Megrrine oy THE WATER BoARD—Jmportant Deciston of the Corporation Attorney.—The Water Board met yesterday afternoon, at the office of the Mayet. Present: Messrs. B. B. French, Presiaen' pro tempore, Wm. G@ Moore, John H. Semmes, O.A. Schneider, of the Board, and by invitation, R. Coyle, Water Registrar. In suswer to a resolution passed at a pre- vions meeting, requesting the President pro zm. to ask ot the Corporation Attorney what powers the Water Board have in reference to isying Water mains and levying taxes, in ac- cordance with act passed July 20, 1861, pro- ¥Girg for @ more thorough distribution of Potomac water throughout the city of Wash- sogton, the following opinion was submitted : B. B, French, Esq, President pro tem. of the Water Poard.—Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 18th inet., enclosing copy of the resolution of the Water Board, passed on that day, asking my opinion as to ‘swhat powers the Water Board have inrefer- ence to laying water mains and levying taxes under the act entitled “An act for the more thorough distribution of the Potomac water throughout the city of Washington,” approved June 20th, 1861.” There are two distinct subjects of inquiry embraced in this question, and I dispose of the second first. They are the powers of the Wa- ter Board in laying water mains; and, second, their power to levy a tax. It will be seen by reference to the 4th sec- tion of the Act, a tax of seven-eighths of one per cent. is thereby levied on every square foot or partof a lot which binds on or touches on any avenue, street, or alley,in which a main Water pipe has been laid, or hereafter may be Isic by the United States, or by this Corpora- tion. &c. In the aeer pete of the section power is given tothe Water Board to allow an abate- ment of 6 per cent. if the tax is paid within 30 cays. And it is turther provided in the same section that the Water Registrar, under the dl- rection of the Water Board, sha!l collect the tax thus laid. Diy auswer to this second question is: the Water Board has no power to levy any taxes f1 this purpose, and their only power over the water taxes levied by the corporation ts to have them collected by the Registrar, and to allow an abatement of 6-100ths for prompt ayment. The other question, as to their powers in laying water mains, requires a more extended answer, but is,in my judgment, as free from reasonable doubt. The 3d section of the act in question gives to the «Water Board authority” to cause water mains to be laid in accordance with the Ist sec- tonof theactof Congress approved March 3d, 1963, entitled ‘“‘an act amendatory of an act en- titled an actto provide for the care and pres- ervation of the works constructed by the Wnited States for bringing Potomac water into the cities of Washington and Georgetown, for the supply of said water tor Government pur- poses, and for the usesand benefit of the inhabi- aants of said cities.” We are thus led to the Original act of which the act of 3d of March, 3°63, is thus made a part—to-wit: the act of 3d March, 1359—and we are to construe them as one act so far a3 they are not inconsistent with e;ch other. By the ist section of that eriginal act the whole of the works done and employed by the United States in obtaining, transmitting and distributing the water, are placed under the control of an officer of the United States as their property. The 2d section authorizes the cities of Wash- ington and Georgetown “ to supply their inhabi- tants respectively” with ‘*water from the aquee duct rmaains orpipes now laid or to be laid in the streets or avenues by the United States, and to make all laws and regulations for the dis- tribution of the same, subject to the’ restrictions prescribed by this act.” The 3d section empowered the said corpora- tions to establish -‘a scale of annual rates tor the supply and use of said water,” &c., é&c., “to collect such rates or rents,” &c., and gen- eraily to enact such Jaws as may be necessary to supply the inhabitants of Washington with pureand wholesome water, and to carry into Full effect the powers herein granted. [No power of taxation is given, but power te charge for the use only } By the 4th section power is given to the cities respectively to borrow money to execute the jaw. By the 5th provision is made against tap- ping the mains except in the manner pointed out by law. By the 6th it is contemplated that the Corpo- rations may lay down other mains, and the Engineer in charge is prohibited from making any contracts for them without the approval of ‘he Corporation, and that the cost shall be paid solely by the Corporation, and limiting the number of mains to be made by the Goy- ernment. These are the only sections touching this mstter. On the 2d June, 1959, the Corporation of Washington passed “An act regulating the distribution of Potomac water throughout the city of Washington.” The declared object of the law was to carry into effect the act of Con- ress*jast referred to. It would be a waste of fies to digest this law, and it will be only necessary to refer to sections 15, 20, 23, 24, 25, and 29, or rather to parts of them, tosee what powers the Corporation supposed themselves to have over Subject of mains, and the mode of reimbursing themselves fer the cost of distribution of the water under the act of 1859. ‘The 15th section directs that the Water Pur- -veyor shail cause mains to be securely laid, in all such streets, avenues and alleys, as may be designated by the Corporation: Provided, «That Such mains shall be laid only in such designa- ted avenues, streets or alleys where the rents received from the use of the water will yi-ld an smmediate return to the city of not less than siz per centum per annum upon the whole amount of the - ured expenditure in such avenues, streets or alleys.” The 20th refers exclusively to fire-plugs to be erected by the Water Purveyor. bar The 23d section prescribes regulations as part of the contract with every person who takes the water, The 2ith fixes the annual rents to be collected by the water department. The 25th prescribes the extra and miscella- Neous water rents. The29th directs that the Water Purveyorshall “cause mains to be laid wherever ordered by act of the Corporation” This, however, is to be taken subject to the restriction of the 15th section already referred to. Itis therefore quite clear that while by the Act of 3d March, 1°59, very ample power was given to the corporation over the distribution of the Potomac er aqueduct water, yet, by the just construction of that act, and by the con- struction put upon it by the corporation, those poweis were so limited that the corporation could only be reimbursed its expenditures by Water rents, and these were expected to yield only & reasonable per centage on the cost of the work, the principal to be paid in the course of ten years by means of a sinking fund to be created by these rents. The actof 3d March, 1963, was passed to en- large the powers o. the corperation, not to re- peel