It should be borne in mind that even Representative Papy is in favor of the pur- | j; chase should it be made under a contract | that conserves the city’s interest to the ut- | | most, but there are several provisions to ! which he objects in the present proposed contract. | For instance, if you ride in your own | automobile, you don’t pay a taxi cause the car belongs to you, yet the city, should the purchase be concluded, wouid own the company, subject to its indebtd: | edness, but would have to pay for the elec- } tricity it would use. And don’t overlook the fact that the owner of the car may still owe | several hundred dollars on it, so, in extend- ing the reasoning embodied in the contract, | he should pay fares to the man or the com- pany that holds the notes against his car Another apt illustration is that of a man who buys a home with a mortgage on it, and is required to pay rent to the mortz A representative of the fiscal agents, | who are handling the proposal, asserts that | they have a “binding” contract against the | city. Whether or not he should know that no contract is it conflicts with the laws, cons otherwise, of a state or the nation The state supreme court said explicit- iy about the ordinance, ‘through which the purchase was to have been made, “Mmsofar as it authorizes the to acquire trolling capital stock of the Key West Elec- tric Company,” tional prohibition against any county becoming a stockholder in any compan sociation or corporation So the city councilmen need not enter- ain any fears that they are hogtied by a contract.
