Water Company is
Paid in Part for
! Hydrant Rentals

Representatives of the Omaha Water
company have accepted warrants from
he city aggregating $50. $3.50 In part pay
nent for hydrant rentals. This amount
vas accepted without prejudice to the
,ase in which City Comptroller Cosgrove
attempting to collect occupation taxes
iue the city from the water company in
he sum Of sl5l .s1s.75. There is stin due
he water company from the city over
md above the occupation taxes approx
nateiy $4,000
Mr.. Cosgrove has rendered the water
company the full $1,000 due it after its
occupation taxes have been deducted, but
he company has refused to accept the
hull amount. intending to contest the
hght of the city to collect the occupation
taxes. so It is alleged.
One OF the two large outstanding judg-
nents against the city for hydrant rentals
vas paid when the water company &C.
septed the $4,000 this morning. Accrued
interest on this warrant amounted to
more than 1900.
Occupation taxes have been accumulat-
hg against the water company since Sep
.ember. 1909. The water company has
refused TO open its books for examina-
don as to the volume Of its business,
which under the law renders II liable to
. fixed tax. This fixed tax OF $500 per
month with accrued interest Is what the
sity seeks to collect.

ORDINANCE WAS SIGNED TODAY
NEW COMPANY WILL HAVE
CONTROL AUGUST 1sT.
STEPS TAKEN BY THE CITY COUN.
GIL WE'RE PRoPER-AIID.
W1NEMAN DID DUTY.

Acting Mayor s. L. Wineman signed
the ordinance Friday which grants a
franchise to F. E. Corson to operate
a light, water, power and telephone
plant in Devils Lake, the ordinance to
become effective after its publication.
Mr.. Corson who is in the city today
is very anxious to have the entire deal
complete SO that the new concern can
start operations the first of next
month. That the procedure in the pas
sage of the ordinance under the guild
ance of President Wineman was cor
rect, is evident from the following op.
inion of Judge Young.
July "a, 1912.
F. E. Corson, Esq.
Dear sir:-
Answering your inquiry as to the
validity Of the proceedings of the city
council Of Devils Lake in passing ordi-
nance No. 40, and the power and duty
of the alderman who has been acting
as mayor in the absence Of Mayor NJ,
GLORY will say that under the statu.
Of this state the city ..ouncil is the
legislative and governing body of CT
ties, and not the mayor. The express
authority and duty of passing ordin-
ances is committed to the city coun-
Gil. Section 2671, Revised Codes of
1905, requires "the concurrence of a
majority of all members elected'' for
the passage Of any ordinance, etc. A
member who is called upon to perform
his duties Of mayor during the latter IS
absence does not cease to be mem
ber-elect of the city council, and is au-
thorized to, and indeed it is his duty
to vote whether he is occupying the
chair or sitting among the members as
one Of the councilmen. An ordinance
is properly passed, that is, by a SUE
fcient vote, where the record shows
that majority of all members elected
concurred in its passage.
Section 1858 authorizes the mayor
to sign or veto ordinances or resolu.
lions passed by the council. Section
1860 gives the authority to the city
council to elect from its members a
Devils Lake weekly world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1911-1914, 1912-08-02

president and vice-president, and the
statute gives to such president and vice
president in order call the powers Of
mayor during his absence from the city
or temporary disability. Section 1876
provides that after an ordinance is
passed it shall be deposited in the Of
fee Of the city auditor for the ap-
proval Of the mayor, and gives him
five days after the passage thereof''
incase the mayor fails to return the
ordinance with his objection tby the
time aforesaid" that is within five
days after its passage, he shall be
deemed to have approved such ordi-
nance and the same shall take effect
accordingly. This section also pro-
vides that ordinances shall become op-
erative Immediately upon publication.
1t is our opinion that the president
or vice-president serving as mayor dur
ing the mayors absence or inability to
act, is mayor in fact: that it is his
duty to perform all Of the duties Of
the mayor and to sign as acting mayor
wherever it would have been the duty
Of the mayor to sign or veto. Of
course, the statute expressly provides
that ordinances which are not vetoed
within the five days are deemed to be
approved, whether signed or not, but
it is always better to have a clean
record where you have bond issue
involved, and not be compelled to pro-
duce proofs Of extrinsic fact. It is
the mayors privilege to let an ordi-
nance be approved by lapse Of time,
and this is also true Of an acting may
or, but it is always better to have the
approval signed and thus be affirma-
tive approval instead Of being COM
PEELED to get up an extrinsic record,
showing the filings in the auditors Of
fee and the lapse Of five days in fail
ure to return.
The statute makes it the duty OF
the city auditor to publish the ord;-
nance which has been either affrma-
lively approved or approved by sill.
ence. This duty can be compelled by
mandamus. There is no reason for
delaying publication in this case, and
the ordinance should be published, as
it must be in order to become effec.
tive.
We believe this covers the questions
you inquire about.
Respectfully,
! Ball, Watson, Young & Lawrence.

DAVE BARTLETT MAKES MOTION
TO KEEP STATE AFFAIRs
OUT Or NEW PARTY.

FARGO, N. D., July 2e.-There was
somewhat of a scrap today in the third
party convention which convened here
this morning for the purpose Of elect
ing delegates to the Chicago meet and
the general formation of new rartv
favorable to Roosevelt for president.
The difficulty arose over the credcn-
tial rights and whether democrats
could participate in the convention.
This together with the matter of put.
ting third party state. ticket in the
field caused considerable discussion
and little was accomplished during the
morning round, adjournment being tax.
en- until O'Clock this afternoon.
The fact that there will be no th;.a
party state ticket in North Dakota is
the sense Of the convention, a motion
being made by David Bartlett of
Cooperstown to this effect which pass
ed unanimously and will probably not
be revived before the convention ad.
