Judge Grows Sarcastic

In disposing of that point. Judge Eli
son displayed a bit of judicial sarcasm
saying, genially:
Without following counsel through
the interesting argument on this point
] shall hold that the provisions of the
charter were complied with in this par
ticular: In that the board did solicit
offers to sell existing utilities To the
city before submitting the proposition
to the electors"
In the fore part of his decision
Judge Ellison stated the major propo-
sitions of the case, and then proceeded
10 take up each point. He briefly
states the case of the opponents and
proponents Of the right of the city to
issue the Geary street bonds and the
right Of Platt to bring the action in
Injunction. Platts right to appear is
supported on the ground that he is a
tax payer and that there is no proof
that the bonds are invalid. Were the
bonds illegal he would suffer no in
jury, as they could not issue, but ow-
ing TO their patent legality Platt. as
4 tax payer, would have to bear the
burden Of their expense along with
other tax pay srs. Several authorities
are quoted on that pOiut

Decision PIeases Mayor

Mayor p. H. Mccarthy and other Off
cials of the city government were
highly gratified by the successful out
come of the Geary street suit.
The mayor said:
"T> am highly elated, as every good
citizen of San Francisco ought to be,
over the successful outcome of the
Geary street injunction suit / never
had doubt, from the first, but that
the rights and powers of the city TO
construct the road would be vindi-
Gated.
Now we shall proceed with all pos
sible speed to give San Francisco a
modern electric road from the ferry to
the Cliff house. We must have money
to construct the road, and so we shall
take up the sale of the bonds immedi-
ately and proceed with the plans and
specifications.
THE decision suits me-but after
all. If the city has not the right to
build street railroad l would like to
have some one tell me what rights the
city has to manage its own affairs?'
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-17
All Points Considered

The court then proceeded to the con
sideration of the second main point II
issue, holding that:
Under the constitution of the stat
OF California the legislature has tn
power TO confer upon the city and
county of San Francisco, by charter
provision, authority to acquire street
railroads and to incur a bonded in
debtedness for their construction"
In taking up this point the court
held first:
"In the discussion of this PROPOSE
tiOn We are not concerned to INQUIRE
whether the constitution confers such
power upon the legislature, but rather.
the question must be, has such power
been Withdrawn from the legislature
by some provision of the constitution
If il has not, then il exists"
in support Of this point Ellison
quotes a decision by Justice Harrison
on the case Of in re MADEIRA irrigation
district 80 Cal. 307, in which it was
decided that the Legislature has the
right to all legislative acts not pro-
hibited by the constitution nor with
drawn by the people. in contradistinc-
tion TO the constitutional limitation OF

Long Is Gratifed


City Attorney Percy V. Long was
doubly gratified over the outcome, boil
on account of the victory won by the
city and the success of his office. Ht
gave to Assistant City Attorneys
Thomas r. Haven and John t. Nourst
full credit for the success of the de-
murrer.
He made the following statement OF
the case:
Under the import of the decision the
supervisors are now permitted to set {
date for the sale of the GeaFy stree
road bonds. The judicial sanction o.
| the right of the city to own and oper
ate the road was the one point tina
stood between the municipality and th'
construction of the Geary street line
which was authorized in January b,
more than a two-third vote of the elec
| torate.
In word, this decision is a judicia
charter to the city to be Independent
| of the public service corporations. l
will permit the preparation of plani
and the letting of contracts, so that tn,
people of this city may soon see mu
nicipal railroad in course of construc
tion.
While the decision of Judge Ellison
may be appealed TO the supreme court
we are confident of success there. Will
