THE NEW ROADLAW
Decisions of the Attorney
General on the New
Law.

Attorney General Stratton has received
a number OF inquiries from all parts of
the state for his construction of different
sections of the new road law passed by
the las Legislature, which so completely
revoutionizes the old method OF road and
bridge work in this state.
The section about which there is the
most inquiry is that portion OF section s,
page 224, Of the session laws, which pro-
yides that the county commissioners shall
levy general road and bridge tax which
shall be used for the construction, etc, of
roads and bridges ''in which all the in
habitants OF the county are interested"
The attorney general gave his construc.
ton of this section in response to in.
quiries from Pacific and Garfield counties,
where individual cases are cited and the
opinion Of the attorney general asked ii
a particular road or bridge is one in
which the whole county is interested.
The attorney general says:
"The board of county commissioners is,
no doubt, vested with wide discretion in
determining in what instances the gem
eral road and bridge fund should be used,
and in what roads and bridges all the
inhabitants OF the county are interested.
Their action will not be controlled except
in clear case of abuse of discretion, If
| at all"
In answer to other questions, the attor-
ney general holds that the board has no
power to appoint person as general
superintendent of roads," or otherwise,
and confer upon him the duties and func-
tons imposed by statute upon the county
surveyor; that each road supervisor must
be appointed from among the qualified
electors of his district; that section 10,
page 225, requiring the road supervisors to
submit monthly reports does not mean
that the county commissioners shall hold
regular monthly sessions; and that the
compensation OF the county surveyor is
still governed by section 1890, vol. l, Bal
linger's code, and is not left to the dis
erection OF the county commissioners.
The attorney general also gave an opin'
ion constituting the new law providing
for official seals for county treasurers
Some attorneys contend that deeds is
sued by county treasurer prior to the
new law are invalid without the treas
urer's seal. and some treasurers have
been importuned to make new deeds in
lieu Of the old ones or affix their seal or
the old deeds. The attorney general says
"The act of 1908 (Session Laws, page
13)does not contemplate the giving Of
new deeds in lieu Of those issued priol
to its passage, for it expressly validates
all deeds which lack the seal. Without
expressed statutory authority, as l view
the law, the county treasurer could have
no authority to issue new deed with 6
seal affixed or to affix his official seal te
deed issued prior to the act of 1908, ir
lieu Of, supplemental to, or to cure 6
supposed defect in aYdeed properly is
sued under the law as it was prior to thu
time of the act of 1908, mentioned.

third to the sum originally fixed for the
sale Of the system, and, although rnuch
might be done with that sum OF money,
it would not he good business for the city
to sell the plant at any price. Water is
prime necessity, and should be fur.
nished by the city at cost. with no at.
tempt to make profit, and, if to main
tain the present system requires raise
Of rates, the people will cheerfully stand
it. with the knowledge that it will be
made cheaper as soon as the necessity for
large expense is past. If the parties
Offering $3.50, 900 could make a profit at
the rates named in their franchise, the
city should be able to keep even at those
rates, and it is suggested that they be
adopted for a time instead OF the rates
now in force.
The argument made in some quarters,
that it is impossible to have the water
system managed on business principles,
proves too much. II it were true, it were
equally true that the city stands chance
to have the proceeds of the sale so mis-.
managed that it would find itself in q
few years as deeply in debt as it is now,
and without municipal water system to
show for it. Aberdeen is up against the
test of its fitness for self government, and
this is as good time as any to decide
the question. If we are unfit, let us pay
the price as we 60 along, and not saddle
our bIunders on posterity by fifty-year
franchise.

So much has been said about the finan
cial inability Of the city of Aberdeen to
do business on its Income and maintain
the water system, that the statement has
been accepted by many as fact. Yet,
an examination into the revenues OF the
city, and its legitimate expenditures,
fails to bear it out.
On the contrary, the revenue provided
for the coming year leaves about $40, 900
above the fixed expenses OF maintaining
the water system, payment OF salaries
and interest on bonded debt, as will be
seen by the following:

Since the offer Of Messrs. Koehler and
Mason of $l5O.OO0 for the city water
system, it is matter of some conjecture
as TO whethe: the original resolution pre-.
pared by Councilman Sherwood was the
result of defective judgment as to the
value OF the system, or desire to pur-
chase at low valuation, as suggested in
Mayor Vests refusal to approve the reso-
luton. Below is printed the original
