u. CASE HERE 1
Supreme: s Courts Opinion IS
]: Necessary Before Facts
Are All Know.

Copies Sof the syllabus
Copies Of the supreme courts syl-
itabus In the case Of the the city OF
Grand Forks. a municipal corpora
ton, ct al. vs.. the Red River Power
company, involving the question of the
collection of surcharges, were re-
ceived in Grand Forks today, but
they are hardly enlightening
than the brief announcement of the
deolsion rscsivedi here yesterday, IS
The effect" OF althe decision, how
ever, is to set aside the temporary
restraining order: of the district court
providing the Red River Power COM
pany gives sufficient bond for the pro-
lection OF patrons.
The syllabus calls attentions to the
fact that the district court originally
granted a restraining. order prohibit
ing the collection of the surcharge.
but later issued a superseding order,
permitting the power company to col
lect the surcharge If a protection
bond was put up. The Red River
Power company already has filled q
bond of 100000 for the protection
of patrons in the event that the
courts. after q hearing upon the mer-
its Of the case, decide that the sur
charge is illegal,
re Before the facts Of the decision can
be clearly ,ascertained it will be netes-
sary to receive a copy of theacoArts
opinion, for. judging from the sylla-
bus, the court either has decided
one of the questions involved or has
issued orders under the law. Point
two \of the syllabus calls attention
to the fact that before orders can be
issued, each member of the railroad
commission shall have reasonable
opportunity to offer his counsel and
judgment to the other members and
to this end it is required either that
action be taken at regular meetings
or at a meeting of which each mem
Der is advised and given reasonable
opportunity to attend" The city
based part OF it's case upon the con-
tention that the order permitting COLI
lection of surcharges raj issued at
time when the board was, not In reg.
ular session, and, therefore, was in
valid.
When the case first was heard in.
district court, the court granted a
temporary. injunction restraining the
collection of surcharges. Later, at q
conference OF counsel for litigants, the
injunction was set aside and a super
seding order, permitting the collec-
ton of the surcharge If a bond was
given. was issued. The supreme court
discretion and created a status for
the parties to the litigation which will
not be: disturbed on appeal unless the
discretioniswas3 abused""A Ie,. 49,,
The defendants, therefore. are given
an opportunity to CONTINUE the. status
