This seemed TO be the consensus OF

RESERVES DECISION.

T. Howard Duckett, representing
the petitioners contendcd that neither
Dutton nor Harrison were eligible at
the time of their election, as neither
were the owners, in their own name,
OF real property in fee simple to the
value of $500. On the other hand,
counsel for defendants contended
that the courts invariably have held
that municipal legislative bodies ex-
ercising judicial election functions
were the sole judges OF thch quslifica-
tions OF tcir own members, and that
when the mayor and common coun-
ell of 1919 issued certificates OF
election to Dutton and Harrison. this
action qualified the councilmen. MANY
decisions were cited by counsel on
either side to support their cases, and
Judge Beal, after the arguments.
directed the attorneys to submit a
memorandum OF the cases upon which
they relied. IT is probable that sev-
eral weeks will clapsc before the
status of Dutton and Harrison is
known.
