72 P. 545 | Kan. | 1903
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Clarence Bodley appeals from a conviction for the violation of a city ordinance regulating hackmen and the drivers of other vehicles at the railway depots in Ottawa. Under the ordinance, the city marshal designated the positions to be occupied by each hack and vehicle while the drivers were waiting for passengers, but Bodley, a licensed hack-man, ignored the order and went to another place, near an arriving train, where he secured a passenger in pursuance of a former appointment made with the passenger.
Ottawa is a city of the second class, and full authority is given to cities of that class to regulate depots and depot grounds. (Gen. Stat. 1901, § 1005.) A
The judgment is affirmed.
