Davies, Town Attorney when the
measure approving compensation
was passed, says the money was
intended to repay officials for
time and money spent on town
business outside the regular
Mayor and Council meetings.
Alger Y. Barbee, States Attor
ney, feels there was no criminal
intent in authorizing compensa
ton for town officials, reports Mr..
Custer. The States Attorney was
not available to comment on the
Juror.
Mr.. Custer said Monday he will
advise the Council what steps tc
take after he has made a study
of the facts.
Mr.. Talbot told the Council he
doesn't believe a jury would re
turn a criminal conviction in the
case but said he believes civil
suit would force town officials TO
return the money they have re.
ceived. Mr.. Barbee agrees, Mr..
Talbot said.
Harry c. Perry was mayor
when the compensation was ap-
proved. On the Council were
George Marshall, Charles Fox, G.

6. And it is no ground fol
abridging the right that the
parks cannot be operated profit
ably on a nonsegregated basis
Since the park here could not
be operated profitably on such
basis and leasing was being con-
templated for that reason. it was
proper to insert IN the decree a
provision which would protect
the rights of plaintiffs in the
event of lease"
The appeals court said fur

contention of the Common

The SeaShore Park case was

use of the park.
Early IN 1855 the Department
