GRAND AVENUE BOULEVARD,
What 1t VIII Cost Under the To
Plans That Are Pre-
pared.

The estimate of the city engineer as
to the cost of the proposed boulevard
on Grand avenue, between Grotto and
Floral streets, will be considered by
the board Of public works today.
Two plans have been sent in by the
engineer, the first providing for a gran
lite curb gives the cost as $4635, or 81 90
per foot front to the property owners.
With sandstone curbing, the i'm
provement will cost $4,000, or 83 cents
per foot front to owners.
The plan calls for a ten-foot bouIe-
ward on each side of the street and a
forty -eight-foot roadway. On other
streets where boulevards have been put
in the roadway has been narrowed to
thirty feet, but as the street railway
occupies about sixteen feet of the ave-
nue. the roadway, in order to allow
travel, has to be wider.
In answer to inquiry made by the
board, City Engineer Rundlett has re-
ported that the estimated cost of paw
ing Market street with asphalt between
Third and Sixth streets is S10,330, of
which sum $1,921 would either have to
be paid by the city or the United States
government for paving in front of the
new post-office.
In case Washington street, from
Third to Sixth streets, should be re-
paved, the engineer estimates the cost
as $13,380, Of which $3.50 would be the
amount expended in paving in front
of the new postoffice.

If the application for the hearing OF
further argument before the supreme
court on the appeal from the decision
Of Judge Lewis declaring the law of
1896, regulating county officials and
their compensation unconstitutional is
granted, the present complications may
be removed.
George Lambert, the counsel for the
taxpayer, Dunoid Simard, who
brought the action which raised the
question as to the county surveyor
alone, said yesterday:
THE supreme court confined itself to
the sole question as to the application
Of the law to the county surveyor. In
asmuch as the new law increased his
salary, while it's title called for a re-
duction Of salaries, the supreme court
declared it unconstitutional as to that
official alone. This was the last and
the weakest point upon which I relied
to demonstrate the unconstitutionality
of the law
I'm declaring the law unconstitu-
ttonal as to the county surveyor, the
supreme court refrained from express
ing any opinion as to whether it was
constitutional as to all other county
officials.
''If further argument is permitted,
the other points 1 have made can be
adjudicated. We maintain that the law
is unconstitutional for reasons that, if
found valid, will necessitate the con-
clusion that the law is entirely void.
For instance, if the supreme court de-
cides that it amends special acts, that
kills 1t, just as effectively as it would
defeat 1t to declare that the law itself
Is a piece of special legislation, apply
Ing only to Ramsey county.
1T is, I am sure, the desire Of all to
have this important problem solved as
soon as possible" added Mr. Lambert.

WINGED it is, it should be erased from

The Reason Why.

DR.. Walker says the reason so many
physicians fail to cure chronic diseases
is largely due to lack of special prepar-
alton and experience. The busy local
practitioner has but little time usually
to give to this most difficult class of
diseases. Therefore, by special re-
search. investigation and experience,
DR.. Walker has attained remarkable
success in the treatment of these most
obstinate and long standing cases. The
afflicted should remember that DR..
Walker has an established reputation
as an expert on chronic diseases. Con-
suit the Doctor while there is hope for
you. His next visit to Yale at the Rap
