Both buildings are located in the bus

three arrests for drunkenness, one Of

another ten days in Jail.
Tuesday morning one of our boys
was called before the mayor to answer
to the charge of assault and battery,
the particular offense being the
pounding which he felt called upon to
administer to our Chinese laundryman.
This was the first offense of this young
man, and he was let off with $9.S5.

Morse and DR.. Jones dressed the

Scurry looked after Mr.. Doleske and

the assault, they had both been thru

were serving a sentence of twenty
days in the Hardin county Jail on a
charge of assault and battery. In all
probability, more serious charge will
be filed against each of these young
men, depending, however, on the con-

and short course students connected
with the extension department, the to-

showing, especially in view of the fact
that entrance requirements have been
constantly increased until the college
is commended by the Carnegie Founda-
ton for the Advancement of Teaching
for it's high standards and high re-
quirements for admission.
The largely increased attendance in
the opinion of the trustees calls for
additional teaching force, equipment
and buildings. After carefully consid-
ering the great growth of the institn-
ton and the possibilities of continued
expansion, they have decided to ask
the state for $4,000 for increase in

Webster City. Nov. 25.-1n a ruling
from the supreme court just received
in this city, an important point in the
Iowa drainage laws has been decided
for the first time and will serve as
precedents in all subsequent cases in
volving the point ruled upon. The opin-
ion was written by Justice Sherwin
and he holds that benefit assessments
on railway right -ofway shall be made
without reference to the acreage in
volved, but rather with a view as to
how much real benefit accrues to the
line as whole. The contention of the
railway company in the case ruled upon
was that its right of way should be
computed in acres and assessed at so
much per acre at an amount equal to
that assessed against adjoining for
ties.
The case in which this ruling has
line, which appealed from the assess
drainage district, No. 9, which is To-
Gated in the southern part Of Hamil
ton county. Its benefit assessment was
fixed at $500 by the appraisers and
their finding approved by the board of
supervisors The railroad company APP
pealed, holding that the highest as
sessment made against it could not be
above $240 The line passes thru
twenty-four forties located in the
Johnson drainage district. The right of
way. computed as so many acres and
its assessment in the same manner as
these twenty-four forty acre pieces
were assessed. gave the railway COM
pany the figures they arrived at. The
board of supervisors, however, held
that the assessment of the railroad
company should be made with refer
ence only to the benefit to the line, re-
gardless of the acreage involved. The
company appealed to the district court
and Judge Whitaker, of Boone, af-
flrmed the position of the county. The
company then took the case to the SUI
preme court and this latter court now
affirms the lower court. thus fixing a
new and definite standard in Iowa for
the establishment of drainage districts
and the assessments of railroads. The
manner OF assessing these companies
is now the same as is employed in fix
ing assessments against other public
highways.
