C. iiarnum, City Treasurer?Sir: I
wrote you October 80, about the oity of
Columbia bond, No. 61, in possession of
Mr. J. T. Wslstnan, executor of bis
father, J. Welsman, and then stated be
would arrange it. On yesterday, he
surrendered mo the bond, boing satis?
fied it was the property of the estate of
W. P. Ingraham. I will hand it to Col.
Pinoknoy, my oo-exeoutor, who will
soon go to Columbia and hand it over to
yon, as it is yoar property. I regret
this matter was not settled long since;
but it was no fault of mine, as I have
urged it ever since I waa informed he
had the bond at first, I- send y on an
extract from my cash book, showing
when I got these bonds, No. 3, Ac-., and
did always collect the interest. Yours
truly, GEO. H. INGRAHAM.
This bond is for $500, issued March
21, 1850, and was supposed to have
been lost in 1865, when Sherman's army
passed through Columbia, and in 1867 a
new bond was lesued in lieu of tho sumo,
surrendered as aVjfc v? stated.
Abe following opinion of J. D.Trade
well wns presented by his Honor tho
Mayor, who stated that he had n6ked it,
as an Alderman of the city hud publicly
stated that tho Mayor was at fault for
the condition of tho streets and hide
walks. On motion of Alderman Griffin,
the opinion was reoeived as information,
and was ordered to be published: '
Columbia, S. C, Feb. 19. 1874.
To Hon. John Alexander, Magor?Sin:
In answer to your inquiry, "Whou par?
ties arc summoned to have tho tide
walks in front of their promises put in
order, refuse to do so, und the oiry has
. ifo funds to do tho same, and charge it
.. to the parties the samo as taxes, what
power bus the Mayor iu the premises
\ then?" I reply, that the Muyor indi
%sfvisually is powerless, and that tho
': power in question is vc?tod iu tho Mayor
np4; Aldermen in-Couuoil, both by the
Actj of thu General Assembly and tho
ordinances of the oity, to which I now
v refer yon. Iu tho seventh section of the
? Act of 2d March, 1871, it i8 provided as
follows: "And said Mayor and Alder?
men shall have power and authority to
require all persons owning a lot or lots
in said city to olose in and to make and
. keep in good repair sidewalks in front of
> oKitl-.Iot or lotB, wherever tho same shall
fjj|?i\/ or adjoin any public street in said
"'fifty, if, in their judgment, such sido
watts shall bo necesaury?tho width
thereof nnd tho manner of construction
tpVbo designated und regulated by the
staid Mayor and Aldermen: aud for de?
fault or rofusal, ufter reasonable notice,
make and keep iu good repair auch
?.^(lewallt, nnd to close in Etioh lot or
'/jflpts, tho Mayor and Aldermen may
'..?cauao it to ba done, nnd require the
" owner to pay tho oust of the work; und
- the said Muyor and Aldermen are hereby
empowered to nuo for aud- recover the
samo by ncticn in any ooni-r, of no tup r
tent..jurisdiction: Provided; That tho
continot bo lot to thu lowest responsible
bidder." [See City Compilation, pogo
78 of Aots.J
..By.the fourth section of un ordinance
concerning nuisances, ratified on tho
9th of May, 1871, (p. ii of Compilation
of City OrdinuuooB,) it is ordained:
Thut nil open cellars or pita, where any
houso or houses shall have boon burned
or torn dowo, situated near any public
f treet, or alley, shall bo ouolosod by the
owner by a substantial feuco or railing;
nnd iu case tho owucr or owners of any
such cellar or pit shall neglect or refuse
to do bo, after due notico, tho Chief of
Police or any of hid assistants shall
cause the eamo to bo enolosod at tho es
pensu.of GUoh owner or owners. And
by Hhe tenth section of an ordi*
nutico \ concerning streets, pavements
r.ntl shade trees, ratified on thu 9th 61
BY J. A SELBY... GO
May, 1871, poge 23 of Compilation of
City Ordinances, it is ordained: That
all owners ot lots in tho city of Colum?
bia Bhall ouch repair, mend and keep in
order, at his or her own espouse, the
sidewalk butting on bis or her lot, ac?
cording to suob directions ae the Mayor
and Aldermen may, from time to time,
give; and any person neglecting or re?
fusing to do so, after ton days' notice,
Bhall forfeit and pay tho sum of $10 for
each nnd every day ho or sho shall or
may so refuse or neglect; uud it shall be
tho duty of tho Ohiof of Police, after
the expiration of said notice, to cuuso
said sidewalk to bo leveled or repaired,
at tho expense of tho owner of tho ad?
joining lot; which expense, when np
proved by the Mayor aud Aldermen,
shall he collected in tho same manner as
tho tax npon reul estate, after ten days'
notice to the parly concerned. By a
further ordinaueo, at pugo 43 of the
Bame compilation, it is ordained: That
the owners of properly or lots Bituatod
on Riohard30u street, between Upper
and Gervais streets, ou wbioh thcro arc
no buildings, shall, before tho ?rut day
of September, 1871, (printed, by mis?
take, 1870.) cause the samo to bo se?
curely fenced, tho fences to be suffi?
ciently high to pro vent injury to pedes?
trians; and when said lots have frontage
on side streets, said fences shall extend
at least fifty foot from Richardson street.
