City Can Appeal

THE city now" continued Judge
Maynard, knows that it cannot of
its own volition proceed ito create the
necessity for borrowing money to
conduct its regular business by con-
ts1 ing for plant. In other words,
ii cannot pay for the projected plant
out of its regular funds, and then
avail itself of the right to borrow
money to meet deficiencies in the con-
duct of its regular governmental de-
partments. Judge Littlejohn has di-
rectly enjoined it from doing the
very thing we claimed it was pro-
posed to do, the use of city money for
the plant to the detriment of the de-
partments and the subsequent bor-
rowing to make good the deficiencies
thus created.
"Of course the city can appeal the
case. 1t is up to the city and not up
to us to appeal. We are thoroughly
satisfied with the injunction that has
been granted, although We also desir-
ed that the judge pass on the point
of the pending suit and it's relation
to the case. This, however, was ig-
nored in the decision. We Offered
evidence for the plaintiffs to show
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-07-27

that the city could not build the plant
and carry on it's regular work with
out creating a deficiency which would
necessItate borrowing to meet its
ordinary obligations. The court must
have accepted our vie2 OF it or it
would not have enjoined the city from
doing this very thing.
'If the Representatives of the city
should now go ehead and build the
plant and thereby, y ind'rectior,
create the necessity for borrowing
money, no matter in what amount, ID
conduct it's regular business, these
officials would be violating The i'll
| junction granted Saturday and
would be liable for punishment for
contempt of court. Judge Littlejohn
clearly accepted our contention that
casual deficiencies, as explained by
the State Supreme Court, means those
brought about by accident or un-
preventeh.e .a1ses or Unforeseen con-
tingenc;es qnC that the city could moi
wilfully go ahead and create a def
cheney for other necessary expenses
and divert the money thus obtained
from other departments for this
plant"
Judge Maynard seemed especially
pleased that the views advanced by
him had received the approval of the
Court through the injunction now rest
ing on the city.
The next stages of the fight will be
awaited with interest. 1t is recog
ed that the injunction probably puts ;
different phase on the situation from
the standpoint of those interested il

TINSLEY AND POPE IN
Fight AT THE DEPOT
Officer and Visitor Have
Bloody Scrap.
Detail of Police Finally
Made Arrest--Pistols
Drawn But Not
Used.

When Police Officer w C. Tinsley
attempted to arrest Mr.. James Pope of
Albany at the Central Railway depot
yesterday a fierce and bloody fight
ensued in which both men were con-
siderably Worsted ere friends of the
latter managed to take him away
from the policeman.
Mr.. Pope resisted arrest, and in
attempting to take him anyway, the
fight resulted.
Pope offered to take a summons to
police court but refused to submit to
Arrest, and thus being brought to the
city prisoner.
After the two had rolled upon the
pavement for some time blows were
exchanged, officer Tinsley finally
striking Mr.. Pope blow upon
the head with his club. The wound
bled profusely throughout the fight
A citizen interfered in an attempt
to take Pope away, while officer
Tinsley called another here to assist
him in the arrest The attempt to
take Pope away was made to stop
the fight, no doubt
For five minutes the men struggled,
each striking blows upon the other,
although the officer used his club but
once
Mr.. Pope is much stronger, physi-
cally, than officer Tinsley and was
fast getting the best of the fight when
the latter drew his pistol to defend
himself but did not use it.
Mr.. Pope, surrounded by party
of friends, then proceeded uptown
At Forsyth and Jackson streets
they met Officers Redmond, Price and
Summerford, who with some Difficult
ty arrested Mr.. Pope and carried him
to the barracks.
His wounds were not found severe
when an examination was made. Off
Ger Tinsley, it is said, sustained a
fractured collar bone in falling upon
the granite coping. He was very
severely bruised up, and may be fore
ed to keep his bed several days, it is
thought.
A hundred people witnessed the
sanguinary encounter, which lasted
several minutes.
officer Tinsley did not draw his
pistol until near the end of the fight,
and until soma man il, tbo Dortv &c
yet unknown, had struck him several
blows. The difficulty created greatest
excitement among numbers of people
assembled at the depot
The case will probably be tried in
police court today.

Contempt of Court

Judge r. J.. Maynard and w. NJ
Harper, Esq, who represented the
plaintiffs, were highly pleased with
the injunction granted against the
city, They express the belief that the
city cannot make any effort toward
erecting a plant, as it's finances now
are, without violating the injunction
and rendering those engaged in the
plan liable to punishment for con
tempt of court
Naturally it was a pleasure to us
to have our view of the matter sus-
tanned by the Judge" said Judge May.
nard last night in discussing the de-
cision and the Injunction nnHer which
the city now labors.
We have neveY disputed the right
of the City to greet lighting plant
provided it had the money to do il
with, withouf mourning a debt be-
yond its legitimate capacity, directly
or indirectly" said judge Maynard
"Whe,.f-fhe city attorney was argu-
ing As to the right of the municipal
+ ~ to build and maintain a lighting
plant we cheerfulfy acceded to that
provided it had the funds in hand OF
in sight. There is ample authority
under the charter, just as Judge Lit
tlejohn declared in his decision, to do
this. But the basis of our petition
was that the city did not have the
funds to do this, that its purpose, as
announced by the eXponents of the
plan, was to create a casual deficien-
cy in the regular departmental opera
ton Of the city for which money
would have to be borrowed, and that
this purpose of creating a debt by in
direction was equally as unlawful as
/ the direct creation of debt for the
express purpose of building the plant
would be. Judge Littlejohn has sus-
tanned our position in this respect and
he has directly and positively enjoin-
ed the city from entering into any
contract which would result in Great
ing any debt upon the city or a def
cheney in the administration of its
Departments. 1t is a signal victory fol
the position we took in representing
the citizens who opposed the lightine
plant on this very ground.

Courtti who on Saturday handed down
his decision enjoining the city from
erecting a municipal lighting plant,
or entering into any contract for that
purpose, which would in any manner
result in creating debt upon the
city or a deficiency in the administra-

governmental departments of the
city.
