IMPORTANT Decision case of Geo.
w. Pike Us. TIE City of White Cloud.
commenced at the last September term Of
our District Court, was decided last week,
in favor of the City. The City Council
passed an Ordinance, last March. requir-
ing the payment of license of sixty dol
lars for the privilege OF keeping Saloon.
Pike obtained license, end paid his
money. He afterwards sold out; and,
doubtless, ct the instigation of meddle-
some or spiteful persons, who wished 10
cause trouble at the expense Of somebody
else. be sued the City for the recovery Of
the license money, as having been Illegal
ly obtained. He depended upon pro-
vision of some Law. which prohibits cities
OF less than one thousand population from
issuing liqnor licenses. But White
Cloud is working under Charter grant
ed before the passage of the law in qnes-
tion. The Court decided that the City
has the right to demand license fees; bat
that. not having population OF one
Thousand, they have not the exclusive
right. bot that the Comfy may exact an
additional license. The Conrt further
decided, that cvsn IL tho Charter had not
granted the power to issue licenses, Mr..
Pike hal no remsdy. inasmuch as be
paid the fee voluntarily, and without COM
pulsion of law.
1t will therefore be seen that the City
Charter is sustained, and that the Mayor
and Council have full power to make and
enforce ordinances. Let them do so, and
hencefo,th have strict law and order in
ths place.
We suppose those persons who were SO
liberal 10 advising Mr.. Pike to bring suit.
will not be so forward in helping him to
pay the costa.
