The Pioneers contention that
minutes of public records should
be spelled out in full and that all
resolutions levying taxes, sewer as
sessments, sidewalk assessments and
other resolutions pertaining to the
public welfare should be written out
in full, is sustained by the following
clipping from the Commercial Bulle-

supreme court decision and it is as
follows:
The Iowa supreme court has
handed down a decision which
leaves an unlucky sewer contractor
with an unpaid claim because of
the council proceedings failing to
show that the sewer resolution was
adopted by an aye and nay vote,
and further because the notice for
bids was not technically correct in
specifying the extent of the work
and the kind of material. Con
tractors bidding upon city work may
yet find that they have to have an

guard them against such expert

.RUMORED EXTENSION OF
lTASCA LOGGING ROAD
Said That Surveyors Are Running Pro-
posed New Line North from
Big Fork.

It is rumored in railroad circles
that the Deer River Logging road
will extend their line from its present
terminus near Big Fork to the Little
fork river this year. A force of men
are now engaged in the work of
cutting right-of-way and it begins to
look as though there may be some
truth in the rumors.
Nearly every year since the Itasca
logging road was first constructed,
there have been rumors that the
road would be extended north to the
Littlefork river. In fact, extension
north to the boundry line was the
principal object of the original pro-
moters of the road, but logging opera
tons were so heavy in the country
traversed by the line that but little
BUSINESS of any other nature was
attempted.
However, there is a demand for a
railroad north of Big Fork, in Itasca
county, and it is more than likely
that the present rumors of building
activity are founded on fact.
