JUSTICE Of PEACE
ELECTION LAWS

Vacancies in approximately half
the offices of justices of the peace in
villages holding March elections in
Minnesota will occur April 1 with no
way of electing successors until De-
cember, 1880, it was revealed today in
an opinion handed down by Attorney
General q. A. Youngquist.
The opinion, clarifying the new vii
lage election law passed by the last
legislature was in response to large
number of requests from village Off
GERS as to the meaning of this law
which now provides for village cleo
tons in December throughout the
state
Some villages in the state previously
have been holding elections in March
and the others in December Under the
new law the terms of all officers will
commence at specified time making
uniform system in the state.
The opinion points out that the law
is defective In not providing any way
for reconciling the terms of officers of
the justices Of the peace in villages
formerly having March elections. IN
der the constitution the justices of the
peace cannot hold over until their
successors are elected as do other vii
lage officers.
In villages where both justice of
the peace are elected in the same year,
it will be necessary to make use of
the justice court in adjoining villages
or towns or to have the vacancy fill
ed by appointment of the governor.
In all villages which have held cleo
tons in March of each year there will
be no village election until December.
1880, Mr.. Youngquist holds in his
opinion
ALI the village officers whose terms
would otherwise expire on April 1,
1880, will hold over until December
81, 1880. except justices of the peace
The terms of Office of the clerk and
treasurer are set at two years instead
of one as formerly. The term OF Office
of the mayor or village president re-
mains at one year in these villages.
In villages which have been holding
elections in December under the 1925
law, which applied TO villages having
a valuation in excess of $3.50 per cap
ita, the next village election will be in
December of this year. the opinion
points out
The principal change which the law
makes in such villages is that here
after the clerk and treasurer will be
elected for two-year terms instead of
for one year.

Babcock states that several other paw
ing projects for 1880 construction will

The enlarged paving program is the
by the 1929 legislature, relieving the
department of part of the burden of
county reimbursement bonds due in
the next three years. Motor vehicle
license and gasoline tax receipts have
also been somewhat larger than an
ticipated, but the department was not
certain of this increase until too late
to use it in this years construction,
and the department will carry over
modest balance at the end OF the
year to be used in 1890 construction.
The longest stretch of highway to
be paved, according to the announce
ment is on T. H No. 10, from Way
zata to Litchfield, distance of SAL
miles The proposed work will con-
meet with pavements previously built,
and will give continuous hard surface
on No. 10 from Minneapolis to Pen
mock, west of Willmar, distance of
103 miles.
Two "a mile stretches of paving are
on the list One is from Detroit Lakes
to Hawley, connecting with pavement
built two years from Hawley to Moor
head The other is on No. 20, from
the end of the pavement near Cannon
Falls, to Pine Island. Bids will be
opened the same date on grading No.
20 from Pine Island to Rochester, in
preparation for future paving.
Another important link is on No. 5,
from Mankato to st. Peter, connecting
with pavement built this summer be-
tween St. Peter and Belle PLANE. Fiji
teen miles of pavement will be built
on No. 8, from Crookston to Delorme.
Eight miles will be built on T. H No.
9, between Adrian and Worthington,
connecting two stretches of pavement
built several years ago.
All of the proposed pavement will
be 20 feet wide, except Wayzata to
Long Lake, which will be u, conform
ing to the old pavement east of Way
zata
Bids will also be taken on $50 miles
of grading in four projects These
four grading jobs will eliminate five
railroad crossings and remove % square
turns and numerous other curves, and
will shorten distances a total of So
miles.
The announcemnt also calls for bids
on three bridges on T. H No. 9 near
Rushford. At special letting Oct.
Is, bids will be opened on half mile

SHOVEL DIPPER TEETH
MUST HAVE DENTAL WORK.

Repairing dipper teeth in open pit
mining is a branch of dental work
performed in the shops of the open
pit mining operators says Skillings
Mining Review. Dipper teeth on the
power shovels, made of various grades
of alloy steel, must be extracted from
the dipper lip and replaced by other
teeth. The extracted tooth goes back
to the shop to be filled and sharpened
that it may later bite more effectively
into earth and the ore bank. Many a
tooth this season has found itself
going to the "sick-bay," the miners
machine shop and forge. Some dip
per teeth weigh each $50 pounds and
are moved about by chain block or
crane.

WANTED: ANOTHER HOLMES
TO SAVE HISTORIC SHIP!

Once upon a time a young man
named Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote a
poem which so thrilled the nation that
the plan to JUNK the famous ship was
abandoned, and historic "Old Iron
sides" was saved to the people who
owed so much to her. Now there is a
need for another such poet, for anoth-
er historic ship is in danger of being
sent to the scrap heap unless patriotic
Americans rally TO her defense.

is and why it is famous, read the i'll

ELY TEAMS WIN
CANES SATURDAY

The Ely football squads romped off
with the two gaines played Saturday,
one here and otne at Eveleth. The
Junior High bows took the morning
contest in this city from the Virginia
Junior High bows on score of IA to
o. In the AFTERNOON the High School
boys defeated the lEveleth High players
on the Eveleth field by score of II
to z.
The Eveleth spdrt writer's conceded
the superiority of Ely in the hotly
contested game although making the
claim that Eveleth outplayed the Ely
boys in the first half. Even with this
the case, it must be admitted that
Ely came from behind with colors
flying. The Eve1efh account of the
contest was as follows:
"Lindy spectacular Ely high school
back, in the second half of a game
played here today with the local high
school, scored twice on aerial play
and a blocked punt to defeat Eveleth
Il to T.
ELY was outplayed in the first half,
however, j. Brinsek leading the local
team IN crushing march, marred by
penalties Protected by the toes of
the backfield, who punts averaged so
yards, Ely was able to hold them to
one touchdown and then overwhelm
Eveleth with an aerial attack In the
second half
''The Brinsek brothers, T. Agasie,
Jagunich and Kochevar carried the
bulk of the weight for Eveleth, while
Indy and R. Nicholas starred for
Ely. Officials were Erwin, referee;
Kruger, umpire; and Kriss, head
Hnesnan."

The board at this time of the year,
is putting in many sleepless nights
trying to figure budget requirements

Some are under the opinion that the
hue and cry at this time over uver-
drafts in some of the funds is being
raised for the sole and express purpose
of cutting down appropriations for
roads throughout the county outside
of the immediate vicinity of certain
city whose name is not hard to guess
