Municipal Court = More Taxes
Does Mflbank Need Another Court Attachment Help
Speud the Tax Payers Money?

The endeavor to foist upon the
city q municipal court may pos
sibly result in an election on the
question, and it will be we'll for
taxpayers Of the city to give the
matter consideration. So far as
we can judge at the present time
the establishing of such court
would be practically usless and
q very expensive luxury. Fol-
lowing are some of the points in
regard to the question:
To secure the establishing of
such . court petition signed by
10 per cent of the voters of the
city, based on last vote for
mayor.
When the petition is filed it be-
comes the duty of the city coun
Gil to submit the question of es.
tablshing the court to vote of
the city electors within twenty
days from fling of petition, and
a majority on the question is de-
cisive.
If the proposition carries the
Judge would be elected at the
next annual municipal election.
The salary of the Judge is to
be fixed by the city council at
not less than $500 or more than
$1,000, to be paid equally by CITY
and county.
The court would be open at
all times except Sundays aud
holidays, and during the month
of August.
The court would have jurisdic-
ton of all city cases, civil or
criminal, with powers Of COM
mitting magistrate in all crimi-
nal cases unlawful detainer &C
tiOns and civil action to $500 on
contracts.
Regular term every month and
Judge may call jury for any term
The city clerk by virtue of his
Office is clerk of the court. but
with out fees.
Papers served by city police
and fees and fines turned over to
the city.
Jury mileage and per diem
paid by county, the city clerk at
the end of each month to file a
statement with the county audit
or, showing jury fees and mile
age, less any fees advanced and
paid, and tile county auditor is
authorized to pay to the city the
cost of the jury on the theory
that it relieves the circuit court.
The court would permit of
quick action in unlawful detain-
er cases and civil suits which
could be tried and disposed of
within thirty days.
The above are the main fea-
lures Of the municipal court,
which an effort is being made to
put upon the city, and the fact
that such court has been fas
tened on Sisseton is cited for it's
possibility here, but the fact
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1914-01-30


take should no reason that Mil
bank shoul d follow in it's wake,
and the more the question is ex-
ahmed the more convinced one
will become that a municibOl
court will be an altogether USE
less and expensive piece of
machinery. Useless, because
any advantage that seemingly
might be secured in the quick
disposal of cases. may at the
present time be secured by the
use Of the probate or county
court, and the fact that no use is
made of this is evidence that
there is little demand for this in
termediate court. In the larger
cities municipal court may be
a necessity to dispose of city
business, but when it is consider
ed that the present police justice
court cost the city but about $23
during the past year, and that
about SIS of this was returned in
fines, the RIGHTEOUSNESS of pay
ing a salaried Judge, securing a
court room and keeping it open
for eleven months in the year,
and other necessary expenses
needs only to be stated to be
seen. The additional clerk hire,
stenographers fees, jury fees,
whether paid by the city or
county, would all have to come
out of the taxpayers purse, and
prove an increased burden on
every property owner.
If the city of Sisseton, situated
in county the size of Roberts,
finds the court an additional ex.
pense what would it be in Mil
bank and Grant county where
there is only about one-sixth of
the Litigation there is in Roberts
county.
The following statement from
j. G. Knapp, mayor Of Sisseton,
who is known to many of our
citizens as pretty level headed
authority on municipal matters:
Sisseton, S. D. Jan. p, 1914.
This is to certify that there
were tried and determined in the
Municipal Court in and for the
city of Sisseton during the year
Of 1913. eighteen civil cases and
forty city cases under the city
ordinances.
That of the civil cases, nine
were for amounts in excess of
$4,000 each. and the other nine
were for amounts ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000 each, the latter
Of which would come within the
jurisdiction of the Justice Court.
That the amount received in
fines and fees during said time
was $449, the fines in individual
cases varying from $500 to $25
each, besides costs.
In my opinion the establish
ment of a Municipal Court would
be a heavy expense to the tax

DlRIoI5LE BALLOONS.

The dirigible balloon is by ne
means a modern invention as many
people seem to think. AS. a matter
of fact, as long ago as 1884 General
Meusnier proposed the construction
of an elongated balloon which might
be propelled through the air. Ex-
periments were made with it by two
brothers named Robert, who made
several ascents and attained a speed
of three miles an hour, though the
method of propulsion was only aerial
oars worked by hand. Nothing fur
Their was attempted until 1852, when
Henri Giffard built dirigibles which,
by means of a light steam engine,
he propelled at nearly seven miles
an hour, and since then various ex-
periments have been made which ul-
timately ended in the wonderful tri-
umph of Zeppelin. - New York

SURGICAL WORK MADE EASIER
Anesthetizine Machines Render Pos
sible Operations Hitherto Scarcely
Deemed Worth Thinking OF.

Machines for administering ether,
chloroform or other anesthetics have
been devised, which make the work
of the surgeon easier and safer for
the patient. An improved machine
is being used in several eastern hos
pitfalls which is motor-driven and
seems destined not only to simplify
present methods of anesthetizing, but
to open field to surgery which here
tofOre has been almost beyond the
reach of the knife. With the new
machine it is possible to maintain
normal lung pressure while the chest
cavity is being explored, a problem
solved as a mere by-product of me-
chanical anesthesis, while the patient
is freed from distress as the effect
of the drug wears away. Gas and
air, and gas and oxygen may be
given in any predetermined amount
supplied by this machine. Eminent
surgeons believe this method of an
esthesia has a wide and varied field.

CRAZE FOR ELEPHANT SKIN
Leather Manufacturers Are Finding u
Hard Matter 20 Meet the In
ercssina Demand.

Elephant skin is very beautiful.
Moreover, it is durable. But it is
hard to get.
The price Of large elephant is
not small, and, besides that, ele-
plants do not grow within a stones
throw Of our front doors. SO the
leather manufacturer that contract
ed to furnish many elephant-skin
bags at a given time would probably
find himself under big burden. He
must wait until some tame, pet ele-
plant, so to speak, dies.
Elephants are unusual enough, so
that many of them, after they die,
are stuffed and put in museums.
Hence a named elephant, one that
has been popular during life, viii
seldom fall into the hands of leather
dealers. 1t is for the poor and wan
dering denizens of the circus and
travelling animal shows to end up on
the counters of the fashionable
leather goods shops.
Such is the fate of half a dozen
elephants that were overtaken in the
awful floods in Indiana last spring.
They were purchased by one of the
famous dealers in silver and leather
goods and converted into many won
derful bags and other trinkets.
Among these are small elephants
covered with real elephant hide, with
ivory tusks, standing on little ivory
slabs.

QUAKER CITY BEHIND TIMES
Statistics Show That Shoes Of PhlIa
delphlans Must Frequently Lack
the Proper Polish.

Philadelphia doesn't keep its shoes
well polished. Washington and
Boston do very much better in this
particular.
A merchant who knows whereof
he calculates is authority for saying
the Hub buys a great deal more shoe
polish than does this city Of indie
pendence, and Washington SURPRISES
the home of the baked bean.
Even without these trade statistics
it would be apparent to any observer
that there are more busy bootblacks
in Washington and Boston than can
be seen in Philadelphia. The great
number Of long, thin boot-shine
"parlors" in those towns have no
substitute here.
But Europe beats all Of our towns
in keeping a perennial shine on its
shoe. That, | imagine, is due to
the prevalence Of the custom in all
hostelries Of having a "boots." He
shines while you slumber, and I'm
ready to wager that you never were
able to escape from any European
inn, however small, without en-
countering the outstretched hand Of
'boots. philadelphia Ledger.
