City Council Holds .......
Meeting July Fourth

The city council met Tuesday night
with Mayor L. F. Wellman presiding
councilmen Claude Wilson, Lafe Cook
sey, Charter Wellman and r. c. Bur
ton present .. ...
The minutes showed that the 1922 tax
book had been turned over to Marshal
Cyrus. The total taxes thereon are
s9563.26, and he reported about s21OO
collected. ". ~,
An ordinance was enacted conform
ing TO the new State law prohibiting
persons from appearing on the streets
in bathing costumes.
The section of the city recently cut
off was taken back into the city lin
its. This is a boundary from Lick
creek to Jones branch and to a line
near the waterworks reservoir.
Upon application of two or three
citizens an order was made to drill
and equip public water we'll in the
vicinity of the Masonic Hall.
The state law regulating automo-
biles, trucks, etc, very lengthy doc
ument, was enacted into a city ordi-

Claude Wilson asked that an order
2e made requiring him to build a
sidewalk adjacent to his home in
'Italy.ef There is dispute about the
property line, as the survey made by
L. E. Wallace shows that Mr.. Wilson
is on the street six or seven feet. Will
son says the starting point for the sur
vey is not correct and that he is not
on the street. Mr.. CARED, city at
torney, objected to making an order
to build sidewalk on this disputed
ground because of the danger in los
ing the city's rights some time in the
future by this action, and also that he
regards it as bad precedent. No ac-
ton was taken. ..'. ,

REGISTRATION LAW
KILLED BY COURT

The Court of Appeals has decided
that the new law requiring registra-
tion OF all Kentucky voters July 10th
and llth is unconstitutional. 1t fails to
provide for sufficient special registra-
tion and for certain features covering
the years following this, in the opin-
ion OF the court. -. ..-...
The decision shows the way to a
proper registration law and the next
Legislature, no doubt, will cure the
defects and enact the law. Something
OF this kind is necessary to make fair
elections possible in Louisville, Gov.
ington, and the larger coal mining
centers where thousands of IL .egal
votes are cast by the process of re-
peating and by voting men who are
not legally qualified. A law that VIII
prevent such frauds is favored by ey-
erybody who wants fair elections. ...
