Description

This original action seeks a special writ of mandamus to require respondent, Judge of the Jefferson Circuit Court, Chancer Branch, First Division, to set aside his order abating two remonstrance actions pending before him styled F. S. Goodrich, et al. v. City of St. Matthews, and J. Clay Murphey, Jr. v. City of St. Matthews. The two actions which were abated are suits filed under the provisions of Chapter 81 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, protesting the annexation of certain territory proposed to be annexed by the City of St. Matthews, a city of the sixth class. The City of St. Matthews passed six annexation ordinances on or about September 29, 1953, seeking to annex large tracts of adjacent territory. One of the ordinances sought to annex territory in which property primarily of a business nature is located. The City of Louisville had previously sought to annex this area, and a protest suit styled Craft v. City of Louisville involving the annexing ordinance of that city is pending in the Common Pleas Branch of the Jefferson Circuit Court. The area involved in the Craft suit. which is sought to be annexed by both the City of Louisville and the City of St. Matthews, comprises the major part of the business district located in the St. Matthews area.
