DISTRICT MEETING
OF THE METHODISTs
HELD AT FRUITLAND

That the people of Boise are inter-
ested in the municipal ownership
problem was demonstrated last night
when a large number braved the
storm and attended the meeting of the
Municipal Ownership league in the
council chambers of the city hall.
Joseph Burns of Lincoln, Neb, spoke,
giving figures on the cost of lighting
and the cost to consumers of light and
power at points where the city owned
its own electric system. Boise, he
cited, could have artesian wells from
which water could be supplied at a
cost of less than 10 cents per 1000 gal
Ions, whereas the cost was now Is to
20 cents. Mr.. Burns was asked nu-
merous questions concerning munich
pal plants and the possibilities about
Boise. Endorsement of candidates for
city offices was not discussed. but will
be taken UP later at a meeting to be
held next week.

Attorney General Hands
Down Opinion on Proceed
ings in the Upper House
on the Bannock Division
Measure.
MEANS BILL GOES
TO THE GOVERNOR
Understood Contest Against
Creation Of the County
Will Be Instituted in the
Supreme Court.

Attorney General Walters this after
noon gave Lieutenant Governor Parker
an opinion that the bill creating Port
neuf county out of Bannock had passed
the legislature.
This measure passed the house and
was defeated in the senate but the SEN
ate later passed 1t on reconsideration.
The president of the senate held,
however, that it had not been enacted
because it was in the possession of the
house.
The attorney general holds that the
senate had not relinquished jurisdiction
over the subject matter Of the bill be-
cause of its technical possession by the
house. The notice for reconsideration
and action on it presupposed jurisdic-
ton. Mere physical possession was not
demanded.
Under that construction the measure
will now go to the governor. If it shall
be approved it is understood a contest
against it will be instituted that will be
carried to the supreme court.

no particular benefit to anyone.
