% SP;G{on an mr. E , it: on bond issues,
to the effect he 1921 session laws
repealed Chaprer 265, which authos-
lied the issuing Of road bonds. -
. Mr.. Masslich writes as fellows:
"Dear Mr.. Johnson -.
"In answer. to your letter Of re-
cent date, I am Of the opinion tfat
Chapter 1923, Session Laws c. Min
nesota, 1921, BY Section - tr'reot,
has repealed Chapter 265, Laws Of
1919, under which latter act author
ity had been givento issue the $780,
600 Beltrami county road bondss
"In my opinion it is not safe to
regard the Saving clause at the end
of section 8 as saving any proceed,
inqs that were begun in this bond
matter before the passage of the
1921 act. That saving clause declares
that the act shall not affect any pro-
ceedings which at the time OF the pass
age of this law have been instituted
for the establishment, vacation, alter
alton, laying out, construction or re-
pair of any road or the assessment
and payment of damages thc1 efor, or
the collection and enforcement OF
any taxes levied or assessed for road
purposes, including road labor as
sessed." 4z$t:.4.
"There is no reference to- bonds in
this saving clause. Bonds are provid-
ed for, however, under another Sec
ton of the new law and unless your
supreme court should hold otherwise,
which I think rather improbable, !
would hold that authority to issue
bonds under chapter 265, laws of
1919 has passed away by this express
repeal.
"There are other reasons, given to
you in my correspondence, for regard
ing the authority to issue these
bonds under the proceedings taken 'as
having expired. I refer particularly
20 the fact that the greater part of
the roads for which the bonds are au-
thorized have been built from other
funds, making bond issue unncc-
essary.
"Yours very truly,
49,. C. B. Masslich."
The issue has been offered and re-
offered and bidders have agreed TO
buy them, subject to the approval Of
their attorneys, but in each instance,
they were refused.
The last session of the legislature
authorized the board to sell below
par if needed, but this did not seem
to dispose of the bonds. Auditor
Johnson has worked, hard and tried
every possible channel to make the
deal for, Them. but feels now with
the opinion received that another
course must be pursued, which is to
put it to a vote Of the people.
The impression which has gone out
that the board had sold the bonds,
should be entirely disregarded. Work
on the Babcock highways will be
rushed most vigorously, and will not
be effected in any way by the failure
oft he bond sale.

 Taking into consideration the fact that the car was a brand new ma chine from the factory, taken from stock. and that the engine never hay ing been limbered up, was impossible of being turned over by hand, this demonstration proves remarkable performance of hil lclimbing ability by the Oldsmobile four.
