TO CLEAN STREETS

BELLEFONTAINE Ohio. Aug. 1.-THE
white wings Of the town OF Lakeview,
near here, are literally white wings now.
They are ducks.
Recently the finances OF the village fell
to such a low ebb that II was impossible
to longer employ a street sweeper. so his
services were dispensed with. Still there
remained few dollars In the treasury.
One OF the aldermen proposed that the
money be invested In a flock OF ducks
which would forage in the streets and eat
the rubbish.
Lean ducks were bought and turned
loose in the streets. They start in to ear
the waste from the streets at one end
OF town early in the morning and eat to
the other end. when they are turned
backward or shifted to another street.

The opinion of the supreme court
In what is known as the Fargo bond
case was handed down Saturday.
The decision Of the court was rem
dered some time ago, holding that
the bonds were not properly author
lied and were illegal. The court,
from the opinion handed down, a
syllabus of which appears in another
column, passed upon number, of
questions raised with reference to
the bonds, which ought to clear the
atmosphere as to the power of cities
to authorize such indebtedness and
how the power must be exercised. In
the case in question, the court holds
that as the bonds were to be in the
sum of 500, 900 cor SO much thereof
as should be necessary the terms
OF the authorization were indefinite,
and did not specify any certain sum
OF bonds. The matter was not 30
clearly and definitely submitted to
the voters that they could pake no
mistake as to what they we're voting
upon and how far the debt Of the
city was to. be increased.. The CON
joining Of waterworks plant and
electric light system the court also
finds to have been double-headed
proposition, and not such as contem-
plated by the constitution and laws
sof the state. a Here too the voter
might have been deprived OF his right
TO vote Tor . single distinct propo-
sa1ition he might have desired to
vote for q water system and not for
g light plant or vice versa, an yet
under the manner IN which the mat
ter was submitted he could not have
done so. The court states, however,
that in actions brought before the
actual issue and sale: Of bonds to
dstsrmine their legality the law will
he more strictly construed than after
their issue and sale Courts usually
constr1s statutes liberally to hold
bonds valid, where they haye been
sold and the proceeds of them ap-
piled TO the purposes intended.
Otherwise, technicalities might de.
leat their flnal payment, and result
Il reputation Of Just obligations.
II Is we'll in this case that the mat
Ter came up to the court for decision.
IT IS likely the bond matter will be
submitted again to the people, but It
will have to: be in a different form

tunity to vote upon q single distinct
