Some weeks ago certain citizens ox* (iaffney asked permission of city 'council to erect a church within the Corporate limits of the town. When it developed that the promoters were members of the Mor.mon or I.atter Day Saints fai^h, the council refused to if rant the privilege. After consult ing a number of attorneys, the people who are interested, say they will pro ceed with their plans regardless uf the action of the council, because they have been advised* that the constitu tion of the United States guarantees civil and religious liberty toward all of its citizens. It is said that work on the structure will commence within the nex? few days and that the houso of worship will be built regardless of tho^ action of cjty council.
