SUPREME COURT REvERSES
AND REMANDS CASE TO
LOWER COURT
is VERY NOTED CASE
Grew Out of Injunction Re-
straining City Of Columbus
From Purchasing Fire
Truck in 1919.

The celebrated fire truck injunct-
ion suit is again in the limelight.
n Monday morning the supreme court
handed down decision reversing the
lower court in its decision dissolving
the injunction which restrained the
city from purchasing the big La
France fire truck in 1919.
The injunction was sued out by Mr..
Arthur Lussey, now deceased, Hon. S.
B. Johnston and others, and for sew
eral weeks the big truck was held up
in the city fire station under the pro-
visions of the temporary injunction
which was granted by Judge Carroll.
hl July the case came up before
Jude Woodward in a special hearing
and the injunction was ordered dis
solved Later it was heard on its
M. is and the courts. Temporary or
der Cissolving the injunction was sus-
tanned
Damages to the amount of approxi-
.mately $11O0 were taxed against the
enjoiners and they appealed the case
to the supreme court.
Action against the purchase of the
truck was based on alleged irregular
ity in the councils procedure in eff
fecting the purchase and it was at
tackled also on the grounds that the
city had no authority to incur an in
terest bearing obligation. Subsequ-
emily, however, the La France people
yielded the interest clause in the con-
tract and the interest amounting 20
approximately $1,000.
The truck has been m constant use
since the court. order dissolving the
injunction and it has given eminent
and with it the city is
equipped with the finest possible fire
fighting apparatus.
The enjoiners are represented by
Messrs. Johnston and Galloway while
the city's interest are being looked af-
ter by City Attorney, Gen E. 7.
Sykes.
The decision of the court has not
been received, and whether it carries
with it is not known.

An announcement OF far-reach-
ing importance both 10 Colum-
bus and the Mississippi State Col
lege for Women was made al the
commencement exercises on Sat
urday morning by DR., J. w. Lips
comb, president Of the Chamber
Of Commerce.
He announced that the new dor
mitOry, according to the officials
Of the Bond Improvement Com
mission and the college, would be
ready for occupancy early in
November.
DIR. LipscOmb stated that the
Chamber Of Commerce and the
people of Columbus would sponsor
a movement to make provision for
accom- modatiOns for every girl who
applies for admission 20 the col
lege this fall, and to do this the
homes of Columbus will be thrown
open to the students and they
will be taken care of from the
time the college opens until the
new dOrmitOry is ready for Oc-
cupancy.
Last September IL Is known
that over 400 young women were
turned away from the institution
on account Of the lack Of dOrmi-
tory facilities and unless some
provision is made to take care Of
them until the new dOrmitOry Is
completed, II is safe TO assume
that fully this number will be de-
MED admission this year.
After the doors of the iRstitu-
ton have been shut TO them II is
hardly probable that they would
enter later on In the session, and
lose some of the best part OF the
sessions work, and. too, Il would
be demOralizing for q large rum
ber of students to enter classes

First-That no court could enjoin

Fourth That the writs of certiorari
and supercedeas were the only RENE

joining the governor, secretary of

The supreme court sustained all Of
these positions. The court held that

SO much important business came be-
fore the association that the address
which was ohave been delivered by
Dr. Watts was postponed until the
May meeting.
Among other actions of public in
terest taken at this meeting was the
adoption of two commendatory resolu

dermen in closing the gambling
booths at the street carnivals, and
the other expressed appreciation of
the action taken by the baseball asso-
citation in refusing to allow baseball
game to be played at Pillow Park last
Sunday.
In regard to the relation of the city
association to the county association
it was decided that there should be no
official connection between the two
bodies, but that the members of the
city association should join the coun
ty as individuals.
