IS ELLERT'S VETO LEGAL
Arguments in the Water Suit Before
the Supreme Court.

The question of the power of the Board
Of Supervisors &c fix water rates without
the approval of the Mayor was argued be-
fore the Supreme Court in bank Yesterday
in the case of Julius Jacobs VS.. the Board
Of Supervisors.
The matter was brought UP on appeal
from Judge CARRIERS decision that the
Mayors veto of the Rogers water or
dinance would have to be acted upon.
Attorneys John CARRIER and Z. S. Pills
bury represented the Board of Supsrvls-
ors. while attorneys Robert Mitchell. W.
NJ. Pierce and Arthur Rodgers repre-
sented the Mayor.
The argument was begun by ATTORNEY
CARRIER, who claimed that the Supervisors
should nx water rates in the manner pre-
scrlbed by statute, and that their work in
this connection is not subject to any re-
view by Mayor Ebert. In support of this
cohtention counsel cited authorities to
show that the giving of corporate body
power to do anything gives that powe. to
a majority of the body.
Attorney William NJ. Pierson argued in
reply to CARRIER that the matter was an
assault on the rights of the people The
supervisors had passed an ordinance
which was vetoed by the Mayor The
Supervisors had then refused to take any
action on the veto. Tho whole matter
came under the provisions of the consoli.
datinn act, which gave the Mayor full
power to approve or disapprove al
measures where public money was 10 be
expended. The Mayor was part of the
governing power, and that power could
regulate water rates every year.
Z. S. Pillsbury spoke briefly in reply
and the matter was taken under advise
meut.
