District Judge Ben W Boyd refused
to issue a temporary injunction re-
straining city officials from en-
forcing the code against W M.
Murphy, East Hickory Street cafe
and dance hall proprietor.
Murphy's counsel had sought the
writ, asserting the city ordinance
to contravene Federal and Texas
constitutions, and pleading further
that the Legislature has express-
ly legalized dance halls.
The city code that prohibits oper-
ating such an establishment within
500 feet of any other occupied build-
ing is in effect not regulation but
prohibition since it bars any reason-
able location in a city of this pop-
ulation and congestion, counsel al-
leged.
City Attorney Ed I. Key had ar-
gued that the cases cited were
not analogous and that the city
was only exercising property pow-
ers given it under the home rule

to show the dance hall at 339 East