And by the second section it is ordained:
If any person or persons owning pro?
perty, us above stated, fail to comply
with this ordinance, tbo work shall bo
done by the city, and the cost of tbo
work charged against the owner as taxes,
aud collected accordingly. It is thus
seen that tho power over tho subject
mutter of your inquiry belongs to the
Mayor and Aldermen as a body, and not
to the Mayor alone, and that it is ample
for the purposes contemplated, but thnt
it must be exercised in acoordauce with
the Act to which I refer you, so far as
the cost is to be reimbursed to the city,
when the work is done by it, and the
work must be done by the lowest re?
sponsible bidder; nor can the expense
be charged aud be oolleoted as taxes, as
the present ordinanee provides, but
must be oolleoted by an notion in any
Trial Justice's court, if the amount do
not exceed 8100. In addition to- the
expense of repairing, mending and
keeping the sidewalks In good order, to
which the city may be put, and wbioh it
may compel the property-owner to pay
by au notion, I think tho Mayor and
Aldermen may enforce the penalty im?
posed upon dofaulling owners iu the
tenth section of this ordinaueo, con?
cerning street;, pavements and shade
trees, to which I call your attention; the
tjuuuitj' lu ua collected in uio sumo uiuu-j
ner as the expeuso of tho repairs of t ho j
Bidewaiks. Considering the great im?
portance of your inquiries concerning
tbo proper jurisdiction over tho.;u por?
tions of tho city water work? referred
to in your communication to mo, I ask
respootfully for further lime for the. pre?
paration'of my answer. I navd ti.e
houcr to be, yours rospeottully,
JAMES D. TRADE WELL,
City Attorney.
Alderman Carpenter answered, and
argued aguiust tho decision of tho City
Attorney, and thought tho matter be?
longed to the Mayor, and that he had
the power to act; tliut he was in fact tho
Council when they wore not in session.
If ho hud not the power, they ought to
give it to him, or to some one else.
His Honor tbo Mayor made some
lengthy remarks, us follows:
The Mayor stated that Alderm.tu Car?
penter had remarked, at a meeting held
in the Fourth Ward, that lie (the Mayor)
had never enforced tho ''ordinance re?
gulating side-Walks." Tho Mayor .stated
that Aidurmau L. C. Carpenter's state?
ment was false, which bn could prove
by tho Chief of Police, who, by hia or?
ders, had notified different parlies.
Some individuals wore too poor, aud
others replied, lot tho city authorities
atteud to tho matter with regard to side?
walks. The Cily Atioruey given Iiis
opinion iu the promises who are tho
proper partius to enforco thv ordinance
and tho mode ot collecting. The Act of
tho Legislature gives the Mayor und
Aldermen the power, und not tho Mayor
alone.
Mr. P. Sabmidt, who owns a lot in the
city on Riohardson street, has dug out
a ciliar, preparatory to building, nnd
has put up a temporary fence on a par!
of it. Some citizens having fallen into
tho Cavity, I Instructed the Chief of Po?
lice to notify Mr. 8. to huvo Ibo same
fenced according to HlP ordinance regu?
lating the same. Tho Chief of Police
informs me thnt he has several times no?
tified Mr. Schmidt, who replied that ho
would not do it. I thou bad Mr.
Schmidt summoned before me, uud gave
him until l> o'clock that evening to tiuvo
Ibo fsnce < rooted. Ho failed to do tbo
samo. The cily not being in funds to
fence Uiu ?iioc, I Dskod tho City Attor?
ney what power tho Mayor had in the
promises, lie gave au his opinion that
tho Mayor had nouo alone, und yol
tho Alderman says tho Mayor never cu
towed the ordinance. I repeat, thai the
Alderman's assertions are false. With
regard to streets, I will state that Aide:
mau Carpenter isscoond ou Urn Com
mitteo on Streets, and it iu a part of his
duty to seo to them. Ho has failed to
do it. Thore are twelve committees--?
three Aldermen to nach. It is oxpeu'.od !
that each committee will attend toils'
"Let our Jost Censure
LUMBIA, S. 0? FRIDAY MO
depart mont, and tho Mayor nover inters
feres with them, except when ho disco?
vers that the committees uro not attend?
ing to their duties. I nm awnro that the
central portion of the city is not iu as
good oondition ns it has been. This is
owing to the fact that the Chairman of
tho Commiltco on Streets bus been
opening some new streets on the out?
