ti~on-Important Recommendation are Made by the
Legislative Conrnittee-Close Session Today.

topic particularly interesting to tho
municipal officials Of the state.
/. Eight Recommendations Made.
Eight important legislative recon.
by the legislative committee. The
recommendations affect municipal
government. and are as follows:
Establishment Of n%on-partisan
municipal elections.
Giving cities power to construct
sity Of having to do such work
under the contract system.
Provision compelling county
~treasurers to make out receipts in
triplicate, giving city Or taxing
district officials from which tax
is certified one copy Of the re.
ceipt from. day to day.
Giving municipalities power to
establish market places and main -.
tain public slaughtering houses.
Granting Of further power to
cities in matter of compelling
use OF city scales.
Change in law relating to city
deposits. making rate Of interest
from 2 to s per cent. and allow
ing deposits in other than state
and national banks.
Placing OF all municipal I'M
ployes under civil service.
1t is not probable that the plan o
compelling the issuance of triplicat'
receipts by the county treasurers will
not be pushed, as considerable oppo
sition to that proposition was brough
out during the meeting.

tractors we're charged to have beef

council each time Il contract Was to

or not the bids by the contractors
were unjust.
Separate Taxing Boards.
Under the present laws Of the state,
the city council has no power over
the boards Of education and the park
commissions. There are, in the cities
tional boards. three distinct tax levy
Ing boards, and several Of the city
officials have contcnded that such a
condition is not desirable. Each Of
the several bodies works independent
OF the other, and 1t is contended that
some years the total tax levied by
reason Of the system may be greatly
In excess OF what the tax PAYERS can
stand.
The movement for tho change in
the city charter law of the state which
will grant cities the power to estab.
fish municipal slaughter houses has
quite general support in many cities.
The idea had it's inception in Grand
Forks. where for come time the plan

The present laws make it impossible
Tor cities to engage in such enter
prises.
Find Big Field.
Many municipal officers from all
sections of the state are attending
the meeting. and the indications are
that the Municipal league has found
a good field in which to operate. The
league was organized only about six
months ago through the efforts OF
Mayor NJ. F. Murphy Of Grand Forks.
and he called the first session. which
was held last winter in this city.
The establishment of a municipal
information bureau is one Of the i'm.
portant features that is being under.
taken by the organization.

raised was not completed. another ses.
