INJUNCTION
DENIED
BYCOUR 7

The decision OF the justice OF the su-
preme court. wha heard the petition or
Theodore s. Barnsr ct al for tempor-
ary injunction In the equity suit brought
against N. Roy 4 Son is that the In
junction cannot be granted. A lengthy re-
view or the facts and law in the case Is
made by the Justice and filed In the
clerks office OF the appellate division.
1t is stated in complainants bill that
they entered IN July. 1909, into contract
with the City or Providence by which In
consideration or The payment OF $500 a
year they were 10 have the exclusive
right 10 remove dead animals IN SAID city
Tor ten years. Notwiths tanding this con-
tract was In full force the respondents
did remove over certain highways I'm this
city animals that had died here. IL was
asked that the respondents be enJolned
from so doing.
The respondents contend that under an
sct passed by the January session OF the
General Assembly IL IL provided that the
owner OF any dead animal may sell the
carcas to any one he pleasee and said
purchasers shall have the right TO remove
the same through the streets OF any
city or town in a proper manner. Com
piainants say that this law Is In conflict
with sec 10 OF article ] OF the constitu-
tion OF the United States which provides
that no state shall pass any law I'M
pairing the objections or contract and or
the state constitution which provides
that mo expost facto law or law impair
ing the obligation OF contracts shall be
passed
The result OF tho Investigations made
by the court hearing complainants mo-
ton Is that the matter falls within the
provision OF the police power of the
state and that the Legislature cannot by
contract with an Individual or corpora
ton. restrain, diminish or surrender It's
power 90 enact laws for the preservation
OF the public health or the protection or
the public morals. Therefore the case Is
not one OF those I'm which the contract Is
held superior TO the law. Many eases are
referred TO in the decision. To hold as
the complainant argues would be, the
court thinks, TO allow the city and the
complainants by entering into an agree
nent between themselves 10 withdraw
the subject from the reach Of the police
power and to- Substitute their views or
the public necessities for those OF the
legislature.