skirts of tho city, so that tho poor muu
can rench his homo ns well ns tho rich
man, who lives in a central locality. I
will hero state that Alderman Carpenter
has not done his duty. Some time
siuco, the City Council passed a resolu?
tion making arrangements with one of
our banks to reccivo our city money,
ami exchange the snmo for United
States currency. Tho Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Moans has
failed to mako any report. I havo been
awaiting his action. If ho will say that
ho cannot attend to the duties of his po?
sition, I will do it myself. I never
shrink from nuy duty that I nm called
upon to do, by day or by night. Alder-,
mau Carpenter states that it i3 not bis
duty to raise funds for tho city. I will
state that wheu W. H. Wigr, Esq., was
Chairman of tho Ways aud Means Com?
mittee, ho nlways attended to tho duties
devolved upon bis position with zeul
find alacrity. Tbo Alderman (L. O.
Carpenter) is not fit for the position he
occupies as Chairman of tho Committee
of Ways aud Means.
A communication from tha City At?
torney was also presented by his Honor
the Mayor, as to tho power of tho Mayor
and City Council in making repairs nt
the distributing reservoir of tho Water
Works; also, ns to tho engine house or
old Wuter Works, stating that, under
the decision of Judge Carpenter, ho did
not think the oity had the right or privi?
lege to mako repairs, or to in- any way
iuterfere; that the city had control of all
hydrants, and distributing pipes, but
nothing more, as everything bad, by de?
cree of the oonrt, been turned over to
tho Columbia Water Power Company.
It was, therefore, inoumbeut on them to
make the necessary repairs. On mo?
tion of Alderman Lowndes, tho same
was received as information.
Tho Mayor stated that, as the Colum?
bia Water Power Company did not keep
the fenoe in repairs around the distribut?
ing reservoir, therefore, ho had ordered
the same repaired, and hoped tho Coun?
cil would Bustain him in his action.
"Tho following bills were referred to
the Committee on Account.-: S. C. Flu
mer, Market; A. Palmer, street lights;
G. G. Newton, miscellaneous; Globe
Gas Light Cooapnny.
REFOItTS OP COMMITTEES.
Alderman Carpenter, from the Com
back the former report of that commit-1
too, which wus returned to them on the
refunding tho water frontuge on vacant
lots, saying that tho committee saw to
reason to change their report made ut
tho last meeting. Oa motion, tho re?
port of tbo committee watj adopted.
The Committeo on Acconuts reported
back !ho following bills, and ic.eom
mended payment, which was adopted:
J. Parker, B. P. Griffin, A. P. Car?
roll, J. Alexander, Cooper Sz Taylor,
Street Department; John Alexander ami
B. F. Griffin, Water Work?-; Cooper a
Taylor, Alms Houso; Fagan & Brotherr,
and Cooper & Taylor, indigrmt poor; I.
U. Coleinnn, examination of pauper
lunatics; W. Steiglitz, J. Alexander, A.
P. Carioll, J. A. Jackson, Cooper &
Taylor, Guard House; Globe Gas Light
Company, Street Department; Cooper ?t
Taylor, Hospital.
Aldormnn Carr, from the Committee
on Mo? City Ha!!, reported that tho
committee had met, and proposed that
Mr. Cramer have entire control as to tbu
construction of tho hull or theatre, aud
asked Council to net. Some debute en?
sued as to tin? cost of tho changes pro
posed, when it wus left L> lha notion ol
lho committee, who agreed to meet nt
11 o'clock ort tho 25th.
Aldci-mno C.;rr, Chairman of tho Com
mittou on Lights, roported to Council
that fifty burr- h of tiapthu had arrived,
and that be hud stored it ut tho Guard
Honst'; but us it was explosive, he
thought it bust to build u shed on ?uluc
vacant lot. On motion, by Alderman
Carpenter, tbn committee wero author'
iznd to build the idled proposed ut some
suitable point.
Alderman Griffin risked as to the office
of City Surveyor, and wanted to know
who wan responsible; and stated that
Mr. Miles had, poluj two years ago,
bought a lot, had the tame surveyed by
1>. P. Jackson, Iben City Surveyor, aud
built a house on tin* same. The present
surveyor had re surveyed tbo same, and
took in a portio 1 of tho house on an nd
joiuing lot, and Mr. Miles was ordered
to move bis house. Ho thought that!
Council might to take some action. Al-j
deitnau Carroll thought tho (iiici) of |
City Surveyor ought lo be abolished.
Qu motion, by Aldermau, Carpenter, I
a committee oi ihre-.* worn appointed to'
investigate the matter and report to tho j
Council. The Mayor appointed the fol
lowing ns the coramitCoe: Aldermen
Carr, Lnvndea aud Griffin.
On motion, Council adjourned.
