Iiceptlons Taken to the Present Method of Assessing Benefits and Dam- ages to Be SETTLED BI THE STJTKEME JDSTICES. City Atteraey Kortlisi Ixjtrfs a Fail Dtcslon Within Two Wuks. The new city charter is still unshaken, but the street laws of 1887 and 1889 are un constitutional. That is the substance of the opinion delivered by Judge Slagle yester day. The opinion embodying these statements accompanied a decision in the suits brought by T. A. Gillespie, T. B. Atterbury and George T. Whitney to restrain the city from collecting assessments lor street improve ments. These suits were brought to de termine the status of street acts, and in cidentally the validity of the city charter was questioned. City Attorney Jloreland, in speaking ot Judge Slagle's decision, said last night: "I never had any doubt of the constitu'Sn ality of the charter. There may be one or two unimportant sections to which excep tions might be taken, but as a whole there is no doubt of its soundness. That was proven by the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Allegheny City case. Alle gheny's existence as a second-class city de pends upon the Pittsburg charter, which gives it the breath of life. "We will carry the case to the Supreme Court immediately. In fact, I leave to night for Philadelphia anil will go into court to-morrow to ask for a speedy hearing and decision, setting forth the vital im portance of having the questions raised set tled finally and as soon as possible. I think we will be allowed to argue the case before a fall bench this week, and we mar expect a decision about the end of next week." Judge Slagle's Exhaustive Opinion. Judge Slagle's opinion, which covers every point raised in an exhaustive manner, is as follows: In each of the cases bills were filed by a citi zen and property owner of the city of Pitts burg, alleging that the city of Pittsburg and its officers were opening and improving certain streets of said city, and proposed to collect tbe costs thereof by assessing tbe same upon tbe property of adjacent owners, including that of plaintiffs, and feline liens against tbeir property abutting upon tbo street! respectively, and asking that lhcybe restrained from so doing. The grounds upon which tbe power of tbe Court is invoked are substantially the same In each case, and they may, therefore, be consid ered together. It is claimed, first, that the Councils of the city of Pittsburg are organized in a manner not authorized bylaw, and are therefore without power to adopt tbe ordinances directing such Improvements to be made, and that the officer m bo signed tbe contract and superintended the work, being appointed by this Illegal body and bis po' rs conferred by an unconstitutional act of Assembly, is without authority or law. Ana. second, that tbe acts of Assembly nnder which tbe improvements aro being made are unconstitufaI and void, and therefore tbe proposed assessments and liens are without au thority of law. Affecting the Life of the City. It will be observed that tbe claims ot the plaintiffs involve most serious consequences affecting the very life or the city Government, and if w ell founded striking down every act of tbe City Councils since its organization in April, lbS9. .Nevertheless if the position is w ell taken the courts have no right to shrink from so declaring because of the disastrous results. lint if there were no other call to careful consideration these apparent conse quences wonid naturally cause them to pause before acting in so monstrous a matter. lhe courts are always slow to declare an act of the General Assembly void. The power to do so it as long questioned, and during the first SO years of our State government It was not exercised, but now the power and tliedutvof the court to nass upon the validity of an act of AsscmbI) is firmls establisbed,and ltis singular that it ever -bould have been doubted, as the life of the State ilej.ends upon such rights In tbe court: a constitution would be ot little worth without the existence of such power in tbe courts. But our courts have always recog mzedlhe solemnity of declaring an act of As sembly void. In Commonwealth vs. Butler, Judge Sharswood says: To justify a court in pronouncing an act of the Legislature uncon stitutional and void, either in whole or in part, Ifnust be able to vouch some exceptions or r bioition, either clearly expressed or ini p id. To doubt is to be resolved lu favor of the constitutionality of the act." The riqht and dut) of this court is tbe same as that of the Supreme Court in tnis respect, but the importance of the duty has alwajs restrained tii exercise of Ibis power, except in cases vtterethe violation of tbe Constitution is so plain as to leave no room for mistake. Our duty is to enforce lhe law, unless the act is in clear violation of the Constitution or some im plied exception clearly appearing or an nounced by tbe Supreme Court. Making a Constitutional Test. Weinust therefore test those laws by tbe Constitution, as we understand it, in the light of tbe decisions of the Supreme C-urt hereto fore made and the principles they have an nounced. The objections stated are manifold. Some of them relate to all the acts and may be considered in reterence to all. One is specially applicable to tbe act of June 14, 1837, that it re vives, amends, and extends or confers the pro visions of tbe oiber laws, or parts thereof, by reference thereto, and without re-enacting and publishing the same at lenctb, and is therefore in v iolation ot section C. article 3 of the Consti tution. This section of the Constitution has been considered in but few cases. Continuing, His Honor referred to the fen cases iu which the Supreme Court had been called on to give effect to this provis ion, and then savs: None of these cases reached the point raised as to the Councils ot the city of Plttsbur" under the act of 1S87. It must be remembered that the city or Pittsburg had corporate exist ence before the passage of tbe act of May 23. 