around the square bodices worn by

conflict between the authorities
cited by plaintiff and those cited by
defendant as to the abstract prin-
clple to be applied in these cases,
and for that reason we do not even
undertake to discuss or analyze any
of them; indeed, such an effort
would be useless here.
However much we may personally
and individually regret the necessity
which lmpels us to hold the act in
question invalid and void, we are
nevertheless impressed with sense
o. duty under the express mandates
Of the constitution, and therefore
hold that the title TO the act before
us is not sufficient and that the act
is VOID. The conclusions reached
as to the sufficiency of the title to
the act makes it unnecessary for US
to consider any OF the other ques-
tons raised in the proceeding. The
alternative writ of mandate is
quashed and the petition denied.

kind of a provision providing aids

reasonable to look for law under

idea of the thing being within the

The question here would naturally
arise, Could the Legislature or the

the title put person reading the

The horror of the results Of the
Chicago theatre fire should be a
warning to cities large or small,
and while if a person had no more
horses it would not be necessary to
lock the stable door after his horse
had been stolen, but past expe-
rience should be warning and
cause provision to be made for fu-
ture needs, and the present is the
time to act, and if the town of
Grangeville has no ordinance it
should have one making it obliga-
tory that all public buildings
should have exit doors that swing
out, making the seating of aisles a
violation of city ordinances, and
providing what width the aisles
should have. Take, for instance,
the present condition of the city
hall, now used for court house and
theater purposes, where the doors
swing to the inside, and the wind.

when the house is crowded, ther.
would certainly be some bad re-
suits.
Another thing that should be
looked after by the city dads is the
condition of chimneys, and al
stove pipes passing through the
roof should be abolished; also the
wiring done and to be done by TIL,
electric light plant of this place
There should be some requirement,
laid down prescribing how wiring
should be done, and the overseein,
of such work should be delegated

one recommended by the fire de

authority then be given him by tn

some kind of a sewerage system

should be taken, for if a sewer is t
be laid ON Main street it will b

be after, and the need of sewer
