THREE-WHEELED AUTOMOBILE

While The Citizen makes no pretenSe
of trying to anticipate the supreme court,
or to assume the attitude of trying To eX-
pound the law. yet, as good law is good
sense. il is plain to see that if parts of an in
tended law are destroyed, either intention
ally or unintentionally. the remaining parts.
regardless of whether they were engrossed
or signed by the governor. become inOpera-
tive
The court may decide otherwise and if
it does, Key West will be Forced TO operate
under only parts of ,harter. The 1899
charter, as it came out of Tallahassee, was
not the instrument that the City of Key West
proffered to be enacted into law.
If you agree to buy an automobile, the
law will uphold you, even though you are
bound by contract. in your refusal to accept
IT, if it has only three wheels when the deal
er attempts to make delivery to you. In that
condition. the car is not an entity. ard in
the condition that the 1889 charter came
out of the engrOSSing room. it was not an en-
tity If the city is compelled to operate un-
der it. then the city will carry on IN three
wheeled automobile.
Now. the legal phase of the matter
would be entirely different had the missing
provisions been stricken from the 1889
charter either in the house or in the senate.
Had that been the case. the charter, in It's
curtailed form, would have been valid But
the provisions disappeared after they had
been adopted by the legislature, and they
were ADOPTED. not separately, but as in
tegral parts of the charter as a whole. When
they were destroyed. the entity was de-
strOyed.
That is the common law reasoning. ana
common law is common sense. Enacted
law, with its multifariOuS checks and cOun-
ter-checks. is so complex that when d ques-
ton arises in many instances. a lawyer, how
ever good he may be. has to consult his text
books. and even in them, decisions some
times are found that are not in accord with
each other and the reason for that Is that
one judges logic is based on certain pre-
misc and another judges is derived from
ar altogether different premise. And courts,
even the United States supreme court. not
infrequently reverse themselves.
Legislative intent is the governing
factor in any law. and the legislative intent
was grossly violated in the proposed 1899
charter
Finally had the charter been passed,
with all the lost provisions in it. and duly
signed by the governor. it still would have
been invalid until it was approved at the
polls of referendum. for which provision
was made when the charter passed the
house and senate. And the referendum was
one of the clauses that were lost"
What would our President say. or
what would our Governor say, about al act,
passed by the congress or the legislature.
that came to him in an emaciated form?
The 1899 charter is not the measure
that passed the house and the Senate-it Is
only part of the measure. Whatever legal
hairs one may split. he is driven to the con
clusion that the charter is three-wheeleG
