for the best interests of the city, the water
board and the consumers that the 'front.'
age tax should be levied for term Of
ten years. If the tax was limited to five
wears. Mr.. Caulfield said, the revenue of
the board from this source would be $l5,-

result would be that water rates would
have to be increased. The frontage tax
receipts were necessary to pay for eXten-

of making each department pay FOR the
water used. This he said prevented waste
of water. The section providing for

dent property owners was also consider
ed bv the secretary advisable The sub
committee having in charge the chapter
on water works took the recommendations
under consideration.
Commissioner Tighe, as chairman of the

new provisions, one requiring the presl-
dent of the park board to make monthly
report Another required the members to

not make up reports for any members.
| Mr.. Tighe said the intention OF the sec

of allowing it to meet and adjourn. For
! this reason clause was inserted making

Minneapolis Special School Fax Case
to BE Argued Today.


The supreme court will this morning
hear arguments on an appeal Of County
Auditor Minor from IN order of Judge
Elliott directing him to extend on the tax
rolls of Hennepin county for the year SO,
a nine tenths of mill levy assessed by
the board of education by virtue of chap
ter z of the General Laws for 1899, and In
addition to the regular school tax
County Attorney L. A. Reed and his as
sistant, c. s. Jelley, will appear for Mr..
Minor, and City Attorney Fraak Healy
for the board of education. The appellant
will urge that the only question for the
court to decide is the eonstitutionality OF
chapter II, and contends that 1t is repug-
nant to said sections of the constitution.
is unconstitutional special legislation, and
therefore void, and bases such contention
particularly upon two grounds, as fol-
lows:
First-It is an attempt to amend, extend
or modify special laws and to adopt those
special laws.
Second-Although attempting to be
made applicable to a designated class of
school districts, it is not uniform in its
operations on the members of that class.
= According TO appellants brief, chapter
Y is silent as to who is to exercise the
power of levying this special tax, and if
power which levies the taxes for school
purposes in each of the three cities of
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth f.he
ones included in the acD, and the same
chapter. in order to be enforced, must
adopt the special acts of those cities or
school districts. That brings chapter u
within the rule laid down by the supreme
court in chapter 40,t which is st. Paul.s
special act for athei aid of its schools.
Chapter 40 was heid.to be unconstitution-
al special 9legislationasan and chapter a,
which was passed fourteen days later, Is
an exact duplicate ofothe' latter except
that in the first section school districts
is substituted for; cities, and district
for city.
The case is of interest in ST. Paul.. be-
cause the supreme court has changed in
personnel since the st. Paul special tax
decision was rendered, and it is possible
that this court may take different view
of the validity of the law, in which case
the ST. Paul case may be reopened.
