POLICE ACT
 IS INVALID
 ~ Judge Sayre Decides Knot
 ty Question. IT WILL BE APPEALED Montgomery Police COmmiS- sion is Unconstitutional. Law Extending city's Territory is Also in the Balance and Court
 Will Soon Render
 An Opinion.

Montgomery's Police Commission act has been declared to be unconstitutional
 Judge A. D. Sayre of the civil division of the City Court of Montgomery yester- day decided in the case of the State ex rel. G. A. Thomas against the City Coun. cil of Montgomery that the Police Com mission act, enacted by the Legislature of Alabama, was unconstitutional.
 The question was raised on petition for mandamus by c. A. Thomas to com pei the City Council to elect Police Com mission as provided by the police commis- sion act.
 City Attorney Ray Rushton in answer ing on demurrer to the petition of the complainant held that the bill was un- constitutional on the ground that it violated the constitution of Alabama in that it amended the charter of the city of Montgomery. This point had formerly been decided by the Supreme Court in the Bessemer police commission act.
 Judge Sayre ruled on the point practi- cally without argument by counsel.
 He sustained the demurrer of City At- torney Rushton and quashed the petition of the complainant.
 Counsel for the petitioner, immediately announced an appeal to the Supreme
 Greater Montgomery Act.
 The suit of the City Council of Mont gomery against J. Lee Walker. a general merchandise and liquor dealer in the ter ritory annexed by the Greater Montgom- cry act involving the constitutionality of that act, was taken under consideration by Judge A. D. Sayre of the civil divis- ion of the City Court of Montgomery.
 The defendant refused to pay the city license on the ground that the act which brought the store under the jurisdiction of the city of Montgomery was unconstitu- tional in that the journal of the House of Representatives shows that the bill was reported from the House Committee on Local Legislation without recommendation in violation of the Constitutional provision that every bill shall be acted upon by a standing committee in session assembled.
 The contention of the defense is that a report without a recommendation is no action by the committee, and hence is in violation of the constitutional provisions.
 The matter is now under consideration of Judge Sayre.
