OPINIONON APPEAL FROM TAXATION OF COSTS.
We have heretofore held that upon appeals in suits for violations of the ordinances of the city of Minneapolis, although such suits are, under the charter, brought in the name of the state, and although in some respects quasi criminal, yet, as the state is only a nominal party, costs are recoverable as in civil actions between private persons. We follow that holding, and the clerk's allowance of costs is affirmed.
