MAY BAN THE
FIGHT FILMS
City Solicitor Informs Police
Commission That They May
Suppress the Pictures
NO ORDINANCE, BUT
CAN ACT NEVERTHELESS

City Solicitor Brady sent TO the
Board of Police Commissioners this
morning an opinion in which he holds
that while there is no city ordinance
preventing the exhibition here Of the
Johnson-Jeffr fight pictures. the
commission has the power to prohibit
the exhibition.
Mr. Brady's opinion follows:
Wilmington, Del, July 30, 1910
Board of Police Commissioners, Will
mington, Delaware:
Gentlemen: Relative to your re-
quest for an opinion concerning the
right of the Police Commissiopers to
prohibit the exhibition of moving
pictures of the Jeffries-JohnsOn fight
/ beg to reply as follows.
The Moving Picture Ordinance
passed by Council recently confines
itself entirely to the safety of the
audience viewing such pictures and
in no way deals with the nature or
character of the picture exhibited.
have been unable TO find any resolu-
tion of the Police Commissions
bearing upon the subject Howevcr
Section 8 of an Act entitled AN Act
10 Provide for Municipal Police
Commission for the City OF Whining
ton, passed at Dover 1898 provides
as follows: The Ordinances rules and
regulations of the said city now I'm
force relating to the Police Depart
ment shall remain i'm force until the
same are changed in whole or in part
by the said Board of Police Commits
sioners.'
THE question arises whether the
90 D. Ilsf,
der the above section, can pass any
law which, i'm its opinion, is neces-
sary for the preservation of good
order and morals of the City of Viii
mington. The Supreme Court of the
State of Delaware, in Boullock Admr.
VS. Wilmington City Railway Penn,
209 said that the acts creating the
Street and Sewer Department Board
of Water Commissioners and a Muni-
cipal Police Commission effected the
partition of Municipal authority in the
City of Wilmington.
The purpose and object of the
Street and Sewer Act was manifestly
to take the whole subject matter and
the construction and also the regula-
ton of the use of the streets, etc.
from the Council just rs the nnrpose
OF the Water Commission Act was tc
take ii away as to water and of the
Police Board Act as to the Police.
THE above cases decide that the
power and authority to regulate GER
tain safety appliances called fen
ders' on trolley cars is vested in the
Board Of Directors of the Street and
Sewer Department of the city of Will
mington and in the Council
by the same reasoning IL is there
fore possible for the Board Of Po-
lice Commissioners to enact ordinan-
ces and regulations, when given the
power to do so in conformity with the
purpose for which said Department
was created. The preservation of good
order and morals being unquestion-
ably the duty of the Board of Police
Commissioners they have the power
and authority to enact ordinances and
resolutions upon these subjects.
"ln my opinion the Board Of Po
lice Commissioners should it consider
the exhibition of moving pictures o
the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight detri
mental to good order and morals ha'
tho power to prohibit the said eXhi
bition."
Yours truly.

City Cannot Share Water
Supply With Town of EISmere

According to the opinion of City
Solicitor Brady, which was sent to the
Board of Water Commissioners this
morning. the Commissioners cannot
supply city water to Elsmere for even
fire protection. Elsmere asked the
Commission to extend the Whining
ton mains TO the town and the re-
quest was handed TO Mr.. Brady for

to grant the request. Mr.. Brady
finds that there is no law under
which Wilmington can share its water
supply with any other city or town
