The Latest Peculiar Ordinance for Its Benefit. A Jug-Handle Contract for the Benefit of the Company. How It Strikes Some of Our Best-Known : Lawyers. “ The new West Division Railway ordi- nance, introduced {nto the Council under . -somewhat peculiar circumstances a week ago last Monday night, has not escaped crit- icism on the part of those who read between the lines, and who have detected what would seem to bea curious inconsistency between what the Company ostensibly propose to do and what, under 4 very easy and pretty con- struction of the terms of the ordinance, the Company might do if it.should pass the Council and becomealaw. At first blush there isan appearance of phenomenal gen- erosity in the Company’s offer,—phenomenal because corporations as a rule are not inclined to give up anything, or, indeed, much of auything,—but a closer inspection reveals several loopholes of escape which the Council as the lesislative boay of the city would do well not to leave open. - "The main objections to the ordinance have have already been suggested in these col- .umns. A fuller presentation of the question, however, is embraced in the following inter- views which a reporter for Tae Tripuxe succeeded yesterday in obtaining from a coupte of legal gentlemen who had been looking into the subject: “The Railroad Company make their con- tribution conditional,” said Gen: L ~ Stiles, in 0} up the subject, “on the city pubiae certain kind of a bridge, to-wit: a four-track one. Now, it may be that the City will want to build a larger or a smaller one. This ordinance is to con- tinue in foree twenty years, and it is not an easy thing to anticipate the changes that may be necessary in «-fording facilities for cross- ing the river. Itis very clear that this ordi- nance has been very carefully prepared by somebody, and the efféct of it is td place the company in this position: that, if a four- track bridge shall succeed the existing one— that is, the one now in use,—they will bear a certain proportion of the expenses. But suppose this existing bridge should be sup- planted by some other than a four- track bridge. From that time on, un- ordinance, the Company is relieved from contributing anything. But the feature of the ordinance which struck me most forcibly was that they should seek to enter into an arrangement with the city by which, hereafter, for twenty years, there shall be no assessinents against this Company. What would be thought of a private individyal who proposed an arrange- ment of that sort? I should like to improve my property in that way and have the city i me alone for pventy. dente, ane | masgiie area many ¥ ‘S who would exactly object to that sort of " Has the’ ‘Gouneil any power to make that rt of a contract?” eon I doubt very much if the Council has any power to der this RELIEVE A MAN or a corporation from a certain kind of taxa- tion for twenty years. It is also noticeable that whoever drew the ordinance was very careful not to acknowledge the right of the city under its police powersto exact a license for running cars on its streets, for the con- sideration of the $50 license fee is distinctly made, certain ‘privileges and immunities "hereby nted.” It is very strange, tou, that the fee is to be * $50 and no more.” Now supLose, in thecourst lof the-next twenty years i. is deemed proper or advisable by the city that the license fees on street railway cars should be increased, as well as the license * fee for trucks, drays, express wagons, etc. Upon what theory can it be held thatit is proper to make a contract now which shall extend — thronga tweity Jearn, and by which the city prouises not to exact more than a certain license fee? How easy it wonld be to enter into an arrange- ment of this sort, for illustration, with the Saloonkeepers’ Association, by which it should be agreed that the license fee for selling liquor should never exceed $3» for twenty years; and in principle 1 can’t see where & differs from this proposed arrange- Tent of tne strec-car compimy. This license fee, remember, is to be paid only on cars which run over Lake street bridge. But suppose the Company should choose to run over some other track and some other bridge, where will the city get its fees then 7” “ What do you think of the arrangement by which- the Coinpany, is to report the amount of fees to be paid 2” “That report, for anything to the con- trary in the ordinance itself, is to be made final and conclusive. Thatsort of thing is generally known as a jug-handle arrange- ment, and this whole bu: iness seems to be a good deal of a Jug-handle scheme.” “ Do you deem it wise to pass such an ordi- mance as this?” “It don’t seem to me safe to pass this ordi- nance. The hands of the city are tied by it fortwenty years. The ultimate object of the ordinance is to retain the ENCLUSIVE CONTROL OF TRAVEL in the West Division by this present Com- pany, and the or very cunningly devised to do that very thing. ‘Chere is an apparent show of great liberality, but it is like the generosity exhibited by these pcople Who are always doing so mucit for the pub- lic when what they do is done with the money of the public.” Capt. W. P. Biack, of the Jaw firm of Dent & Black. consented to give his opinion of the ordinance for.the benefit of Tur Trin readers, and contributed the following clear and careful statement of his views to the literature on thit subject: * In my view,” said he, “ there are serious bjections to be urged to some of the pro- isions of this ordinance. As tu Suc. 6, I think it can properly be objected that the liability which is apparently sought to be imposed thereby upon the Company is made to depend upon a very great variety of. con- tingencies, Which may never happen as Stated in the section, so that the Company quay escape all tiability thereunder, It will be observed that no provision is made for the Company’s paying for the expense of con- structing approaches to such bridge, which anay be very great, and that no provision is made for the Company’s contributing to the construction cf any other than a ‘large, four-track bridge.’ But the main objection to Sec. 6, in my view, consists in one provis- jon inserted in it, that the payment of this one-half of the first cost, with the payment of the $1,000 per annum thereafter toward. the cost of repairs, renewals, operation, ete., shall bein lieu of ail other assessments or obligations on the company on account of this crossing of the river. Itis the apparent purpose of this provision to expressly ex- empt the Company from ability to assess- iment for any renewals or replacements of this proposed bridge in the event of its de- struction, or in the event from any cause of necessity arising for a replacement of the bridge. In my judgement, the City Council have no power to pass an ordinance of this character, providing for the exempting of this Company from its proportion of the legal assessments that might become neces- sary forthe construction of future bridges, or the renewal or repl: of the proposed bridge. Suppose that during the term of twenty years it should be necessary to ERBUILD THIS PROPOSED BRIDGE over the river four, or five, or six times; the the Company would claim, under this'pro- vision of Sec. 6, that on paying one-half of the first cost, and the $1,000 a year thervatter, they were exempt from liabi to contribute to the regular, ‘gal assessment for any future bridge building in the same locality. I do not think it is competent for the City Council to bargain away the power of assessment upon the West Division Railway Company for such improvements, in view of the constitu- onal brovision that taxation be uni- orm, “As to Sec. 7,1 think the provision that the license fee to be exacted during the con- tinuation of the license shal! be no more than $50 is an improper one. It is contrary to the policy of municipal legislation to al- Jow the Council to bargain away the Jicense power for a long term of years. The chan of situation in the course of twenty years in x rapidly-growing city like Chicago might fake 8 license fee of $50 per annum utterly inadequate; pst particularly shonld no such ec ordinance passe When another company is proposing, us under- stand is now the case, to pay the city of the city to increase that license fee here- after, if it should be deemed proper. The City Council holds this licensing power os & trust to be exercised, not for the pone a J licenses, but for the ‘advantage, of e ci tye and it hasbeen held that courts 0} f equity may interfere by injunction to preven tn consummation of just sucha bargain tts te proposed in this ordinance between the city and the West Division Hallway Company with reference to this matter of license. oe Te may be further objected as to this sec- oath of the President of the oo ee isms apparently conclusive evi- dence as to the amount that is to be paid the city in the matter of this license fee. Such a provision should never.be inserted into any such ordinance, but the city should be left free toascertain, through disinterested agents, the amount that is due it upon licenses with- out being compelled to Jook to the sworn re- turn of any officer of the Company, whose in- terest it is to reduce the amount to be paid as much as possible. “Tt may further be fairly objected to the provisions of Sec. 7 that there are 100 MANY CONDITIONS sisi as to the route to be run by the cars to be li- censed. It is provided by the section, in ef- fect, that the license fee shall apply to cars run ‘over Lake street bridge’; but there is no provision in the section requiring that cars of any particular line shall be run over said bridze, and it would be very easy for the Company to escape the payment of any- thing more than a very small amount, by re- ducing to the .winiinum the’ number of cars passing over the bridge. In fact, the whole ordinance looks like an effort onthe part of the West Division Railway Company and Its friends to secure this route more for the purpose of excluding competi- tion than for the purpose of operating what the Company supposes will be a profitable Jine; and it seems'to me that the policy ofthe Council should be t6 encourage competition rather than to legislate’in the direction or in the interest of a monopoly.” . PROF. WATSON’S WILL. After Providing for His Immedlato Relatives, He Bequeaths the Rest of His Estate to the National Academy of Science. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. ANN Annor, Mich., Nov. 27.