Validity of 1 -. . 4. -' ? , ,., EDITOR THE INTELLIGENCER: In view of the recently published opinion of Mr. Sullivan that the wat er and lighting" contract made by the city council last whiter waa and is void for the reason that it was an at tempt to create a bonded indebtedness without the vote of the people and was therefore in violation of certain provisions of the constitution of 2895, it seems to mo necessary that 1 make this statement in ordt- to prevent misunderstanding as to my position in the matter inasmuch as he and I were the city's attorneys when that con tract was made and ho is now the city's attorney. I then thought and still thing that the city cou.icil bad the legal right to make th? contract in question. Mr. Sullivan's contention seems to be that the only ground for questioning the validity of the contract reste on the question as to whether the agreement to pay. the company for water and lights from month to month as furn ished during a term of years created a bonded Indebtedness within the meaning of the constitution without authority from the people so to do as expressed in an election held for that purpose. I claim no infallibility of opinion, legal or otherwise. In fact, it is my errors and shortcomings that help to keep me humble and sympathetic to ward my fellowmen. But I certainly ought to know what a municipal bond ls, for every outstanding bond 'against the city of Anderson was issued dur ing the 12 ?lars that I was actual and active city attorney, except the $8,000 issus O* c.'twff hall UO?UB, Which were issued while ? was mavor. The very fact that neither I nor MrJ Sullivan nor any other member of the bar nor citizen of Anderson, it is fair to presume, for one moment thought that tho making of the contract for water and lights was creating a bond ed indebtedness within the me&nlng of tho constitution in some evidence as to how both lawyers and laymen con strued the meaning of "bonded indebt edness," for not only the lawyers but the laymen know that no bonded In debtedness can be created except by a majority vote cf tho electors of the municipality cast at an- election order ed by tho city council as a result of a petition from a majority of the free holders asking fer the election. - One of the fundamental rules of construction ls to give to language the ordinary and common meaning which tho average man understands by it. The generally accepted meaning of municipal bon ?ed indebtedness 1st that the city issue and sell its bonds for the purpose of raising a fund with 'which to perform some municipal work or improvement. The very fact that the constitution requires that mu nicipalities shall, on issuing bonds, "create a sinking fund for the re demption thereof at maturity," strong ly supports that' view. TJ?e average man, whether a lawyer or a layman, would be Sorely puzzled to see any, necessity for erc?tlO?* a Sinking fund to pay water and iisbc reniais which are due and payable monthly. The necessary proc?dure for issuing bonds is as followo, by way of illustra tion: A majority of the freeholders; of the city sign a written petition to council asking that an election be held on the question of Issuing the bo?u? of the city to a certain ?moaut for the purpose of making certain im provements, as for instance, paving streets. The voters cast their ballots saying yes or no on the question as to whether, In the first place, they are In favor of tho paving, and. in the sec ond place, whether they are willing j for the city council to Issue and sell enough bonds to raise the amount of money that is necessary to do that paving. If the majority votes in favor of issuing bonds for that purpose* 4be city borrows the required sum by is suing and delivering its bonds to the .man who lends, the money, bonds be ing nothing but promises to p?.y back tho money with Interest, and the mon ey fa turned Into the treasury and paid out as the work is dode. Of course the city thereupon levies a tax for the purpose of paying the Interest on the bonds each year, and is also required to create a "sinking fund" with which to pay the principal of the debt when due. Of course everybody understands that a "sinking fund" merely means that the city must lay by each year such sum*of. rooney ss trill in the aggregate enable lt to pay the principal of tho bonds when due. On the other hand, If a majority of the people vote no, then the paving, as a matter of course, is not done. In other words, the Question'res!ly voted on is' "sholl we have paving." What would the people be af ked to vote on when lt comes to making ? contract for water and lights? Cer tainly not aa to whether we should have water and lights, fdr that is an absolute necessity and a fixed policy. We might aa well ha a*k?d u/Jiother we want eiitosh-me and showers. They could not vote On the question of con; firming or rejecting any pmpceed con tract, in all .probability, for lt ls not likely that responsible people who would be able to satisfactorily furnish water and lights would care to go to ike trouble and expense of makin*? a extract that might bo whimlseally rejected, or that might be rejected for some feature