The supreme court handed down It's
opinion this morning on the request from
Governor Kimball as to what disposition
should be made OF a personal property
voter upon his ceasing TO be assessed The
opinion is as follows:
We have received from your excellency
request for our opinion upon the fol-
lowing question. viz:
What disposition should be made by
board OF canvassers OF the name or
personal property voter upon his eeasng
10 be assessed who has not registered
within the registration year In which his
last assessment was In force?'
We are OF the opinion that the namc
OF such voter should be Immediately
stricken from the voting list upon the
expirat ton OF the period OF twelve months
from the date or the assessment or the
last general town or city tax against him.
whenever that may occur. since upon the
expiration OF such period he Is not quail
fled TO vote thereafter unless by virtue
OF a prior personal registration within
the preceding registration year In like
manner. as is required OF registry voters.
We said In Re The Canvassers' Powers
II r. |. 500. that the name Of a personal
property voter whose tax was due but
unpaid should be transferred TO the regis
try list for election for members OF the
city council OF any city or upon PROPOSE
tions TO impose a tax or for the ex-
penditure OF money, but this presupposes
that the voter is still assessed.
In Re The Voting List. 10 II. I. GA, we
stated that a person qualified to vote
only under the provisions OF Article 2,
Section ], of the. constitution, q. ed by
the ownership OF real estate who alienates
all his real estate is no longer so quail
fed and his name should be removed i'm
mediately from the voting list, unless
he had Heretofore duly qualified as a
registry or personal property voter. I'm
which case his name should be trans
ferred 10 the list OF such voters. Obvious
ly annual personal registration by all
classes OF directors will prevent disfran-
chisement at any time and In Re The
Polling List IL II. i. y. 732, we said that
IL the name of voter "be omitted
through the negligence OF the voter, there
Is no good reason why he should not suf-
