A county ordinance making it mis-
demeanor for person TO hunt or kill
game with the intent TO ship the same
without the county, has been held by
the supreme court OF California in the
case of EX'parte Knapp, 81 Pac, Rep.
3l5, to be an unreasonable interference
with the right Of private property and
an unnecessary restraint Of trade and
therefore void. The court said that il
was stated ON argument that the ordi-
nance was aimed at pot hunters" a
term which covers all except sportsmen,
aud that as a small part of the commu-
munity only are sportsmen, law or
ordinance which would discriminate in
their favor would not be a proper exer-
else OF the so-called "police power, and
would be void for that reason also.

Journal $3.50 for the purposeof reviewing
the decision Of the auditor in refusing
to allow items for the expense Of classes
OF algebra and French. The items dis.
allowed were registered under the
Science and Art Department, and the
auditor was of opinion that il was H.
legal for the Board to pay the expenses
OF these classes out of the sci DOL fund.
The contention of the Board was that
these classes formed part of the ele-
mentary schools, aud that although the
studies were French and algebra, only
the elements of each subject were
taught. For some time past the Lon
don School Board has adopted con.
struction of the term Elementary Ed
