City Attorney Levy presented
his official opinion of the city's
right to enter into contract to pro-
vide good and wholesome meat for
our citizens, as follows:
Referring to the contract be-
tween the city and the San Anto-
tonic Cold Storage company and
the right of the city to make the
contract contemplated, it is my
opinion that the city can legally
enter into contract and can select
the place as union slaughter
house and compel all persons offer
ing meat for sale within the city
to slaughter animals at any place
that may be designated by the city
council.
at is a police regulation in the
interest Of the health of the citi-
zens of this city and it is now we'll
established by an unbroken line of
legal authorities that a city can
pass all laws necessary to the
health of it's Inhabitants"
This was filed.
His opinion in regard to widen
ing Of Houston street was read as
follows:
/ find on investigation that Judge
Callaghan has a direct interest in
a portion of the property on Hous-
ton street. 1t is my opinion, how
ever, that this does not disqualify
him from appointing commission
ers. The act Of appointing COM
missioners is a ministerial and not
a judicial one, and does not, in my
opinion, conflict with any consti-
tutional provision.
A map of subdivision by
Mrs. H. B. Adams, on South Flores
street, was presented and adopted.

cants to deposit small sum for
