Il EFF. Bingham. City solicitor. made the
following report: So saf. Id ses5saseg
To the Honorable City oosneit of the City Of
Columbus:
4 In,sceordanee with the resoiatiori Of the
! Council. passed January 4, 1869. request
ling the City Solicitor to report what pow
er, il any, the City Council has to build a
bridge over the canal at tbe5 crossing of
Friend street, have given the subject that
careful attention which Its importance de-
lmands, and am of the opinion that the
City Council Of Columbus, being city OF
the second class, having over IA, 600 inhab-
Eitants at the last Federal census, is not au,
thorized to construct bridges over the ca.
nal within its corporate limits, lfor thesfol-
llowing reasons:
i First, Because the County Commission
ers are expressly authorized by, Jaw to
build such bridges (see Swan q Critehfeld.s
pages 245. 193, and Ohio Laws,vol; SO, page
Il l12l), and because no such authority has
been expressly conferred upon city OF
the class and population of Columbus.
s. Second.s The Legislature has in effect
construed this question, by the passage of
4 an act entitled an s'act to authorize cities
lof the second class therein named to Inn,
4 pose tax for. bridge purposes" passed
April 8. 1866 (Ohio Laws, vol. 63, page
l20). authorizing any city of the second
lclass,sehavingf aspopulation Of less than
| fourteen thousand at the last Federal CEN
1 Gus, &c, to levy a tax for the purpose of
and all bridge, structures necessary.
SC, 2 over H q j canal, navi2able1 OF
ietner stream, within its corporate
limits. And again by extending the,
tpr9visions of the act last named to
cities of the first class, raised TO thai grade
AIIril Is, 1867 (Ohio Laws, vol. "a. page
| l49, Columbus belonging to neither of
1.-THE two classes specified in ,said. acts,
II amfhware tbatsit may be cfaimed that
under the head of general legislative pow
er grated 10 the Council, and the duty Inn,
posed upon it by statute to open, improve
and keep in repair streets and alleys, that
1.-The authority is delegated to repair, or II
fnecessary To- cotietru ucs a bridge IN acase like
Y Etfe one under consideration, and that the
Icpst of the same could be discharged out OF
the fund raised for general city expenses.
1 This might be ageas0pable conservation II
Ithet Legislature had failed to grant power
hr1 b ~ on oafp inf m r0
Operation to build or repair bridges, but
having conferred this power upon the Com,
Imissioners, and, ppoa certain einess END
tgomltting certain Class Of cities in this del
i5egation of power, 1 can not believe that it
can be properly inferred that this power is
conferred by any provision OF the statnfe
/ granting general legislative power to the
fC0uDcil. l am of the opinion, therefore,
THAT as the law now is, that 1t Is the duty
f.the County lcQlstruct
the bridge in question, and II the present
Zone be in the dangerous condition repre-
sassn sas ssoa ssssass q fscs eo% on
| fit be desirable that the city build this
bridge, /! would suggest that application
be msdefor sufta leg klation to the GEN
| eralI Assembly now in session.
