JACKSON, August 5, 1873.

JACKSON, August 5, 1873.
DEAR SIR: have examined the question
submitted by your letter of this date, with
the wish to answer it affirmatively.
Nv opinion is that Section IA of Article
II of the Constitution does not prohibit the
Legislature from authorizing the city by
its Mayor and Aldermen to become Stock
holder in, or to loan its credit To Il company
for the purpose indicated in your letter, pro-
vdtd twO-thirds of the qualified voters of
Jackson sanction it in the manner per-
Scrbed by Section Il.
But can find no Act of the Legislature
granting that authority TO the city or its
corporate authorities. 1t does not come
within any OF the powers contained in the
Charter or amendments thereto. The city
being municipal aud not . trading cOrpo-
ration like railroads, ETC., and the loaa not
being necessary for municipal purposes,
the authority to make it cannot be implied.
The authority is not given by the Act of
April 18th 1873, or the amendment of April
2, 1874, They only authorize bonds and
scrip for past debts and the general expenses
of the city.
To accomplish the end proposed, there
fore think thai it will be necessary; first,
to get an act of the Legislature in accord
ance with Section IA, Article IL of the Con-
stitution; second, by an election to get
two-thirds vote in favor of the proposed
loan.