that could be easily agreed on if it were possible to find ont the ground of objection. It must he remembered that if Mr. Sullivan's contention is valid, that there would be np costract on which to vote unless ?4% ?was voluntarily entered into by those proposing to furnish: water and lights for the purpose cf submitting it to the people for ratification or rejee ?:. It is not a question df voting on tho contract that has already been made. If that contract ls invnlld then ne company weald have the same ht ss the city to treat it as void. W>.at, then, would bc submitted to the people tor their x decision T It ?MajaflaanB^BHaf Ipod Discusses Franchise Matter could only be. In my Judgment, the question whether the city should un dertake municipal ownership and control of the water and lighting sys tems, or whether the city council should 'make tho beet contract po ssl- j Me with some responsible person to furnish water and lights to the city and its inhabitants on the most satis factory basis that could be negotiated. Suppose that question had been sub mitted to the voters and a majority had voted in favor of municipal own ership, which would have required the city *o issue bonds to carry that into effect, lt JB possible to conceive that a majority of the people might thereupon refuse to vote the neces sary bonds. Granted that' such ls not likely to be the case, ??111 it eau not be denied that such ia a possibility and that an absurd result would follow. Our constitution is not likely to re quire that which may lead to an ab surdity. On the other hand, suppose a ma jority of the people had voted in favor of the city making the best contract possible with some private concern to furnish water and lights. What kind of a predicament would that have placed the city council in? If Mr. Taylor should have been asked to submit a proposition under such cir cumstance!, ha might have replied that he Was not In the market Just then and that when tho city council had fled all other possible contrac tors that they might call around to see him again if they had not obtained what they desired. When that time came, as it certainly wnuld hiva come, then ho could have submitted his proposition- on terms of his own choosing and then told the atty coun cil that' the people had already voted against municipal ownership and that they must accept the contract offered by him or look elsewhere. Such a pre dicament would have deprived the city council of the strongest leverage that it had to force the most favorable terms possible, for without the threat of municipal ownership and control, which waa constantly used by the city council in the contract made, the city would have been under the necessity of making that contract without the least competition or pressure in its behalf. As tested by common sense, which ls a very necessary and important factor in the successful practice of law as of every other business, lt does not seem to me that the making ot this contract wss the creating of a bonded indebtedness within th"> mean ing ot the constitution. The men that made that constitution were men like Jobn B. Breazeale. George E. Prince, D. H. Russell. J. M. Sullivan,. 3. Perry Glenn and L. D. Harris, who were members from Anderson Coun ty, and I do not believe that they' in tended to say that the making bf a contract for the furnishing ot water and lights was a creation of a "bonded debt" that required a vele of the peo ple to ratify. They doubtless mosst just what the average man under stands to be meant by a bonded debt, namely a debt created by the sal.e of bonds, from , the proceeds of the sale of which some- corporate purpose is accomplished. . But Mr. Sullivan thinks that the. su premo court has already decided that the ms'.isg cf such a contract where by the city merely obligates itself to pay a monthly rental for water and lights for a terni of year bs the crea tion of such a bonded dent as requir id a vote of the people to make the contract valid, and refers to the Char i l~?ton caae and Gie Fountain Inn case authority 2cr his conclusion. I do not reach the same conclusion from those cases thst he does. In fact I think that the latter of those cases pointedly indicates' that the court does not deem such a contract as creating' a bonded Indebtedness in the constitutional meaning. The 'Charleston case was merely an attempt, on .the part ot the city of Charleston to avoid tho constitutional limitation as to indebtedness ; hy hav ing organised a water company which was ostensibly to issue a million and a half dollars worth of bonds for the purpose of infilling a proper water system and letting the city of Charles ton in effect guaranteo Gie payment thereof by binding Itself to pay the equivalent of nearly $S0. per hydrant per year for So years, the term for which' the water bonds were to run, unless the city in the meantime should able to take over the plant. The promo court very properly held that that was an attempt to increase Its bonded indebtedness, which already far exceeded the constitution limita tion, and that the proposed contract was therefore void. While Mr. Jus tice Pope, who rendered'the