SEWER COSTS
ASSESSED IN
CITY UPHELD
Supreme Court Hands Down
Decision in Case Involving
Numerous Lots
NO REsERVAt GROUND

The supreme court, in decision
handed down today affirming an as
sessment levied by the city of Bis
marck against property for construc-
tion of Il storm sewer, said the court
has repeatedly held that the owners
OF property affected by a special as
sessment are precluded on the ques-
tion of benefits by the action of the
special assessment commi iss ION as re-
viewed by the city council or COM
mission, and that there is no relief
from their determination unless there
exists some one of the usual grounds
for equitable interference such as
fraud or mistake or by some defect
in the proceedings rendering the
special assessment invalid
The suit was between the Bismarck
Homes Builders Company, owning
several lots in the Flannery and
Weatherby Addition, Bimarck. In
1916 the city ordered storm sewers
constructed, and one was constructed
in the lower section of the city, prin-
cipally in the business district, on
which the plaintiffs lots were as
sessed. 1887 each. The sewer is
about 1000 feet from the plaintiff S
property and is free from storm wa
ters, the court said.
The home builders company said
that the assessment was invalid be-
cause the sewer was constructed
within several sewer districts and
property in each was assessed for
construction work carried on in an
other; the costs were not properly
apportioned, the constructed sewers
covered different drainage areas and
that the property assessed was not
benefited. The evidence at the trial
In district court was wholly concern
ed with the question of benefits
and proper pro-rating of costs, the
high court decision said.
Since the appellant has failed to
establish that any ground for equit-
able relief from the assessment. not
other Judgment than that which was
rendered by the district court would
be warranted under the numerous
decisions and adjudications of this
court, the supreme court decision
said.
The case was appealed from dis
rlct court when Judge Nuessle was
ITS judge. In the high court, Judge
Pugh sat in place of Judge Nucssle.
The decision was written by Judge
Birdzell.

Irrigation To
Continue This
Year, Belief

Williston, N. D., April 21.-No ac-
tion affecting the operations for the
present year is likely to be taken by
the federal department at Washing
ton, to which has been submitted a
committee recommending that the
Williston reclamation project be
abandoned. according to a telegram
received here from Manager w. S.
Arthur, who is in the twin cities Sc
curing beet workers. Instead, Mr..
Arthur states, the future will depend
largely upon results in the highest
degree for operation this year, quot
ing +. f. Weymouth, chief engineer
of the reclamation service with head
quarters at Denver as the source of
this information. A pumping unit
and sluicing outfit has recently been
petitioned for and is now believed to
be enroute.
1t Is generally recognized here that
the abandonment of the project at
this time would mean the cancella-
tion of the most favorable prospects
the farmers of the district have ever
had before them. The beginning Of
the effort on sugar beets last year
developed that this area is especially
well fitted for their production, and
since arrangements, have. been pro-.
vided for their marketing, the
initial eight acres of last season are
being '. expanded to near 500 acres this
year.

ASKB0ULEVARD
GARDENS HERE
. BE ABANDONED
City Commission Hopes Citi-
Zens, Will Cease Practice
Growing Up in War
PLAN A LAWN RAFT
City Commission Later on
Will Provide Special Induce
ment to Keep Lawns I'm

The city commission hope people
will not plant gardens in the boule-
wards this year.
Discussing this last night, members
of the commission took the position
that it is unsightly to have potatoes,
corn and other products growing in
these spaces, and united in an in
formal request to the people to
abandon the practice.
1t was pointed out that the boule
ward garden idea grew up as a war
emergency, and that this emergency
is passed, there being plenty of gar
den space available in the city.
The commission is not likely to
take any stern action to stop the
practice, believing that citizens gen
orally desiring to have Bismarck an
attractive city, will heed the request.
1t IS planned by the commissio
later on, it was said. to establish a
water lawn rate which will enable
citizens to keep up fine lawns at
regular water rates. The rates will,
OF course, be IN the nature OF an
emergency, but it is hoped that it
will prove not only Il benefit to the
citizens and the city generally in
identifying it but also will provide
fair revenue to the city water works.
1t was said by City Engineer At
kinson at the commission meeting
last night that work on the intake
for the new filtration plant will be
resumed Wednesday by the Wood
rich Construction Company. The RI
yer has dropped several feet re-
Gently. 1t is expected that the in
take will be in by the middle of May,
and about that time the new filtra-
tion plant may be used

