The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1906-02-21

An adjourned meeting of the COM
mittee from the council boards, the
mayor and the city solicitor to in
vestigate the separation of the city
and county for taxation purposes was
held at the city hall at o'clock this
afternoon and Solicitor James Camp
bell, Jr., gave his opinion on the
question.
Ii Is, in substance, as follaws:
That the act of 1852 separating
the city and county for taxation pur-
poses was repealed by provision OF
the present constitution, as well as
by an act of the legislature of Octo-
Der 18th, 1902. creating the county
fiscal court, and prescribing its duties
and powers.
That a statute formerly providing
that a portion of the county taxes be
collected by city authority and an
other portion by a county authority
did not constitute a separation:
That the constitution does not au-
thorize the legislature to separate
the city and county, and that such
an act would be unwarranted and
unconstitutional:
That Section 1852 of the statutes
says, in part: Both the city and
county shall pay its portion of city
and county expense common to both
based on the value of taxable prop
erty in each"
He cites two cases which the court
of appeals has decided bearing d.
rectly on this question, one in Ken
ton and in jefferson, and the court
held that city and county could not
be separated.
notwithstanding City Solicitor
Campbell's opinion, Mayor Yeiser
says he thinks that city property can
not legally be taxed for keeping up
the county's poor and for road con-
struetion and maintenance. II have
studied this question for some
time" he said, "and have the opinion

and responsibilities placed upon
them by rights of self-government
and are determined to govern them
selves.
