Eyery one who has reached the prime of life knowa how dificult [v Is to keep track of the hurrying years, It is only tho greater events that nre “firinly dated in” the mind.

Mr. Swett thought that if the aflldavits wero allowed to go In a large amount of extrancous mattor would be {ntroduced, which would result in complicating tho case. Mr. Ayer then gave n synopsis of the contents of the new nflidavits to show that they wero not tutroduced to controvert the answer, but aup- port tha allegations of the bill. Judze Drummond eald he had always been very liberal In ullowing the introduction of affi- wlavits, Iecwould in tho present case let the affidavits be read, subject to the objection of Mr. Anthony, and then give him a rcasonable time to answer them if e desired.

On the part of the defendant wero read the aflidarits of John A.

A recesa of nbout an hour waa then had, Inthe sfternoon Mr, Ayer made the opening argument for the complainant, taking up par- ticularly the quostion of the legality of the ten. yearcoritract betirocuthe People’s Gas-Light and Coke Company aud the clty, running from Oc- tober, 1839, to' October, 1870, Tha contract was that the Company should supply, at the rato of $3 per 1, feet, all the ‘gas needed by the city in the West Division toburn in tho street-lamips and public ofiices and bulldings of the city alang tho lines of the gas maius of the Company in the West Division. The chief ob- Jectlon to tho contract was that the Common Councll had no power to make provision for lighting the streets and publle bulldings for so Jong a time, and that its resolution authorizing the Mayor and Comptroller to enter fnto it was, therefore, ultra vires and vold, Mr. Ayerargued that the power of munieipal corporations Included not only those pranted to thetn expressly by the Legislature, but also all such as were necessarlly incldent to those spocl- fled or esecntinl to the purposes and objects of thelr corpornte existence. Among ths implled powers was authority to enter into all' contracts mneccssary {o tho proper exorclae of any power conferred expressly ar by implication, aud In the absenco of any atatutory reatriction all contricts thus made ln further- ance of the corporate objccts wers as valld ns the Iawful contracts of private corporations or persons. The charter ol the clty expressly pro- vided for lighting the city and for levylig o tax of two mills annually to mcet such expense. The power for lghting publie offices and build- ings, though not expressly given, was no lcss effectively” granted by nécessury implication. The means by which all this should be accom- Fllahcd was, however, left to the discretion of he Common Council, and its honest ‘decislon was final. The contract in question was oxe- cuted fn the cxorciso of sucn discrotion. The Gas Company was, at the time, the only corporation which could furnish gas In the West Division, nnd is so stlll. A plaln case of sbuse must bo shown to anthorize o court to declaro vold the nction of & municipal body within the scope ot iis corporate puwers, Thu present contract was confessedly valid in Its E\lrpnu, aud could mot be invalidated simply ceauise the city's corporato officers had exer- cised thelr discretion in declding the length of thne {t should continue. Unless that tine waa unreasonuble, consldering the interests of the clty and all the circumstances of the case, so ns to Indieate fraud, it was wholly luynaterial to the valldity of the contract whether it was toexs pire in onc or twonty years, ‘The argument that a contract for more thana your would divest the Common Council of a portion of those Jegislative functions, the n{;m to exerciee which at all thnes was essential to the perfortamnco of Its public duties, was nat sound, The aumarc{ to nake the cantract for - lighthiz the strects was not strletly legislalive, Every munfcipal cur‘mmunu posscesed o dual cliaracter, one political, governmental, or publie, thy other rruprwmry, or private. In muking the contract N questioll the city must be n(-anlud ns a Vi indiyidusl seeklo; [' private wants, and the locul rules applicable wore the smuin 88 those for an {ndlyidunl iy o matter pertuining to his own business. Another important question to be considered was, whether the contract was vold beeause no appropriation hud first heen made sufliclent to cover all the payments which might grow due thereunder, Tho .ml{ seetlon of the charter in forey in 1839 which related to the subject wos the followtug : 3 No contracls shall ba hereafier made by the Come mon Council or sny cominltteo or niembeor thoreof, And na expende sliall ba incurred by any of the ofi. gors or departments of sald Cliy Goverminent, whether tha oblect of expenditure “whall have beon ordered by the Common Councl or not, unless nn appropristion shall have beon previously made con- cornlug such exponso, ‘Fhat provision of tho law continucd ju forco until the present time, buving been adopted fiy the new churter, Tho muunieipal authorities had never considered 1t an impediment that con. tracts not to be performed within u year should hu provided for by an nm)roprlmon in advance, Tha stutute was sutisfied if au spproprintion wog mado Y coucurning," that s, " relating » to, the exncnse, By a previous section of thu sama chapter fn which the sbove restriction was found, f¢ was provided that the Comptroller should annually submit to the Council, among other things, o statament of ** the contractssiready made and ufinished” so that the Council conld fully understand the money exizencios of the city for the comiug ycar. Those two provisious were to bo construed together, aud thore was thua Jittle diffioulty in arriving at the conclusion that it was not, at all events, 3 condition prece- dent to the execution of such a contract that an sppropriation should be mado sufficient ta cover all the payments which night from year to year grow due under {t. No penalty, or provision that a contract contravenlig te corporation or as an pply his own such conditions should be vold, hnd ever been passed, A similar condition In’ the same chap- er, directing contractors who performed work which was to be paid for by speclal asscasmont tolook to that asscssment only for nymenta sud to agree Lo run the chances of {;el Ing pa in such wn(, but having no penalty attachenl, had been feld by the Bupreme Court to be merely dircetory and not m-mlntor[y. 11 that condition was ‘meraly dircctory, the require- ment a8 to the appropriation in the present in- stance should be considered as dircctory, Both were similar In_character,—the constraction of the tio should be allke, TilE UNION ELEVATOR, Jesse Toyt, Hiram Wheeler, Qeorge 1, Wheeler, Ocorzo L, Dunlnlp; A M.
