Drainage Question
To Supreme Court
RULE ON The NUMBER OF DISTRICTS
will Decide If District May Comprise Territory
In Two Counties.

A. A. Darknell was at Harrison
Saturday on drainage matters.
He is a member of the committee
who had charge of getting out
and fling the petition for the
creating of the district and woe
there to attend a meeting of the
committee.
, The petitions have been pre-
pared and ciruculatad and theme
.cessary signatures have been Sc
cured but the committee finds it.
self confronted with another diff
ficulty. The filing fee is 5000
and the committee has no funds
to pay this amount. In fact it
has no funds at all and the mem
bers have had to advance the
money out of ther own pockets
to meet the expenses of securing
the signatures to the petition.
M. A. Kiger of Harrison is
chairman of the committee and
the committee drafted him and
made him committee of one on
finance. Not only has he the task
of raising the fifty dollar filing
fee and the other expenses Of the
committee but he has an addi-
tional fifty dollars to raise.
The proposed drainagn district
is in two counties, Kootenai and
Benewah, and this raises the legal
point as to whether a district can
legally be formed partly in one
county and partly another. If
this can not be done the only al
Tentative is to have two separate
districts created, one for Kootenai
county and the other for this.
This course would not only be
|unhandy and unsatisfactory but it
would double the expense. The
filing fee would be exactly doub-
led and after the districts were
ed AMI af.er the districts we're
formed it would take two sets Of
Officers, one for each county.
With two boards it would also be
difficult to secure unanimity of
action. For these and other rea-
sons those Interested are anxious
to have but one district if possible.
In order to do away with all
possible complications that might
arise later and also to furnish as
surance to possible bond buyers
that there will be no question as
to the legality of a bond issue it
is proposed to take the question
before the supreme court and get
its ruling before any further steps
are taken.
I'm order to do this it is pro-
posed to present the petition ask
ing the district judge to take the
necessary steps to form dist
riot comprising territory in the
two counties TO the county audi
tor of Kootenai county and he will
refuse to file it because it en-
braces territory within this coun-
ty A writ will be asked for to
compel him TO make the filing
This will bring the matter into
the courts.
The district judge will render
an opinion and an aDpeal will be
taken to the supreme court which
will settle the matter and decide
whether it will be necessary to
have the two districts.
Although the suit will be a
friendly one it will take some
money to defray the necessary
icourt costs and it is thought that
rot less than $4,000 will be need
cd for this purpose.

Innovation that, if they stick to it,
will be appreciated by the repre-
sentatives of the newspapers.
They have changed the hour OF
meeting to 1880 and last evening
the members were practically all
on time. Even the clerk was only
few minutes late.
After the roll had been called
Mayor Hunt asked if anyone pre-
sent had any matters they wished
to bring before the council. Ed.
Fisher, speaking for a delegation
from Capitol Hill asked that lights
be installed at the corner Of Todd
and First streets, and at the cor
ner of Scott and Second streets.
He was informed that as soon as
the committees we're appointed
the request would be referred to
the committee on lights.

appointed as follows: Finance,
Kirk, Noble and Nicholson; Water
and Fire, Alcorn, X Her and Car
ter; Streets and Alleys, Noble,
Kirk and Carter; Police, Public
Grounds and Building, Nicholson,

dent of the cemetary for the en-
SIRE year was read and placed on
Hhle. A communication fom ThOs.
b. Campbell asking that he be
allowed to crop the site of the
city pumping station was read
and referred to the committee on
fire and water. A communication
from Mrs. Virginia McCraig ask
ing the mayor to appoint her City
Treasurer was read.
Mayor Hunt then appointed o..
M Mosely city treasurer, and w.
D Keeton city attorney, and both
appointments we're unanimously
confirmed. The appointment Of
city engineer was postponed.
The report of the city treasurer
was read and referred to the fl
nance committee with the recon-
mendation that the committee
have the books audited.
Next Tuesday was named as
"Clean Up Day" and it was de-
cided to furnish teams to haul
away such tin cans as we're in
boxes, barrels or sacks, the work
to be under the general supervi-
sion of the streets and alleys
committee and the street over
seer.
The last business was the cleo
ton of a president of the council,
who will act as mayor and pre-
sde over the council at any time
the mayor should be absent from
the city. Councilman Ed Kirk
was the unanimous choice.

What Is The cause of the de-

it certainly should be remedied.
The three complaints mostly
heard are. the teachers are not
interested as they should be ;
parents are neglectful; children
are living 20 years ahead of par
ents in this day aud time, and
that education is being carried TO
extremes. But every girl aud
boy should be compelled to get a
practical education, and. parents
should visit the schools and see
that teachers do their duty. 1t is
a common thing here for boys

and wasting the much important

zenship, Mr. stevens said the board
was working diligently to make il GER
tain that when the new ships take car
goes, the bridges and decks will be
