IC|TY'S GARBAGE
Law IS KNOCKED
| SkY.HIGH BY COURT
Judge Whitaker Rules That Failure Of
City Clerk to Record Yea and Nay
Vote on License Law Inyall.
dates It-Clty Has No Gar.
bage Collector.

Maysville has no official garbage
collector according to the ruling Of
Police Judge John l.. Whitaker Satur-
day afternoon in sustaining the de-
murrer filed by Attorney A. d. Cole
representing Sherman Presley, who
was arrested on charge of gathering
garbage in the city without proper
license.
When the case against Presley was
called Mr.. Cole filed demurrer to the
warrant charging that the city's ordi-
nance licensing the garbage collector
was invalid. This demurrer was like
throwing monkey wrench into the
cog wheels of the city's machinery
for 1t has been some time since any
city ordinance had been attacked as
being invalid.
In presenting his argument in favor
of his demurrer Mr.. Cole showed on
the City Councils Journal that City
Clerk Robert Adar had not recorded
the yea and nay vote on the ordinance
providing for the issuance of license
for collecting garbage in the city and
that the State Statute provided that in
all ordinances taxing the people for
street improvement, regular taxation
or in providing for licenses the yea
and nay vote must be recorded in the
Journal. The City Councils record
simply stated that the ordinance had
been passed unanimously
City Attorney Daily brought City
Clerk Adair and small note book in
which he records the vote of council
men on all subjects and contended that
! this small note book in which the votes
were recorded was a part of the offic-
ial record.
| Judge Whitaker ruled that nothing
was the official record except the Jour
nal which was approved by council
and signed by the Mayor and attested
by the City Clerk and inasmuch as the
yea and nay vote on the ordinance was
not recorded in that book, 1t was in
valid. He therefore sustained the de-
murrer and dismissed the warrant
against Presley letting him go free.
City Attorney DAILY asked for an ex-
ception but whether the case will be
appealed to Circuit Court or not is not
known. 1t is not likely that 1t will be.
Judge Whitaker explained that the
only way in which the ordinance could
now be made valid was for council to
pass an order setting out the fact that
the recording of the vote had been
omitted by the clerk and CORRECTING;
the error. With the passing of such
an order by council, the garbage col
lector's license law will become valid.
The ruling of Judge Whitaker leaves
the city without an official garbage
collector. Unless council passes the
order suggested by the city court coun-
Gil will have to refund Lee Johnson his
license money as with the present rul-
ing council cannot grant such a H.
cense.
The City Garbage question has been
a great big one and one that has
caused the present city council about
as much trouble as any other one
thing. 1t now looks that the city is
little farther in the solving of the pro-
blem than it was months ago.
