of such stream, G. S. supra, section 1851, re-
quires such bridge with its approaches to be at
least sixteen feet wide. Held, that this re-
qulrement in respect to the width of the
bridge is observed when from the evidence
1t appears that between the trusses, the in
nermost projecting parts of the superstruc-
ture, the distance is sixteen feet, although it
also appears that wheel guards, four inches
wide and six inches high, laid upon the
hoorfng and encroach on the sixteen feet.
4. G.. S. supra, section 1916, limits and re-
str1cts the power Of the board of county COM
missioners to appropriate or expend money
upon public roads in excess of a specific sum
or ratio of the assessed valuation of real es-
tate IN the county, unless such expenditure is
ratified by vote of the people.
Held, assuming that the limitation and re-
str1ction has not been modified or removed
by L. 1895, Chs. 2S7, 289 or 297-and on this
no opinion is expressed-that the defendant
board had no authority to enter into the con-
money needed on account of the same, unless
by vote Of the electors of the county, such
authority and power had been conferred.
8. The contract was not ultra vires how
ever, and if either of the statutes before re-
ferred to had been complied with the author.
tty and power existed
6. While acting within the scope of their
official duties upon any subject matter over
which they have control and are empowered
to act, the presumption is that public officials
obey the law when entering into contracts
and that they do not act in different mode
from that prescribed. So all contracts made
by public officials if within the scope of
their power and authority, are presumed to
be made in view and in conformity with the
law making them valid.
Z. Held the trial of an appeal from the
allowance by defendant board of balance due
upon such contract the answer alleging that
the same and the expenditure of the required
money was never authorized or ratified by a.
vote of the electors, that the burden of proof
was on the defendant board to show that it
was guilty of official misconduct when it
entered into the contract, and that the same
and the expenditure had not received the
sanction of the voters. Judgment affirmed.

broadway and the Union
Depot.

The special joint committee from the
board of aldermen and assembly has
arrived at an amicable adjustment of
the difference between the city and
the street railway company, and at the
meeting of the board Of aldermen
Tuesday night an ordinance will be re-
ported and passed by that body. Tne
committee, together with Vice Presi-
dent Goodrich, General Manager Held
and Corporation Attorney Markham,
held a conference Tuesday night and
practically agreed on the provisions of
the ordinance. The measure is now
being prepared by the corporation at
torney and as soon as drafted will be
forwarded to the street railway Of
ficials and then returned in time for
the board of aldermen meeting Tues
day night.
The ordinance will provide for the
operation Of an electric line in place
OF the present cable, and the placing
of a device on the Selby avenue hill.
Another section will provide for the
operation of the Broadway loop, via
Fifth, Broadway, Seventh, Robert and
Eighth streets. The union depot loop
will consist of a single track on Sibley
and Third streets, the cars to be oper-
ated down Fifth to Sibley, on SibIey
to Third, up Third to Robert and on
Robert around the present loop. 1t is
understood that only the Grand ave-
nue. cars will be operated on the union
depot loop, although this point has
not been definitely decided upon.
The sudden activity of the street
railway company in arriving at a con-
clusion as to what it would do in all
three CT the matters which have hung
fire so long is said to be due to the
action of the board Of equalization IN
assessing the property and franchise
of the company in this city at $780,
600. 1t is expected, at least by the
officials of the company, that after the
ordinance is passed and accepted by
the company the board of abatement
will materially reduce the valuation
placed on the franchise by the board
of equalization.

BURGLARS GET HOLDER.
Break Into Wabasha Street Stores
in the Early Evening.

Burglars broke into the tailor shop
of Barnard Cornfeldt, 447 Wabasha
street, shortly before o'clock last
evening and carried off eight bolts of
cloth valued at $125. The thieves also
forced an entrance to J. A. Kamp's
barber shop, next door to the tailoring
establishment, but secured no booty
in this place. The thieves secured an
entrance to the tailor shop by break
ing the glass from a rear window
opening upon an alley. Though the
street was crowded with pedestrians
they selected the most valuable portion
of the stock without discovery. and
afterward broke open the rear doof Of
the barber shop. The search here was
evidently interrupted, as a small sum
of money in the cash drawer was not
taken. Shortly after midnight Lieut.
Bahe and Sergeant Ross discovered
two suspicious parties at Tenth and
Cedar and chased them several blocks,
but the pursued escaped by climbing
over the ash house of the electric
plant at Cedar street and College ave-
nue.. Whether or not these men were
the burglars is not known, but it is
certain that they were anxious to
escape the police for some cause.

consider the naturalization of the VoC-

to see that every member was duly
qualified to vote at the next election,
and to endeavor to secure special

ment of the necessary fees.
The society also paid its respects to

sion, entering a protest because the
Eighth ward was not recognized IN

The meeting was a very quiet affair,
less than a score of members being
present, as this is the first one held

not been sent out. Theodore Winkler
presided, and Peter Dietenhofer acted

Labor Commissioner Powers is to

has concluded that it would be a good
thing for the mine owners of the state
to get together and talk over devices
for making their mines safer to the
employees. Under the present law Great
Ing and operating the state labor bur-
eau it has no authority to inspect the
mines themselves nor any one compe-
tent to pronounce them safe or unsafe,
absolutely, on the staff of the bureau,
so it's present inspection, which was
begun during the recent visit of Com
missioner Powers to Duluth, applies
only TO the machinery used in the
mines.
In the absence of this law Commits
sioner Powers thinks he can get the

matter of adopting some safeguards.
