ENSLEY PEOPLE ARE APPREHENSNE Fear Greater EnsIey Act is in
 Danger
QUESTION IS DISCUSSED
Reversal of Consolidated Court Bill Causes Some Anxiety-Wylam Will Have Electric Liehts-Per-
 sonal and General News.

Ensley July z2.-(Special )-The decision of the supreme court reversing the con solidated court bill has caused considera- be apprehension among the people of Ensley relative to the Greater Ensley act that is now pending in the supreme court. A number of well informed attorneys of Ensley have been interviewed and the general opinion among them is that the bill annexing West Ensey was constita- tional
 The case testing the consututionality of the Greater l1nsley act was fought out in the Birmingham city court and the act held to be constitutional An appeal was taken to the supreme court but it will in all probability oe November before the case is taken up Several hundred people and a considerable territory are affected by the measure.
 Capt Ronaine Boyd, city attorney, wheH approached in the matter gave out the following statement:
 .'The whole of the question pertaining to the constitutionality of the consolidated bill hinged on proof of notice as required by the constitution in the passage of local acts by the legislature. The manner in which the proof of the consolidated court bill and the proof of notice of the Greater Ensley act were presented were quite differently. A well informed attorney who was connected with the test of the court act said to me that if the proof given given when the court act was pass ed had been the same as the proof of ad- vertisement of the Greater Ensley act, there would have been little doubt as to the consttutionality of the court bill"
 Captain Boyd also stated further that he did not believe that the decision of the supreme court reversing the court would materially affect the local acts passed by the legislature as the merits of eacn of the bins would have to be gone Into separately.