1ST, by which it was created a city of tnc second class. By that act all the corporate powers then existing were continued in full force except when otherwise provided by tbat act- It was, perhaps, not necessary to so provide, as tbe mere change of name would not bave tbe effect of abrogating all laws re lating to the corporation. Existing laws will not be held to be repealed unless expressly so declared. It has been held In many cases that the Constitution does not abrogate existing laws inconsistent with its provisions. By the act of May 23, 1874, it was provided that the legislative power of every city shall be Tested in tbe councils thereof, which shall con sist of two branches, tbe Select and the Com mon Council. The term of office of tbe mem bers of Select Council shall be two years and of Common Council one year, except in cities of the first class. The time and mode of election are not fixed nor tbe powers specified. This was lelt to tbe acts previously existing, which had been preserved by the first section. No Change in Organization. The organization ot Councils of the city of Pittsburg under this act was the same as un der tbe act of 1868, which was in force when the act ot 1871 was adopted. It so continued until the passage of the act of June 14. 1SS7. That act provides that tbe legislative powers of cities of the second class shall be vested as here tofore in two branches, etc.; reduces the num ber of Select Councllmen to one for each ward, to serve for four years Instead of two. It makes no difference In the representation of Common Councils, but provides that they shall servo lor t o years instead- of one. There is no attempt to conTer new power on the Councils. It does not create a new corpor ation or new officers, but changes the number constituting this body already existing, and time tinting which they serve. Tbe first sec tion of tbe act does not appear to be in viola tion of tbe sixth section of artiel 3nf th Constitution. If it is. then the act of M 23 1674, Is obnoxious to the same objection and we trc co cltj jaTeremealJntleComaoaneslthjie came Board ot Yiovera mthoriiea jojaake But it is contended tbat the act Is on its face lo cal, affecting the affairs of cities, creating offi cers for conducting election of officers, etc. Tbe argument for this contention is that it fixe uates when the cumber of Select Councils shall be reduced, dates for their election, time for carrying the provisions of the act into effect and requiring officers therein provided to give bond, which provision could not apply to any but the cities then In existence. The Legislature hav ing power to classify cities, legislation appropriate to those then existing would be justified. It would bo narrow construction of constitutional power to condemn legislation because it might require further legislation to meet future wants. The act of 1874 provided for new cities com ing into the third class, but It is silent as to those cominc into the first and second classes. Mere acquisition of population would not have this effect. It Is necessary that the fact of population should be as certained In some mode provided by law. This rule was applied to other similar cases as In the case of a separate Orphans Court, and tbe ap plication of the provisions as to salaries and lees of county officers. It was finally provided as to cities by tbe act of May 8, 1883. If. then, the legislation was proper for cities of ibe second class it Is general and not special or local. If, however, the act of 1S87 is incon sistent with the provisions of the constitution referred to, it does cot follow that the acts of the Councils organized under its provisions are void. The city ot Pittsburg is a municipal corporation having an undoubted legal ex istence. The Councils constitutes Its govern ment. In them all legislative and much of Its executive power is placed. A bodv of men bave been organized as constituting tbis body, and have exercised its functions under the pro visions of act of Assembly. Councils All Bight in Any Event It Is, therefore, a de facto Councils, and if they had no pretense of Uegal existence, must be regarded as such until their rights have been judicially determined. Their right to exercise the office cannot be questioned by a private individual directly in the mode pre scribed by law. Tbat can only be done at the issuance of the Commonwealth by appropriate writ. But it li said there can be no de facto officer unless there be a de jure office. In this case it will scarcely be contended that tbe office of Council of the city of Pittsburg has ceased to exist because tbe Legislature has under taken to fix tbe cumber and term ot its mem bers in a manner not authorized by tbe Constitution. If the act is -unconstitutional it is void, it Is as if It had never been passed. All tbat can then be said Is that the members should have been elected in the mode prescribed bv acts of Assembly previously existing. Tbe office still exists, and there is a way to fill It provided by law. If we are right in holding tbat tbe Councils of the city ot Pittsburg are properly organized under the act of 1SS7, it would follow that tbetr action in authorizing tbe improvements in qnestion was valid and binding, if m other respects according to law. But it is said that this part of tbe act is inoper ative because other parts ot the act are uncon stitutional. Continuing he