WEED CUTTING CASE
Supreme Court Avoids Deciding Point
of Importance to Farmers.

INDIANAPOLIS Oct. 31.-The
supreme court yesterday refused
to decide whether work in cut
ting weeds along a public road
is such work as entities a land
owner to credit on his road tax,
dismissing an appeal from judg-
ment which was pronounced in a
mandamus proceeding against a
road supervisor in Perry town
ship and directed him to issue a
receipt for SO on account of
work done in cutting weeds. The
effect of the dismissal is to leave
his judgment in full force, but
the supreme court refused to
pass on the merits of the appeal,
because it was taken by road
supervisor who had ceased to
hold office before the appeal was
perfected.

The treaty has been concluded
and is now in the hands of the
