ference Of Minnesota officials and

Hoffman, bond attorneys.
In an opinion issued early this
week, the attorneys had declared
that a maximum of only $4,000, COO
would be possible this year. Addi-
tional data furnished by state Of
ficials will make possible the lar
ger loan, according to the law firm.
st. Paul, June, 4, Construction

of the SIS 100000 bond issue voted
by the recent legislature will pro-
coed unhampered, state highway

Town Roads To
Disappear Soon
New Laws Requires County Boards
To Take Over 20 per Cent Of
Them Each Year

Township roads will be thing of
the past in Michigan by 1886, un-
der the terms of recently en-
acted bill.
The new laws requires each
county board to take over 20 per
cent of the town roads in the
county on or before April 1, 1882,
and a like amount each succeeding
year until all the town roads are
taken over by the county.
In selecting roads to be taken
over each year, preference must be
given to roads carrying the most
traffic, and those used as mail
routes, and they must connect with
existing county roads, state high
ways, or city or village streets.
Provision is made for the i'm
provement and maintenance Of the
roads taken over, in proportion to
the traffic they carry, and detailed
provisions are made for financing.
Under this act, within five years
all of the township roads, approx
mately $4,000 miles, will be includ-
ed in the county road systems,
which will culiminate haphazard
rural road repair and improve
ment," says Michigan Roads. "Inas-
much as this road improvement
will be coordinated and eliminate
the smaller township unit, it is
conceded that greater efficiency,
IL -
and business management will ac-
complish much more with a given
amount Of money than has been or
would be possible under the exist
ing township highway system. It
is worthy of mention, road inn
provement has been apparent, but
this is not the rule"

The multiple decisions are unani-

things were classified by the
Roman law into public and
common. The latter embraced
animals ferae naturae, wild by
nature) which, having no owner
were considered as belonging in
common to all citizens Of the
State. s.sfa
This law obtained until after
the Norman Conquest when (
English kings claimed owner =
ship In their individual capac- 4
ity and as a personal peroga- I
tive. The barons at Runnymede
exacted from King John the .
Magma Charta in 1915 after
which wild game was held by
the king In his sovereign cap
acity in sacred trust" for the
people.
This principle came to Amer
lea through the colonies ap-
propriating applicable English
common law following the Rev
olution. Since, the principle Of
wild game belonging to the
public has become the basis Of
wild life laws in every state and
the District of Columbia, the
