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.

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.
