MANDAMUs
PETITION IS
DENIED TODAY

Presiding Justice Sweetland today
handed down his decision on the petit
tion OF Charles III. Carter. a taxpayer
OF the state, who sought TO have the
attorney general compelled TO sign a
bill 10 have the commissioners or the
new bridge at Tiverton enJoined from
permitting work 10 the done In viola
tion OF the act creating the commits
sion.
Mr.. Carter claims that the commits
sioncrs gave work out to the Boston
Bridge company that would cost more
Fthan $1,000 without requiring bids for
the same as by law required. The at
torney general maintained that II was
wholly In his discretion whether he
should sign the bill and that he was
not responsible TO the court but TO the
people or the state. Also that a tax
payer had no interest in the matter
such as would give the taxpayer the
right to Interfere.
Presiding Justice Sweetland thus
sums up his consideration OF the au-
thorities submitted by counsel on both
sides: The court holds that whether
the interests of the state demand that
the attorney general shall commence
proceedings as requested by this petit
tioner against said commissioners. is a
question entirely within the respon-
dents judgment and discretion, and the
court Will not control that discretion
by mandamus. The petition denied and
dismissed"
IN the course OF the rescript filed in
the case Judge Sweetland says: The
principle OF the law which sends the
'relator TO the attorney general Is that
the wrongful acts alleged are not a
source of injury 10 him as an individual
but that the interests OF the state, and
of the whole body OF the taxpayers,
and the people generally are involved.
and that the danger to the public In
terests demand this action on the part
OF the respondent representing the
state Whether or not the public In
iterests demand such action upon his
part is the question always presented
TO the attorney general In these mat
ters. This question he must determine
from a consideration OF the law, and
also the facts involved In each case.
This appears TO be judicial question
which he can determine only by the ex-
ercise OF his Official Judgement"

began a war on the Cleveland Electric
Railway company today by putting a
force OF 500 men at work tearing up the

being largely interested in the Municipal
Traction company was personally on the
ground Officials of the Cleveland Elec-
trio Railway company said they would
apply for an injunction at once.

taken because the Cleveland company re-
FUSED or neglected 10 comply with coun-
Gil resolution requiring II 10 take up its
tracks in Fulton street and remove them
20 the east side OF the street.

The Chestnut Forests of Corsica.
The chestnut forests of the island Of
Corsica have for ages been the crown
ing glory Of it's mountains and valleys,
just as at least once in it's history they
were it's salvation by offering to it's
army Of defense a secure fastness and
a means Of sustenance against invad
ers. Now disafforestation is in active
progress on every hand, and over wide
tracts the woods are disappearing, leav-
Ing the hills and dales nothing but
bleak wastes. Strong protests are be-
ing made by many Of the older inhab-
1tants against this shortsighted devas-
tatlon, which, besides destroying the
attractions Of the island as a resort for
tourists, removes the most effective
protection against ruinous landslides
on the mountain slopes under the ac-
