DAMAGES TOO SMALL.
Como Park Enlargement Assess.
ment Is Again Knocked Out.


Judge Brill has rendered a decision In
the case Of the st. Paul Real Estate and
Investment company, appellant, against
the City Of st. Paul, and ordered judg
ment for the appellant in the sum Of
$1,000. The company appealed from the
assessment made by the board of public
works in the condemnation Of lands for
an enlargement Of Como park. Property
owned by the company, consisting of
about seven acres, was condemned by
the board Of public works, acting under
an order from the park board. These
seven acres and nine more owned by
Joshua Robertson were condemned for an
enlargement of Como park. The damages
allowed for the seven acres owned by the
company was at the rate Of $500 an acre,
and the benefits assessed on other proper
ty owned by the company reduced the
amount which the company would receive
for its property to $500. An appeal was
taken to the district court on the ground
that the award of damages was not
just one, as the land was worth more
money. In the decision filed yesterday
Judge Brill holds that the valuation of
the appellants land as made by the
board of public works was unjust and
the damages insufficient and inadequate,
and judgment is given the appellant
against the city for $1,000 over and above
the amount awarded by the board Of pub
lie works.
A previous assessment for the same
improvement, made by the board Of pub
lie works last spring, was knocked out
by the district court on the appeal Of
the same company. The other assess
ment was set aside on technicality.

COMPTROLLER IS UNMovED
He Says He VIII Not Transfer the
$4,000 In the Insurance Fund
to the School Maintenance Fund
Unless Ordered So to DO by the
COurts-He Was Duly Notified
Yesterday.

The ordinance directing the comptroller
and city treasurer to transfer from the
insurance fund to the school fund the
$50. GOO reported in the first mentioned
fund, was published officially yesterday
morning. Before noon a copy of the
printed. ordinance was left at the comp
troller's office. and yesterday afternoon
1t was brought to the attention of the
comptroller.
Mr.. McCardy announces that he will not
make the transfer as ordered by the coun-
ell unless the courts so direct. The comp
troller holds that. as the insurance fund
came from the general fund, It. would be
violation of the charter to transfer the
money for the purpose of paying salaries,
and, incidentally, expenses Of the schools.
His point is that the general fund can
be drawn upon to build and repair school
buildings. 80 that $4,000 Of the insur-
ance fund could be used toward the cree
ton OF new school building. but that
no money, either from the insurance
fund or the general fund, can be appro-
prtated or used in school maintenance.

W. j. Smith, an employee OF the st. Paul
Carriage company, who was injured while
at work near the corner of College ave-
nue. and Cedar street on Thursday, died
shortly after o'clock last evening at the
city hospital. Death was caused by acute
peritonitis, induced by injuries to the
abdomen. He was married man, living
at 220 State street. His wife was with
him some time prior to his death and was
at his bedside when he passed away.
The accident which caused his death
was peculiar. Smith was a driver for the
carriage company and while at work
Thursday stepped in front of his team
as 1t stood in front Of a Cedar street
house. His horses took fright and sud-
denly jumped forward upon him as he
held their bits. The end OF the wagon
tongue struck him In the abdomen, in
fiicting injuries that while painful were
not necessarily considered serious. He
was taken to the city hospital for treat

tongue had not broken the skin on his

INHERITANCE TAX LAW.
1t VIII BE Argued in the Supreme

1t VIII BE Argued in the Supreme
Court Jan. II.
A vigorous attack is being made on the
inheritance tax law, and the contest be-
tween the state and d formidable array
of legal talent will wax warm on Jan. II,
the date set for hearing the case by the
state supreme court. ----~--s-.
Attorneys representing the estate of the
late George Drew, of Mcleod county, and
the late Charles A. Pillsbury, of Mime
apo1is, will attack the constitutionality
of the law.
1t is alleged that the law is invalid for
the reason that it contains unjust dis
examinations and does not follow the
spirit Of the constitutional provision Of
1894, authorizing the enactment Of a law
to tax inheritances.
It Is claimed that because the law does
not tax real estate legacies 1t unjustly
discriminates against personal property.
Then, again. those who have attacked the
law claim that there is another unjust
discrimination between the collatera4-a and
direct heirs; the former having only S., 600
exempt from taxation, while the latter
have $4,000 exempt.
Attorney General Douglas will defend
the law.
