ANNUAL REPOLT OF CITY ATTORNEYS.
Says tfic Prohibition Law Cannot b
Enforced Except by Federal
Legislation.
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