GIRL BANDIT
SURRENDERS
IN FLORIDA
ROb-Haired "Gun Girl Who.
Terrorized Brooklyn For
Several Weeks Is Caught
Both Planned and Executed
R0bberies - Baby Born
Shortly After Last Holdup

jacksonville. Fla, April 22.-(By
the A. P)- Brooklyn's daring bob
haired bandit, known now as r'ain
Celia Cooney, neared New York City
today to face charges growing GU. of
her spectacular holdup exploits
which terrorized the metropolitan
district for three months. With her,
in the custody Of two New York de-
tectives, was her husband ana ac-
complice. Edward Cooney.
Trailed through twelve states in
her dash to find solitude in haven
of safety in which to give birth to her
child, the slender, 20-year-olG gun
girl, was arrested here late Sunday
night with her husband just after
they had buried the Today old baby
which was born less than fortnight
after her last lob" in Brooklyn. For
IA few hours they were kept in the
local Jail where they made detailed
con fessions of nearly a score of, hold
ups. Then they were placed on Il
train which will arrive in New York
late this afternoon.
Surrenders Easily
The bandit queen surrendered
without fight, although she exhi-
bited flash of her former iron
nerve when, standing beside her hus-
band. both with drawn revolvers she
halted the officers as they swept in
to their quarters in Il rooming
house and cody compromised with
the promise not to shoot if they held
their fire.
"The death of my baby which We
loved, somehow softened my heart"
she said | did not want to fight. 1t
all looks different now"
She told how her husband had beg.
ged her to let him shoot her tC save
her from capture and then kill HIM
self. but observed smilingiy:
"We couldn't quit that way"
Blames Herself
Mrs. Cooneys baby was born in a
local hospital on April II, ten days
after she and her husband attempt
ed to hold up the Brooklyn plant of
the National Biscuit Company during
which the company's cashier was
shot and seriously wounded. The
baby, a girl, died last Saturday and
was buried the following day.
Both assumed blame for the shoot
ing of the cashier, which IS cxpecte d
to produce a charge of attempted
murder against them in addition to
alleged robbery and grand larceny,
In<o
Cooney, 25 years old, declared that
he was the brains" of their opera
tions and that it was he who did the
shooting. The bandit mother con-
tradicted him by declaring "if it
hadn't been for me Edward would
have gone straight. | was the cause
of all the trouble. He never did any
Of the shooting"
Both willingly waived extradition.

VANGUARD NOW
MOVES TO MEET
AT JAMESTOWN.
Convention, With Most Dele
gates Uninstructed, May
Do Almost Anything
NO SURPRISES SEEN
Endorsement of Present Of
ficials Expected Without
Much Opposition
NO SURPRISES SEEN

The vanguard Of the delegates and
Others who will attend the state
"Real Republican" convention at
jamestown tomorrow is arriving in
jamestown today. Probably SO will
go to jamestown from Bismarck for
the convention. including Governor
Nestos, who goes tonight, and many
state officials.
Additional reports from various
counties in the state show that the
majority Of delegates are uninstruct-
ed in the convention, and therefore
anything may happen. The indorse-
ments given to Governor Nestos IN
many county conventions and the alb
sence Of any avowed candidates, or
Endorsements except for L. L. Rus
y sell, implement dealer, by Eddy
county, makes the Endorsement of
the Governor certain with little de-
lay
There will be a lot of conferring
.-.efore all other candidates on the
ticket are named. It is known that
Morton county will present can
didate for Secretary If State, whose
name is being guarded closely. AL
i ready M. w. Duffy and d. E. Shipley
are candidates for this place.
The positions which must be fill
ed include: Lieutenant-Go Governor,
Attorney General, for which George
Shafer will be reindorsed; Commits
sioner of Agriculture and Labor
Treasurer, Auditor, Commissioner of
Insurance, Railroad Commissioners
Walter Worner of Bismarck and
John Steen, retiring state treasurer,
ire counted candidates for state au-
,tor while John Lyhgstad, deputy
tate treasurer, is the only avowed
"andidate to succeed Mr.. Steen. F.
: ". Friis Of Kenmare is candidate
or Commissioner of Insurance.
The attitude Of the convention on
Endorsement for the supreme
bench and state superintendent of
,ublic instruction must be defined
be the delegates. II is generally pre-
icted no Endorsement will be made.
There will be Endorsement for con-
,.ressional candidates. No opposition
soo OBJ. Burtness, incumbent. has
cen shown in county conventions,
lille in the second district candi-
,ates include Thomas Hall, Bis
!larck; ]. E. Davis, Goodrich; Ed.
NTH, Glendale, and f. A. Williams
Il Bismarck. The latter is not eX-
ected to enter convention fight.
1t is probable that fight will be
made by some for an Endorsement
or state superintendent. Miss Min
ne J. Nelson is candidate for
endorsement, while it is expected
liss Bertha r. Palmer also will
eek the place.

IRE, to which body he will seek
