sCity Attorney Coleman Enters Plea t.
BOARDS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY

Il Chancellor Elliott has rendered &
f1ecree in the suit of Chas SenyarG
AGAINST the city of Pine Bluff regarding 3
gthe ordinance taxing bill boards a spe-
scial license of $500 per year. The de.
Gree was rendered in favor cf the
plaintiff, Judge Elliott ruling that the
city had no right to tax the boards,
which are erected on private property
lS City Attorney Colem1n, who de-
4ended the city in the suit, pleaded to
m error in the ordinance seeking to
levy a special tax on the bill boards.
8 This case is one of long dispute be-
tween the managers cf the Elks thea
Ter and the city. In several instances,
the managers have been arrested and
1ned in the police court, and in each
case the fine has been appealed. The
euit was finally brought to set aside
the ordinance and in winning the case,
Nr. Senyard has settled the matter for
III time unless the city appeals to the
supreme court, which is not likely,
nom the pleadings of Mr.. Coleman.
The decision virtually means that any
s1ody can erect a DILL BOARD for adver-
Using purposes on private property.
