NEED NOT KRGIsrER.
Any Hector May Vote on the Subject OF
Bond Issue.

Bond Issae.
The imminence Of the special election
has stirred up the question Of registration.
but the opinion of Corporation Counsel
Donworth disposes of that. and nobody
need register this year as there will be no
election of officers until next March. His
opinion is as follows:
have your request for an opinion regarding
the necessity of registration OF voters for the
special election to b. held June d
In reply will say that the supreme court of the
state havs recently settled this question BY the
opinion liz the case of Edward seymour Va the
City OF Tacoms, flied March p. ls9l That case
involved the question whether IL was necessary
for voters to register in order % vote ut tho
special election held in Tacoma in the month OF
April. at which the city voted on the purchase
OF q light and waite, plant In that case the SUI
p.emc court said:
I'VE have but one registration law in this
state, which 10 found in chapter s General
Stasnsea section 4c' declares that the pro-
visions of the Law shall apply 10 all elections
for municipal and other oficers: but We fail to
nnd any application OF il to elections OF this
kind. 6ectioA OF the charter requires fegistra-
ton "a provided BY the general laws OF the state.
and section IL deciaycs that person shall be en-
titlod TO vote unless be IL . qualified elector
under the state iaws, and has registered ~ pro-
vfue0 Oy law. But tuexe OeluX no oIoI0 INV To-
curing registration at elections Of this char.
acter. these provisions OF the charter are inop-
erative, and any elect0r can vote. Tho
amendments to the registration law passed in
1898 DO not affect this matter
The charter OF Seattle does not mention regis.
tration - . pre- requisite for voting, and con-
seqaentiy the opinion OF the supreme court ap-
plies eli the more strongly to elections here.
In my opinion, therefore. NO registration II re-
quired for voting at the coming election and
any eiector can vote. Tho qualifications Of
voters will be the same ~ II there were no reg.
istratOn law on the statute oooka
do not loso sight Of the fact that the act oil
the legislature under which the city proposes
TO validate and fun0 the Indebtedness con-
tracted prior to annexation OF new territory re-
iers to registration. I,ut think, dsst that the
law is not sufficient 70 require registration. there
being no general law OF the state to supplement
IL and all limitations upon the right to vote being
strictly construed, and, second, since IL 10 clear
that voters may vote on all tho other proposi-
tons without being registered. II IL impossible
TO require registration on this proposition. An
election cannot be held by the Same judges at
the same time and places and with the same
ballot boxes and form of ballot unless tho same
qualifications are required for all voters upon
al! propositions. II only registered voters are
allowed 20 vote on one proposition and all voters
couid vote on others insesminable confusion
would result, which would render any election
impossible

IN MAKING our the ROLLS.


preme Court Deciston.
County Assessor Abrahams, Auditor
Twicheli and Treasurer Phelps are not
pleased with the decision of the supreme
cour: in reversing Judge Langley's de.
cision in the mandamus case to compel
Mr.. Ahrahams in making up the tax rolls
for 1898 to segregate the city property from
the county property. and again to segre-
gate the property within tho old city
limits from that included within the new
boundaries.
They say that the enforcement Of this
order will cause great deal more work in
each one OF their offices. and necessltate
the employ ment Of more clerical assist
ance. Mr.. Twichell says that to carry out
this idea Of segregation to q legitimate
conclusion would necessitase the making
out of $50 tax rolls, as each road district
and school district in the county has spe-
cial taxes ieyied. and is as much entitled
to a separate roll as the two city districts.
Mr.. Phelps says that it will necessitate
the making of six different indexes. ono
each for real property and personal prop
ersy In each Of the city districts and the
county outside of the city. Another CON-
piication arises in the fact that to ADOPT
the plan now commanded would violate
the law directing how the roll for county
purposes shall be made out:
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Nc
Bride, who has charge of the county's side
OF the case was out Of town yesterday, but
il is thought that when he returns an ef-
for; will lie made to ge. a rehearing Of the
question:, and il it csnno. be obtained on
the case iast reversed II is proposed that
the board OF county commissioners get
on. writ Of mandamus compelling Mr..
A5rahams. who IL county officer. TO
make out the roll in the manner hitherto
pursued 10y county assessors.
