Supreme Court Confirms County City Split Law Limits Maysville
The Supreme Court ruled the 1908 law allowing municipalities in split counties to decide whether to join a county or city is constitutional but only for towns with 800 or more people. Maysville with 453 residents in 1900 cannot use the law to trigger a split election. The court also upheld that a citizen may hold both municipal and state offices, except for disqualifying provisions, in a case involving St Marys mayor and county offices.
