Santa Fe, Dec. g. 1898,
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1893-12-21

it is one OF series of seventy five
bonds OF like amount, tenor and date !;
and thus showing that the total issue
was seventy-fve thousand dollars, and
thus advising every holder or purcha-
ser of that fact.
Complainant here shows to the
Court that the time the proposition of
the c., @. d G. u. r. Co. was submitted
to the Mayor and Aldermen Of John
son City, and at the time the vote Of
the people was had thereon, and at the
time said seventy-fve bonds we're is
sued, the total value of all the taxable
property, real, personal, AMI mixed,
within the limits of the corporation OF
Johnson City, as shown by the last
regular State and County assessment
for taxes, and by the last tax books OF
said town, did not exceed, in the ag-
gregate, the sum of seven hundred
thousand dollars.
The issuance, therefore, Of said
seventy-five bonds OF 81 ,0CO each was
in excess of the authority conferred
by the Legislature, in pursuance oil
which said bonds claim to have been
issued, and are, therefore, void.
BY tne 9th section Of the Act last
mentioned, the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen was empowered to pass
upon the fairness of elections held
under the provisions of that chapter
and also to determine whether or NOT
three-fourths of all votes cast were in
favor of the subscription, but they
were not given the power to determine
whether or not the subscription OK
ceeded the aggregate value OF the tax.
able property within the corporation.
The last mentioned matter was one
which could be determined by an ex-
animation of the tax assessment books
of the county, which were subject to
the inspection by any one interested.
Complainant charges that the state
ment in the tace Of the bonds that
"all the provisions and requirements
of each said statutes Chapters 3 and
58 of Acts OF 1887 have been strictly
fulfilled and complied with" would
not make purchaser of the bond an
innocent holder, but in regard to the
matter of the bond issue being in ex-
cess Of one-tenth of the aggregate tax
able values, he was bound to look and
act Tor himself, for the reason that the
Legislature had expressly taken from
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1893-12-21

the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
the power to pass upon that question
in such way as to bind the tax pay
ers.
V. Complainant charges that De.
PENDANT railroad company has never
constructed or maintained its shop
inside the corporation of Johnson
City, as it contracted and agreed to o..
Said railroad is wholly insolvei
and unable to build shops. and /, VI
this reason there has been a failui "
of consideration for said bonds.
vi. Complainant shows that befores
the bonds in qut stion were issued, II -
defendant, c., CO G. R, r. C, :
agreed that the Board of Mayor ans
Aldermen of Johnson City should
have ten thousand dollars of the bonds
when issued held in escrow until
certain depot building on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railway was erected in said town.
Afterwards, by direction of the officers
and agents of said c., G. & ORR. Co.,
| Ave thousand dollars of said bonds
were turned over 10 defendant, E. r..
v. q G. Ry. Co., to aid in building
the depot last mentioned, and said
bonds are now held by said company.
or it's receivers. The other FIVE thous-
and dollars of the ten thousand dollars
in bonds above mentioned are now in
the hands of Fl. Fl. Carr, who holds
same as security for pre-existing
debt, or as the agent and attorney for
the c., @. & @. r. r. Co., or some OF
its officers.
Complainant is advised that none of
said bonds now held by said e. T., ".
4 G. BY. Co., or said FL. H. Carr. were
taken IN due course of trade, but are
liable TO any defenses complainant
could have made against them in the
hands OF said Charleston, Cincinnati
4 Chicago Railroad Company.
Complainant is advised that Defen-
dant Travellers Insurance Company
is an owner or holder OF a large amount
of said bonds.
Respondents Crandall, Hunter and
George are acting as Trustees of the
Sinking Fund for said G., @. &c
G. r. r. Co. bonds, and, if not enjoin-
ed, may pay out funds Of the town in
their hands for the purpose Of redeem
ing some of said bonds.
Complainant lie advised that all Of
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1893-12-21

