CITY TO ENFORCE
Law PROVIDING
FOR SEGREGATION
Commissioners Vote 10 Make
Ordinance Effective,

4 resolution, providing for the en-
iorcement OF the negro segregation
ordinance here was unanimously
adopted this morning by the city com
miSsionerS, The ordinance was drawn
up last year and passed but on actoun,
of uniayorable decisions by the United
States supreme court relative TO sim
liar ordinances in other cities, the
measure was not enforced
The ordinance now in effect was
drawn up with a view OF eliminating
features which resulted in adverse de
clsions from the supreme court. hc-
cordlng to the ordinance no negro can
purchase property in a block where
as many as 7S percent of the residents
are white people Conversely no white
person can purchase property in a
block where more than Is percent are
negroes A penalty OF a SO line is
attached for violation OF the measure,
Both the person selling the property
and buying il are deemed guilty
The commissioners expressed the
opinion that real estate men have
taken advantage of the non enforce
lnent OF the ordinance and persuaded
negroes to purchase property in white
settlements This was done, II was
stated, for the purpose of depreciatlng
the value OF property in the respective
districts to the extent that owners
placed Il on the market for sale.
