Sadler vs.. The Board of County Com |
missioners of Eureka Co.. - New. A. |
The above rule was announced by this |
! Court in constituting that clause of said |
Section 1919 authorizing the Board of
County Commissioners to erect court !
! house Jail, and other public buildings |
! and prescribing method of letting a CON
tract therefor. Counsel for appellant con
! tends, that the provisions above cited re- |
lating to the sale of property acquired by
| the county, as was the property i'll cOntro- |
| VerSy acquired, are merely directory and |
| not mandatory for the reason that no neg
! ative language is used therein excluding
all other manners Of sale. That clause of
| said Section 1914 construed by the Su-
preme Court in the case of Sadlcr vs.. The
Commissioners, supra, is similar in all
respects to the tenth clause of said Sec
ton 1919 authorizing the Commissioners
to sell any property belonging to the
County and prescribing the mode of such
sale. The Court, in the case cited. did not
base its reason for holding the statute
mandatory, AS COntended for by appel
lantS cOunsel, but gave a> a reason there
for the protection and benefit of the pub
lie and a guard against fav0ritiSm and
extravaganza and corruption. Applying
the same reason to the case at b;r, we
may well say that the restrictive proVis-
ions of the statute, requiring sales of
property belonging to the county by the

made another cut in class rates from
Chicago and the Mississippi river to
Colorado common points, announcing
first-class rate of "a cents from Chi
cago and "A cents from the Mississippi
river. This is 16 cents lower than the
rates from Chicago and the Mississippi
to Kansas City, but it is understood
that the rate will not apply to inter-
mediate points. Kansas City is in
doubtful position to insist on such ap
plication, because the low rates, if so
applied, would necessarily give much
of Kansas the same rates as this city.
The report was credited by represen-
tatives of other lines, and the Rock Is
land gave notice that it would not meet
the last named rates of the Burlington
from Chicago and the Mississippi to
Colorado.
The Burlington started the Colorado
rate fight. and is said to be determined
to carry it to the bitterest end, prompt
ly meeting any reductions made by the
steamship and rail lines. The first
class rate to Colorado was $2.05 from
Chicago. S1.S5 from St. Louis and s1.25

vulcaniZed rubber extremity of which
is inserted a sharp platinum point
This point is drawn by an automatic
clockworl1 cOntrivance over the sur
face of the plate, each time at a minute
distance from the line on which it
moved before, this adjustment being
accomplished by a screw and a triple
series of ratehets, which by turning
the screw regulate the width between
the lines. After the machine is con-
nected with the electric circuit and the
platinum point is set in motion, each
time 1t encounters a strip of shelIac
the circuit is broken. This throws
down against the receiving paper in

the surface a line corresponding to the
course taken by the platinum point
while on the Shellac insulation.
When the platinum point has passed
over the shellac and the circuit is again
closed the needle point is lifted The
carriage is propelled by the electric
motor, the clockwOrk being necessary
to control its velocity, and this is ac-
complished with the assistance, in addi-
tion to the ordinary looking system of

unlike the governor of a steam engine
