ATLANTA'S PROPOSITION.
DAILY ENQUIRER -SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16. 1877.
IT, LEGALITY QUESTIONED—SHE CANNOT
COMPLY WITH DEB FBOPOBITION AS IT
NOW STANDS.
Editors' Enguirer-tiun . —Certain pa«
pers in the State are keeping constantly
before the people, Atlanta’s great propo
sition to give the State of Oeorgia land,
and on it build her a capital. Not con
tent with this paid or gratuitous adver
tisement, they seek, and publish opinions
from legal gentlemen upon the snbjoot.
In a reeent oopy of the Constitution is an
artiole from the pen of that able law
yer, Col. Porter Ingram, on this subject.
Now, we do not take issne with Ool. In
gram. We admit that the City of Atlan
ta oan do everything permitted her by
that olause of the new Constitution, which
reads as follows : “If any municipal cor
poration shall offer to the State any
property for looating or building a Capi
tol, and the State accepts said offer, the
corporation may oomply with suoh offer.”
This olause gives the power to the mu
nicipality of Atlanta or any other in the
State, but the seotion from which it is ta
ken says that the authority by which the
municipality appropriates money must
be delegated by the General Assembly.
If the City of Atlanta had made a propo
sition she oould not raise one dollar with
out authority from the General Assembly,
prescribing the mode of raising the
money and delegating through charter
privilege her right so to do; moreover, it
would require an act of the General As
sembly, as representing the State, to no-
oept the city’s offer. The obarter of At
lanta, as it now stands, oonfers no power
on its City Council to give away the pub
lie property, nor any power to tax the
people at large to raise money to give
away. See charter 1874, page 110.
The present Constitution does not give
the City Council, and not even the oity,
this right; yet the proposition is paraded
before the public and intelligent men ace
asked to vote on it. “The Mayor and
Council of Atlanta repeat and declare that
Atlanta will givu ten aareB of land and two
hundred thousand dollars to Georgia!
The same number of men in Columbus
oould make the same proposition and in
law it would be just about as binding.
If this Mayor and Council were to pass
another ordinance levying a tax to raise
the money it would not be worth soy
more than their present proposition, i. e.
the paper it was written on. Any oitizen
tax-payer oould stop them in an hour by a
writ of injunction, which the Superior
Court could not, and would not refuse.
A careful reading of Col. Ingram's opin
ion will show that that astute lawyer says
“upon any fair construction of that olause
in the Constitution, I think no court
oould hesitate to hold that the oity of At
lanta can both donate land and build a
Capitol.” Two things are neoessary be
fore any oourt would be called upon to
pass on that question. First, the new
Constitution must be in force; seoond,
the city of Atlanta must make the prop
osition. Neither of these things have
been done, nor oan they be done until af
ter the election, if then. The question
of the location of the Capital will have
been settled by a vote of the people long
before either of these conditions could
arise. Where, then, is the voter to be
oaught by this gilded, high-sound
ing advertisement of the Mayor
and Counoil of Atlanta? But sup
pose the new Constitution is in foroe
and the City of Atlanta, by a unanimous
vote of its tax-payors, offered to build
Georgia a capitol; even then it would be
questionable whether or not she had the
right to make the offer or oarry out the
proposition. The oourts have been very
strict in their construction of all laws
granting taxable powers to municipal
corporations. Borne weeks ago was pub
lished in your paper a “brief ” upon this
subject, in whioh the following establish
ed principles were given and baoked by
cited authorities:
1. Municipal governments, especially
town governments, are very strictly lim
ited in their power, and oan do no aot,
and oontraot no debt and raise taxes for
no purpose not duly authorized by chur
ter.
2. Town governments are mere trustees
and have no power to apply town taxes
and town lands to any uses but the striot
use of all the inhabitants.
3. The Btnte itself has no power to
grant power to a oity council to give
away the public property nor any power
to tax the people at large to raise money
to give away. Private property cannot
be taken by taxes or any other means for
private use, nor even publio use without
being first paid for.
Any one desiring enlightenment upon
these propositions is oited to the follow
ing:
D. S. Supreme Court in case of Citizens'
Saving and Loan Association of Cleveland
vs. City of Topeka—No. 729, Ootober
term 1874. Two Cent. Law Journal 15(1,
Aloott vs. Supervisors 10, Vol. 089.
People vs. Salem 20, Mich. B. 482;
Jaokson vs. Andover 103, Mass. 94: Dil
lon vs. Municipal Corporation, See. 587.
Cooley on Constitutional Limitations,
pages—129, 175, 487, 479.
Lowell vs. City of Boston—American
Law Bev. July 1873. Jenkins vs.
Andover 103, Mass. Kep. 74.
The question then of the location of
of the Capital is one of dollars and
centB to the tax payers of Geor
gia. In last Tuesday’s issue of your
paper appeared some figures showing the
difference in oost to the State for the
government, nine years in Atlanta, nine
years in Milledgeville. That difference
was seven million Jive hundred and twen
ty-four thousand five hundred and six dol
lars. Let the voters “put this in their
pipes and smoke it.”
Again, eleven thousand dollars, by esti
mates made, will make new the capitol
in Milledgeville, inside and out. Two
thousand will do the same for the Execu
tive Mansion. Seven thousand is a
large margin for cost of removal. This
is a total of $20,000. If Atlanta retains
the oapitol the State will have to give
away the State Uonse in Milledgeville,
nor can she use the “Opperry House” (as
the Widow Bedott culls it) in Atlanta.
That is too shaky. A new building will
have to be erected, and if a new oapito 1
building is ever started in Atlanta nobody
can say what it will oost or when* the
Legislature will get through donating to it.
Suppose, however, it takes only two hun
dred thousand dollars. Hero,then,is twenty
thousand against two hundred thousand
—Milledgeville vs. Atlanta. Tax payers,
young mon (who will soon be tax payers),
colored people (you who are working
hard and accumulating property), all of
you, “put this in your pipeB and smoke

—ltev. Mr. Nall, brother of Rev. Dr.
Null of Columbus, has resigned, or will
resign, the pastorate of the Presbyterian
church in Grifila. This leaves the Bap
tist, Presbyterian, Episcopal and Chris
tian oburohes of that place without pas
tors. A gentleman who spent a summer
in Griffin reports the cause to be the fail
ure of the churches to pay salaries.
The Sand Pear—Wonderful Produc
tion.—Says the Thomasville Fair Bulle
tin: This is a species of fruit whioh will
at an early day claim a large share of the
attention of horticulturists in this section
It is a fruit of exquisite flavor, remark
able for its being less subject to injury
from bugs, worms or other insects, than
any other fruit grown here. The tree is
remarkably hardy and of rather rapid
growth. It is less liable to injury from
oold or frost than any other fruit tree.
The yield is almost beyond belief. It
begins to bear at about four years, aud
when between seven and ten years old
frequently produces from fifteen to twen
ty bushels of fruit to the tree. Ten
bushels to the tree at this age is eon
sidered an ordinary yield. These pears
sold this year in the market at ten dol
lars per bushel. These facts can be sub
stantiated by affidavit, from a dozen or
more of as reliable men as there are in
the oounty. Now let’s figure a little on
them. One hundred of these trees oan
be planted with ease on an aore of ground.
The ordinary yield of these trees would
be ten bushels to the tree, or one thous
and bushels of fruit to the aore. As
we have already stated, this fruit brought
in the market this season ten dollars per
buRbel. It was sold at this priee by Mr.
L. L. Varnadoe, of this oounty. Let’s
put the prioe at just half this sum, and
for tbe ordinary and almost certain yield
on one aore we would get five thousand
dollars.
