CITIES ILLEGAL
STATES ATTORNEY MILLER
MAKES RULING OF CONSID-
ERABLE IMPORTANCE TO
MITCHELL TAXPAY-
ERS.

Under a ruling of States Attorney
Louritz Miller, given today to Coun-
tyR Auditor John M. Champion, road
taxes collected from the cities and
towns an dcities. In brief, all mon
eys raised by road levies from prop
erty owners in cities should be paid
ever by the county treasurer for the
building and upkeep of streets in the
cities.
The question has been a mooted
one in South Dakota an darose
through a communication from I. A.
Polleys, tax commissioner of the
Omaha road, relative to the right OF
|the county commissioners to extend
the county road levy against property
within Incorporated towns and cities.
Mr.. Polleys stated that he could
find no statutory authorization for
the levying of such q tax on the rail-
road property within the city of Nit
In reviewing the South Dakota sta
.tutes on the question, Me-. Miller con-
.cludes that the state legislatures
have not intended to empower the
boards of county commissioners TO
levy road taxes upon prperty wlthlh
Incorporated cities or towns and en-
FLASHES that the rad fund Must be
expended fo rthe benefit of the peo-
pie Of the township in which the said
tax is received.
Under this Interpretation OF the
law amy road taxes collected from
,r%csinlents of cities Or towns should
he Cynnpdpd IN the streets of cities
or towns. He also stated that rail
road property should be governed ny
the same practice and can be taxed
only for such purposes as other prop
erty in cities and towns.

Hepperlee said that the people of his

acres We're sold at the ridiculously
low average of $15,76 per acre. A
considerable portion of this land
was appraised by Mr.. Hepperlee at
a lower figure than our field deputies

effect to making q donation of some
thing like $4,000 to the people OF

DECISION.

After a contest endurance for
three hours time, Referee Jim Mel,
cite called a.draw match between Al
Alderman and Walter Miller. of st.
Paul, after the latter had secured a
fall from Alderman in one hour and.
55 minutes. When trying for the
next fall the two grapplers worked
hard for another hour and both be-
came completely exhausted. The
match was staged last night in the
city hall auditorium before an ag-
gregation OF over 400 fans.
The match was belond a doubt the
hardest fought contest promoted by
Manager w. II. Andrews and the
spectators were thrilled with wrestl-
in of real merit. Miller and Acker-
maj were about evenly matched and
1t was hard to distinguish n
superiority. Both men are quick and

The toe hold was repeatedly at

used to- any great advantage on Ack-
erman. Miller took b defensive the
greater part of the time before the
first fall, although Alderman was
making the attack during the 10 min
utes before the fall, and had Miller
in tight places with a head chancery
and arm bar hold, when Miller broke
and rolled over. and in so doing
caught Alderman with the same hold
and succeeded In pinning him to the
mat.
It was announced last night that
