"" 'w'"'wiPWWPpPwilPPWFigwpW I'll iw twppw THE STANTON TMfrtaB- SATURDAY,, NOVEMBER 25, 1899.X $ AUTHORITY TO FIX THE WATER RATES OPINION ON WHICH MELVIN ORDINANCE IS BASED. It Was Rendered by Attorney I. H. Burns When a Movement Like the Present One Was Underway Twen ty Ycais Ago, and When Mr. BurnsWas City Solicitor An Ex haustive 'Discussion of the Law, with Deductions That Read Llko Very Sound Reasoning. Follow Ins Is the opinion on which the city councils base their authority to regulate the water chart'es. It was written by I. It. llurns catly in his Hlxtecn-yoar te:m as city solicitor, when a like attempt was made to limit the charges for gas and water and which was defeated In councils. Ucntlcmen of Councils In nnswir to the lnquliy addressed to me some llmo ago as to tho power of lounclls to limit tha charges for water and gas within the city, I, report as lollows: Tho consideration of thli subject may bo divided Into two parts first, has the stato this general power' and second, has It been delegated to tho emporato authorities of the tll I The Scranton Gas and Water company, which furnishes the chief buppU of gas and watrr used In the cltv, Is a coipor atlon chartered bj the vfite, and Its charter Is a contiatt to far as concerns tho powers and pi l lieges expiessly granted and contained then In, and to this eNtcut It Is ptoteeted by tho con stlutlon of tho I'nltpd States from leg islative Interference bi tho stato author ities It. howcer, contains no provision giving tho lonipjm tho exclusive right to fix tho wiiter rites to b charged for water and gas, nml therefore It comes within tho general nilts nud principle nppllcablM to the relations existing be tween lrglslntle authorities and private corporations WHAT CUIliF justice SAID Chief Justice AValte, In his opinion In a railroad caso luollngj a similar qucs tlon, sajs. "It was wllhlu tho power of th company to call upon the Icgls laturo to Ilk permi r.ently this limit ui.d make it a mrt of tlie charter, and, It it was refused, to abstain from building tho road and establiMilrg the contemplat ed business It th i had been done, the charter might hoo presumed u con tract agilnst future ki'lxlattve Intel fer ence Hut It was not, and tho company 'Invested Its capital, rcllt g upon the gorea fulth of tho people and tho wisdom and Impartinlll of legislators for protection agalrst wionc under the form of legis lative legulutlon " Theso remarks seem to apply to the present caso and to Ieao tho -i bject to ba decided on general principles, unin cumbered b special legislation priv ileges or restrictions The principle in volved in tho legislative regulation of pri ato corporations Is not new, though till within a fow yiais pest It Ins been but little practiced In this country. Ncarl two hundred vcais ago the English pu llament phed an act legulatlng tho rates to be chniged b common rarrlors and though this was repealed about llft j ears ago the peiwT to pass such a iaw was neer denied Tho principle upon which tbii doetilne Is founded seems to bo tint, though a man may use his property as he plias.es, so long as onlj pi hate lnlf rests are' af fected, jet, when the use of prlvato prop erty Is clotheil with a public Interest, the public hac ilcht which their rep resentatives may enforce. To illustiate If my neighbor has on his premises a siring of water, the terms upon which I may enter thereon fend use tho water urr cntlrel i matt, r of private agreement between us but IT he obtains a monopoh of nuppllng with water the peoplei e.f the whole cltv. and for that purpose Ins the ilht to taUo private propel ty and use the public streets then the m itter becomes one in which the pub.lc has an Interest and Is subject to public regulation V l'AItALLW. DltAW.V In tho samo wa John Smith and John Jones may agree upon the pilco of a bar rel of Hour, but If John Smith had a char tered monopoly in the mutter of hiipplj Ing bread to all tho pcoplu of tho clt then it would not be unie.itonablo to ta tint tho public shculd hae sonio voleo in liv ing the prlee If 1 nnn a Knn in a liual dlstilct I may eiect thcieim such