SNYDER EXPECTED
 TO RULE ON J|TNEy MEASURE TUESDAY
Final Decision Deferred When Petition For Injunction Is Heard Wynn Hints
 at Change

Final decision of the validity of the jitney ordinance passed at a re- cent session of the city commission CTS, providing for a starter on each line to be paid by drivers, was de- ferred by Judge Roger W. Snyder, who Saturday heard arguments on a petition filed by operators on the South Highlands route seeking to enjoin the enforcement of the mea- sure. Judge Snyder is expected to render his opinion Tuesday. The ordinance was declared unconstitu- tional by Judge Henry J. Martin in recorders court Friday, when vio- lator was. tried before him.
 A temporary injunction restrain ing the city from enforcing the ordi- nance against operators of jitneys on the South Highlands line was granted by Judge Snyder January 27. Arguments on the petition seeking to make the injunction final were made by Horace Afford. representing the jitney drivers, and W. J. Wynn, city attorney, representing the city com mission.
 Afford charged that the ordinance was created for political reasons in order to provide jobs for any one who might aid Commissioner of Pub lie Safety Cloe in future campaigns. The principal attack of-%the jitney drivers, however. was directed at the clause of the ordinance providing for a fee of 25 cents a day to be paid by each driver to starter and in- spector on the line.
 MT. Wynn contended that the ordi- nance was valid in It's present form but that the objection to paying 25 cents day could be removed by an amendment to the ordinance provid- ing for the city to pay the starters. He announced that should the mea- sure be held unconstitutional by Judge Snyder 1t would be carried to the supreme court.
 MT. Afford declared payment of a fee to the starters by the jitney drivers constituted an additional li- cense when the operators of.th cars had already obtained license from the city to operate automobiles for hire. The payment of 25 cents a day would mean an annual payment of ss1 a year by each jltney opera for. he said. The city license fee is $50 a year for the operation of 5jtney.
 Martins Decision
 Judge Henry Martin, recorder. held the ordinance unconstitutional Fri- day'when E. L. Manuel, jitney driver, was arrested charged with violation of the new ordinance. Judge Mar tins action was based on the de- cision of the Alabama supreme court in declaring void an ordinance passed by the city during the days of state wide prohibition providing that each person who received liquor from an- other state under the provisions of the act should pay an inspector 50
