sustains ordinance No. 22O, finding the de.
fendant guilty as charged, sentence to be
pronounced later, unless a new trial should
be granted.
The ground of the defense was that the
ordinance is invalid, the fact Of the sale
not being denied. Judge Hester quoted
authority to show that municipalities Of the
sixth class have no powers except those
granted by statutes and charter, and that
the statute and charter provisions are
mandatory; hence. it was imperative upon
the city council to provide for their present
meeting place by ordinance instead of by
resolution, and failing to do so, their legal
acts therein are null and void.
| The city at Orney argued that the law
| upon the subject was either mandatory or
| directory, but cou not be both. 1t was
not reasonable to believe the law manda-
tory because of the very serious results of
| declaring all business done in the present
must be direotory. The defense admitted
the law to be directory because 1t was ad-
| mitted there were times 1t could not be en-
| forced. The text of the law pertaining to
the question in point reads, ''all oIdinauces
| shall be passed at q regular meeting. at
such time and place as may be provided by
ordinance" The court instructed the
| Jury that ordinance 22O was valid, and
| therefore if they found from the evidence
tina. the liquor had been sold as alleged in
violation OF this ordinance they must find
| the defendant guilty. At p. M, when
court was reconvened, the jury returned a
verdict of guilty.
