Second: that the city proceeded duly
and regularly and in accordance to
statutory requirements in all matters
relating to and connected with such
extension of the corporate limits of
the city.

charter to the city of Grand Forks,
the boundaries of the city were de.
scribed by such charter and the areas
of the lands described as 1.756 acres;
and that the land included within the
territory annexed amounted to less
than 700 acres.
Fourth; the defendants allege that
Tor many years last past. tho persons
residing in the territory annexed have
had all the advantages of the govern-
ment OF the city of Grand Forks and
It's institutions. enjoying it's police and
fire protection and its public school
privileges; hat the city needs addi-
tional evenue with which to main.
tain its schools and to provide ade-
quate means for the prevention of
fires: that the territory so annexed is
contiguous to the city and that there
Is no public way for ingrcss or egress
except over and along the streets of
the city and that the city has already
expended a large amount of money in
paving its streets, i'll grading roads
leading to the university, University
Place, University park, Lincoln park,
the state fair grounds and all of the
cemeteries. and in other public i'm
provements and that Notwithstanding,
those who reside on said territory re-
ceived the full benefits Of such i'm
provements. they did not contribute
to the making or maintenance thereof.
Fifth; the city denies any irregular
ity of the ann of taking in exten.
sions to the city, but that if there had
been such. it would have been cured
in that the city had exercised .juris-
diction eel such district. had made
improvements, paved and laid sewers
and had collected taxes therefor.

With the announcement that Grand
Forks will bo represented with a fast
team in the new league also comes
the gladstone news that one of the
finest baseball parks in this. section
Of the country is to be built in this
city.
While the exact site for the new
athletic park has not been definitely
determined, 1t Is understood that the
ball grounds will be- located OH an
ideal spot about half way from the
business section of the city and the
state university.
1t has not heen officially announced
by the Grand Forks Street Railway
company that that concern will erect

Arguments in the City
Extension Case Will Be
Made Saturday Morning

Saturday morning at 10 o'clock the
arguments in the city extension case
will be made before Judge Chas. i.
T%ernpleton in the district court. All
of the testimony was taken last week
and was concluded on Monday.
Five points are made by the COM
plainants where 1t is claimed the city
had no right to extend the limits. Of
these five the n on which the most
stress liz laid. is that statute which de-
mics a municipality tho right to annex
more than one-half of it's present
area.
The five points raised by the COM
.plafnants are:
First: that the law under which the
city proceeded to extend the city linn
its is unconstitutional.
Second; that the city proceeded ir-
regularly in passing the resolution en-
tending the city limits.
Third; that the city included with
IN such extension more than fifty per-
cent of it's actual area, prior to the
extension.
Fourth; that the bulk of the lands
taken In are agricultural land and not
fit for city purposes.
Fifth; that the owners Of the prop
erty included in the extension instead
OF being benefited will be injured by
such an extension.
The City Case.
Answer is made to all of these alle-
cations as follows:s7- e.
First that the plaintiffs have mis-
taken their remedy in that the legality
of the extension cannot he questioned
in a collateral proceeding. nor at the
suit Of n private party. as in a case Of
this kind the remedy for the alleged
unlawful assumption of right to act in
the premises is by quo warranto and
not inequity. the courts holding that it
would be dangerous and wrong to per-
NIT h existance Of municipalities, to
depend upon the result of private lit
igation, common or unavoidable in the
organization of such bodies; and that
both law and policies require that they
shall not be disturbed except by some
