Uni<?n, S. C., Jan. lfit, 1006. To th? HonoraMo Mayor and A1 rlormon of tlio town of Union: Wo Org to submit to you tlui fol lowing ri port tor the ycnr 1905: The office of City Attorney was created by you on the first of January*, 1905, at which time we assumed the duties thereof. During the past year the demands on this office have been largely for written and verbal opinions on various subj- cts. Wo have also hren called upon to prepare various ordinances, the most important of which were to prohibit, the transportation, storing and sabot intoxicating liquors, which hecame effective shortly after the State Dispensary was removed from Union County. The enforcement of these ordinances, as well as all others, depends in a. measure upon the reporting of violations of the same to tin- proper authorities with the necessary evidence to procure; conviction. The most serious difliculty in the way of the enforce- j ment of prohibition in municipalities is the Inter-State Commerce clause of the Federal Constitution, and an ideal enforcement cannot he had except by Federal Legislation. However, we have seven ordinances an the subj et, which, if enforced l?y the public sentiment of the community, will greatly lessen this evil, j We have been asked for an opinion; is to whether the State could incur-' porate a society whose object is to provide Jts members with intoxicating liquors. Such an institution >r its members can have no privilege to violate the laws of the land, mo us memnors ran ne prosecuted 'or violations of tlic ordinances of the town and the laws of the State, md its place of business closed as a nuisance, as in the case of an individual. In such a case a warrant \an he sworn out hi fere the Mayor, ind another In-fore the Magistrate it Union or information can ho Ifiven to the Grand Jury of the County. All complaints presented to this office have been acted upon promptly. During the past year there liavo heon 701 arrests for violations of the ordinances of the town, and the rases were disposed of as follows: Guilty, 585; not guliity, not. pros., and dismissed hy the Mayor for want of jurisdiction, insufficient, evidence to convict, etc.. 172; cases undisposed of because of absence of witnesses, etc., 5; cases appealed to the Court of General S scions, 11, of which one has been heard and the judgment of the Town sustain '<1. The remaining 10 appeals are now on the docket of the Court of General sessions ami are ready to he disposed of at the next term of that Court. The number of jury tr'als during the year were 25, the verdicts lving as follows: guilty, 18; not guilty, f>; undisposed of because of mistrial, 1. Fines collected, 88,053.50. Bonds forfeited and uncollected, 3. The offenses for which convictions were had are as follows: drunk, 183; drunk and disorderly, 112; drunk, disorderly and fighting. 15; drunk, disorderly and resisting arrest, 17; drunk and carrying weapons, 8; disorderly, 85: disorderly and resisting arrest. 10; disorderly and carrying wcap-, r?ns, 3; lighting, 4; fighting and carrying weapons, 6; gambling, 40; prostitution, 0; vagrancy, 6; disorderly and fighting, (56; contempt, of court, 3; violating license ordinances, 8; violating liquor ordinances, 12; total, 581. We recommend that every case on the Police Docket be entered separately 'and that the Police Department make a report to this office every Monday morning, showing the number of cases entered on the docket during the preceding week, the disposition of the same, the bonds and recognizances outstanding and the fines paid, which in turn shall he certified by this office to Jho City Treasurer upon demand. We Iwg to call your attention to the fact that on July 23rd, 1005, the Police Headquarters were rohhed of $125.80, and the perpetrators of the crime have never been apprehended. Wo recommend that a thorough investigation of this matter ho held by the Council along lines which will he suggested by this office. The Town has not boon involved in any litigation during the past year, and there is none now pending. We have spent mucji time in codifying the Constitutional and Statutory laws pertaining to the Town and also the Town ordinances,; nl1 of which we recommend be printed in convenient form for ready use. especially as we have been enabled by investigations made during thn work to reconcile many points ot apparent conflict. Wo are now ready to render our report to tin Special Committee appointed to re A CAIICO PALL NEXT TUESDAY NIGH Unique Entertainment For a Cood Caus Good Work of Women's Clubs of This City.
