6. Municipal Ordinances. 
Ordinances passed by the legislative body of a municipality pur- 
suant to valid authority given by its charter have the same effect within 
the municipality as do enactments of the state legislature within the 
state. 
7. Regulations and Orders of Administrative Commissions and 
Officers. 
These, when made pursuant to properly delegated authority, have

State Board of Health of Minnesota. 
8. Rules of Court. 
For the conduct of litigation in the various courts, rules are pro- 
mulgated by them which, within their proper sphere, have the force of

appendix to reports of decisions, and ordinarily they can be obtained 
in pamphlet form from the clerks of the respective courts.
