DEVILS LAKE TO !.
PUT IN PAVING
FOR 35 BLOCKS
Hard Surfacing Of Main Streets
will Cost Northern
City $250,000

Devils Lake is planning to spend
$25O,00O for paving at least &c
blocks of streets In the business and
residential districts. Plans and spec
ifications are now being prepared by
Atkinson & Hall, city engineers Of
Devils Lake, and it is expected that
bids will be received by the Devils
Lake authorities February 3.
John Alexander Hall, Of the firm
of Atkinson & Hall, Of which T. r.
Atkinson of this city is the senior
member, was in Bismarck on Satur-
day, comforting with Mr.: Atkinson on
the matter. Mr.. Hall states that Dev-
lis Lake is very anxious to have the
best hard-surfaced, permanent streets
in the state and although this is the
first permanent paving the city will
have, the citizens are very enthusi-
astic about the proposed improve
ment .... .s
The type of paving has not been
decided upon and it Is expected that
at least five or six different types
will be represented in the bids antici-
pated to be submitted. The proposed
work will include 71,0l2 square yards
of surface and will include the prin-
cipal thoroughfares of Devils Lake.
Mr.. Hall returned to Devils Lake
last night with the plans and specifi-
cations which he will submit to the
city commissioners there tonight for
their approval. .A ..'.

TEST OF PAPER
LAW Is BEFORE
JUDGE NUESSLE
District Court Must Decide If
New Law Repeats Old
Statute

Which one OF the several laws on
the question determine what can and
what can not be designated an OFF,
cial paper Of any city or county is
the main issue, involved in case
heard before Judge w. l.. Nuessle OF
the district court here Saturday.
The case was brought to trial by
Attorney General William LANCER on
behalf OF the state against Thomas
Hall, secretary of state; John N. Ha-
gan, commissioner Of agriculture, and
s. J. Aandahl Of the railroad commits
sion, constituting the state publica-
tion and printing commission, over
the designating of the Trail County
News of Hillsboro as the official pa
per OF Trail county October Q last.
Attorneys File Petition.
The action originated through the
filing of petition by seven attor-
neys of Trail county asking for def
mite information regarding the nam
ing of the News as the official paper
under Section 3173 Of the revised
code which specifically states that the
official paper must have been printed
one year before being so named and
must have a bOna-tide circulation OF
at least $50 persons. n neither OF
these instances does the News qualify.
1t is claimed, however, that under
the laws passed at the last regular
session of the state legislature. Sec
ton 3173 is no longer in effect mas
much as it specifies that the printing
shall have power to des-
ignate official newspapers and that
all acts and parts of acts in conflict
with this act are hereby repealed.
The later law also stipultaes that the
broadest possible. Interpretation
should be placed on its meaning.
Decision will be made this week
by Judge Nuessle.
