WHY 1T SHOULD DIE.

In attempting to defend the bill for O
water commission in this city, a MORN
ing contemporary unwittlngly offers a
potent argument against one OF It's
provisions That paper cites the fol-
lowing from the State Constitutions
mo municipal corporation shall dl-
rectly or indirectly, LEASE sen, alien or
dispose OF any Water-1ForkH, water
rights or sources of water supply now
or hereafter TO be- ownel or controlled
by Il, but all such wator-wOrks water
rights and sources OF whter supply now
owned or hereafter to be acquired by
any municipal corporation. shall be pre-
served. maintained and operated by Il
for supplying lis Inhabitants with water
at reasonable charges, provided, that
nothing herein contained shall be con-
strued to prevent any such municipal
corporation from exchanging water
rights. or sources of water supply. for
other water-rlghts or sources Of water
supply, Of equal value, and to be devot-
ed In like manner to the public supply
Of It's inhabitants"
But the bill introduced attempts to
give power and authority to the propos-
ed commission TO lease, sell and con-
vey real and personal property, as the
interest Of the city may require" the
commission being the body to deter
mine what these interests may appear
TO them TO be- and that is IN conflict
with the Constitution, as the "News'
pointed out several days ago. Further,
that provision Of the State Constitution
says that 'al such water-works, water
rights and sources Of water supply now
owned or hereafter TO be acquired shall
be preserved, maintained and operated
By It, etc These corporate rights are
vested In the city Council, and that
body must preserve, maintain and Cd.
crate those works, II cannot cons,ltu.
tionally be deprived OF them, nor turn
them over TO another body by what
ever name It may be called.
Apart from the danger that some
people foresee OF improper action by |
sueh pody the contention Is that the |
powers conferred by the bill are in con-
iiict with the inhibltions Of the Constl-
tuition, and therefore they should not
be bestowed by legislation. The prop.
erty and works TO be placed In the COM
plete control OF the commission. are
property and works to supply water to
the inhabitants Of the city, and these. |
u anything at all. are to be subject to |
sale or lease at the discretion OF the
board according to the bill. and that s
IN violation Of the quoted section Of the
constitution. Therefore the bin ought |
not to pass II for no other reasons, and
OF these there are plenty that might be
offered. Let the bin die
