THAT" BIRCH couL1E DECISION
He Regards 1T as Bad Law, Bad
- Policy and Bad ~
T., Hs Morals. ss

A. e. Clarke, general counsel for the
Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad, severely
criticises the decision of the supreme
court in the Birch Coulie case involv-
ing title to $500 in bonds voted by the
township of Birch Coulie, Renville
ccuEty, as bonus to the minneapolis G.
st. LC uis road when it was first built
The township contended that as the road
had neglected to build small distance
to the river bank it had not fulfilled the
agreement. Mr.. Clarke says:
i am not only surprised at this decision but
indignant. While rarely assume to criticize
the decision of a court do not hesitate to
say that regard this decision as unjust and
unjustifable. The facts are that Birch Coulee
township voted $500 in bonds to the Mime
apolis & st.. Louis on condition that it build
its road from Hopkins ''to, into, and
through" the town of Birch Coulee The
road was built, entering the township at the
east line and through to within $50 feet of the
Minnesota river. This space of $50 feet is oc-
cupied by a solid ridge of granite. The district
court held that by the construction. of the
railroad to this point the township had re-
ceived all Of the benefits which it could have
received had the road been built to the
river The supreme court holds that this
was not substantial compliance with the
contract; but 7 am not advised that. any
court or counsel has explained what advant-
age could have resulted TO- the township from
the construction of the road through the
ridge Of granite to the river I regard the
decision as bad law, bad policy, and bad
morals. The township has received the full
consideration for which the honds were voted
but is relieved from performance of it's con-
tract upon grounds which seem to me wholly
technical and devoid Of merit