decision in that case, used language that in dicated' that he believed the macing of a contract for water and lights WOUI4 amount to a creatina of ia ttM??. ed debt within the meaning of; the constitution, the other three' Justice? concurred Only in the "reawlt" of his decisions which means that they re fused to commit themselves to any reasoning or statement made in the opinion other than the nier? conclus ion, namely, that t?iat particular con tract, was Invalid. Tne Fountain Inn case waa an at tempt on the part of a cl ti ?en to pre^ venrthe making of a lighting contract j between the town ead the Enroee Power Company after "a' special elec tion wa? held tn said town In which the question of making ?aid contreet was submitted to the qualified electors thereof; and Ute majority of . th era voted in favor of making tho con tract" The only two questions "In volved were whether the town had au thority, to order the election sod whether there was a proper registra tion of volera. Mr. Justice Hydrick wrote the opinion and began the opinion by Baying; . Ht laaay^ fe ejaeafei* that_?be -J-l proposed s contract ia ot the nature of a bond debt (referring; to the Char lestou case), which can not be created without the sanction of the majority of the qualified electors of the town, constitution, Art. 8, Sec. 7." If ht and the other members of the supremo court were of the opinion that that contract created a bonded indebted ness it ia not likely that they would have used, that pecvMar language, to wit: "It may be conceded that the proposed contract is of the nature of a bonded debt." To my mind, it was merely equivalent to say that for the purpose of deciding the two questions involved it may be conceded that it waa cerating a bonded] debt, but even if such were true, and an election was I necessary, then thia town council had I authority to order the election and I consequently the contention that it I was without such authority overruled. I In coming to that conclusion the I court further used this languange: I "Moreover, as the making of the cou tract is thc creation of a bonded I debt," etc., but that, to my mind, I merely meant, namely, that it may be conceded for the purpose of thV* de cision that the contract waa a bonded I lebt, and still the constitutional re quirements as to creating a bonded I debt had been complied with. But let's concede for the sak>? of ar gument (as the supreme court " did above) that our contract was invalid at tho time it was made, and then the I question naturally arises whether the I city and the citizens are now estopped in fairness und justice from raising that question. Mr. Sullivan came to the conclusion that they were not, and quoted the case of Mllster vs. Spar tanburg, 08 S. C., aa, in ?w.pport of his 'lew. That was a case brought by a citizen to require the city of Spartan b.irg to collect taxes from a cotton mill that had been exempted from ta ration for a period of ten years by tho city council.. I think the Tollo'w inS quo-l-tion from that samo dccU?ou moro in point than the portion quoted I by Mr. Sullivan, to. wit: 'That most serious question for the court I?, did the Inaction and delay amount to s&??i l?ch?s an will make the granting ol tho petition unjust and inequitable? ll so, whatever may have been the rights of the petitioners, the;' phnuld not ?ow be inforced. In solving this ques tion the important inquiries ate:' ftj I Was the delay unreasonable; and (2] Woulds ita natural result' be injury t< tho party against whom tho relief ii sought?" That involves moral ques tions that every man can answer foi himself. Every citizen has had tbi right to go directly to the supremi court to have the validity of the con tract tested from the very day that 1 I was signed. And if that court ehouh I hold that the delay was not unreas I onable, could it hold that the natura I result Of setting the contract asid would not cause injury to tho com I pany? I hear that the company ha I spent something like $30.000 In put ting in new mains. Section 6 of th contract provides that "the compan; shall immediately upon acceptance c thia ordinance, or as soon thereafte I as it conveniently can, and 'within 1 H month* from acceptance,' replace al water mains of four Inches, or less, I ? diameter, that aro now used to sur I ply water to Are hydrants.with main I not- less than six inches in diameter, I etc. Had the .company delsyed pal ting in those six .inch mains up t thia dat? it could well have bee charged with indifference to ita cos I t ractual obligations and that lt woul likely fall to perforar that part of il I contract Within the. time i sp?cifie* ? Would the injury done the compan I be entirely compensated for by tb I city reimhur?!ng _ fer thc cs pon? ? incurred? It is not. conceivable tin ? any fair minded man would be wil ling to set the. contract aside un let the company waa. fully compensate ? for ali moneys expended in- Iraprovln I ita services so as to save it agalni ? the very injury that the court s peal of. I do not believe the supren ?court would ?et asied the contract ui der the circumstances even if I should come to the conclusion that