those already given, but to add others. In the ist section power is given ‘to levy and collect a water taz on all real property within the corporate limits which binds on or touches any Avenue, street, or alley in which a main water pipe bas been laid, or hereafter may be Isid by the United States, or by the Corporation of Weshington, * * * may be levied on lots in proportion to their trontage or their area, as the said Qotporation may determine.” It then pr ‘ibes times of payment by installments. oration has This is the power which the bao i ee act 20th June, 186! e section then proceeds: And the s: Co tion of Washington is farther phen ized and empowered, on petition of the owners of the majority of the real estate on any square cr line of squares, to lay down water pipes and erect fire-plugs,f&c., &c. Here, 1 presume, lies the only question of doubt, that is whether the Corporation can, at their discretion, lay down water pipes, or ‘whether can they do so except upon the appli- cation of the owners of a majority of the real estate on the street 1t would not be difficult to construct an in- genious agreement based on well settled princi- Ples of interpretation of statutes to show that ibis limitation of the power of the Corporation found at the close of the section authorizing them to tax the real estate fronting om the Street thus improved, was paramount, and took away from them, if they ever had it, the Saves power tolaythe mains when and they pleased; and such was my own view of this law when it was first brought to my notice; my consideration of it being confined to this Jaw alone The tallacy of such reasoning is made apparent by the review of the lation of Congress and of the Councils which I have c on of the - gested does not exist bop WP We recur to the original act most comprehensive power which gives the to be exercised at the discretion ot the Cor; jon; but that dis- cretion is controlled by means put into the hands of the Corporation to execute the power not by taxation, but by water rents. The work. ings of that oe pa proved its insufficiency. And they applied in 1863 for an enlargement— not of the power, that was sufficiently ample— but of the meansjto exeeute it. These means were given by the grant of power to levy and collect a water tax—not only on the property to be benefitted by mains thereafter to be made, but also on that benefitted by those already laid—not upon property benefitted by mains laid or to be laid by the city, but upon those also which had been or should thereafter be laid by the United States. This was to dis- tribute the burthen equally upon alljwho re- ceived the benefit. Accordingly we do not find any addi power to lay the mains in any part of 'h and we are to look for it in the original act, unless itis confined and restricted by the last clause of the first section already quoted. ‘There is a primary rule in the constraction of statutes, that effect shall be given to every part of it if possible; and again that the mean- ing of the legislature is to be ascertained from the whole law, the original act and its amend- ments. Nothing is more clear from the perusal of these two acts than this, that a general dis- cretionary power over the subject is given in the original law, and that a distinet power is given in theamendment. This last power is not discretionary. It is m latory and one which the Corporation can: refuse to exe- cute. The interestof third parties is concerned in its exercise and ample power to insure its ex- ecution is given along with it. They must lay the mains on the application of the owners of a majority of the real estate, &c. This rule is well settled, and a good illustration of it will be found in Mason vs. Fearson in Howard’s reports. e have, then, in these statutes two distinct powers, and the means to execute each of them, one of them discretionary, to be exercised by their own motion by the Corporation legisla- ting for the public good; the other mandatory, to be exercised upon Spplicsien to them in the manner prescribed by the law, by corporators for their especial local benefit. There is no irconsistency between these powers. They may well stand together. If so, they must be taken to co-exist. Besides, if the distribution of this water is to be restrained by the will of the parties whose property is to be taxed to defray the expense, the beneficent act of Congress in giving it to the Corporation will lose half of its value, and the public benefit de- signed in that gift would be defeated. his act of 20th June, 1364, is but part of the system adopted by the Corporation, under these acts of Congress, for the distribution of water. It does not give to the Water Board the full power of the Corporotion, but creates it as one of the instrumentalities for executing the laws of the Corporation, and in the 2d section de- fines its general powers. These powers ara ministerial, with au‘hority to prescribe rules and regulations in the exercise of them. They are to take charge of the mains after they hava been ordered by the cerporate authorities, either under their discretionary power, or on the ap- plication of the owners of the real estate, and to see to their being laid, and tothe distribu- tion of the water theretrom. They have no power to say what mains shall be laid, or when, or where. That isreserved to the Uoun- cils. I am, your most obedient servant, Josxry H. Braviey, Attorney, Corporation of Washington. Since writing the foregoing opinion, I haye | read again the resolution of the Board, and see they may not haye intended to confine their inquiry to water mains and the tax therefor, and I proceed to examine their powers under the 5th section to levy and collect a tax for fire-plugs. The language of this section, in the plainest terms, confers on the Water Board power to levy and collect, through the Water Registrar, an annual tar, which shall be due, &c. In the section immediately preceding they have followed the very words of the act of Congress, and levied a tax for the water mains, and it is difficult to understand why they have in this 5th section departed from that course. In so far as they have delegated the power to the Water Board to “levy” the tax authorized by the 2d section of the act of Congress of 3d of March, 1563, they have in my judgement entirely transcended their power, and the grant to the Water Board is void. The Councils must themselves by law impose or levy a tax, as they have done in the 4th section of the act of 20th June. They can- not delegate that power. This rule I take to be inflexibly fixed, that where a power to levy a tax is given it must be exercised by the per- son or body to whom it is given, and not by any agent or appointee of such person, or body corporate. In my opinion the Water Board has no power to levy the tax authorized by the 5th Section, act 20th June. Very respectfully, Jos. H. BRADLEY, Attorney, &c. 2ist August, 1964. s On motion of Mr. Semmes, the communica- tion was referred to the City Uouncils.
