To the 1-;ayor and
NBoard of Covmisaloners
City of Paducah, Kentucky
Gentle'aen:
There was referred to me at the last regular meeting of the Board of
Commissioners a communication from a certain organization respecting regulation of
Ihours for opening and closing certain businesses, and regulating the hours of
ybusiness, ana I was requesteu to advise the Boabd in writing whether an orainance
iso regulating hours of employment of businesses by the City could lawfully be auopted
;land enforced.
by answer to this proposition is, that the City is entirely w:lthott
right or authority to so regulate hours of employment and business. there is no
provision in the Charter that will permit the enactment of such legislation by the
City, and the City cannot enact laws on subjects where it is not authorized to
legislate.
Respectfully
W. V. Eaton, Corporation Counsel'$

as follows:
The following actions are nowpend:;: in the McCrac'ten Circuit Court:
City of Paducah, Plaintiff, vs: Claussner Hosiery Coxpany, Defendant:
City of Paducah, Plaintiff vs. Dixie Greyhound Lines.
He says that the Wood Preserving Corporation, Chicago, I111nols, has
not assessed any personal property for city taxation, except one Plymouth auto::obile,
during the past several years and was contending that it wa_ not liable for any
her taxes, claiming that all its machinery was used in manufacturing. This
affiant wrote the corporation and a representative of the corporation called upon
other
affiant and explained the Wood Preserving Corporation's contention in the matter.
This affiant im?.ediately pointed out the difference in machinery used in marufacturino
and machinery used in repairing equipment and having shown the representative the law
:concerning the taxation of saiu machinery, after considering the question at some
UIength, the representative agreed that same should be assessed a,tr' wort :.ith this
7af±'iart to the assessor's office for the purpose of assessing same, and this affiant
lb:_Heves that taxes due for said machinery will be paid into tl,t city to a,ury very
ishortly.
Further, this affiant is investLgating the Liability of the Wood
%rc: ervi:;g Corporation for city taxation on it:, wr4ter craft and, after a careful
if tris afiiaut boleives that :r;At:r craft of the corporation .L • ilcble
