Decision Denies Town Elections Present Dane Officers Hold Posts Until 1932, Says Ruling to No elections of town officers, except Justices ot the peace, can be held in Dane county in 1931 and the present officials can hold their offices until the spring of 1932. according to an opinion by the attorney general's office given Dist. Atty. Fred Risser today.

Increase of the population of the county to more than 100.000 automatically changes the elections from an annual to a biennial basis and they must be held in even numbered years, according to the statutes, the opinion says. The question submitted to the attorney general was whether or not the present officers can hold office until the 19,32 elections, since they were chosen for one-year terms. The attorney general holds that since the statutes provide that they hold office until a successor is elected and qualified and sets the da.te of election, the officials elected in 1930 may hold office until 1932. The opinion was written by J. Messerschmidt, assistant attorney general.

Whatever its source, however, it turned Madison pedestrians into a city of snobs who trod the streets with noses in air, sniffing disdainfully and glancing with suspicion at every passerby. As the day wore on, scattered reports gave indications that Madison had been visited by the most widely influential skunk that ever lent Its aroma to the cultural atmosphere ot the capital city and one place where it was particularly evident was the rotunda of the statebouse itself.
