an exhibit with their answer is in con-
formity with the general plan of the city
of Washington. They do not say that this
extension of Delaware avenue has been
established. 1t appears, to the contrary,
that 1t is merely tentative, and that the
respondents have no power to establish 1t
either under general order No. u or Under
the act of March g. 1893 The act of 1883
authorized and directed them to make and
publish general orders regulating the plat
ting and subdividing of all lands in the
District. Prior to that time the right of
the land owner to subdivide city squares
and lots as he pleased, and to have his
subdivision recorded by the surveyor, had
existed since January II, 1902 Rev. Stat.

for record had been recognized for many
years. The surveyors office contains many
such records The fncongruitieS and the
lack of harmony in adjacent Subdivisions,
the absence of general plan or order, es-
pecially as to those subdivisions that were
Just outlying the limits of the city, almost
incorporated within 1t, rendered necessary
general rules that in future would compel
order and conformity to the general plan
of the city of Washington.

Hence the act of August p, 1885, Con-
formity is made imperative by section of
that act. Any subdivision of suburban

general order, although ordered by the
Commissioners to beorecorded in the sur

and secure order, method, harmony and

upon the Commissioners to permit and
certainly none is given to compel the de-
parture of an extended avenue or street
from conformity to the general plan in
any instance. No power is given to locate
Of highways in that part Of the District
lying outside of the cities. No provision
for such system was mace by law until
the act Of March 2, 1893. Their authority
under the act of 1883 is solely to regulate
plating and subdividing by orders so
framed as to be applicable to all cases,

upon the REALTORS their compliance with an
additional eXacticn that the law does not
authorize and the court should not tolera tie
an exaction not more lawful nor more
1ustihabie than would be the demand that,
as condition to the record of the plat
the REALTORS should donate to the District
OF columbia a prescribed portion of their
land for the purposes of a contagious hos

petrated by an individual in behalf of pri-

BONDS PRONOUNCED VOID
Exhaustive Opinion on Validity OF
Silver City Railroad Bonds-Same
Reasoning Applies to Santa
Fe Bonds.

At the request of Mayor Fleming and
his associates in the city council, Mr..
Frank J. Wright, attorney for Silver
City, has prepared and published an ex-
ceptionally able and exhaustive opinion
touching the validity of the $4,000 in
bonds issued by the officers of Silver
City to the Silver City, Deming g. Pacific
Railroad company on November l, 1882,
under the presumed authority of spec
ial act of legislative assembly, approved
Feb. 10, 1882. The opinion occupies over
seven columns in the Silver City Enter
prise and is adverse to the bonds. It
stoutly main tains that the original issue
on bonds was void because it was e1-
pressly prohibited by an act of congress
approved June 8, 1873; that, quoting from
an opinion of the United States supreme
court exactly in point, eff the Legislature
was without power to authorize the issue
of these bonds, and its statute attempt
ing to confer such authority is void, the
mere payment of interest, which was
| equally unauthorized, can not create of
itself power to levy taxes, resting on
no other foundation than the fact that
they have once been illegally levied for
the purpose" that the subsequent fund
ing of the bonds wrought no change in
the premises, because, under the law and
decisions, the purchasers of the new bonds
wei bound to take notice of the conditions
written on their face, and, being void alb
initio, no act of the council, aided by
legislative funding process, or other con-
trivance or legerdemain known to the
law y could substitute, change, meta
morphose or convert them into valid
obligations.
The conclusions of the opinion are as
fellows:
First-That the town of Silver City has
no power to issue its bonds, payable by
taxation for any purpose, without con-
gressional authority.
Second-That the legislature has no
power to authorize the town of Silver
City to fund void obligation, or make
valid what higher law declares to be in
valid.
Third-That the town of Silver City
from any general power it may possess as
a municipal corporation, or upon author
ity granted by the legislature, can not
incur any legal debt or obligation, bonded
or otherwise, other than such as shall be
necessary to the administration of its in
ternal affairs.
"Finally, basing my conclusions upon
the law, and reasoning as above cited and
set forth, have the honor to report that
in my opinion, the $4,000 of outstanding
bonds of the town of Silver City, Grant
county, New Mexico, issued to refund q
like amount of former bonds of said town
issued to aid in the construction of rail
road between Silver City and Deming,
we're 80 issued without lawful authority,
and that their payment can not be
legally enforced against the town of Sill
yer City"
This opinion is of special interest to
the people of Santa Fe because the cir
cumstances surrounding the railroad
bond issue at Silver City are almost
identical with those surrounding the rail- |
road bond issues in Santa Fe county.
