The supreme court of the state

of Judge Galloway of the circuit
court of this county when 1t de-
clared unconstitutional the leglsla-
tive act passed at the last session of
the state legislature providing for

better known as the Crater Lake
road. The opinion in the case is
written by Justice Mcbride and it is
concurred in by all of the members
of the court save Justice King, who
rendered a long dissenting opinion.
The act in question in substance
provided for the appropriation of
100000 by the state for the con
struction of the road on condition
that Jackson county should appro-
pirate the sum of $4,000 for the
construction of the road from Med
ford to klamath Falls, and upon the
appropriation of a like amount by
the county of klamath for the con-
struction of the road in that county
The appropriation was made by
Jackson county, commission to
supervise the expenditure of the
money appointed, and then an ac-
ton was commenced by taxpayer
by the name of I. X. Sears, through
his attorney, L. H. Mcmahon, for the
purpose of restraining the state
treasurer, the secretary of state and
the governor from the payment of
the amount appropriated by the
state. The case was instituted in
the court Of Judge Galloway who
held the act unconstitutional and an
appeal was then prosecuted to the
supreme court.
Held to Be Local Law.
In the rendition of the opinion
Justice Mcbride takes up the point
