County Attorney Hughes has filed
his brief in the BARRIERS case with
Judge Shissler. He holds that the
law is constitutional. The defense
holds that it is unconstitutional be-
cause it interferes with private bust
ness that does not require police re-
gulation. Mr.. Hughes holds that
regulation is necessary to prevent the
spread of diseases and to protect the
public from incompetent BARRIERS.

BELGRADE rlUST PAY.
1t Cannot Escape Its Share Of the
Bridge Sidewalk Expense.

City Treasurer Williams today re-
ceived check for $500 from County
Auditor Gunders in payment of the
county's share of the expense of the
sidewalk along the Minnesota river
bridge. The share of the expense
which was to be borne by Belgrade
township was $40 or thereabouts,and
this has not yet been paid. In this
connection, there have been rumors
during the past few days to the effect
that the Belgrade authorities would
not pay their share of the expense,
and certain residents Of Belgrade are
said to have declared that they never
intended to pay anything. 1t is be-
lieved that the members of the board,
with possibly one exception, are in
favor of meeting the obligation
promptly.
City Attorney Pau was asked by a
FREE PRESS reporter whether the city
could enforce the payment by Bel
grade of it's share of the expense of
the walk, and he replied that it could
do so. He stated that there was a
verbal contract which was binding
and could be enforced. The officials
of Belgrade bad the power to raise and
expend the money for the purpose,
and the township could be held to the
payment.
What reason is advanced for refus-
al to pay cannot be imagined, ands we
do not believe there will be much de-
lay about making the payment, as the
people of Belgrade are not the class
who attempt to 60 back on agree
ments.

The board of public works met

total amount to be assessed being
1915 An assessment of "a cents a
lineal foot on each side was levied.
This is much more expensive than
the other sewers have sbeen, for
the reason that it is only a block long
and the property facing CLARK street
has already been assessed for sewer
and cannot be assessed the full
amount. The board will meet Nov
18th to confirm the assessment and

If he Was r1ayor.

Aid. Bradley said that there is a
great deal of complaint that the mer-
chants are obstructing the sidewalks,
both along the inside and outside. He
thought that it was high time that
the officers enforced the ordinances.
If he had such officers he would ship
them in no time. He would like to be
mayor six weeks and he would have a
change. He moved that the chief of
police be instructed to remove the OBJ
structions. There was no second to
this, and Alderman Petersen sug-
gested that the alderman wait until
the new chief has chance to act.
