house and an incineratOr. The date
OF the election will be fixed Monday
might.
The decision to submit the matter
to q vote was reached by the commits
sion after consideration for several
weeks. There was some division OF
opinion among commissioners as to
the value Of an incinerator, and it was
decided to let the voters rule on the
matter.
Horses Growing Old.
Fire and Police Commissioner Henz-
ler is very anxious to obtain q fire
truck for the city. The city will be
required to buy new team of horses
in short time II truck is not pur-
chased, he said. Too much time Is
required in getting to fires, with the
horses which are growing old.
A modern fire truck, which can also
be used as an engine to increase water
pressure. costs 81, 900 to $4,000. The
commissioner also desires to purchase
chassis for lighter truck for use on
some calls.
Estimates were made by Commits
sioner Thompson and others on the
cost of repairs held necessary to place
the pesthouse, or detention hospital, In
good condition. The work would cost
close to $4,000, 1t isiestimated.
Rat Menace Grows. /.
Much complaint has been made OF
the dumping grounds south Of the city,
end q request was made several
months ago by citizens for the pur-
chase Of an incinerator to burn city
garbage. Reports differ as to the ef-
fectiveness Of this method Of waste
disposal.
The city dumping ground, piled with
tin cans, boxes and refuse, is said to
be thickly populated with rats. Rats
have become such menace to Fargo
that special days have been set aside
to kill them off. 1t is said they do
100000 damage a year in that city.
The menace is said to be growing In
Bismarck and even on farms.

TRANSPORTATION ACT
AMENDMENT URGED
BY UTILITIES BODY
Pass Resolution Asking Con-

Absolute Rights of IndiVid-
uaI States

The most important phase OF the
convention Of the Nationa! Associa-
ton Of Railroad and Utilities Com

max Thursday morning in the intro
duction Of a resolution urging the
national congress to amend the
transportation act so as to make
clear and absolute the rights Of the,
individual states on such traffic.
After warm discussion, followed
closely by every delegate/at the con-
vention, the resolution was re-refer-
red to the committee on state and
federal legislation. The speeches in
Dictated very strong sentiment for
the resolution, and not only for its
adoption, but also for steps that
would follow 1T up and exert every
effort to see that it's provisions are
adopted by the national congress.
Commissioner Wood. of Illinois,
urging the adoption Of the resolu-
ton, said: "In many Of the states
court injuncttons are preventing the
adjustment of claims based by ship
pers on what are evidently excess
i've and discriminating rates. The
right Of the state commissions has
become so involved by court proceed
ure and conflicting interpretations
Of the transportation act that the
resulting stoppage of these adjust
ments is deadly to the, building up
Of business. Even we In the north
keenly feel the necessity for the
establishment of absolute state
rights on the regulation Of iptra-
state commerce.
Commissioners from the various
states urged that the matter be
pushed to a definite conclusion and
that congI ess be urgently solicited
to establish definite status in the
matter.
Commissioners H. G. Taylor. Of
Nebraska, and Hugh McIndoe, of
Missouri, spoke in opposition to the
adoption of the resolution. These
speakers contended that 1t is turn
ing backward of the clocks of prog
ress to assume that the states are
insular and should determine an
decide their own transportation prob
lens. They said that according to
universal belief freight Transporter
ton is a national problem and should
be centralized in a national way.
