BRUNSWICK, - GEORGIA:
Saturday kodxino, mat ti.ifw.
THE tTAUHBOFTHE I'KOPW-
Ooorgt Btroot, th« Mayor anti Coun
cil and the Macon and Urunw
wick Uallroad Company.
Hr. Editor: I noticed while looking
over tho column* of joitr valuable pa
per that the Mayor and Council had
gran tod to' the Maooh A Brunswick
Railroad Company permission to
chango the route by which they reach 10 BraaUog charters to municipal and
lion depends, solely, npnn the legal
construction that should lie given in
this forty-third section. Tbu individ
ual, whoever be may be, who drafted
this section, evidently intended to
protect the people of Brunswick
against the insatiable rapacity of rail
road corporations; and the only qi
lion to be determined is—docs the
language used by him aeooiuplisb this
great and good purpose t To settle
this question, it is only necessary to
apply the rules laid down by the courts
for the legal construction t» bo given
the langnago used by the Legislature
Bay street, by leaving Cochran Ave-
uuo at the intersection of George
street, and placing their track on and
along George street to its intersection
with Bay street. I was indeed very
much surprised at tins action of Conn-
oil, for the matter seems to have been
originated and hurried through, no
lens votent, at ono and tbs same meet
ing. A matter of so much importance
as this should have been, it strike*
me, referred to the appropriate com
mittee, dnly examined and considered
by tho committee, and the result of
thoir investigation, whether favorable
or adverse, reported to Council before
taking final action thereon. This U
the eonne usually, if not universally,
pnrsned by all deliberative or legisla
tive bodios; and the propriety and the
absolute need of such a eonrso was
never, perhaps, more strongly ilia*
trated than it is in this particular in-
stance. If this course had been pnr
sned by Council, the committoo would,
in the proper discharge of their duty,
have carefully investigated tho matter
in all its legal bearings and effects, and
they would hsvsbeen compelled, after
an examination of tho fundamental
law of the city, to have reported ad
versely to the granting of any such
permission; and they might llinshave
saved Council from assuming a posi
tion whleh will certainly prove, in the
ond, to be untenable, using tho mild
est term applicable thereto.
Council, in their great haste, mnst
havoontiroly lost sight of tho law,
which should have controlled them in
tho disposition of this matter; aqd
now, in order that tho pooplo of
Brunswick may dearly understand
thoir position in the matter, and to
wbat extent their rights hnvo been
placed in jeopardy, I proposo to ex,
amine, as briefly as possiblo, tho law
touohing upon and controlling tho
(location, as settled and annouuccd
by tho legal tribunals of tho country.
I will tberoforo first call attention
to tho 43d section of tho consolidated
chartor of tho city of Brunswick,
passed by tho Legislature on tho 37th
day of August, 1373, aud which reads
as follows: “ That all tho streets, lanoa,
alloys, ways and public squares, as at
proscut laid out within tho limits of
said city, shall bo and tho same are
hereby again declared to be voatod, in
feo simple, in tho said Mayor and
Council, tor tho use ami benefit, forev
er, of the pooplo of tho said city of
Brunswick; and no privilege hereto
fore granted by the Mayor and Coun
cil of said city of Brunswick, or which
may bo hereafter granted, to nny rail
road corporation, to coustruet and
maintain railways in, on or through
any of the sroots nr commons of said
city, shall ever be constrnod as giving
to such corporrtum uu exclusive or
perpetual privilege of maintaining
such railways in slid cty; un i tho
other corporations What are these
rales, as settled by the courts? I will
first call attention to some of the rat
ing* made by tho Supreme Court of
oor own State; then to some made by
the Bapremo Courts of other States;
and then, to one made by the Su
preme Court of the United States.
Fifth Georgia, page SOI.—"A cor
poration ie an artificial b ing—invisi
ble, intangible and existing only in
contemplation of law. Being the
ereatnre of the law, It possesses only
those properties Whieb the charter of
its creation confers upon it, citherex-
prcsaly or as incidental to its very ex
istence.”
Seventh Georgia, 307.—"In the
construction of statntes mode in der
ogation of common right, and in favor
of corporation* or particular (versons,
care should lie tnken not to extend
them beyond their express words. 1
Ninth Georgia, 313.—" Orants of
exrlnsire privileges, to corporations,
are to be strictly construed; and if the
terms of tho grant aro ambiguous, tho
ambiguity mnst npernto in favor of
the public.
Eigth Ind., 34.—“Tho action of
municipal corporations is.to bo held
strictly within the limits prescribed by
statute. Within these limits they aro
to lie favored by the courts."
Twenty-second Iowa, 331.—" If
land ia dcdicnlo.1 as a public square,
and accepted os such, a law devoting
it to other nsrs is void, beenuaa vio
lating contracts."
Tho Supreme Coart of tho Unitod
States baa made, among many others
upon this subject, tho following rul
ing: “ Municipal corporations, in their
action, aru confined to a strict con
struction of the grants of power con
tained in thoir charters. If, upon tho
whole, thoau ho fair, rcaaouablo and
substantial, doubt whether tho Legis
latino iuteudeil to confer tho authori
ty iu question, particularly if it re
lates to a matter cxtrn-iiiuuici(iul or
unusual in its nature, nml tliu exercise
of which will he nttondod with taxes,
tolls, assessment, or bnrdeua upon tho
inhabitants, or oppress them,
abridge natural or common rights,
the doubt should lie resolved iu favor
of tho citixone, urn) against Ihu munic
ipality.”
I could rite many oilier rulings,
equally as strong mid applicable as
these, but it is not, I think, necessary,
for thoau cited will prove, 1 siu satis
fied, more than sufficient to dearly
aud fully siilinlaiitinlu mv pesitson;
aud 1 will, therefore, now proceed, ill
my feeldo manner, to analyse tho for-
ty third section of the i hnrlcr, aud
then apply tho rulings then-lo.
And first—The legislature solemn
ly rc|ieats the declaration made by
several previous Legislatures, that all
llu streets, luiirs, alleys, ways and
thing, os a matter of right, no mntter I
bow obtained.
Thirdly—The Legislature declares
that the Mayor and Council shall con
trol, wholly aud absolutely, all mid ev
ery railway (til bin the city, amt shall
alone determine tbrungu what street*
(now mark the words, “streets”) rail,
way* shall be carried, to what point*
they shall extend, Ac. The lungmige
used in this danse is also strong, bnt
not any more strong than the occa
sion requires. The peoplo, in not be
protected agninst railroad corpora
lions, soulless and pitiless ns >hey
are, if it be possiblo to protect them
by the use cf human lnnguagc.
Fourthly—Tho Legislature, fearing
evidently that the Mayor and Conn
eil might, at some time, transcend tho
authority and power given them, to
the iujnry of the people, declares that
the Mayor and Council shall have full
authority and power to cause any and
all railways to be removed from tho
street* or common* (mark, again, tho
words, “streetsorconiioous”) whenev
er a majority of all the lcgul voters of
the city, except those only paying
street tax, shall determine, hy ballot,
that the aamo have become a nuisance
or detrimental to the into-reals of tho
city: The langnago here used ia still
stronger, if possible, hat mil any
stronger than tho necessity of the case
demands. Tho people must and ahull
he protected in their rights; and if the
Mayor and Council should, from any
cansc, fail to protect them, the peoplo
aro empowered to take the matter in
to their own bands, nml thus force
Council into a proper discharge of
their duty.
