public sentiment" says Mr.. Pearson.
These raiders must be repelled and
our nineteen great National Parks
held in tact"
Among the efforts being made to use
National Parks to commercial advan-

Fargo, N. d. Dec. 14.-Final solu-

the opinion Of r. j. Weiser, president
Of the First National Bank OF Fargo.
In letter he has addressed to

together for conference, to go over
with them the situation and to urge
adoption of policy by which farmers
would sell at least 20 per cent CT

Surely an appeal of this kind will

CITY INFORMED
ON POWERS OF
=. ISSUING BONDS
City Attorney Gives Opinion
Asked For in Considering
Water Case
APPLICATION FOR LIGHT

Information regarding the laws gov
erning the holding of special election
was submitted to the city commission
last night by City Attorney II. F.. o.
Hare, in response to a request, from
the commission, asked at a discussion
Of the water situation.
The city attorney also outlined the
powers of the city to issue bonds and
to make special assessments. The
1919 legislature provided that the debt
limit of any city should not be in
creased in any fiscal year prior tG
July J., 1921, more than 25 per cent
nor should the total increase be more
than upon limit now fixed by law
on a basis OF. the assessed valuation
Of 1918, the commission was informed
This limitation, the city attorney
said, is in conflict with the constitu-
ton, which provides a debt limit Of
4 per cent of the assessed valuation
without regard to existing indebted
ness of the city for the purpose nf
constructing or purchasing water
works systems, etc.
The assessed valuation of the city
is about $7600,000, and under the 4
per cent limit the city could incur a
debt of about $3O4,000 for the construc.
ton of a water works system, the
commissioners figured. Based on es-
Inmates previously submitted this
would not be sufficient to construct
a complete new system.
The city attorney advised the COM
mission that he believed the city has
power to purchase Or build water
plant and pay for it by special as
sessment warrants against the water
works and water main district of the
city.
In the event Of bond issue for
such purpose, a special election is nee
essary., No special election is nee
essary to give power to issue warrants
the city attorney advised.
One state law requires Is days no
tice of special election for the put,
pose of voting on bond issue anil
another requires 20 days, the com
was informed. For special
elections for other purposes 10 days
notice is required. ~ -"
It, was the general sentiment of
the commissioners that in view of fall.
ing prices no definite action would
be taken on the question at this time.
Some of those interested in the water
question do not favor calling spc-
cial election and are against the
bond issue method of providing money.
They hold the bond issue limit would
not give sufficient funds to build 4

method.
The city weigher reported to the
that $207.2O fees were
earned during the month Of Novem-
Der. A petition was received for the
placing of an electric light at Eight
and Sweet streets on the south side,
at the corner of the Second Baptist
church. A request was made for d
light in the eastern part of the city.

sioners that there is no money avail
