Rncrease in the City Del. is limited ly the Constitution. lTflB CITI JLTTOKiiET'S FULL OPIXIOX The Committee on Free Bridges met yes terday afternoon, but the session was short, the only-work done being the reading of the opinion of the 'City Attorney on several questions referred to him by the committee " two "weeks ago. After the reading of the -jpaper the committee concluded that it jtVoaid take them a week to digest it, and ffth'ey adjonrned w meet at 3 o'clock next 'teriday afternoon, when the situation, as de- fined by the opinion, will be discussed. 9 ' :VJ3ie following is a verbatim copy of City 3&a9itorney iloreland's opinion: .?x v FrrrsMJEO, December 26, 1SS9. J Ift-STothe Committee on Free Bridges: J vs Gentlemex In your communication of the j?20th insL, yon ask my opinion on the following ." lonestions; i.:.Fifst, the right and power or the city of .,Pittsbnrg to condemn and purchase the present abridges; second, the right of the city to erect bridges; third, the right of the city, in con junction with other parties, to build bridges, tne city to pay its proportion ui unwmuui Is there any such power conferred on the ?"'" County Commissioners to assist in the purchase "" " of the present bridges or to act with the city In ibuilding a new bridge. In Teply thereto I respectfully say: First 1F "-.the right of thecitvof Pittsburg to condemn " ",".and purchase bridges rests solely upon the act "-" or Assembly entitled, An act authorizing the ,- city of Pittsburg to purchase and build bridges, --' and for that object to borrow money and issue " ".bonds," approved May 19. 1873. Pamphlet laws J.J(1874), page 312. ,., . .., , Briefly stated this act provides, in section 1, "rC ithat Councils shall have authority in January TU and February of each year, to levy ana assess a wt, 7iot exceeding 10 mills on the dollar, on all property in the dry taxable for city, county K-.tj -nfimniu!i tn be named a city bridge Stax. to be collected at the same time and in the ..? , .... c nMiAf iMtv fcrres and shall be A' appropriated to the purposes herein set forth and no other. w.i- -s In section 2. B. F.Jones. George R. White, IJL John McDevitt, James Park. Jr., audJcseph W Dilworth are appointed a board of appraisers .& to appraise the capital stock of any bridge com- ,-3KPiny within the corporate limits in me manner "JBf i,i ,,iir nrnvided:and. also, declares "but should said city fail to pay the amount of money.by said report required to be paid, within four months tnereafter. then the whole pro ceedings shall be dismissed at the coat ot the city oi i-uisDurg." TILLING VACANCIES. Section 3 provides the manner in which va cancies In said board shall be filled, namely, "by the remaining members ot the board." Section 7 authorizes the city to demand and receive tolls for crossing any bridges purchased or constructed. KAftinn s rennirng Councils to set a nart of & $t the moneys realized by the collection of tolls as 7vr ... r -l . . .Ii-i4.)inif tf thn &. Indebtedness created by virtue of this act and ff'' to no other purpose. -f- .Sections provides "when the loan created . for the purchase or erection of the bridge or fih'f- jpaid oft, the said bridge or bridges shall be Ij icoine free, and no toll shall be charged for passing over tne same, jrroviueu. m. me u Councils decided to collect tolls lor the pay- .roent thereof." Section 10 authorizes Councils to borrow a sum .not exceeding $1,000,000, to purchase or .construct bridges, at such times and in such -'amounts as Councils may direct. Section 11 authorizes the issue of coupon or registered bonds for the payment of snch sums borrowed, bearing interest at not more than 7 per cent, payable at such times as Councils mav direct. Section 13 provides that the Councils of said city of Pittsbu shall annually, at the time appropriations are made, apnropriate out of the taxes levied and collected by virtue hereof, a sum sufficient to pay the interest accrued or to accrue during the year upon outstanding bonds, and out of the said taxes and tolls levied and collected by virtue hereof, a further sum nl not less man - per cent oi an uunus which may have been issued iu pursuance of this act, to be set apart as a sinking fund for thm extinguishment of said indebtedness. .From tne synopsis tnus given i aeciare mat the power to condemn, purchase or build bridges within the corporate limits, and to im pose taxes for this purpose, is perfectly clear under the act. That the city is authorized to borrow money to an amount not exceeding "1,000,1X0 and issue interest-bearing bonds therefor. That the underlying purpose of the act is that the tolls fixed and collected from these bridges should be the primary source from or tnrougn wnicn tue douucu mueuuru nets so incurred should be paid. But if all the conditions of purchase or erection of such bridges shall be fully executed by the city, the bridges owned, ipso facto, become free, unless the Councils should by ordinance,nrescribe the tolls to be charged and collected; and, if this shall be done, so soon as the tolls thns