TOR IMMEDIATELY
Court Of Appeals Sustains Judge New
ellis Decision In County OIL In.
spector Case-T. J. Rce's -
Term Expired Nov. IA.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals
Tuesday acted on the Mason County
Oil Inspector case which has attract
ed much interest here and which has
been closely watched while 1t has been
at Frankfort.
II will be remembered that in No
vember 1917, Just before surrendering
his office as County Judge, Judge w.
II. Rice appointed his brother. Mr.. t.
]. Rice as Inspector of Oils for Ma
son county for full four year term.
Soon after he took the Office of Coun-
ty Judgfe, Judge Purnell appointed
Mr.. Stanton G. Cliff as Oil Inspector.
II was thought that Judge Rice had no
right to appoint an officer to extend
over into another administration and
the appointment of Mr.. Gift was made
to get the courts opinion on the mat
ter.
Immediately upon the appointment
of Mr., Cliff, Mr.. Rice filed suit In the
Mason Circuit Court asking an in
junction enjoining Mr.. Cliff from quail
flying. Judge Newell, when the case
came before him, granted the injunc-
ton but in going over the case the
records of past Oil Inspectors was
brought into the case for reveiew and
Judge Newell held that the year term
to which Mr.. T. j. Rice was appoint
ed expired on November IA. 1913
which gave him only two years to
hold. Mr.. Rice's attorneys contended
that he was entitled to serve full
four years term and the case was car
ried to the Court of Appeals.
That Court yesterday sustained
Judge Newell's decision in its entir-
ity ruling that Mr.. Rice's term ex-
pired on November 14th this yeaI
which means that his term expired or
last, Friday week. however. he will
hold the, office until his successor Is
. duly qualified.
The mandate of the Court of Ap-
peals is expected here this week ant
will be filed in court on next Monday
when the Mason Circuit Court meets
for the December term. immediately
upon the filing of this mandate. M
Cliff will qualify as Oil Inspector ant
the Office will pass to him.
This decision ends q discussion tina
