COMMISSIONERS
STUDY PROPOSED
ROAD TO RIVER | ! !;
Cost of Establishment of High
way Estimated at SS75 by
Engineer Atkinson
NO OFFICIAL ACTION
TAKEN AT THE SESSION
McCurdy Gives Written Opinion
as to Commencement Term
of City Assessor

Attention of the city commissioners
last night was for the most part di
rected on the blue print submitted by
City Engineer r. r. Atkinson for the
proposed establishment of road from
Rosser street, through the Jackman
property, to the Mandan ferry. No of
ficial action will be taken until mat
tiers have been placed before the city
attorney for further legal interpreta
ton.
The report OF the city engineer as to
the approximate cost for a high
way between the Northern Pa
cific right of way and the river was
given at 1915, the sum of $3.50 Of this
amount being allowed for culverts.
This estimate, it was explained, will
include the cost Of filling the present
trail just south Of the old brewery
building in order to provide a good
highway for the Indian school. Part
of the cost, he said, could be assessed
against the property benefited if so
desired by the commission. The num-
Der of cubic yards to be handled was
given at $500.
Mccurdy Gives Opinion.
AS the result of the appointment of
E. E. Morris as city assessor for a
term Of two years, commencing Jan.
/, 1917, City Attorney F. f. McCurdy
gave ruling to the effect that the city
assessor, being one of the appointed
officers, should be under the same reg
ulation as would apply to other Off
GERS, and held that, in view Of the fact
that the city has no ordinance chang
ing the time when the assessors term
OF office begins, such an ordinance
should be passed to remedy all doubt.
The city attorney cited in his COM

Der of North Dakota's first supreme
court, said:
1.-THE expression of the sovereign
will of the legislature that a particu.

need not take the form of a law. It is
sufficient If it be in the form of joint
resolution.
1.-THE power to take the initiative
with respect to the calling of con-
stitutional convention resides in the
legislature. In the absence of any
provision in the constitution on the
subject, that body alone can give
legality to such a convention If it's
foundation is ip the spontaneous &C.
ton of the people, without permissive
legislative authority, the movement is
revolutionary.

mary manner, and without the formal
tiles ordinarily attending the enact
lient OF fundamental laws, cannot be
considered as an, implied prohibition

ORIGINAL PACKAGE RULING

BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL.
After all these years and years Of
law-making, tinkering, voting. revolt
ing, unvoting, agitation, appeals and
oratory in so many states, it remained
for the supreme court to enact pro-
hibiton!
You can look at that fact from six
different angles, and from each Of
them it will appear one of the biggest
of these times.
Does any state really want prohibit
Voe&en? Does it want in fact and not
Va N1efely in allegorv to seize the Rum
Fiend by the neck and beat off his
hideous. horrible head? Does it want
in reality and not in words to Danish

Of prohibitory laws, annihlate the
grOg shop and put an end to manu-

stop importation from other states.
The supreme court OF the United
States stood in the way.
1t had planted across the road it's
famous "original package decision
and there was no getting around that
Liquor shipped from one state to

the head Of interstate commerce. The
control or regulation of interstate