collected shall equal the indebtedness incurred, the 'bridges would become free. If the Councils 'shall not decide to impose tolls, then such in debtedness must be paid by the city. The whole power of thjs act involves con demnation, purchase or erection by the city, no '.authority is given under the act conferring the right to enter into any other, or .qualified or limited contract with the owners of such bridges, power is not given to make a con tract witb these bridge companies for leasing. hire, use, enjoyment or immunity of any kind. -The act must be stiictly lollowed, and that which is not expressly, or by necessary implica ' tion conferred, is conclusively withheld. FOUB OF "THE BOABD BEAD. - The act, id its second section, fixes and names five persons as a board of Appraisers, and pVo vides how and by whom vacancies shall be filled. Four of these persons, namely, .George K. White, John McDevitt, -James Park, Jr., and Joseph Dilworth ;afedead. Mr. B. F. Jones alone survives. Should he resign or refuse to proceed in filling such vacancies, no fnrther action whatever could be had in condemning or purchasing such bridges. The whole act, so far as it re lates to the exercise of this particular power by the city, bangs upon the action of a Board of Appraisers of five persons. It is a special juris diction, with special and clearly defined duties. -. "Neither can be delegated. Neither the court, , : the city, nor the bridge company can supply or exercise this power. Assuming full action . taken bv the parties interested, its confirmation ",. - by the court then, should the city fail to pay h. amount of monev bv saidreoort reanlred r to be paid, within four months thereafter, the .- .whole proceeaings saaiioe uismusea, at tne r-" cost of the city. i. Hitherto 1 have only considered the force of the act of Assembly bearing on your first ques " -' ', tion. The most difficult problem is raising the X" . ",' money. How can it be raised! Ordinarily the f , citv cannot impose In any one year taxation ' sufficient to meet the full amount authorized ; -no be expended, because the act limits the levy -'" for each year to a sum not exceeding 10 mills . .' on the dollar. It would, therefore, devolve upon : ,.-V, -the city, assuming it has the power, to issue its 4 Z -bonds tor the appraised value of the bridges, .,." after the amount shall have been fully detcr- - '" mined, and raise the money on such bonds witb ' .fjin four months after the confirmation of the Crappraisers' report, otherwise all the proceed-"--l&ings could be vacated. '.Jtd Has the city the power to. increase its Id s' V.V nlebtedness to the amount authorized by said -".i act and issue bonds therefor? . Section 8, article TXL, of the Constitution of rTfc""-:-this state declares that the debt of uiunicipali Jst ities "shall never exceed 7 per centum upon the Ip-i jSassessed value of the taxable property there , ..$ ln.!' The officers of this city furnish me a state '. J )ment showing: Taxable valuation of property, ' Jtl94,815,025; 7 per centum thereon would be. - ftl3,639,151; city indebtedness, $18,203,251; X Jamount for wbich indebtedness might be m ' v creased, $433,900. This last sum would be the "-' .full amount for which any authority can be k. wlfound justifying any action by the city. But C i.can even this amount be utilized by Councils? 5-" 'x' ' Jl questiojt foe the people. J J Section 21 of the act of Assembly entitled "An act in relation tn the government of cities ofjthe second class," pamphlet laws of 1SS7, '"- page 898. declares "any increase ot the interest--'beanng bonded indebtedness of cities of the awTcond class is hereby prohibited, unless the JSfia'niajority or the qualified electors votine IthereatiBt'an election provided lor byanordi laanceToPCouncils." JltlS IDereiore jjencwuj cieix mat neiore tue .Irv nn issue these interest-bearim; bond". . t-rii authority must be coiiferreil by the Qual ified electors at an election urovided for that 'Tne right or the city to erect bridges Isex- "' nresslr'conferred by section of the act ar re. 'Bald, ahe exercise is to be governed by what r- ihaS preVlOUbiy .JJUWicu .u wis wjmmuma. fc'nion; -' .' .. ..... ... , , Lnmmn the city to enter into a conartner- iSship or joint undertaking with any persou, firm . n.Mntlnn to .build bridces. The whole '; jpowerof the city to build bridges is conferred i'-jr in said section 4. .When bridges are an iudts pensable part of public Improvements, or in opening or grading streets, the city may con struct the same, charging the cost thereof upon properties benefited: but In building such bridges as those contemplated in your letter, thev are a public improvement, and must be paid for by the public at large. I know of no authority vested by law In the County Commissioners to bind the county of Allegheny to aid the city of Pittsburg in either purchasing or building bridges. Such power must be clearly and unequivocally conferred by the Legislature upon toe County Commis sioners before they could take any such action. I do not find it In the books.
