CANAL SCHEME VETOED
Modified Proposition is Objected
to by the Mayor on Legal
Grounds.

Mayor Thompson's veto Of the modified
proposition lCquiesced in by the city
! council to permit the Utah & Salt Lake,
South Jordan and East Jordan Canal
companies 10 share IN the citys appro-
priated right to raise and lower the level
of Utah lake and to increase the river
flow by installing a pumping plant at the
lake outlet. was fled yesterday with Re
the council for consideration Wednesday
evening
In addition to the reasons mentioned
in tie first Veto the mayor cites as a
weighty objection TO the proposition, with
the North Jordan Canal company out of
II. that the cost Of The pumping plant,
$4,000 would be correspondent greater
and altogether too much for the city TO
risk ON such an experiment
But the second veto IS based almost en-
tirely upon an opinion from City Attor-
ney Nye, who holds that the municipal
itV cannot legally join in the proposed
compact with the three canal companies.
After quoting the provisions of the state
ing of municipal or public credit IN aid of
any undertaking by private corporation
IS forbidden, the city attorneys opinion
states:
1T has been confessed from the very
inception of the idea Of esta blishing a
pumping plant 10 be owned jointly by
the city and canal companies that unless
the city came TO the rescue, the people
canal companies would be left TO perish;
and the city mas been urged to be liberal.
TO extend a helping hand, to not exact
the last farthing. and to lend its credit
to the enterprise, showing that the very
evil prohibited by the constitution IS
proposed under the popular guise of
philanthropy. No doubt inherent gener-
Osity has prompted the individual mem
hers OF the council In the action taken.
out unfortunately the law forbids the
use of public funds in the manner pro-
posed
''The section of the constitution referred
to not only prohibits a business partner
ship, which carried the idea OF a joint or
undivided interest, but fl goes further
and prohibits a municipality from being
the owner of part Of a property which is
pOratiOn or individual. The Municipality
must be the sole owner and controller of
the property in which IL invests its pub
lie funds. A union of public and private
funds OF credit. each I'm aid OF the other.
is forbidden by the constitution. There
can be no union of public and private
funds or credit. nor Of that which is pro-
duced by such funds or credit. The whole
ownership and control must be I'm the
public.
IAN agreement TO give the city the
management or the enuire plant and It's
operation when constructed. would not
cure the evil because a lease Of the in
terests of the canal companies would
have to be first obtained upon such terms
as might be agreed upon. and that would
preclude the operation of the works by
the city as sole proprietor.
The city has no power TO enter into
the contract proposed by the resolution
of April S, and the resolution should not
pass"
