LAWRENCE COUNTY &c
TO WORK FOR AMENDMENT

.Spearfisl,. s. D.. jan. .2-The COM
m~issionerS of this. DLavrciC"}. coun-
ty, have decided To take an active in
terest in promoting the adoption of u
constitutional amendment permitting
state aid in the construction of roads
through South Dakota.
Under the present constitutional
conditions the legislature is without
power to appropriate funds for the
purpose. h county commissioners
believe the people of South Dakota will
favor the proposed constitutional
amendment. and. therefore. the mem
bers of the board will ask the next
legislature to submit such a proposed
amendment to the voters of the state.
The amendment was voted down when
last submitted to the voters.
1T is said other states have remedied
the same condition of affairs by adopt
ing similar constitutional amendments.
The recently organized county COM
missioners' association OF South Dako-
TIA favors the adoption of such an
amendment in South Dakota, and will
give the movement it's support.

CITY ENGINEERS HOME
DAMAGED BY EXPLOSION

Aberdeen. s. d.. Jan. 22.-The kitch-
en- of the home of City Engineer Frank,
LeCocq was wrecked by an explosion
of h water pipe attachment to the
kitchen range, and the fact that Mrs.
LeCocq had stepped from the room but
u minute before the explosion occurred
was all that saved her from serious in
jury or possible death. The water had
been turned off from the pipes for Il
week and the cocks left open and it
was thought the water had been
drained off. but the pipes had evidently
clogged, retaining some water which
had frozen. causing steam to form
when the range was heated and the
explosion to follow. Every window in
the room was blown out and the stove
itself was blown to bits. portions of the
iron flying through the ceiling and
through the windows. while practically
every bit of furniture in the Kitchen
was demolished.

SUPREME COURT APPEALED
ON EXPRESS TAX CASES

Pierre. s. D., Jan. 22.-Appeal to the
supreme court will be taken in the ex-
press tax case, decided this week in the
Hughes county circuit court by Judge
Hughes. where he held that the assess
ment made by the tax commission for
1913 on the Wells Fargo and other
companies was an attempt to assess
property not in the state and on the
property Of express companies not used
FOR express business. The 1912 amend
lnent to the constitution was presumed
to make the assessment of the busi-
ness OF express companies possible, and
on the strength of this the state will
fight the case through to the end. The
express companies at present are con-
tending that they can be assessed only
upon their actual property in the state.
which amounts to "a few buildings and
horses and wagons.