—Prof. James C. Watson’s will was opened this afternoon. It is in his own handwriting, and 1s dated July 11, 1874. He bequeaths to his wife the sum of $3,000, insured upon his life in the Connecticut Mutual Life-Insurance Com+ pany, and an annuity of $200 a year, and to his mother an annuity of $150; to his brother, Edward Watson, the amount of the latter’s indebtedness to him. All residue and re- mainder of his property, including insurance on his life (§10,000 in Michigan Mutual Life-Insurance Company), 240 shares of stock in’ the Ann Arbor Printing & Publishing Company, ninety-six shares of the Chase Publishing Company of Toledo, and all his other stock, bonds, securities, realand personal property, to the National Academy of Science, Washington, D. C., of which he was a member. All the property is to be sold and~invested by the National Academy, and its income is tobe expended in the advantageous study and science of astronomy. The particular objects and works which may be aided by this fund is to be determined, subject tothe approval of the Academy, by a Board of Trustees, who shall be members of said Academy, and as such first Board .he designates Julius E. Hilgard, of the United States Coast Survey; Simon Newcomb and J. H. C. Coffin, Professors of Mutheiatics in the United States Navy. Vacancies in the Board are to be filled by election by the Academy. He also provides for the establishment of a fund by which a gold medal of the value of $100, with a further gratuity of the same amount, may be awarded from time to time to the person in any country who shall make any astronomical discovery, or produce any astronomical work worthy of special reward. He also makes provision for preparing and. publishing a table of the motion of all planets. discovered by himself. Julius E. Hilgard. Simon Newcomb. J. H. C. Cofiin, of Wash- ington, and President James B. Angell and L. Gruneer, of Ann Arbor, are appointed executors. oo SUED FOR $30,000. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Laraverrr, Ind., Nov. 27.—Drs. David H. and Jerome Crouse are well-kuown physi cians aud surgeons. They reside at Dayton, this county, where they are much respected, socially and professionally. On the 12th of January last, Robert I. Leibenguth was em- ployed in felling trees, and by some mis- fortune a heavy timber felled him, and the bones of both legs were broken below the knees. Robert at once placed himself under the care of the Drs. Crouse, and his limbs were set by the and itis presumed the job was done as best it could be. But Leibe: guth is dissatisfied with their workmanship, and, insteal of forking over a good sum for surgical attendance, it is, “on the contrar quite the reverse,” for he has demanded th: the surgeons aforementioned increase | bank account te the extent of 330,000. His suit is brought in the County Court by Ann Leibenguth, his nextfriend, who sets out that the Drs. Crouse were employed to set and make good the fractured limbs, but by re: son of unskillfulness and negligence plaintiffs legs are crooked, and that he is greatly deformed, to an extent that he is now, and has been for several months, un- able to follow his customary pursuits, all of which misfortunes he attributes to the de- fendants’ unskillfulness and — neglixence. For damages he asks $30,000, but the Doctors prefer to leta jury decide the case, and will vigorously contest it in the courts. <a COAL-MINERS’ STRIKE, Special Dispute to The Chicago Tribune, SPRINGFIELD, Ll, Nov. 27.—All the min- ers employed at the Junction, West Shaft, Barclay, and Riverton coal-mines, and part of those at the Old North Shaft, struck to- day, demanding four cents a bushel for dig- ging. Work is still progressing at the two co- operative shafts, and at -Starnes and the North Shaft, where the colored miners em- ployed refused to strike, The mine-operators have not yet decided whether to allow the increase or not. Owing to the great scarcity of cars on all the railroads, there has been almost a coal famine of late, especially along the line of the Wabash Railway. as the railroads have barely been able to transport. coal enough for their own use, much less to supply the people along the lines. It’ is teared, therefore, that if the strike continues the cecal: sa pe: aulte serious, ehenh it is not probable that the running of trains will be interféred with. ae $$$. __» THE SANDRINGHAM AFFAIR, Nonrork, Nov. 27,—The Viryintan to-day has the followi The report that the Sec- retary of the Navy had consented to the nec- essary repairs on the English steamship Sandringham at the navy-yard is unfounded. British-Consul Myers received a telegram from Secretary Thompson referring the mat- ter to Commodore Hughes, who had, mean- While, ordered the steamer out of the dock. She leaves this evening for Baltimore, where she will go into dock Monday. : No littiesurprise is expressed by the British Consul at the action of Commodore Hughes. He considers that, even had the insult been given, whieh isdenied by the Captain of the Sandringham, when an apology and explana- tion were made in person and writing, the re~ pairs should hay n permitted, especially asien: te Per cretary, aft the Navy was i ed that required, Capt, MeKay would. be relieved of the command of the vessel. a WILL RESIGN, Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Quixcy, IL, Nov. 27.—The Rev. Edward Anderson, for several years past in charge of the First Congregational Church of this city, will sever his present pastoral relations with that society on the Ist of January next. Several attempts have been made to secure his peceplanes at calls to ditferent cligiole pulpits, th in this State and Wisconsin. It is probable that for the coming year, at least, he will remain out of the pulpit, employing himself for the most part with the public platform and privaté stud. a MADE AN ASSIGNMENT.
