as guardian. and cross petition has been
filed by Marion Leavitt, the grandmother,
asking that she be appointed.

SUPREME COURT DECISION
Special Commissioners Must Deter
mine Terms When Land Is De-
tached From q Civ.

Inc supreme court yesterday decided
that the statutes make 1t obligatory
for judge of the district court, after
he has decided that justice and equity
require that the petition of property
owners TO be detached from a city be
granted, to appoint commissioners to
determine and adjust the terms of such
separation unless it is mutually agreed
that the commission may be dispensed
with.
The case in which this decision was
handed down was that of Don c. Full
mer and other real property owners in
the town of MapletOn to restrict the
corporate limits of that city. 1t ap-
pears that a majority of the citizens
and property holders in a part of the
city where the land is used for agri-
cultural purposes only, petitioned the
district court, Judge Booth presiding
to be detached from the city, claiming
that to remain in the city limits was no
benefit TO them and that it increased
their taxes. The judge took this view
of the matter and ordered that the sec
ton in question be detached. When re-
quested by the city to appoint commits
sioners to adjust the terms he denied
the motion, saying that there was moth
ing to adjust.
The supreme court was appealed to
by the people of Mapleton, it being
claimed that the state law giving the
| judiciary power to settle such matters
I is unconstitutional, as it delegates to
| the Judiciary power which is purely leg
! islative. 1t was also alleged that the
judge erred when he refused to appoint
commissioners and that the evidence
did not show that in justice and equity
the section should be detached.
! The Sl1nra0aa court holds that tho l. W
| is unconstitutional, although it admits
| that in some respects the point is well
| taken that it gives power to the judi
ciary which does not rightly belong to
| it. AS far as the justice and equity of
| the separation are concerned the court
| finds that there is abundance of evil
| dence to sustain this claim on the part
of the petitioners for separation. The
| decision of Judge Booth. however. is re-
versed as to the appointment of COM
misSiOners and he is directed to vaCate
his order in this matter and proceed &C
| cOrding to the statutes. The decision
| simply reverses this one phase Of the
controversy.
| A decision of similar nature was
/ handed down in the case of Alex Bar
/ ton and other citizens of Manti TO re-
strict the limits of Manti City. In this
! case the commissioners were regularly
appointed and their findings approved
| by the court, and the only question was
as to the suff1ciency of the evidence.
| The court holds that the judgment, en-
/ tered below, was based on good grounds
and sustains the decision.

The setting of cases in the district
court which was to have been done yes
terday, was continued until after the

ant then filed a demurrer to the com
