but /
think not. The bill, as originally intro
duced, made the police court almost SUI
perior court, and it then gave appeal to the
supreme court. It was entirely remodelled
and reduced to the level to . great extent,
Of Justices court / know that the
change was made providing for appeals to
the superior court, as published in the
observation-disclosures, and if the engrossed
copy retains the word supreme instead Of
superior, it is clerical error.
II am not prepared at this moment to
give q positive opinion, but my first judy
ment would be that the error does not
render the act unconstitutional, but that
it would be subject to objection if an ap-
peal should be taken to the supreme court.
In that respect only would it be unconsti-
tutionai."

Ballard Yards Crowded with Work ON
Sound Boats.
There is more shipbuilding in progress
at Ballard than at any other point on
Puget sound. Captain Lake will launch
the tug lola today, and will have the hull
of another steamer ready to fit within few
days.

tonight so that she can take her regular
run tomorrow.
The government towboat Skagit will be
launched either Monday or Tuesday and
put into service. The Cascade is being
gone over from top to bottom. Her state
rooms are all being torn out, her bottom re-
planked, the guards renewed and the ma
chinery repaired. She will be painted all
over and be put into service inside Of q
month.
Boats built at Ballard are renowned for
their speed and the completeness of finish.
The Bailey Gatzert, the hands omest pas
senger steamer on the Sound, was built at
Ballard. In fact, the name Of the Ballard
shipyards is known all over the Coast, and
now model is being prepared for hand
some stern-wheel passenger steamer to ply
in Gray harbor.
Shipbuilding is one Of the industries
which has helped to advance Ballard as a
city and with the other factories which are
in operation and those which are being
added, the city will soon rival all competi-
toss for classification as cities of the first
class.
The natural advantages which the city
possesses make Ballard the most attrac-
tive location for anyone seeking site for

THE TRIP TO THE BOUNDARY.
IirstLaks shore Train Makes the Roun
Trip.

4kARs
Last evening the first excursion to the
boundary over the Seattle, Lake Shore q
Eastern road returned to the city. Those
comprising the party were: President A.
8. Durham, Chief Engineer r. H. Talcott
G. w. Colt. the vice president of the San
Francisco Bridge Company, P. F. Smith
OF Seattle, one of the contractors; NJ. j
Heney, of Nooksack, also a contractor;
Fred Rice Rowell, the right-of-way man;
Mrs. Rowell and her niece, Il. w. Dunn,
the superintendent of the road; A. Dens.
more, the roadmaster, and III. Meddaugh,
the superintendent of bridges and build
ing. They left the city. Thursday morn:
then came back to spend the night at Nook
sack City. They reached Seattle last even
ing shortly after o'clock.
President Durham in speaking of the
excursion said last night: I'VE found
everything in good condition. and the
work progressing favorably. On Monday
large force will be put at work ballasting
the track will be in condition for traffic,
and the regular train service to the boun-
dairy will begin, and Canadian Pacific
trains will also be ready to run to the
boundary within thirty days, for l am
told that they have but comparatively
small amount of track to lay and trestle
to build.
The time between here and the bound
airy, In Sumas City, half a mile this side,
where the custom-house is to be, will be
some four or tive hours.
Il am aware of no traffic arrangement
by which Great Northern trains may be
run over the Canadian Pacific and then
over our line from isedro to Seattle. sup
pose, however, that if the Great Northern
can get an arranger ,ent to go by way of
Winnipeg and the c. madam Pacific, then
they may ask us to haul their trains into
Seattle until such time as their own line
is completed. But we shall probably hear
nothing of it until the deal with the Cana
dian Pacific is settled"

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Citizens Renting Water Must Pay Ut the
Once.


Once.
At the board of public works meeting
yesterday attention was called by Chair
man Cochran to a typographical error in
printing the telegram from the Eureka
Fire Hose Company. The dispatch was
that the hose would be shipped Saturday,
March IA.
Petition of A. NJ. Brookes for sewer
back Of the cracker factory was referred
with report that the board of health
would not allow sewage to be drained into
Lake Union. but would permit pipe put
in to drain surface water. Superintendent
of sewers was authorized to do necessary
work to drain the surface.
The superintendent reported that Chill
berg would make the necessary connec-
tons for his buildings but the owners of
the Terry block refused. 1t was resolved to
do the work at the expense of the property.
Street Commissioner Alexander called
attention to the damage caused by con-
tractors dumping large pieces of rock on
planking. Major Rinehart moved that
Judge Jacobs attention be called to the
matter so as to incorporate the offense in
the proposed substitute for ordinance No.
500.
Attention was called by E. G. Curtis and
Others to the condition of Harrison be-
street commissioner.
Bills were received from DR.. Gebhart for
doctoring horses for the city; two, each of
$3.50. The bill was youched by Chief
Kellogg as being the contract price.
Mr.. Hebron reported that he had in
quired, as directed, as to the compliance of
the James street cable with the require
ments Of the franchise, as to planking the
street between the tracks, and found the
company was not required to plank until
the city planked the other part.
Mr.. Hebron reported that he had in
quired, with a committee of the CITY coi1n-
Gil, into the water department., with a
view to seeing If expenses can be reduced.
They found that the only reduction which
could be made in the office was by dis
pensing with the services of collectors and
requiring people to call at the office and
pay their water rents. At the pumphouse
the force had been increased on account of
the charter requiring each shit to work
only eight hours.
Mr.. Hebron said Alderman Bogardus
seemed to be of opinion that the chief en-
gineer might take one shift, and Superin-
tendent Chalk told him that the regulation
for water renters to call at the Office and
pay was in force in many cities. He
thought the employment of collectors a
great convenience, but moved that the
recommendation made be put into effect.
The resolution prevailed.
James A. Painting put in a bill for 500
for the use of wagon by the fire depart
ment; filed.
A petition for the improvement OF Pine
street from Thirteenth was referred to the
street commissioner.
