MILLIONS .SAvED. FOR
CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS
RAILWAY CROSSINGS DECISION
MEANS GREAT SAVING.
City Officials Regard Supreme Court
Dictunl, as to Responsibility for
Bridges Over Tracks, as Most I'm
portant in Many Years-Two Prob
lens May Now Be Solved.

City officials say it is doubtful of any
other decision ever handed down by the
supreme court is of such material adj
vantage to Minneapolis as the decision
of yesterday requiring railway COM
panies to assume the expense of bridg-
Ing the tracks for highways and to bear
the expense of keeping such bridges
in repair for all time. It means hun
dreds Of thousands-even millions-of
dollars to the taxpayers Of Minneap
oils. All former agreements on the
part Of the city to replace bridges
which have been destroyed, as was the
case at University and Twenty-ninth
avenues. NE, and to keep certain others
in repair, are abrogated.
The decision is feather in the cap
Of City Attorney Frank Healy, who
took this position some. years ago, and
at whose instance the council deter
mined to bring test case in the SUI
preme court.
The decision paves the way for the
solution Of the troublesome grade-cross-
ings problems, the solution Of which
have been held up by this case.
Two Great Problems. a. ~.
Two such problems are now before
the council: The Southeast problem
and the separation Of grade crossings
for the entire Milwaukee system with
in the city. Plans have been adopted
for raising the tracks at University av
enue, Oak street and Washington ave
nue. Sc, but no further action has been
taken on account of uncertainty as to
| responsibility to assume portion OF
the cost. When the Great Northern
tracks were lowered on the East Side
some years ago, the city was obliged tt
bear large share of the expense anl
| to make an agreement to keep the
bridges i'll repair. Under the new de
cision the city is not liable for any ex
pense and the council can proceed will
the proposed Improvement at any time
The Milwaukee crossings proposition
is in the same situation.
The bridges across the tracks al
| Western avenue and Holden street were
rebuilt a few years ago under an agree
ment by the city to assume the ex
pense if the supreme court decided
against the city. MINNEAPOLIS is re
lieved Of this expense. The city il
also relieved of the expense of repair
ing and maintaining the crossing.
over the Great Northern tracks at Sec
ond avenue Me-. the bridges at Contra
avenue and at University avenue
Fourth street and Fourteenth and FIT
teenth avenues Sc.
The bridges across the Hastings (
Dakota tracks at Hennepin avenue an
at West Lake street have heretofor
been repaired by the city. Hereafte
the expense will fall on the railwa-
companies. The Lake street bridge j
an old wooden structure and soon
permanent one will be needed. The raj
way companies must foot the bill.

Don't curse the automobile driver.
Spend the time in learning the laws
and rules Of the road as laid down in
the Minnesota statutes. This is the at
titude Of many Of the most prominent
drivers. In Minneapolis, and Judging
from the circumstances surrounding
many Of the recent automobile acct
dents there is something to be said
in support Of the attitude Of the auto
mobilists. -,
In the last week two bicyclists have
narrowly escaped injury from. automo-
biles. In both cases the bicyclists
were attempting to pass machines going
in the same direction and in both cases
they were attempting to pass to the
right Of: the machines, thus violating
both the law and custom which regu-
late the position of vehicles on the road.
..T u t to the right when mp,eettiin3g 2?
Is the custom in America, and automo.
bile drivers, wagon drivers and BIZ

the only people who can be excused
for violating the Ttle, for in ENGLAND

this connection the automobilist states

right Of way to the vehicle which il
continuing in a straight course This
is an important law Of highway and
another is, "keep to the right in turn

All Of these rules arc undoubtedly
violated every day in Minneapolis, anC
the automobile drivers do not allege
that either violation is confined to any
one class Of vehicles.a They admit thai
automobiles occasionally err, but they
insist that bicyclists and drivers Of
wagons are extremely careless in ap

FIGHT I: For 4 r !. MIX J !.
WON BY AUTHORITIES
DEALERS RECOGNIZE VALIDITY
OF THE NEW ORDINANCE.
Hereafter All Milk Sold in the City
Will Be from Inspected Herds, No
Matter Where They Are-Capitula-
tion Of Certain Dealers Ends Years
Fight. ...-.... 49,. H.. ........-s

After months of delay and many legal
battles. Minneapolis milk consumers are
now absolutely assured of pure milk
and, City Prosecutor Al Finney has been
notified by the big dealers that they
will obey to the letter the ordinance
requiring them to sell milk from in
spected herds only.
This protection to all families has
been secured thru, year of hard work
on the part of the health department,
the city attorneys office and those
milkmen who believe in a square deal.
All milk sold now will be guaranteed
to be free from dangerous germs.
Nearly a year ago, an ordinance was
proposed requiring milk dealers in the
city to sell milk from inspected herds
only. immediately there was a COM
plant from the milk depots and big
dealers. who protested that it would
work hardship on them. The diaries
in and near the city were always re-
quired to have their herds inspected and
the city attorney and DR.. P. M. Hall
of the health department thought it
only just that those who shipped milk
to the city should be held to the same
restrictions. The city council could not
compel the country dairymen to have
their cows inspected, but they thought
they could prohibit the city dealers
from selling the milk unless it was up
to certain standard and obtained from
untainted cattle :

Ordinance Is Knocked Out.

After much wrangling the ordinance
was finally passed and a milk dealer
was arrested to test the validity of the
ordinance. That ordinance was drawn
under the old code and was declared
invalid.
Again tho authorities determined to
get pnre milk and Mr.. Finney was in
structed to draft new ordinance un-
der the new code. He did this and 1T
shortly after another milk dealer was
arrested for the test case.
The milk dealers who sell only milk
that is shipped in laid the matter before
their attorneys, but the weak points Of
the old ordinance had been overcome
and yesterday the attorneys concluded
that they could gain nothing by fighting
the ordinance and they notified Mr.. Fin
ney that the ordinance would be obeyed.
from the city and Hennepin county
diaries knew they were getting pure
milk, for the city required the herds to
be inspected. Customers, Of the big
companies had no assurance, however
am, as these companies sold more than
half the milk consumed in the city, only
half the purchasers in the city were free
from danger.
Even before the present ordinance
was established Minneapolis was known
all over the country as the city Of pure
milk, and when the last move was made
some of the larger cities wanted tc
know how 1t was done. Requests fol
copies Of the ordinance have been re-
ceived from New York city and from
Atlanta, Ga. Minneapolis requires {
higher percentage Of butter fat in thu
| milk than any other city, and on the
whole. the people are far better pro
tected from disease and poor milk thar
other city jewellers.

The state auditor has received pat

BY the state constitution the state

state. AS in some of the townships this
constitutional proviso cannot be carried
out because. of the private ownership of
the land desired, the federal government,

Accordingly, the federal officials now