ti I contract was Invalid when passed ar ? would then have so declared had tl H question been promptly raised. If the supreme court should declai tho contract invalid 5 will have tl satisfaction ot knowing that I ga> Hour former clients, the city comic the best service I was capable of, fi ? it goes without saying that they r ? lied absolutely on their attorneys ? (eke care Of the la gal phases ot tl ? {batter. They, as well as the puMl might well feel that the city attorns had been derelict In duty had th< ?permitted ' ?ss waste of time, otto and mon . negotiating a worthle ? contract, i would feel deeply morl ? ned if auch should have proven to 1 the case. * ?Now a few words as to the buslne H side of tho matter. The members ? council ' aad their attorneys spe ?mach time, day and night, in workli ?pu, the negotiations leading up to tl ?adoption of itne contract. So rar as ?know, every one of them was workli ? to obtain a contract that would ?mir and Just to the city as well as ?the company. I found Vr. Taylor a Mr,-Orr alert in behalf of their coi Dany, as lt waa thftfrr AnHr-.?o bc ?never saw the slightest effort pu th< ?gtfri to mislead br deceive anv o i nd I believe that t can say for eie ?mewther Of that council, as I say i myself, that the negotiations We ?soudttctod without thp least'dW^S on either side, and1 &tfT&foxWl of the matter was thoroughly and i ?peatcdly discussed add undersfa ?aad'tito utmost publicity given then as everybody will remember. ? 'Yba test, of the Intelligence a?d dollly with which work is done c generally be found in the results i complishsd. Let os look at some the benefits that were accomplished behalf of the city and Its citizens: The water consumer now gets 3,( ?gslloos for 75 cents as against S.? ?spy rs Cents under the old contra We tried very hard to make the m (mum Bd cents but lound that abo tody would have had to pay tai than a reasonable rats ff th* minimi co. sumer obtained water at' leasT a reasonable rate. -Ali four Inch water mains are placed by not lesa than ?tx Inch maras and only six inch mains shall now be installed. The city now pays |40 per hydrant as against $50 under the old fran chise; and aa the city ls now requir ed to pay for the water used fer sew erage and sprinkling and other pur poses, the Individual consumer ob tains his water at the lowest mini mum possible. The city has the right at any time to purchase the entire water plant on a basis that would ba fair and Just to the city and company. The minimum consumer of electric ity pays ll cents per killowatt hour with five per cent discount in ten days as against 121-2 cents ander the old contract, as I remember. When tills was under consideration the offi cials of the company stated that they would reduce that, charge to 10 cents as soon as arrangements could be mad o to adopt that rate in Spartan burg and Greenville, and that Ander son would be given the benefit ot that rate though it was a less consumer than either of the other two cition. I understand that that Tate has been put in effect The city has tho right once in every five years to purchase Ute company's electrical plant and appliances In use In the city for furnishing electric lights and ?mall power, in connection therewith ut ?he Unie of the purchase by paying a fair and reasonable price therefor, and a scehme ls provided for arriving at that price lt the city and company can not agree. While the term of tho contract is 40 years, still Ute city may terminate lt In each five years thereof by purchasing the plants of the company. I think the city council negotisted an excellent contract; that no other body ot men could have done better. My understanding was that tho three members who voted against the rati fication of the contract did so 'tecause thou "ht it desirable tc submit lt to a vote of the people and :tot* be cause they did not think thc.t the con tract was a fair and Just one to the city. i : tflM I am handing Mr. Sullivan a copy of this statement before its' publica tion. Had he shown me a copy of his opinion before publication, which every consideration of courtesy and mutual Interest and liability in the premises required, I would have tried to save him from Ute unhappy plight into which he has let his extreme par tisanship throughout this whole mat ter lead him. I ehall endeavor by every proper and honorable means to uphold the validity of this contract, made by our clients with our assistance, as their trusted attorneys, and wot only on that account but for the additional reason that I believe that tho people of Anderson, whom I have ever striven to faithfully sente as n municipal of ficer, are enjoying and will er Joy the fruits of a fair and beneficial contract that probably could not be duplicated should they be deprived thereof by any unwise action on fae part of their present city council. Indeed, I enter tain a very confident hope that at least a majority of tra council will abandon the et!? .1 to deprive the peo ple of the brents of that contract as soon as tliey shall have bad the op portunity of studying the matter th .-roughly slough to roach '?a inde pendent conclusion thereon.
