and plat, showing the location OF the
line of said railwey 4sSm Centreville to &
point in the city OF Yankton west OF
Broadway, shows that such line of rail-
way does not touch, enter, or in any
manner run through the Yankton pack
ing compaDy's grounds
1t does not appear that the Dakota
Central railway company has required
of the cit; the right Of way through tho
Yankton packing company's grounds;
and the said railway company could not
legally require the city to furnish and
pay the sum OF twenty-four hundred
dollars for right of way through the
Yankton packing company's grounds,
unless by the terms of the contract
heretofore referred to, the city was
obligated to furnish such right of way.
The contract with the Dakota Central
railway company does not obligate the
/ city to furnish the right of way referred
to in the resolution under consideration
By virtue of the city charter and the
provisions Of the ordinance submitting
toe question Of bonding the CITY in aid
of the construction of a line of railway
from the town of Oentreville to and into
the city OF Yankton, it appears per.
fectly clear that,t bonds thus author.
lied, and the proceeds on q sale there.
of cannot be diverted from the object 10,
(which they were issued.
The procuring OF right OF way for the
Dakota Central railway company
through the grounds of the Yanktor
packing company, as specified in the
resolution il question, has no connec
ton with the. proposition and object o.
aiding in the construction of o line oil
railway from Centreville to and into the
cIty of Yankton, for which alone the
bonds thus voted and issued, and the
proceeds thereof, y be used; and the
appropriation of any Of SAID bonds, Of
the proceeds thereof. as contemplated
by the resolution under consideration
would be a diversion of 80 many
OF said bonds, or SO much Of thu
proceeds thereof, from the object foi
which said bonds were. issued, anG
would be q violation of the express pro
visions OF the charter and the ordipanc,
providing for the issue OF said bonds ant
also the ordinance providing for the sal,
thereof
All OF which is respectfully submitted
