 PENDENcE COUNTY.
LAW CANNOT BE STRETCHED
Measures Enacted By City Councils to Collect Revenue Must Be Done By General or Special Act of
 Legislature.
Little Rock.

blLJle 1OCh.=-- The Arkansas Supreme Court hand. ed down an opinion invalidating the occupation tax ordinance passed by Hot Springs. Little Rock and other cities of the state to supplant the loss caused by the closing of saloons on January 1, when the statewide prohi- bition law went into effect The stat. ute under which the ordinances were framed was held by the Supreme Court to be special act, applicable only te Independence County.
 "We will treat as settled" the courts decision said, however, that the Legislature has the authority un- der the constitution to delegate to cit. ies the power to tax occupations" Tn other words, the court held that, should the Legislature pass a general act or a special act applying to Lit tie Rock, and of the same nature as the act applying to Independence County, the act would not be in con tsavenulon of any provision of the con stitution.
 The courts opinion held that munich palities have no inherent powers and can only exercise such powers as are delegated by the Legislature. Am biguity of the wording of the special act applying to Independence County led to tl.e contention that it could be applied to other counties.
