THE CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION

As TO Who Are Legal voiers on the Sewerage
Question.
|. Section 3, Article 1, of the ConstNu-
ton of the State settles the question as
TO who are legal voters under Section
43 of the city charter. The constitu-
tlonal provision reads thus: sin all
elections to determine the expenditure
of money, or assumption of debt, only
those shall be qualified TO vote who pay
taxes on property in said city or incor-
porated town"
.. In my opinion, the safest way to de-
termine who are property tax payers is
by on examination of the assessment
rolls.
3. When property is assessed and the
taxes are paid in the name of the wife,
there is much doubt in my mind as to
whether the husband would be entitled
to vote yet | believe that in elections
of this charaotei, where il is the evident
intention of the law that each person
owning property and upon whom the
burden of paying the loan must necessa-
rily fall, should nave vote; that the
husband should be permitted to cast the
vote, especially so as the right of SUI
.frage is denied the wife.
4, Where the assessment is made in
the name of a firm o. this we under
stand simple copartnership) there is
no doubt but what each individual mem
Der of the firm would be entitled to vote.
.. If person demands to vote whose
name does not appear upon the assess
ment roll, he will be entitled to vote if
he can satisfy the judges of election that
he Is a DiODerty tax DaVer
Very respectfully,
5. G. NEWTON, City Attorney.
