Distribution in Ten Days or
Two Weeks Is Fore
cast.

Although still considering possible
acton in federal court, Secretary Of
State Frank Mayr Jr. proceeded
with publication of the 1881 Act to-
day, backed by an opinion from At
torney- General James NJ. Ogden.
The opinion, setting out that the
Acts should be published without
House Bill 6, was written by Hugh
Merrifeld, deputy encouragement,
who is appearing for the state IN
the House Bill suit.
It is based on the opinion writ
ten by Chief Justice Clarence r.
Martin in refusing writ Of prohl-
bition asked On Mayr's behalf.
Writ Is Refused
Had the writ been granted the
Had the writ been granted the
Marion circuit court injunction on
publication of House Bill 6 would
have been dissolved. But the writ
was refused by three to two de-
cision, and Martins opinion pointed
out that Mayr should proceed with
publication Of the other 1881 legls-
lative acts.
Ogden's opinion in the matter
reads, in part, as follows:
81 can not advise you, and I'M
derstand that you do not desire to
violate the provisions of the tempo
rary Injunction against you with
respect to house enrolled act No. 6.
Will Be Tried Again
"'I am Of the opinion that under
the circumstances you, as secretary
of state, are justified in performing
your duties in SO far as you can,
without violating the terms Of the
Injunction issued by the Marion
circuit court, and that you should
proceed to publish all other acts,
Joint resolutions and memorials Of
the 1881 general assembly, emitting
house enrolled act, No. g."
Meanwhile action to make perma-
nent the injunction against House
Bill s will be tried in Marion circuit
court soon.
The acts are expected to be dis
tributed in ten days to two weeks,
it was said.
