Show STATE LAW SET ASIDE Town Council . Abolishes Proiislon of Idaho's Constitution. Justices of the Peace have sometimes been accused of setting aside the Constitution Con-stitution of the United States when it did not agref with a decision which they wished to render, but it remained for a town board in the State of Idaho to dispense with both the Constitution and the statutes of a State at one and the same time. At a recent meeting of the Town Board of Blackfoot, Ida., the following resolution was introduced and unanimously unani-mously adopted: "That section fifteen (15) of article three (3) of the Constitution Constitu-tion and of section eighty-three (83) of an act of the Legislature of the State of Idaho providing for the organization and government of cities and villages, approved February 10, 1899, requiring all acts and ordinances to be read three times and upon three different days, be dispensed with." As the motion carried, the Constitution Constitu-tion and the statutes were dispensed with and the board proceeded to go It . alone. |
