A LOCAL FIRM GETS

COMPETING AGAINST -FOUR OUT.
SIDE COMPANIES THE PIO.
NEER BRIDGE COMPANY IS
GIVEN CONTRACTS.

Monday the county commissioners
spent a goodly portion of the day
in going over the bids submitted by
five firms for the construction of the
bridges that are to be built in the
county this year. The firmh present.
ing bids were Monarch Engineer Co.,
of Falls City, Neb., Standard Bridge
Co. of Omaha, Ward & Weighton,
Of Audubon, Iowa, and the Pioneer
Bridge Company, of Mitchell.
Bids were submitted on the various
types of bridges, and after summing
the different propositions, the con-
tract for the entire work was award
ed to the Pioneer Bridge Co., its
price being on an average ten per
cent lower than the other bidders.
The Pioneer Bridge Co. is under
the management of A. n. Bjodstrup,
| in which he is associated with his
father, Fred Bjodstrup, who has
been in the bridge building business
in this city for a great many years,
aside from doing an immense amount
of contract work in the way of build
ings Mr.. Bjodstrup has, constructed
quite few bridges in the county in
past years, and they have stood the
test of time aud hard usage. The
Pioneer Bridge Co. is engaging more
extensively in bridge work and Ii
reaching out after more contracts In
other counties. The fine reputation
the company has at home is guar
lantee of the work they will do fol

Sioux Falls S. D.-There was

interested in the article first from

BANKS LOSE OUT IN
ASSESSMENT CASE
SUPREME COURT HOLDS TT WAS
NOT IMPROPER TO VALUE
THEM AT 40 PER
CENT.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-.Ninnehaha
county was yesterday awarded big
victory by the supreme court of the
state in the SO called "bank tax
case" when that tribunal reversed
the order OF Judge Jones in the cir
cult court and sustained the demur-
rer of States Attorney Bergh to the
trial of the case. The amount in
volved was about $4,000.
The case originated over year
ago, when the State Banking and
Trust Company and the Sioux Falls
Savings bank commenced sNit against
the county to recover waat they
claimed were excessive taxes.
This was caused by the action of
the state board of equalization, which
raised the valuation of bank stock to
40 per cent, while other personal
property w as valued at 33 1-3 per
cent. The banks claimed that this
was unfair and contrary to the pro-
vision OF the constitution which
holds that all taxation shall be uni
form.
The county contended that the
law provides for the classification of
property for the purpose of taxation
which implies that different classes
shall be taxed differently and fur
ther contended that the law provides
that all property shall be taxed at
its full valuation and that as the
bank stock was only assessed at 40.
per cent of its valuation the banks
could not object.
The county also clai1fed that, as
all bank stock was placed on the 40
per cent valuation there was no dis
elimination.
The case was brought by the two
state banks of the city year ago
last February, objecting to the pay
ment of the 1910 taxes. States At
torney Bergh, on behalf Of the coun-
ty deinurred to the comnlaint OH the
grounds that it did not constitute
sufficient grounds to constitute an
action. Judge Jones overruled the
demurrer and Mr.. Bergh appealed
to the supreme court.

OFFICERS MAY TEST
RULING BY JOHNSON
IN NUMBER OF NEW COUNTIES
COUNTY OFFTCIALS ARE LINZ
TIED TO ONE ELECTION
TERM.

Pierre, S. D.-The recent opinion
OF Attorney General Johnson, in re-
gard to the length of time an Off
Ger can hold, which was called out by
a request from Minnehaha county in
regard to the register of deeds from
that county, and which also applies
to the register of deeds of Fall River
county, has much wider application
when it comes to the newly organized
counties CT the state. The attorney
general holds that the constitution
limits the time of office holding OF
all county officials except clerks OF
courts and county judges. to foul
years. If an officer is appointed OF
elected for a part of a term, he can
hold another full elective term, anG
the rest of four years on second
elective term, but no more, and al
the end of four years his term cx-
pires by constitutional limitation
and that any acts on his part after
that date are void.
TO the newer counties this means
a great deal. Corson county was or
ganized July 10, 1909, and any o.
the officials of that county, who We're
selected at the first special election
and reelected in 1910, could only
serve TOR a short time if they should
be again elected this year. Dewey
county was organized Nov. 8, 1910
and the officials of that county woul(
not be far off only for the fact that
unlike regularly elected officials the,

organized May 25, 1911. and is il
| the same situation as Ziebach. Ben
nett county is to be organized mex
Tuesday, and its officers on a secont
election would have nearly, but no
quite two years left to them unde
such ruling. With so many official
affected in these new couneits,
would not be at all surprising to Sc
the question come to the suprem
court for an adjudication by som
of those affected.

ty committee will be appointed,
which will lay the basis for the more

that John Nelson should have charge

The men of the north route held a
conference in one of the adjoining
rooms in the city hall and discussed
some features of some road work
that they propose to take up at once.
From the enthusiasm of the north
route men, there is every reason to
believe that in the course of a short
time they will have roadway built
from Sioux Falls to Mitchell to con-
meet with the south roadway in this
