MINOT T0 HAVE. | ELECTION NES RECALL GASE Supreme Court Upholds Deci- sion Previously Given By District Court RECALL PETITIONS VALID Court Fight Is Result of At- tempt to Oust Police Com- missioner Brunner 4 ad tn iby a Hyd My cial election te determine whe' ov not A. J. Brunner shall be re: called as fire and police commis ; sioner. Thies was determined by a decision | handed down by the supreme court | late yesterday in the case of the state on behalf of the Clarence M. Gran vs. the Minot city commission- ers. In its decision the supreme court upheld a previous decision by the Ward county district court from which the city commissioners had appealed, Petition Not Invalid Commenting on the legal phases, of the situation, the decision said: “In to a petition si tors of said been examined by the city auditor and by him certified to the board of city commissioners as sufficient, it 1s such petition is not rend- cred inValid because the signers thereto failed tv add to their sig- natures their ages and length of resi- dence in the city. “2. That the board of city com- ners has no power to review the “determination of the city auditor that such petition is signed Ke a suf. ticient number of qualified electors.” These were the major points rais- ed by the city commission in its appeal from the decision of the lower etitions asking Brunner’s recall filed with the city auditor an March 18. They were signed by 1,190 voters. Later 30 persons withdrew their names. The city pe oid certi- tid that-the petitions weve. insuf- nt, giving the reason for his de- ‘fon. More petitions were cittulated and filed and the city auditor then held that-they were sufficient. The number of legal signers required was 1,042, Commissioners Lose Case Thereupon the city commission re- viewed the petitions and held that ‘bey were insufficient on the ground that the age and length of residence in that city of practically all the signers was not given and that many of the names were written by per. sons other than those purporting have signed them. The city sellise was instructed to return th Petition to the persons circulating them w it prejudice to the filing of titions. he next step was Gran’s action to mandamus the city commission toa accept the petitions, which w. sustained by the district court a appealed to the supreme court by the city commissioners who now heve Jost their case.
