At tine City Hall yesterday it was | said that the city Attorney would not fife an answer to the petition of the Montgomery. Tr&etS9n Company upon which au in1utfctlUn was secured. until the last of the thirty days allowed by law for the answer to be filed in the court
 ''rhe Traction Company" said a city official secured an oFder from Judge Sayre temporarily restraining the city from enforcing the new ordinance re- Quiring separate cars for the races. Judge Sayre made the order cf show ing by the Traction Company that II would be a physical impossibility IO rO with the nrdfnanCR. l City Attorney Mcintyre was direct ed to. answer the showing made by thS Traction Company but he mas thirty days from the date of Cte Judges or- der In which to answer and l under stand he will take all of that time awaiting an adjustment of the contrV- versy by the Aldermen and officials of the car company"
 To COdify County Laws. For some time have been advocat- ing the qualification of all laws ger taining to M'ontgomery county" said a that the Board Of Rev0nue is now con sidering its advisability. It Is a good idea and l see EO reason why, at very little cost. it shouldn't be done.
 There is no denying the fact that 1t | is necessary to have these laws codi- fled. As 1t is now. the county officers have no means of ascertainipg the var | iOus laws on certain matters coming l amining the records of the Legislature from It's beginning. You might look over twenty-five acts of the legislature without finding one applying to Mont gomery county. so you can see that fellow is at sea in the maze of legisla- l tive literature when he attempts to I look up certain acts applicable to Mont gomery county. Now, if all acts bear put into comprehensive form, there would be no trouble. We would have our book before us and could look up | the law in ten minutes. T hope to see the Soard of Revenue do something at it's meeting Monday. toward having the laws codified"
