Of City Attorney
Decision on requested mandam
us writ against City Recorder
Poulsen and County Clerk Boyer
rests with Judge L. H. McMahan
until next Monday, the court an
nounced late Friday afternoon
after hearing counsel for both
sides of the proposed mandamus
actions present their respective
arguments.
Immediate appeal from the cir
cuit court's opinionjiere is antici
pated Inasmuch as Walter E.
Keyes, attorney for the repeal pro
ponents, says he will appeal if the
writs of mandamus are not grant
ed and City Attorney Trindle says
he will appeal if the writs are
granted.
Says Cities Given
Right to Determine
Keyee, representing T. M. Hicks,
who seeks the mandamus against
Poulsen and August Hucksstein,
who seeks the mandamus against
Boyer, contended in court yester
day that the state law and con
stitution permits municipalities of
more than 2000 population to con
duct initiative . and referendum
votes under the provisions of their
own ordinances. He cited a por
tion of the state constitution In
defense of his position.
Keyes held that City Recorder
Poulsen should now have printed
special city ballots containing the
water bond repeal proposal. Poul
sen in addition, Keyes contended,
should give legal notice to all
voters, 10 or more days before
the November g election, and
should leave the ballots with the
judges and clerks of election, to
gether with special ballot boxes.
The administration of the voting
and the counting of the special
ballots Would be left to the var
ious boards, Keyes contended.
Claim No Method
To Certify Measure
City Attorney Trindle declared
to the court that inasmuch as the
city ordinance provided no way
for the city recorder to certify the
proposed repeal measure to the
eounty clerk within the time the
state law held mandatory, there
was no legal jvay in which the
measure could come before the
voters at the November election.
He also contended the state law
expressly provided that the county

Case Heard Here
Salary for Stenographer,
Assistant to District
Attorney is Legal
The full legal right of the Mar
lon county court to pay a stenog
rapher for the district attorney's
office out of county funds and
to pay for an assistant district
attorney from the county prohi
bition fund was upheld here yes
terday by Judge Arlio Q. Walker.
The case at Issue was that of
John Carson against the Marion
county court and Judge Walker's
decision came on a demurrer filed
by the court to Carson's com
plaint. Walker overruled the de
murrer offered by the defendant
without asking for briefs or com
pelling litigants to extend him
for the decision.
Judge Walker was sent here
yesterday by Chief Justice Bean
to hear the case Inasmuch as
Judge L. H. McMahan and Judge
L. G. Lewelllng both disqualified
themselves.
Stenographers Pay
Is Discretionary
Walker held that the payment

the same ruling in regard to pay

The decision marked the legal
