A question of municipal ownership ia
Involved in a decision handed down
Thursday by tho supreme court In the
case of Thotnas H. Baker against the
city of Carteravllte, and which upholds,
In a large measure, municipal owner
ship of important utilities.
Dr. Baker soQght to enjoin the city
of Cartersville from the issuance of
ft 0.0(10 In bonds, which were to be
used as follows: $25.0»0 for building
an electric light plant; $10,000 for Im
proving the waterworks, and 15,000 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, cither or both." His
contention was that the city lit Its
printed notice of the election did not
dearly sdt 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 citlscns electricity or gas
for homes and business houses. There
was no intention of furnishing power
for commercial use. Judge rite 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 llghs
In their humes and places of business.
Inasmuch as the city had been fur
nishing gas for such purposes tho In
ference must have been dear that a
continuance of tho custom would result
with added Improvements made with
the bond Issue.
The courts have held lime and again
that the vending of lights and water to
private consumers was but an Incident
In the supply of these elements for
strictly public use nnd within tho con
stitutional limitations. Further, the
charter of Cartersville expressly grants
this authority to the city.
Inasmuch ns the city disclaims any
purport' of embarking In a commercial
enterprise, nnd claims only to furnish
electricity and gus for lighting homes
and business houses, the Judge Old Hot
err In refusing an Injunction.

Foil LICENSE
Ordinance Will Hit
Several Fashionable -
Organizations.
An ordinance will be introduced into
council Monday making all clubs that
sell or distribute whisky or other in
toxicants pay a license of $300.
The tax committee decided Wednes
day to introduce an ordinance making
it prohibitory for all desiring to estab
lish clubs in the city, to apply to the
mayor for permission, and making all
who sell or distribute drinks pay a $300
license.
The clubs, especially the richer ones,
do not object much to the paying of
the license, but they fear that some of
ficial might take the license os a vir
tual admission that a saloon is being
operated at the club and thus enforce
the 10 o’clock closing hour.
