jackson, Miss. July 30.-Auorney
General Hudson has blown q consid-
cradle hole 10 one Of the acts Of the
Legislature Of 1910, holding that Il IS
unconstitutional. Tor tie reason that i
IS in conflict with section n Of the
state constitution. The question upon
which he was asked to pass officially
by Hon. w. W. Magruder. attorney to
the Okdbbeha county Board Of Su-
pervisors. was as TO the constitutional
iiy Of chapter 2l6 Of the lawsol 1910.
house bill No. 479. entitled An act to
amend section 4472 Of the code Of
1908. increasing The duties Of mem
bers Of the Boards Of Supervisors and
providing compensation for the same.
The act in question sought to alter
the statutes relative to the duties Of
the boards Of supervisors in their re-
laiionship to the inspection and super
vision Of the roads in their districts,
and providing that such inspection
shall be made a, least twice in each
year, and adding further:
And it shall be necessary to in
spect work on the public road by
committees as provided for in sec
ton 1853 Of the code Of Mississippi
1906.
Attorney Maaruder asks whether
in The opinion Of the encouragement
the last two lines, as above quoted
are constitutional or unconstitutional
saying in his letter: AS attorney Of
the board am inclined to the latter
view. The title to the act does mol
even mention section 1863 Of the code
and for this reason it seems there is
conflict with section II Of the con.
siiiuiiop."
Answering to-day. Aaorney.Gen
eraI Hudson quotes the statute in con.
troversy as well as section II Of the
constitution. and thus disposes Of tn,
question:

Southern 2 and 81 Southern 2, tha
