Thean doubt appear to hare been without foundation. ' That the city can aocept auch a (I ft seems to ad mit of no queatlon.

But In the opinion of a number of prominent attorneys, section 108 of the charter Is more alsnlflcant. This sec tlon Is as follows: , The council has power sod authority by ordinance duly passed to sre with any corporation, firm or person con tructins a commercial raltread and de siring to enter the city, upon the extent, terms and condition upon which the streets, alleys or publlo grounds of. the city may be appropriated, used or oc cupied by such Tall road, and upon the manner, terms and conditions ynder which the cars and locomotive of such railroad may be run over and upon such streets, alley snd publlo grounds! such agreement ahall be subieot to tha pro vision - ajxl --requirements ; of - seetlona f.

Dunlway made the following statement: The law has been erroneously stated In tba opinion of the city attorney, as 101 low That section two of the charter tiro- Tiding for the dry becoming th donee of glfta doe not apply to public utili tlea and that the other provisions of the charter quoted and referred to plaoe an Inhibition upon the council to ac quire the railroad referred to, otherwise than stated In section 7B and following sections of srtlcle I of chapter t ot the charter. "Here we hare a written opinion of the city attorney that specific provision authorizing and empowering the city of Portland to acquire at publlo eapenae a railway already built, by means of con. damnation, and providing that the city may build at public expense a railroad Is an inhibition, a prohibition, against the city acquiring the aame property for the same purpose by gift, fuch a propoal- r mind, absolutely caiiles-mr own refutation. "Moreover, " thchartrorlPortlantI contains express provisions for the re ceipt of. such a gift., and. moreover, the oliarter-of Portland contains Implied provision for the aame thing in nu merous places. And lastly, the city of Portland In the past haa received sim ilar glfta under provisions and aucb gifts have been upheld in the courts of Oregon."
