Bismarck.
Judge Neussle has held the immi.
grafton law constitutional. Bismarck
attorneys brought action several
months ago, securing an injunction re.
straining members of the board from
putting the law into operation. They
claimed that the law was unconstitu.
tional because of creating the board
and making the appropriation for i'm
migration work in the same law. Judge
Neussle decided adversely to the
claims
If Neussle had sustained the con-
tention of the petitioners, the board
of regents, board Of control, tax com.
mission and other state boards, would
have been knocked out.

The North Dakota supreme court,
deciding the case Of Soules & Butler

Of the plaintiff, holds that the railroad
was negligent in failing to provide a cul.
vert of sufficient dimensions to carry
away the great food Of water. Nine
suits, including this one just decided,

and it is understood that one or two
others may be filed.
The rainfall in question occurred in
July %, 1914, and was one-fourth Of
result, the water backed up on the
north side Of Northern Pacific right

railroad maintained that the cloud.
burst was an element they we're not
compelled to take into consideration
in building their culvert.

REFUSES h%ON-PART|zAN
Nomination for the Legislature, and
Expresses His Views

To the Voters of Griggs and Steele
Counties:
Having been nominated at the Non
partizap convention held in Coopers-
town to run at the primaries for men,
Der of the house for Steele county,
after careful consideration, l have
decided not to run, and I want it here
understood that this has not been done
through outside influence, as not one
person has spoken one word to me to
influence me one way Dr. the other
I am getting tired Of the whole thing.
l am a farmer and feel for the farmer,
and it seems everything is conferred on
feeling for the farmer. We have the
good farming system thrown upon us
for us to pay for, and some person too
good to work like myself and brother
farmers, to have a good fat job. Then
then Nonpartizan comes along and
that looks like a good way of getting
rid ofthat awful finance administration.
We have also to get the farmers or
gained, but when it comes right down
to the point it seems as it they consider
us farmers too big fools to even help
take hold of the reins, but a self-chosen
few want to do it. So did Mckenzie
and our good old gang.
In regard to the Nonpartizan ticket,
l will say this: l believe the whole
ticket to be good clean men and have
not the least doubt of that, but I look
at it this way: Burdick made one grand
run, and he is progressive in principle
and had lots of experience, and 1 was
along to make him speaker of the
house, and l will say under oath if
necessary, that there were no tricks
played on him and that the common
old farmer was recognized as quickly
as the learned man, and he did not
turn Judas the first week, but was with
common people from the first until the
last.
l also think John Steen ought to be
returned, as a man that can stand on
his own pins like he did surely de-
serves to be returned. L also think
one railroad commissioner only should
be retired at m time. The judges
oh, we'll, it is too deep for me, but
Robinson said in his speech, "Lots of
us farmers could make better decisions
than some that had been made" and
believe that is true. About the legis-
lature would say this: Let it meet
every six years, cut the house down
one.third and the senate in proportion.
and cut out a whole pile of offices that
are created for the purpose of feeding
some nice fellows at the state trough
so they would not have to 90 out and
dig like you and +.

CHANGES At CITY
HALL DISCUSSED
Board of Safety Takes Up
Question of EnIarging
Police Station.

Enlargement and changes in the
police department quarters at the
city hall we're discussed by the
board Of safety Friday morning and
the plans were laid before the board
of works at a special meeting for
it's consideration.
II is proposed to move the "Hig-
gins Hotel" or municipal lodging
house from the city hall TO the up
per floor of the brick building on
the rear Of the lot adjoining the city
hall purchased this week by Mayor
Keller for the city. Under the pres
ent plan the detective department
will be installed in the rooms oc-
cupied by the lodging house as the
board of safety contends that it
needs more room for the Bertillon
system which Is growing rapidly.
If the plan goes through it will
be necessary TO provide for heating
the building on the newly purchased
lot and this probably will be accom-
pIished by piping from the city hall
system. A door also will be cut in
to the detective department from
the chiefs office. thus joining the
two departments.
1t also is proposed TO use the low
err floor of the brick building on the
lot adjoining the city hall for gar
age purposes. The plan is TO keep
the city machines in this building.
Very little except routine business
was accomplished at the regular
safety board meeting. The PROPOSE
ton of using horses for the three
patrol sergeants was discussed and
the board OF works was approached
upon the subject Of housing the ami
mails, if purchased, in the city barns
on St. Joseph st.
There Will be some definite an
nouncement made regarding the
proposed plans within a few days as
the board of works requested some
time in which 10 consider the i'm
provement plans.

Prest Woodrow Wilson will not

CITY MAY SELECT
CRE0SOTE BLOCK
Suggested as Being Best Ma
teriaI For the Pavement
of Michigan St.

City Engineer Anderson and his
Office force are busy compiling esti-
mates upon the proposed paving Of
Michigan St, Eddy St, Mishawaka
av. and Indiana av., for which reso-
lutions were ordered by the board
of works Monday. Thus far the city
engineer has been unable 70 give any
definite figures upon the approx
mate cose Of the proposed improve
ments, but Will probably report to
the board within the next few days,
as it is planned to have the work
completed during the coming season
if possible.
In digging back into history it
was learned that the Michigan st.
pavement has been down from IL to
% years, and the city engineer be-
lieves that it has had it's share OF
service. The pavement from WASH
ington av. to Division St and from
Division st. to South St. was laid in
1894. The portion from Washing
ton av to Division st. was put down
at a cost of $3.50 per lineal foot,
and the part from Division st. TO
South st. cost 2.75 per lineal foot.
The reason for the difference in cost
is explained by the fact that there is
a difference in width of the two
sections OF pavement.
That part of Michigan st. from
Washington av TO Colfax av. was
laid in 1898 and cost 1888 per lineal
foot, and that from COlfax TO La
sale av. cost s5.12 per lineal foot.
The latter stretch of pavement was
laid in 1899, the difference in cost,
according TO the understanding, be-
ing that the contractor for the first
stretch made too low a bid and lost
money on the work.
In discussing the kinds Of pave
ment that could be used on Michi-
gan St, City Engineer Anderson said
that creosote block was being con-
sidered seriously. Although this
material is probably the most costly,
it is stated that it is also the best
that can be secured for many rea-
sons. II was explained that the
creosote block is longer lived, more
sanitary, caused less traffic noise
and is generally considered the
"aristocracy" of pavements.
That the pavement of Eddy st.
and Mishawaka av. TO the city linn
its will provide another artery Of
travel between South Bend and
Mishawaka is the contention OF
those who favor the improvement.
1t is stated that with the widening
Of the two streets and by paving
them they will be equal 10 Lincoln
way e, and will be the connecting
link in a circuit drive from South
Bend through Mishawaka
Practically six miles Of paving i'm
provements are proposed by the
board of works during the coming
season and it is hoped that all ar
rangements can be made for starting
the work as soon as the weather
makes it possible. Hearings upon all
of the improvements will probably
be held within a short time.
