Reinforcement Of Getting One Of Hang

Main Feature.

A top-spinning game, in which the
achievement of getting one of the
hanging balls into the top constitutes
the main feature, is shown In this H.
lustration. 1t is French invention
and consists of tray-like spinning
board, hollowed-out top, and three
balls hung in the manner universally
affected by pawn brokers.
The spinning board rests upon a
central base, so arranged that the
board can be made to swing in any
direction or be inclined to any de-
sired degree, says the Popular Me-

Street Lights for Franchise.

Before the lighting issue is fl nally settled, the city of New port must have street lights. This cry will not down.. The resident. and tax payers want street lights and believe that the city should provide them. There are too many smaller places that have electric light street service with out liquor license revenue and Newport cannot afford to stay dark.
 A franchise in this city ought to be worth something, and reason able number of high power Tung- sten lights for free street service ought to be insisted upon in the granting of any franchise. This IS the view of a large majority of our citizens and we believe of the members of the council. The private consumer must be pro- tected too in the rate he is to pay but first of all, the city should have a reasonable street service as basis of exchange in the granting of a franchise.
 Let the city have a reasonable number of free street lights, then as her finances pick up, a more extended service can be purchas- ed at a rate provided in the fran chise agreement.

The question, therefore, to be deter
mined is, How has the power to build
water works been restricted by the
several provisions of our constitu-
ton and statutes?
Section lSs OF the Constitution reads
as follows: 80 ANY incorpor-
ated city may become indebted in
any amount. not exceeding per
centum, ON such assessed value, with
out regard to the existing Indebtedness
OF such city, for the purpose OF con-
structing or purchasing water works
for furnishing q supply Of water to the
Inhabitants OF such city, or for the
purpose Of constructing sewers, and
for no other purpose whatever" The
constitution by this provision simply
recognizes the inherent power OF the
city to build such water works and
restricts the amount for which the
city can become indebted In doing the
same. Like power is given by statute
section AZ, chapter So. Laws 1905.
Does article IS of chapter 60 OF
the laws OF 1908 further subtract from
the inherent power OF the city or fur
nish guide by which the council shall
In any manner be controlled in the
construction OF q water works pIant7
To answer this question 1t viii be
proper to observe that article is ID a
part Of chapter 90, which has been
adopted By the legislature OF that ses-
sion, and which consists Of twenty-one

tons of which have been, for conven-

to I94, inclusive, it being specifically
stated that the provisions Of the act,
30 far as the same are existing stat
utes. must be construed as continue
atoms thereof and not ais new enact
msnta.
It ID very clear that In preparing this
charter several matters under c0n-
sideration were classified and put into
different articles: as. for example.

order to make the progress that we
ought to make along this line, there
should be in each county where the

CITIES HAVE Pc
cuLIAR NEEDS


Large and dense collections of
human beings, occupying lin
tied area, have needs peculiar to
themselves. Modes OF life; modes
OF thought; conceptions of rights
and OF duties. and the essential
conditions OF existence precede
constitutions. whose chief value
Is TO give organic security to such
antecedent and existing conditions
and rights as are deemed to be
vital and fundamental. accord
ingly the constitutions of the
American states recognise the
existence and contemplate the
continuance OF Incorporated COM
nunities and that they shall en-
joy. In accordance with immemor-

eminent, and 1t is fair infer
ence, even in the absence of spec-
la provisions, that their properly
rights and rights Of a peculiarly
character are within the protection
Of important provisions OF state
and federal constitutions. Con-
stitlItions are not to be interpreted
alone by their words abstractly
considered. but by their words
read in the light of conditions
and necessities In which the pro-
visions originated, and In view Of
the purposes sought to be attained
and secured. Constitutions are
devised, not so much to create
rights as to guarantee and secure
the enjoyment of those which are
considered primordial and inde-
structible."-I Dillon, on NUM-
cipal Corporations. (4th ed.) 4.
