MAYOR WILLPAY
COSTS Of DOG
LAW LITIGATION
Judge Rules That Citizen Had
Right to Appeal to Court When
Act Wasn't Enforced.

SAVANNAH, July 12.-In his opin-
| ion in the Richter mandamus pro-
ceedings, brought against Mayor Rich
ard j. Dayant by Major George H.
Richter, to require the enforcement
of the old dog ordinance, which has
since been repealed and a new one
substituted. Judge Walter G. Charl-
ton, in the Chatham Superior Court,
has decided that the respondent, May
or Davant, must pay the costs of the
proceeding.
The repeal of the ordinance an
swers the question" said Judge Charl-
ton in his opinion. IF there was no
valid ordinance, no repeal was nee
essary; if there was a valid ordinance
ii should have been enforced; and il
ii should have been enforced, and the
avowed purpose was not to enforce it,
the plaintiff was within his rights as
a citizen in invoking the aid Of the

Mayor Loses Contention.
SO Major Richter wins his conten-
ton that the old ordinance should
have been enforced Mayor Davant
declined positively to enforce it. and
had 1t repealed and the ordinance
now in force substituted in its place.
Judge Charlton in his opinion says:
This case started out upon its in
teresting career charged with ques-
tons of grave Importance. 1t has re-
solved itself into a bare question of a
few dollars costs. When the rule nisi
issued the ordinance existed the al
legged nom performance of which is
the cause of litigation BY the time
the rule was returnable the ordinance
was repealed. l am concerned only
with the case as made by the record.
'lnasmuch as the repeal Of the or
dinance disposeS of the main case,
which litigant should pay the costs Z?
The repeal of the ordinance nswers
the question If there was no valid
ordinance, no repeal was necessary;
and if there was valid ordinance. it
should have been enforced; and if 1t
should have been enforced, and the
avowed purpose was not to enforce
it, the plaintiff was within his rights
as a citizen in invoking the aid of
the court.
Mayor Must Pay Costs.
IF he was properly in court, and
the voluntary action participated in
by the Mayor did away with the
cause Of action, the costs should not
fall upon the plaintiff A judgment
will be entered discharging the rule,

The original dog ordinance. which
required that all animals should be
muzzled or held in leash, was never
enforced. II was adopted by the pre-
viOus administration and a dog
catcher was provided, but he was
never allowed to perform his duties.
! The present administration also re-
fused to enforce the ordinance.

was. Adams lowered the ladder to
