after landioard attachment pro-
cssdings against Emeal Davis, me-
gro proprietor, were begun.

doors and windows as the final act
in the legal battle which has ragged

weeks.
The city authorities closed the
place during Davis regime, be-
cause Of its character. Emeal sub

of the premises, has taken legal

May Be For Some

1t has been suggested that
should the city vote to go under
the code chapter that it would
make it easier to practice law in
city cases. In other words,
that we would know where we
are at, because the city would
be governed like most others and
that the law would be written
in the books. This is true in so
far as the foundation of the
government is concerned, and
no further. In both cases, that
is under the present charter and
under the code chapter, the real
government would have to be
by ordinances.
We are not II the practice of
law r0r do We claim to know
the law further than we have
been ~ against it. !" And so
far IS we u.e able to see, the
only advan'aHa tn be gained by
those practiclng law in the city
is that under the code chapter
a lawyer having a client indicted
under an ordinance could look
up the ordinance, look up the
minutes when it was adopted,
and clear his man if everything
was not done just as provided by
law in such cases made and
provided. We have seen this
very thing done. Well do we
remember case where a town
had gone to the expense of pass
ing ordinances and having them
published and when a certain
case came up for hearing in the
circuit court it developed that a
certain technically had not been
coupled with, and the whole
town government so far as
ordinances was concerned was
knocked out. The reason we
remember this so well was that
the town paid US a hundred and
ninety odd dollars to get the
ordinances back into effect, and
we did the work at what we
figured to be cost at that.
Now, we give it as our opinion
that if the voters decide to make
the change that the whole lot of
ordinances now in effect will
nave to be re-enacted. or others
to take their place. In which
event every word contained in
The city law would cost the tax
payers A cents. This is a mere
mite, but multiply it by thous-
ands and you can begin to see
where expenses will mount up.
