Justice Chapman used former | Supreme Court decisions to sup- | port his ponit that the Haines City charter provision which gives it a right to tax should not be repealed except by a specific repealing clause in the new law. The fact that the 1937 legisla- ture “failed and omitted” to in- sert “a general repealing clause is conclusive that it was not the in- tention” to repeal the city’s char- ter provision, he contended “This court can take judicial notice of common knowledge pre- valent in Florida previous to and at the time of the passage” of the law in question by the 1937 leg- islature, he declared “The municipalities of the state anized and were before the legislature. They repre- sented that their bonds were in default, the taxpayers were on »strike, payrolls past due, current bills unpaid, suits being filed, and heavy costs of municipal govern ment to be met “The municipalities of Florida requested the 1937 legislature to see that right, fairness and justice should prevail.
