CITIES BONDED
AS GUARANTEE
Entire Municipality Response
BILE for Improvements After
Districts Are Created.

The gist of an opinion rendered yester-
day by the attorney general is that cit
les are bonded TO guarantee bonds for
district Improvements. The attorney gem
eral gives the advice in response to an
inquiry from Nephi ]. Bates. city attor-
aey of Richfield, but he Is not required
10y law 10 advise city officials. The per-
tinent paragraphs in Major Breeders
opinion read:
II beg to advise you that the statutes
provide for the purpose of paving, ma
eadamizing or repaving the streets and
alleys in any paving district exclusive or
the intersections of streets and spaces
opposite alleys therein, the council shall
have power to issue bonds of the city, TO
be called district paving bonds giving
the number Of the district, etc.
1T will be noticed that when the paw
ing district has beer created and ordered
paved or macadamized, etc, and bonds
authorized TO be issued, the entire CITY
is bonded to guarantee the payment OF
such bonds but in making the special
assessment for the payment OF such bonds
only the property within said paving dis
trict Is subject to such assessment. That
is TO say. the entire city issues the bonds,
but the entire costs of such paving must
be borne by the property Immediately
benefited There IS no law authorizing
a city TO levy a tax on the property i'm
q paving district until the Improvements
FOR the payment of which such levy IS
made are completed
You are further advised that a city
cannot collect all the assessment levied
against the property in paving district
IN less than one year from the time the
Improvement is completed.
Section of Chapter 40 Session Laws
OF 1907. bears upon this point. 1t reads
as follows:
u" ANY special tax which shall not be
paid before the date on which the first
!. payment OF said tax levy shall become
delinquent, shall be due and payable only
in five or ten yearly installments. with
interest as fixed by ordinance. Provided,
that one or more installments the
whole special tax may be paid on the day
any installment becomes due by paying
The amount thereof and interest to date
of payment
This section must be construed togeth-
or with Section 25S. Revised Statutes of
1898
"A suit to recover this special tax
should be brought against the property
and not as a personal action. If the
property is sold for these special taxes
IL is subject TO be redeemed in like man
ner as other property sold for taxes,

christopher Craddock. skipper of the
Swiftsure, a vessel now in the British
Channel feet is fond OF telling A
court-martial was being held on board
the Hibernia at Malta for the trial
OF q gunner who had been drinking
not wisely but too well. The evil
dence had been taken. the finding
decided on, and the court cleared to
consider the sentence, The court
was reopened and the prisoner ush
cred in. Hardly had he crossed the
threshold when, to the astonishment
OF the members of the court he threw
himself face downward, uttered a wild
shrek and pleaded pitaousy for
mercy. Every one looked at the pres
ident, and the reason for the prison
er's strange behavior at once dawned
on their perpleNed minds. The pres
ident's hair on top was conspicuous
by its absence. and in private life he
invariably wore black skull cap.
Now. the Hibernia was one OF the
draughtiest ships in the navy. and
the deliberations had been somewhat
long. so in the prisoners absence the
president had covered his head with
its usual protector. but on the mans
reentry quite forgot to hide 1t by
putting on his cooked hat. The un-
fortunate gunner whose nerves were
somewhat unstrung as result of his
recent debauch. jumped to the con-
clusion that the wearing Of the black
cay by the president signitied that
he was to be hanged for his offesnse.

AR1OR DAY IN IRELAND.

Is being made use OF largely in fur
thering the ends of forestry.
Since Arbor day started in Nebras-
ka 35 years ago its observance has
spread all over the United States.
The tangible result in this country
has been the planting of over 6,OOO,-
900 trees. for the most part by indi-
vidual school children besides the
interest aroused in animate and mani.
mate nature and in forestry. In Ire
land a similar movement is now fair
ly launched and is rapidly spreading
throughout the country. The time set
for planting trees is In the fall. In
stead of the spring, as in most Amer
lean states. namely. the week com
mencing October 20 OF each year.
Last year a circular was issued by
the Irish Forestry society to all the
bishops. clergy and public bodies urg
ing them to organize an Arbor day
in the various districts. A hearty re-
sponse WAS received. and the support
came from all sections of the com.
munity. from peers. peasants. clergy
