CITY OF SOMERSET v. CITY OF FERGUSON


589 S.W.2d 884 (1979)

The CITY OF SOMERSET, Kentucky, et al., Movants, v. The CITY OF FERGUSON, Kentucky, et al., Respondents.

Supreme Court of Kentucky.

Rehearing Denied December 4, 1979.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John T. Mandt, Mandt, McEnroe & Polk, Somerset, for movants.

James M. Frazer, Frazer & Gibson, Monticello, for respondents.


PER CURIAM.

The opinion of this court is that there has been no material change in the statutes pertinent to this case since Pence v. City of Frankfort, 101 Ky. 534, 41 S.W. 1011, 1015 (1897), established that a city of the third class has the power "to annex the territory of another municipality."

We are not persuaded that this authority does violence to Section 156 of the Kentucky Constitution or to the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment.
