IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Decisions Handed Down of Interest
to Many Cities and Viii

STATE COURT FINDINGS SUSTAINED.
Contentious of water Companies
that Ordinances Adopted Under
the Law OF 1872, and Subsequent
Acts, were Binding for Thirty
Years are Knocked Out.

Washington, March 25.-Tn the Unit.
ed states supreme court opinions were
handed down in several cases involv.
ing the construction Of the state law
OF Illinois authorizing cities and vii.
lagos TO contract for water and water
works. The cases decided affect the
water systems of Freeport, Danville
and Rogers Park in that state. The
water compenies in each case con.
tended that the law OF 1872 and 9th.
err subsequent acts authorizing town
and city authorities to contract for 4
water supply for 30 years included the
right to fix rates for that time, and
that the rate once fixed could not
he changed. They argued that ordi.
inances fixing rates were in the ma.
ture of contracts for the term of &c
years. In the case OF the Freeport
company the rate of SIS for each fire
hydrant was first fixed by ordinance,
but il was reduced by a subsequent
ordinance to $50. The water com.
pany attacked the validity of this
ordinance and took the case into the
state supreme courts. The Illinois
supreme court decided against the
company, holding the ordinance re.
ducing the price of water to be valid
The opinion sustained the finding OF
the state court. Justice McKenna, in
handing down the opinion, said the
state statutes were ambiguous. but
that il has been thought advisable to
decided that ambiguity in the inter.
est OF the public. A dissenting opin.
ion was handed down by Justice
White on the ground that the first
ordinance was contract. In this !
opinion Justices Brewer,
Brown and White concurred. The
opinions in all the other cases were
on similar lines.
