SUPREME COURT HEARING A CASE
CONCERNING CITY OF
DULUTH
-
POINT
A CONSTITUTIONAL
State Constitution Is Involved In
the Case, and Decision VIII Be
of General In
terest.

A case of considerable Importance to
the state, because it involves section OF
the constitution of Minnesota, was ar
gued before the supreme court yesterday.
1t is the suit of George F. Davis, appel
liant, against Trevanian w. Hugo, as
mayor of the city of Duluth, and William
s. Mccormick, as comptroller of Duluth,
ct al, respondents.
The suit was originally brought to re-
strain the city of Duluth and it's officers
from paying certain salaries as provided
for by the new city charter The charter
was submitted to the voters of Duluth,
according to the requirements of law, on
the 8th of February. The charter was de-
feated and the common council then took
in hand recount with the same result.
The case was appealed to the district
court and 1t was held that the charter
was adopted by six or seven votes. In
the appeal to the supreme court it was
held that the charter was carried by one
vote and a fraction. Judgment was en-
tered last August on that decision.
Now the whole case rests on the fact
as to whether the charter went into effect
thirty days after the final judgment on
the contest of the election. According to
the state constitution, city charters go
into effect thirty days after their ratiffca-
ton. The decision of the court will be
applicable to all charters of cities within
Minnesota as well as that of Duluth.
