The judement ig to this efiect : The rights given by a city government in the prblic dreéts to a corporation do not convey 'property' rights to, the company when the city becomes a pur chaver, This is to say a franchise is no pat of such 4 company's greets. By 1he decision the city is not hound to ray the company $30,000 for the fran hise, the amount the company claimel as the valve of its earning power, the franchise not expiring until 1911. There was no dispute gs to toc $170,173 allowed for the plant aw property. J In hig judgment upon this import ant question Chief Justice Moss in part says: . "Ihe company claing that the right whi bh ix ended by the aurernent is a franchise, and pass.d under the term 'property.' But it is manifest that the word is not used in its widest sense, and it was not the intention of | sither party that it should be so regqd Its meaning is restricted by the words whi'h recede it, as well as by those which follow. It was evidently not intended to comprehend everything the comp aay pos-e.axl, 'The so-called franchite is no more included in the word 'property' than the money in the bank or the Look debts or assets of a lite natvre lelonging to the opm pany, Iv is far from elear that the company parted with anvthing in the nature of 5 franchise which it would be of any valng to the city to se quire. The company could not, and did not, part with its corporate fran chise. The privilege of using the "thoets for the purpose of a business ended paturally with the ¢ purchase of property, and it was not neelful for the city to acquire either one or the other to enable it to carry on the business."' City Solicitor McIntyre was asked this morning what line of action he would advise the council to follow, in view of the decision of the court of appeal. His reply was : "HI the matter is not carried further hy the company, I will advise the city to act at once, and take over plant at the original award of the arbitra tors. If, however, the company ap peals further, and keeps the city out of possession of the works for any considerable length of time, 1 will, on behalf of the city, apply to the courts for a reference back to the arbitrators to write off a certain amount for de preciation "The depreciation of such a plant was the subject of a great difference of opinion during the recent arbitra- tion, and various estimates were giv- en by experts on both sides. No doubt, on such a reference back, a substantial sum would be written off the original award. To such an allow- ance for depreciation the city is justly entitled, "Under the assessment act, they city assessor for this year has assessed the company's plant at $170,000, the am- ount of the award. This has been done because it has been defined that the assessable value of such a plant is the aleable value. Upon the company's appeal to Judge Wilkison last month, the judge confirmed the company's as sessment at that figure, subject to the right of the company to reduce the amount by showing evidence of depre sation. Since the sitting of the judge | the company has tendered city a com promise, offering to allow the assess ment to stand at $125,000, "If this is the company's estimate Will Have Amount of Award Re- One of the most important decisions aad. 3% Bess tenae county council for 1903 opened Tuesday afternoon, all the councillors being iu attendance : BK.
