A question of municipal ownership Is involved in a decision handed down Thursday hy the supreme court In the case of'* Thomas H. Baker against the city of Cartersville, and which upholds, In a large measure, municipal owner ship of Important utilities. Dr. Baker sought to enjoin the city of Cartersville from the Issuance of $40,000 in bonds, which were to be used as follows: $25,000 for building nn electric light plant; $10,000 for im proving the waterworks, and $5,000 for improving the gas plant. Dr. Baker also sought to enjoin the city "from embarking on the enter prise of manufacture and sale of elec tricity and gas, either or'both." His contention was that the city in its printed notice of the election did not clearly set forth to the voters the plan to furnish electricity and gas for com mercial purposes. / In reply the city denied any inten tion of entering Into "a commercial en terprise.” and the purpose was simply to furnish citizens electricity or gas for homes and business houses. There was no Intention of furnishing power for commercial use. Judge Kite re fused an interlocutory* Injunction, and the petitioner excepted. City Has the Right. In upholding this decision the su preme court points out that the con trolling question is whether the city had the right to furnish citizens lighs in their homes and places of business. Inasmuch as the city had been fur nishing gas for such, purposes the in ference must have been cledr that a continuance of the custom would result with added Improvements made with the bond Issue. The courts have held time and again that the vending of lights nnd water to private consumers was but an Incident in the supply of these elements for strictly public use aud within the con stitutional limitations. Further, the charter of Cartersville expressly grants this authority to the city. inasmuch as the city disclaims any purpose of embarking In u commercial enterprise, and claims only* to furnish electricity and gus for lighting homes and business houses, the Judge did not err in refusing an Injunction.
