70 float a bond issue 10 pay for BRIDGES
from Bar Harbor 20 Bar Island and
several Of the taxpayers have applied
for an Injunction from the United States
court 70 prevent the carrying out Of
this plan. II is their contention that the
proposed bridge would accommodate an
island having only one inhabited house
and four inhabitants that the valuation
Of the island itself is less than the estl-
mated cost OF The bridge. and that the
proposed expenditure is more for pri-
vate than for public purposes.

ment II a State fails to adopt a rssolu-
ton OF ratification. such action Is simply
NIL, having no substantive force upon
the life OF an amendment. The Consti-
tuition itself was IN process OF ratification
by the States from September II. I7S7
(date Of adoption). TO May 20. 1870. on
which date It was ratified by Rhode
island. the last state 10 take such action.
The first ten amendments were proposed
by Congress September @. 1853. but were
not fully ratified until December 10. I7g.
The eleventh amendment was proposed
by Congress March 5. 1894. and not rati-
fed until January s, 1875.
The question Of the power OF a State
over an amendment was thoroughly
thrashed out when certain States under
took TO withdraw ratification from the
fifteenth amendment 1t was then settled
that the only thing a State could do.
potentially, was to ratify an amendment
having done which the state had ex-
hausted its constitutional power and
could do nothing further with It.
The question Of the agency by which
an amendment Is communicated to the
States IS one of taste But the other
question is vital. and may become OF
great Importance should a State which
had once failed to ratify conclude 10
take constitutional affirmative action.
especially If such State should be the
one necessary 70 complete the three