build ings us I please ml may us" such I'i.i icrlals as may Ln must come iiiit, but it 1 h.evo a lot In certain portions -if tlio city I must build ot ste.no or lulcK, bo eauso In su"h e ise tho public are inter ested, and theepfoio have a right to ig tilate lairely private propeity I.oid II lie ono of tho Lreatest Juilsts England ever pioduced, states It thus. ' A man feir his own prlvato advantage, mav in a poit or town, set up a whart or ciam, and mas' take whit lutes ho and his cilstomcic e in agree lor e mil age wharfage, housellage, pesage , lor lio doth no moie than Is lawful foi am man tu do vl. mako the most if his own 11 the Klnj u subject havo i public wharf unto which all persons that comn to that oort mut i"me and unl tde or lade the Ir goods as for the pur pose, because they mo tho wlntfs onlv licensed bv the eiueeii or be satiso thcic l not othv wluuf In that port as It miv pull out whio n port Is newly erected In tint casa ther cannot bo taken urbltuiv and excessive di'tlcs for cranage whaifage pesage, etc. nelthet can they be enhanced to a med erate rate, but !" duties must bo rea sonable and mode rite, though sctt'ed bv the king s license oi charter Tor now tho wharf and erane and other conveni ences are affected with a public Inteiest iind thci cease to be purls prlvatl, as If ii man set out a street in new building In his own land, It is now no longer bare private Interest, but Is affected bv a pub lic Interest " THE GnNHRAh l'HINCIPI.n. This was quoted and approved by Lonl i:ilcnborough In Ahlnlltt vs. Inglis, 12 East 6.7, in which ho sals' "Theie Is no doubt ,tho general principle Is favored, both In law and Justice, that every man may fix what price he pleases upon his own property or the iihfj of it, hut if for a partlcul ir purposo tho public havo a right to resort to hts.prcmlscs and mako uso of them, and ho have a monopoly In them for that purpose, If ho will take tho benefit of that monopoly ho must, as an equivalent, perform tho uuty nitacneu to It on rcasonablo terms." In this country tho doctrine has bocm carried still further. Nearly forty years ago the legislature of Alabama granted to the city of Mobile the power to rcgu lato tho weight and prlco of bread sold within tho city, and tho Supremo court of that state, In Mobile vs. Oullle, 3 Ala N. 8. 140, declared the law constitutional nnd binding The Supremo court of tho United States has In scvcial decisions at llrmcd the constltulonallty of state laws fixing u limit to rrtignt cnarges uy rail road companies. .... . , ., In n iccent caso In that court, Chief Justice Walte, In nn ablo and exhaustive) opinion, Ins carried this interpretation of tho law to a point that many lawyers will doubtless consider tho extreme limit. The owners of grain elevators In Chicago, prlvato indlvdunli dclng business with their own prlvato property, charged 2'& cents per bushel for elevating and storing grain Tho legislature passed an act fixing tho maximum ralo at 2 cents per bushel. In tho opinion Just alluded to the chler Justlco deliverou me opinion . tho court sustaining tho constitutionality of the law and giving tho reasons at length. If tho legislature of Illinois has power to mako a law like this, then tho legislature of Pinnsv Ivanla can do the same Hut, for the put poses of tne present case It Is not necessary to arguo that tho stnto has power to tho extent decided In tho Illinois case, but onll that tho state has power t& regulato private corporations In mattcis affecting tne public Interest. That this may be doiio seems to be well settled both by the com mem law and tho decisions of our highest courts. A CLAIM U11G13D It ma, however, be claimed that such regulation would bo In conillct with that section of the constitution which prowucs that no person shall bo deprived of inc. liberty or property without duo Process ot law Hrlef reflection will show that a regulation Using a maximum prlco for tho uso of an article docs not deprive tho owner of his propel tj. lor exam ple, an Individual mas invest all his mono In a hotel ptoperty, and then tho court in iv rofuso to grant him a license