TOBIN RAISES ISSUE.

Mr.. Chambers opinion was given at
the request Of Justice Of the Peace
Ben Fisk, and came on the heels of
the controversy over jurisdiction in
speeding cases.
Mayor Tobin raised the issue when
it became apparent that deputy con-
stables and other special officers were
making traffic arrests in San Antonio
in conflict with city officers.
Citizens protested having to go to
rural courts for trial on city traffic
arrests. The opinion of the district
attorney upholds their protests.

is violating the law if he carries a

duty of such officers to notify masis-
