Between Tho City ana the Water"

An Opinion at to Its Validity and Elfect,
And Authority Cited, From a
Well-Known Attorney.
IHIO.r fun Aiilnnlo I. lain.
Han- Amiimii, Texas, Noveiutn r lIMh,
1S8S. Having been requested by you to
exsmlno tho contract between tho city
of Sun Antonio and the Water-Work
Company (so called) and to givo you au
opinion as to Its allillty, and Its binding
elfect upon the city, mid also. If In my
opinion thn contract Is nut binding, then
what remedy the city or the lax-pavers
have to dispose of It, 1 submit the fol
lowing as the ri'iilt of my examination
of j our question:
'lhat pirt of the contract made on the
part of tho city contains the following
provisions ami agreements, vIe:
Third "The s-ild oily further obli
gates Itself not to grant to any other
body of men, or person, during Ihe eon
tlnitaneo of this contract, the right to
furnish water fns lire hydrants or other
public purposes."
On the Mlh day or .limitary. A. 1).
laSI, the original contract wiisumi iided,
among oilier things, ns follows:
1. "From and after the first day of
January, 1S31, the said city or San An
tonio shall pay for the use of the one
hundred Urn hydrants which nre now es
tablished In accordance with the direc
tions of the City Council, nn nniiiml
rent orSM fnrem-li of fnld In ilriinls In
stead of $IUU as In the n'oresaiil oriel
nnl uontract prowiled. Anil In eonshl
erallon of tills reduction of the rent of
said one hundred tire hyi)riiiiis, the onld
city of San Antonio rvleasi s and n
lliiqulnhes the pu incut of the rent re.
served, to-wll: The .inn of live hun
dred dollurs per milium lor the iiseut t:i
property leased to the Waler-WorUs
Company In anil h said nnntmct. And
the said city, for the i-nnslileriition afore
said, rurlher remits and ri-llnqut.hrs to
Ihe Water-Worksl oninin all Ity taxes
whatever whli h might otherwise he as
sessed and levied upon nnvoftlu- prop
erly of the Wnter-Wnras Company, and
owned or held by said Coiupanv lor the
purpose of opcruilng their works; such
property, however, not lo exceed In
vnluc the sum of two hundred and lllly
thousand dollars; so Hint said Wnter
Works Cunipatiy shall be dlsclmrgi d
from the ptivment ol all city taxes dur
ing the continuance of the original con
tract aforesaid by the teriLS thcriof."
Section S. "In all other respects the
contract aroresnld shall lie nnd remain
In full forco and effect as the same na
originally cniercd Into between Ihe said
parties."
In the examination of the Contract two
leading questions suggest themselves,
to-wlt;
Is not the Con I nut against public
policy? nnd, second, Is It not unconsti
tutional; If the contract Is against public
policy. It Is void; If it Is unconstitu
tional It Is void; If It creates n monop
oly It Is unconstitutional, and it Is nlo
unconstitutional, If It exempts from tax
ation property not exempted by the
Constitution or this State from taxation.
Section 6C, Article III of the Consti
tution provides that "The Legislature
shall not, except ns otherwise provided
In Ibis Constitution, pass anv local or
special law, authorizing 'rlxempting
property from taxation."
Section 1. Article VIII.. provides that
"taxation shall be equal and uniform.
At.t. i-iioi-r.urv In this State, whether
owned by natural persons or corpora
tions, other than municipal, sham, he
taxeii In proportion to I a value, which
shall bo ascertained ns may be protldrd
by law."
Section 2, of tho same Article, among
other things provides ns follows: "Hut
the Legislature niav, by general laws,
exempt from taxation public properly
used for public purposes; actual places
or religious worship; pla es orburlal not
held for private or corporate profit; all
imiiumgs useu exclusively and owned
i' persons or associations of nersons for
school numoses (anil Ihe necessarr fur
niture of all schools), and Institutions or
purciv puuuo cnnriiy; ntnl all laws ex
emptlnc property from taxation, othe:
man tne property above mentioned,
i rom tho abuve nrovislims It nonpar
that the city could not itr.int nn exemp
tion from taxation to the Company, on
any pretence wnaiever, anu tunc any
such provision would Invalidate the con
tract. Anu tne latt mat the contract
protessedly makes tho exemption a part
or the consideration for n favorable
change In tho uontract, would avail noth
ing.
Does the contract create a monnnolv f
If so, the contract Is void.
Section 2ii. Article I. Illlll of Illclilsl
provides that "perpetuities and monopo
lies nre contrary to ine genius ol a tree
government, and shall never be allow ed."
iy reierriug back to thti tinril section
of the agreement of Ihe city with thn
lyumpiny, it was expressly ngreeu ny
the city lhat It would nut grant to anv
other body or men. or person, during tho
continuance or tne oontrnct, the right to
furnish water for lire hydrants or other
pumiu purposes.
Does that nrnvlslon create a inonon-
oiyr i lie word "monopoly is uetineit

Kalamazoo, In 2:1 rd Mich, n.illl Is u very
strong one, and to the point. That grew
out of a contract between Gale nnd the
village by which tiale agreed to put up
a building to ho used for a market,
which the village authorities agreed to
take of hlui for the term of 10 years, and
for the considerations therein epecllied,
rurlher agreed "Hi it during the continu
ance of this cnntinct there shall be no
other puhllu market-house In said vil
lage, provided said market-bonne shall
prove large enough lo accommodate the
public for Ihe purposes nrorc.ulilunil the
said President and trustees do further
greo that the sale of all articles ahovo
specified within the corporate limits of
said village shall be confined to said
market-house, or on the ground specified

Judge T. M. Coolev delivered the
opinion of the Court, and In closing on
mis orancu 01 tne suoject useu tuis ior

.Mr. u. nooker-on, uut took in tbo con
versation). Mr. A I have Just come from 81m
Hart's and I really feel that I have saved
considerably more than double my ex
penses this year, as 1 have priced all over
the city, and, as usual, struck the best
bargains tbero in cigar and tobacco that
I could find anywhere.
Mr. II Well, 1 am astonished! Had
no Idea you would patronize that estab
lishment. The house, I think, has been
a positive Injury to tbe trade here, lie
fore they started we could easily get
"big iirollts," and there wa a chance for
all. Now they want to monopolize the
trade by underselling everybody else,
nnd I never go there, as I buy my good
on credit.
Mr. A Well! I am more astonished at
your Ignorance than you are at my pur
chases. Why, tbe best In tbo land buy
there, and we all feel that poor people
can smoke the best for the least money,
while those who posses more of "the
world's goods" can buy ror less than
they ever did. I never Hop to Inquire
from what source they get their goods
as I Judge of the quality Tor myself, and
1 know that I save from 43 to CO per
don't want to
either of you, but when myself and boy
do any smoking, we alway go where
we get tne oest ior me lease money. 1
never care for "bogus advertisement,"
'spurts," and assertions, that I can save
at leait 100 per cent. We buy with con-
uumce irom mm. nan. i nave been
raised bere and havo done business with
Sim. Hart for seven years, and can not
recall a single instance In which I could
have bettered myself by buying else-
