The chairman of the committee on
judiciary reported having received the
following opinion from the city attOr-
ney as to the validity of ordinances
Nos. 1876 and 209.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common COun
Gil Of the city of Kenosha, Wis.
Gentemen-In accordance with your
request : have examined ordinance No.
1876, as amended by ordinance No. 2O9,
and am Of the opinion that the provi
sions thereof may, under the laws of
the State of Wisconsin, be enforced, in
the manner therein provided.
The right to enforce the payment of
such license is denied in some states,
as, for instance, Ohio, Washington and
Kansas, but the weigh of authority in
my opinion supports the right.
The license in all such cases must be
imposed for the purpose Of regulating
the business or keeping Of the animals
or property in question and as matter
of police regulation and not for the
purpose of raising revenue, and can
only be imposed by municipal cor
poration when so authorized by .its
charter
Dated this 9th day of June, A. D.
1898.
