Huns of the city council to im
pose a radio tax la Roseburg to fi
nance the cost of locating mul
abolishing interference were aban
doned last night upon ths adverse
opinion of City Attorney R. L.
Kdily, who found that the council
lucked the necessary authority un
der tho city charter to make tho
propo ed levy. I Ir. Lddy cited a
federal court decision holding a

whose status would !' diffi;ult to
segregate from one of tntra-Htute
use, tii us placing it beyond tli'
taxable right of any Mate or muni
cipality, in his opinion. Mr. Kddy
concluded, the tax ordinance con
t( mplaled by the city was not
practicable.
Mr. Kddy's opinion was supple
mented by the statement of Coun
cil man Knoddy that, while broad
casting stations especially were at
all times desirious of abolishment
of interference, a radio was not
i-abject lo taxation uu.css imposeii
by the federal government.
"Well. 1 guess that fettles that."

To Ban Firecrackers