discussed the remaining sections of the act and said: We are therefore of opinion that tbe Councils of the city were proper! v organized under the act of June 14, 1SS7, and tbat they might prop erly authorize the Improvement in qnestion unless otherwise restrained. If the contract was signed by the Chief of Public Works when It should bave been signed by another officer. It seems to be immateilal if tbe city bad power to make the contract and directed it to be so signed, or recognized It after it was signed, In absence of legislative direction as to who shall sign. But It is alleged that the acts of June 11, 1887, and the act of May 16, 1SS9. under which the improvements men tioned are being made are wholly un constitutional and void in tbat they are local laws. Some of the objections appear to ques tion tbe right to legislate for cities as a cla-s. and others tbe right to legislate upon the sub jects involved. Judge SlagI : referred to the constitutional provisions and quoted decisions of the Su preme Court to ascertain what may and what may not be done. Many decisions bearing on the question of classification and in what instances and for what purposes it is constitutional, were ctted. STREET ACTS KNOCKED OUT. The Laws of 1887 and 1889 Declared Uncon stitutional TheScope of Special legisla tion Defined Street Improvements May Be Continued at the City's Bisk. After disposing of the charter, Judge Slagle turns his attention to the laws in ref ence to street improvements. In this con nection be says: From these cases It appears that tbe power to lay out and open streets is a municipal function, but tbe assessment of damages for property taken mustbe-by general law, be cause, as saldin the case ot Kuan street, the compensation due tbe property holder for an invasion, of his close under tbe right ot eminent domain Is a subject as exclusively within tbe jurisdiction of these courts as an indictment for a crime. The only connection tbe city has or can have with such a proceeding Is as a party to tbe litigation because liable to pay the damages assessed. In the appeal of Engel and others, the ques tion involved was the validity of tbe assess ments made by the city of Pittsburg for the cost of grading and paving certain streets of the city, the work having been done and the as sessment made under the provision of tbe act of June 14,1887. The Court held that the as sessments were illegal because they were made by a board of viewers therein provided for. The opinion severely criticises the act in many of its details, and concludes as follows: "We, therefore, content ourselves with saying tbat so much of it as relates to the creation, functions, powers and compensation of the board of viewers is In plain violation of article 3, section 7, ot the Constitution and cannot be sustained. These provisions do not relate to any muni cipal function or offices but to the jurisdiction of and practice In the court of law uf Alle gheny county. Tbev fasten upon such of the citizens ot tbo Commonwealtb as are owners of property in a citv of the second class a new, inconvenient. Iniurious and despotic system for .the assessment of damages done by tbe exercise of the right of eminent domain to which the citizens in other parts of the State are not subjected." Despotic Assessment System. Thus far tbe opinion is in accord with the ruling in the case of Ruan street and would render mlgatory all action by this board in as sessing damages for property taken, injured or destroyed In opening or grading streets, which matters, however, were not directly involved in these cases. But tbe cases go further and say: "Thev fasten upon lot holders who are assessed benefits a new. Inconvenient, injurious and des potic STStem for the assessment of benefits to which citizens in other portions of the State are not subjected." Of course this decision having been made in reference to tbe Board of Viewers who made the assessment in the cases now In controversy must be accepted as conclusive and the assessment so made or threatened, and tbe filing of liens upon sucb assessments must be restrained, un less some other mode of assessment Is author ized by law. But we are asked to go further to declare void tbe act of June 14, 1887, and May 16, I8S9, and restrain further prosecution of the improvement. It will therefore be neces sary to further consider tbe effect of tbls de cision. It was clearly not intended to question or modify the rulings previously given by tbe Court in the opinion delivered by tbe same Justice in the case of Ruan street. In It we find as one of the recognized municipal functions and a proper subject of classified legislation is the paving and trading of public streets, and sewers would certainly come within tbe same ruling. This being the case, It would follow that the cost and expense of such im provements could properly be provided for by tbe same means. They bave always been treated as property municipal charges, and tbe proper subject for local assessment upon prop erties benefited either bv foot front or by actual benefit; and tbls boih before and since tbe new Constitution. It was provided for boroughs In tbe general borough act of 1851. These assessment have usually been made by corporate officers as in case of street grading in boroughs, or by viewers ap pointed by Councils as in the case of cities of tbe third class, and many cities acting nnder special charters before tbe adoption of the new Constitution. Violation of the Bill of Bights. We know of no case In which ithas been held that such assessments must be made by view ers appointed by the court. Such assessments differ essentially from those for damages, or by taking or