IRON COUNTY's ATTORNEY
NOT BARRED FROM PRoSECUT-
ING OFFICIAL BUSINESS.
He Cannot, However, Engage In Pri-
e vate Practice in the District
Courts, So Says Acknowledgement
Bishop.

a rather interesting case has come
up in Iron county. where the county
attorney elected at the last election
is not a member of the bar. The chair
man of the board of county commits
sioners, Mr.. r. H. Mcbride, has
asked Attorney-Genera Bishop for an
opinion as to whether a non-member Of
the bar can officiate in the capacity Of
county attorney. and Mr.. Bishop de-
cides in the affirmative. but holds that
he cannot appear in the district courts
in any but official business.
BISHOPS OPINION.
The attorney-general's opinion. which
was transmitted to Mr.. Mcbride yes
terday. reads as follows:
Answering your favor of Feb. IA. in
quiring whether the county attorney
can perform the duties of his office in
the district court without first being
admitted TO practice, permit me to call
your attention to chapter l, title >,
found on page PA. volume 2 of the
compiled laws of Utah, 1888. relating to
the admission of attorneys to practice
in the courts of this state. Section
S1O6 provides: If any person shall prac-
tice law in any court except Justices
or probate court. without having a
license as attorney and counselor, he
is guilty of contempt of court
There are no provisions of law pre-
scribing what qualifications shall be
possessed by county attorneys. but I'M
der subdivision l. of section rs OF
chapter 131. of the laws of 1896. it is
made his duty to attend the district
court and conduct on behalf of the
state all prosecutions for public Of
lenses.
Under this provision. I am of
opinion, that in so far as his official
duties are concerned it is a sufficient
authorization in law to permit him to
practice in the district court, and that
provision would therefore nullify and
repeal the provisions of section 31O6
supra.
However. it would not so operate to
permit him to practice in the district
court in matters of business of a pri-
vate nature or those which could not
be said TO be duties required of him in
an official capacity"

NAVAL STEEL BOARD.
Secretary Herbert Signs an Act
Abolishing It.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-Secretary Her
bert's final act before leaving for
Charleston yesterday was to sign an
order abolishing the naval steel board
and transferring its work to the bu-
reaus of steam engineering and con-
struction. This board, which was con-
stituted by Secretary Whitney, has
been for nearly IL years the source of
continual trouble in the navy depart
ment, and the subject of drastic criti-
cism at all times. Naval Constructor
Dashiel was ordered to the construc-
ton bureau, and all matters pertaining
to ships material were transferred with
him. Similarly Assistant Engineer
Freeman was transferred, together
with all machinery and material mat
tiers to the steam engineering bureau,
and the third member of the board, its
chairman, Captain Coffin, is to be given
other duty

THE RISE IN REAL ESTATE.

Ave Year, Ago and Row.

In 1862 a detailed estimate of the value Of tho
real estate owned by the city Of New York was
made. 1t then appeared that the value of real
estate owned by the city for school and Fire
Department purposes was g.. $50, 900. for police
uses 1881 900. in docks, wharves. slips. and
bulkheads 80, 257 900. and in parks $14.76l 900.
Toward the total, in the case OF the parks,

included the land since conveyed to the United
States Government for the use Of the main Post
Office, and SO. 900. 900 by the Battery.
This was thirty.hve years ago, and a very fair
idea OF the growth in value of all real estate in
New York is to DO had by comparing the est!-
mated values then with those recently fixed by
the Commissioners OF Taxes and Assessments
for the year 1897. The Bowling Green, then
valued at $l35. 900, is now estimated MT $780,
