The North Carolina .Supreme Court last week handed down an opinion reversing the judgment of Judge John H.. 'Kerr, in this . case and holding .the ordinance valid. and enforceable.

Certain citizens employed, Messrs. Mclntyre Lawrence Proctor to resist the- en forcement of the ordinance and this law firm obtained an - injunction against the town. .The case was heard before'! Judge Kerri at the July term JtaDfl vara a haar1 of Superior Court and he, continued the injunction and held that the ordi nance was void. " Town Attorney T. L. Johnson,. contended that,, a .town ordinance cannot be tested by an. in-, Junction and also, contended that this ordinance was .. authorized under the town charter and under the provisions' of an act of the 'General Assembly of 1921. -- The Supreme, Court decided with Mm' 'and dismissed the action, i t A conv of the ordinance was pub lished in the Robesonian in full at the ft8nea Z t :"!Jw!?rr.7:r the main, that all. resident of the town who propose to operate, auto mobiles within the corporate limits shall make application to the town clerk and treasurer for license, and produce evidence of good moral char acter and of sufficient experience in the operation of cars to enable them to drive over the streets with safety. The applicant Vis, Also , required to show that he or she is above 16 years of age. The license, when,:, granted, allows the holder to .' drive any ' car, or as many cars al" he likes. ( during the fiscal year for. which it is grafted. The Supreme Court after holding that an injunction is not-the proper method of testing a town ordinance, and that the court had no right to question the purpose of the town board in passing the same, further held that the ordinance is not in conflict with any statute and Is authorized under the general provisions of the charter of Lumberton, and is reasonable. , In concluding the opinion the court referred; td , the amendment; to the automobile law passed by the General Assembly of 1921 and said: " . "The effect of this amendment wag to authorize the city to regulate and control the conduct of chauffeurs of automobiles and the 'drivers of all other vehicles and ' tff r impose V . reasonabU license ' ? fee -which - ,weicrder that he might he first to rrn deem wag ; not exceeded , by the re quirements of the payment of a ' lir cense tax of $5.
