and the oregon Short Line franchise
for q track on the east side Of Fourth

Hon Ezra Thompson, Mayor, Dear
Sir.-I hand you herewith the proposed
contract between Salt Lake City and
the canal companies. accompanied by
the petition of Angus NJ. Cannon, and
In response to your request for an opin-
ion as to the legality and form of the

already given you an opinion as TO
the legality Of this proposed contract,
81 am still of the opinion expressed
at the time, namely, that the contract
is Illegal and that the city may be en-
Joined from carrying out the contract

terprise.