or ho may purchase a brewery, and the Uglslatuic may prohibit tho manufacture of beer In cither caso his income Is cut off and tho value ot his pioperty greitlv diminished, and jet no ono would doubt tho power of the court or legislature to tuko such action If they saw lit It tho conclusion that tho state has the. general power to regulate the affairs of private corporations, us far as the lu : . f ii nutiiin nro concerned, is correct, then it onlv remains to consider whether this power has been dclegatcet to tho city councils so far as regards tho city of Scranton Uy tho provisions of tho new constitu tion tho legislature Is ptohlblted from legulatlng bv Bpeclal laws the local ar falrs of cities and towns, and bj tne fcencral laws enacted for the government of cities such matteis mo left almost ertlrely to tho local authorities, feuch a course was a necessity, for the local needs of each city dilfer so widely from others that effeetlvo regulation by gen eial law would bo Impossible Tho third rlnss cltv charter bv which Scianton Is governed provides that "tho mayoi and councils srall havo power to enact ana ordain nn and all ordinances not repug nant to tho constitution nnd laws ot tint Mate, and buch as It shall deem cm- -client for tho good government of tlio eltj tho preservation of the peace and good older, the benefit of trade and cunt nnice, and tho health of the Inhabitants thereof, and .such other ordinances, rules and itgulatlons as may ho neces-ar to curry such powers Into effect ' It was doubtless tho Intention of the framtis of tho constitution and tho legislature that cnucted out cltj charter to vest in the local nuthoiltlcb tho power to legl 1 ilo In r. gard to local affairs uh fullv as tho legislating Itself might do subject to tho condition that f-uch legislation should not be in conflict with the con stitution or the btatuto ClIAUTEU OP COMPANY The only statuto to bo considered is tho e Inciter of the Gas and Watu companj, whtih 1 havo already noticed, and tho constitution question boems to bo lully disposed of In tho Supremo eouit deci sions heretofore quoted In connection with this put of the subject it only remains to consider whether the tuppljlng ot tho city with water and gas is a matter of biicli public Interest as Justifies it3 regulation by the municipal authoiltles According to Lord Halo. "Propeity does become clothed with a public interest when Ufced In a manner to mako it of public consequence and affect tho community at large hen, therefoie, ono devotes his property to a uso In which the public have an inteiest, he in eftrct grants to tho public nn inter est In that use, and must submit to be conti oiled by the public for the common good to the cMont of the Interest ho h is thus created lie may withdraw his grant bj discontinuing the use, but ai Vmgtns ho maintains that uo ho must submit to tho cotrol " Tho furnishing of water and light for the uso of tho peo ple of tho city Is u matter of the highest Importance Thu supply of water Is not only a onvenlenco but an absoluto neces sltj I'pon tho piopet supply of water thiogh the tlio hjdrants depends tho bafety of the cltv and upon tho furnish ing foi prlvato consumption depends In a gloat mi'asure the health of tho Inhabi tants The water comp inl aio giant eel extiaorelliniv pilvllcgcs, among which are the right to u-o tho public streets, and to take private propeity, unit enter upon private lands The y mono havo theto privileges, and competition being lmpofslble, thej enjov a vlitual monopoly As Lord Ellenboiough sajs In tho passage abovo quoted, If they would have a inonopolj thej must con sent to enjoy It on icasonablo terms, and this means not terms arbitrarily estab lished bv themselves, but on conditions prescribed bv tho representatives of tho whole communltv, the paitles most near ly nnd v Itallj' concerned MUST USK POWER PROPERLY Just here, however, It may be uiged that If councils fix the rates thev might put them so low that tho receipts ot tho companies might fall below tho expenses There Is no doubt that this power, llko all legislative powers, Is liable to abuse.
