That was the ruling last week of
Attorney General Thomas ]. Herbert,
in an opinion to Col. Lynn Black,
superintendent of the state highway
patrol.
Mayors have final jurisdiction with
in their county in traffic misdemean-
ors where the motorist is not entitled
to trial by jury. In cases where the
maximum penalty is a fine of less
than $50, the mayor may refuse to
bind the case over to the grand jury
and exercise final jurisdiction, the at
torney general ruled.

REQUIRE
COURT ORDER
Auditor Turns Down
Petition Asking
Recall Action

County Auditor S. Clifford Da-
Wis fatty turned down Wednesday
the petition Of six Clover Creek
residents to start recall action
against two of their drainage dis
trict commissioners, F. C. Cooley
and p. E. Kroniund.
II the suburban Tacoma group
wants 10 hold its proposed recall
election, 1t will have TO bring legal
action against Davis first, he said.
Without a court order he will re-
fuse to certify a ballot title as they
requested in their petition, filed in
his office July ~.
The dispute and threatened re-
call in Clover Creek drainage dis
trict was a sequel to a court hear
ing In June when residents along
the creek won an injunction
against the commissioners, forcing
them to stop a wPA channel clear
ing and Strengthening project.
Held Insufficient
Charging mslfeasance in office
for approval of certain payments
to the power shovel contractor in
volved in the project, the half
dozen property owners asked the
recall. Auditor Davis declared the
charges, on their face, insufficient
to warrant the election.
Il have carefully read the
charges" he wrote the petitioners
Wednesday, "and there being a
question in my mind as to the legal
sufficiency Of the same, I feel that
before the taxpayers and petition
ers r put to any expense. 1t is
my duty to refuse to certify to the
proposed ballot title until the court
has passed upon sufficiency of the
charges"
Would BE Expense
Should he certify it, Davis said.
the petitioners might print and
circulate petitions at large expense
and the county 60 to the expense
of checking and certifying each
signature and then still be enjoined
by court action.
