United States Supreme Court
167 U.S. 224
United States v. American Bell Telephone Company
[Syllabus from pages 224-226 intentionally omitted]
On February 1, 1893, the United States filed in the circuit court of the United States in and for the district of Massachusetts a bill in equity against the American Bell Telephone Company and Emile Berliner, praying a decree to set aside and cancel patent No. 463,569, issued on November 17, 1891, to the telephone company, as assignee of Berliner. Upon amended pleadings and proofs the circuit court on January 3, 1895 (65 Fed. 86), entered a decree as prayed for. On appeal to the court of appeals for the First circuit, this decree was on May 18, 1895, reversed, and a decree entered directing a dismissal of the bill. 33 U.S. App. 236, 15 C. C. A. 569, and 68 Fed. 542. Thereupon the United States took an appeal to this court. A motion was made to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, which was denied (159 U.S. 548, 16 Sup. Ct. 69), and the case was argued upon the merits.
As stated by counsel for the appellant, four grounds for relief were presented and discussed in the circuit court. Those grounds are:
'(1) That the delay of the application in the office for thirteen years was, under the circumstances alleged in the bill, unlawful and fraudulent.
'(2) That a patent, issued November 2, 1880, upon a division of the original application, covers the same invention as that covered by the patent in suit, and exhausted the power of the commissioner as to that invention.
'(3) That the patent is not for the same invention which was described in the application as filed.
'(4) That, taking the application to date from the time when it was made by amendment to cover the invention described and claimed in the patent as issued, it was barred by public use for more than two years.'
By that court only the first two were considered, and the argument in the court of appeals was confined to those questions.
R. S. Taylor and Causten Browne, for appellant.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 227-237 intentionally omitted]
Frederick P. Fish and Joseph H. Choate, for appellees.
Mr. Justice BREWER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

Argued: Nov. 14, 1957. --- Decided: March 3, 1958
Mr. Justice WHITTAKER, with whom Mr. Justice BURTON joins, dissenting.
Though the tax involved in these appeals rests upon the same Michigan statute and generally the same legal principles as No. 26, United States v. City of Detroit, 355 U.S. 466, 78 S.Ct. 474, also decided today, the facts are sufficiently different to render this tax even more clearly unconstitutional than the one there sustained.
Here the Government did not even lease nor rent its plant. It simply entered into a contract with Continental providing that the latter would produce certain military supplies at a price equal to its cost, plus a fixed fee; that the work would be done in the Government's plant which was to be furnished without rent (and also that the Government would furnish certain other facilities, and might furnish certain materials, required to produce the supplies) and that Continental would not include in its 'cost' for the supplies any charge for the plant and other facilities and materials furnished by the Government.
Continental, thus, had no leasehold estate, tenancy, or other property interest in the plant; and the right to use the plant belonged to and was provided by the Government as a part of the facilities which, under the contract, it was to furnish for production of the supplies. It thus seems plain to us that the Government itself was actually using its plant in the full and only sense that the 'Government,' being an abstraction, can ever use its military plants. United States v. Allegheny County, 322 U.S. 174, 187-188, 64 S.Ct. 908, 915-916, 88 L.Ed. 1209. Therefore, Continental not only had no estate in this real estate to be taxed, but, moreover, it had no independent right of use of the Government's plant to be subjected to a use tax. We think it must follow, even under the majority's interpretation of the law which we believe to be erroneous-that the tax here imposed by the State, however it may be viewed, is a direct tax against the Government and is, hence, invalid.
For these reasons and also those stated in my dissenting opinion in No. 26, as well as those stated in my dissenting opinion in City of Detroit v. Murray Corporation, 355 U.S. 511, 475, 78 S.Ct. 462, 479, also decided today, I dissent, and would reverse the decision and judgment below.

## Dissenting Opinions

    Brennan
    Marshall
A New York village ordinance restricted land use to one-family dwellings, defining the word "family" to mean one or more persons related by blood, adoption, or marriage, or not more than two unrelated persons, living and cooking together as a single housekeeping unit and expressly excluding from the term lodging, boarding, fraternity, or multiple-dwelling houses. After the owners of a house in the village, who had leased it to six unrelated college students, were cited for violating the ordinance, this action was brought to have the ordinance declared unconstitutional as violative of equal protection and the rights of association, travel, and privacy. The District Court held the ordinance constitutional, and the Court of Appeals reversed. Held:
1. Economic and social legislation with respect to which the legislature has drawn lines in the exercise of its discretion, will be upheld if it is "reasonable, not arbitrary," and bears "a rational relationship to a [permissible] state objective," Reed v. Reed, 404 U.S. 71, 76, and here the ordinance—which is not aimed at transients and involves no procedural disparity inflicted on some but not on others or deprivation of any "fundamental" right—meets that constitutional standard and must be upheld as valid land-use legislation addressed to family needs. Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26. Pp. 7–9. [p2]
2. The fact that the named tenant appellees have vacated the house does not moot this case as the challenged ordinance continues to affect the value of the property. Pp. 9–10.
476 F.2d 806, reversed.
Douglas, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Burger, C.J., and Stewart, White, Blackmun, Powell, and Rehnquist, JJ., joined. Brennan, J., post, p. 10, and Marshall, J., post, p. 12, filed dissenting opinions.
Bernard E. Gegan argued the cause for appellants. With him on the brief was James J. von Oiste.
Lawrence G. Sager argued the cause for appellees. With him on the brief were Melvin L. Wulf and Burt Neuborne.