injuring of property. The last depend upon tbe right of eminent domain while the others depend upon tbe taxing power. It is. therefore, not probable that it was intended to bold that municipal corpor ations are required to resort to tbe courts for assessment of benefits to pay tbe cost on municipal Improvements. It is not so expressed. We. therefore, conclude that the clause of Article 3. to which Justice Williams refers, is that relating to judicial proceedings and the clause ot tbe bill of rights, which he regards as violated. Section 11, which provides tbat all conrts shall be open and every man lor an injury done him in lands, goods, person or reputation shall have remedy by due course of law. Tbe first is violated by the special pro ceeding as to tbo collection of liens, and the last by the fact that appeals are re stricted to one court, and the otber provis ions which are regarded as -unusual and despotic. Some of tbe objectionable features ottbe act but the same general system Is retained and iTHE assessments so that if one falls the other will fall with It. Without making any special reference to the various provisions of the act, an examination will show that each and every power is so de pendent upon that for the assessment of bene fits that no consistent results can be worked ont without it We must therefore hold that the entire acts of 1887 and 1889 are uncon stitutional and void. This would remit the city to Its power as pro vided by previously existing legislation. This is found In the act of January 6, 1864, and its supplements. By this act Councils were authorized to open, grade and pave streets. But In the district in which tbe streets In question are located, tbls power was, by tbe act of April 1, 1868. only to be exercised upon petition of a majority in inter est of tbe owners whose property is situated or abuts thereon, which was not presented in either tbe case of Gillespie or Whitney. As this Is jurisdictional tbe power tails; at least so tar as to tbe taking of property In tbe one case and assessments of benefits in the other. The same act gives to Councils power to ".construct sewers whenever they may deem the same necessary and collect the cost and expense thereof by assessment upon property benefited, to be made by assessors appointed by Councils. This power of assessment was transferred to the Board of Viewers, to be ap pointed by the Court or Quarter Sessions, under the acts of May 13, 1871, ana March 20. 1873. This is substantially the same Board of Viewers, appointed' In tbe samo manner and baring the same powers as tho board undertbe actof8S7. If we are rigbt as to tbe reasons for holding it to be illegal they will apply as well to the board appointed under those acts, and it must be held to be illegal. The Center Avenue Assessment As to grading of streets the act of 1864 pro vided that the cost should be assessed by foot front and Center avenuo being located in a rural district, tbis mede of assessment could not be adopted. Tbere wonld appear to be no objection to as sessing tbe cost of sewers under tbe act of 1861, unless tbe ordinance should fall within tbo prohibition of tbe act of March L. 1876. This is a general act which would not repeal any local laws unless so' expressed or implied. It is not so expressed but it by implication Imposes a condition upon all cities in consistence with tbe old laws, at least as to tbe power to impose tho cost upon property owners and therefore pre vents any local assessment of tbo cost of sewers in tbe city of Pittsburg. Tbat the power to grade and pave streets and construct sewers was given to the city of Pitts burg by its original charter, the act "of March IS, 1816,wblch conferred upon It tbe powers of Philadelphia under the act of February IS, 1769, and was expressly given by tbo act ot April G. 1SC7, known as tbe consolidation act. As to tbe constrnotion of sewers it bad been held to be an incidental power of municipal corporations. Though tbe assessments are void, it does not follow that the exercise of the power to grade and pave streets and construct sowers does not exist. At all events it ts not necessary to so decide in tbls case. Tbe only special interest the plain tiffs have is to protect their property from illegal assessments, and they have no equity to reaulre that the whole proceedings should be declared void, especially in vl.wof the fact tbat large expenditures bave been made with tbe knowledge of plaintiffs. And besides, to stop the work now would leave those Urge improve ments unfinished and worse than useless, as they are now actually operated as obstructions to passage of the streets and drainage ot the neighborhood. If the city chooses to proceed to the comple tion of tbe work, running the risk of paying tbe cost, the plaintlffs-have no reason to complain. Tbe conclusion to which this brings us is tbat all proceedings in the case of Gillespie the opening ot Lexington street must be re strained, and tbat in the cases of Whitney and Atterbury tbe assessment ot benefits by the viewers and the collection of the same as against the property ot plaintiffs must be restrained. Decrees will be entered in accordance with tbis opinion, , The decrees were filed In advance of the opinion and read as follows: It Is hereby ordered, adjudged, and decreed that a writ of injunction be issued perpetually restraining the city of Pittsburg tiom causing to be made assessments or collections of alleged benefits against tbe property of the plaintiff. Iu the case of Gillespie, on the opening of Lexington avenue, all further proceedings were restrained. MBS. WntSLOWS Soothing Syrup for Chil dren Teething rests child and comforts mother. NOTICES. F.