ton were not recorded in the secretary
of states Office, as required by law, un-
til May %, 1890,-nearly thirty days
after the bonds in question had been
issued and delivered.
The Honorable Court will readily
see from these facts that the attempted
consolidation has not added to the
rights OF Defendant railroad company,
or its asslgnees; and has not aided to
validate said bonds.
But Complainant charges further
in this connection that the attempted
consolidation of the foreign and resi-
dent corporations of the same name,
was never perfected, and never be-
came operative or effectual, for the
reason that the consolidation articles
recorded in the secretary Of states
Office, do not show that o majority OF
the stockholders of the South Carolins
and North Carolina corporation had
approved OF the agreement of consoli-
dalton; nor has the evidence of said
stockholders approval been recorded
in the secretary of states Office; both
OF these things are required by law in
order to constitute valid consolida-
ton.
Complainant is further advised that
| If said attempted consolidation had
been legally contaminated at the time
the agreement was recorded IN the
secretary Of states Office, May 18th,
1890, that this would not validate bonds
that had been previously illegally
/ voted and issued to foreign corpora
ton.
Nv. Complainant shows unto your
Honor that under the provisions OF
chapter 8, of the Acts of 1887, che
power of the Board of Mayor and AL
dermen OF Johnson City was expressly
limited to an issuance of bonds TO An
amount not exceeding in the aggre-
gate one-tenth of it's taxable property.
This provision, Complainant is adj
vised, was not only condition prece-
dent, but was limitation upon the
power and authority of the municipal
authorities TO issue bonds, and refer
ence having been made in the face OF
said bonds to said act of the Legisla-
ture the holders or pur hasers OF said
bonds we're bound to take notice of
such limitation, and to purchase at
their risk. Each OF said one thousand
dollar bonds shows upon its face that
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1893-12-21

to be valid and operative, Complain
ant is advised that this Honorable
Court would give it construction
that would not render it inconsistent
with the general law, but would hold
that the act was passed with reference
to existing laws, and, therefore, con-
ferled no power upon the town to lend
its credit in aid of foreign corpora
ton chartered by other States.
Complainant shows further that
said Act gave no authority to Johnson
City to subscribe to the stock of rail-
road or other corporation, and if the
Act was free from all objections, the
bonds issued in payment for such
stock would be void for want OF au-
thority in the town to make subscrip-
ton.
9. Complainant shows unto your
Honor, that in the month OF Novem-
Der, 1889, a Tennessee corporation waa
chartered under the general laws OF
this State, under the name Of "Charles-
ton, Cincinnati & Chicago Railroad
Company, and the charter members
organized by electing J. 7. Wilder
president and Fl. H. Carr, secretary.
This Tennessee corporation afterwards
attempted to consolidate with the De
| fendant, Charleston, Cincinnati d
Chicago Railroad Company.
Complainant is not advised as to
what rights, if any, the D-f-ndant
railroad company, or its trahsferees
will claim in the bonds in dispute on
account OF said attempted consolida-
ton.
Complainant shows that the Ten
nessee corporation had nothing what
ever to do with voting or issuing said
bonds. 1t submitted no proposition
to the town of johnson City to become
subscriber to its capital stock, If il
ever had any stock.
1t had no general manager, or other
officer, except the nominal officers
already mentioned. The proposition
submitted to the town of Johnson City
and on which the bonds were issued
was made by the general manager o.
the North and South Carolina corpo
ration, and in lieu OF subscription
previously voted to the same company
March 25th, 1889, time long before
the Tennessee corporation had an ex
| istence.

A Mouth to Sui. All Characters

A dramatic artist named Lemahon,
better known under the assumed ap-
pellative of Paul Bonjour, had great
success as singer of comic songs
during the reign of Louis Philippe In
1s46 he had the courage to have all
his front teeth extracted and a variety
of false sets made to fit their place.
One of the sets gave him the physiog-
nomy of an ass; another made him
look like a monkey; when wearing
third he resembled goat, etc He
used to give a song on the pork butch
ers, with teeth that gave him the
exact appearance of pig. Many old
Parisians remember this original per-
former and the means he adopted to
amuse them.
