DECLARE BILL
WILL Be KILLED
Expected that Senator Trag.
eton's Measure will be In
definitely Postponed.

That the Trageton senate bill in
troduced for the purpose of allowing
the county to retain the money paid
in by the city of Grand Forks for
the bridge fund will be indefinitely
postponed on recommendation of the
house committee. is the prediction re-
ceived this afternoon from Bismarck.
This bill, . b. No. 81. which passed
the senate yesterday does away with
the provision of section 3013 of the
code which provides that cities or
municipalities which have bridges
across ~navigable itreams to MAINTAIN
shall receive back from the county
the. money paid in by the city for
bridge purposes.
The bill. however. has been referred
to the municipal affairs committee of
the house and the Grand Forks rep
resentatives report that this commit
tee will recommend the Indefinite
postponement of the measure. The
matter comes up late this afternoon
In h house and it is expected that
a fight will be precipitated on the
floor but it is hardly believed that the
house will override the recommends
ton Of the bill.
