TEXT OF OPIII
REGARDING MOHEY
FOR THE LIBRARY
N T 1 CEJf
It you are thinking ot i
The following- la the complete text
of the opinion Klven to District At
torney Keator by Attorney uenerai
Brown in reimrd to the use of city
money for the benefit of the county
library:
Salem. Ore.. May 1,19J".
Honorable R. I. Keator.
DIM. Atty.. I'matilla Co.,
Pendleton. OreRon.
Pear Sir:
1 have your favor of the 2Tth ulti
mo, in Mhlrh you ask my opinion
whether the city council of The t'itj
ot Pendltttnn may contract with the
county court of I'matilla county to
contribute tn the support of the public
library owned and operated by said
couiuv without violatina iction 9 of
Article XI of the Constitution of
Oreuon. and xt-ttimc out the facts
which call forth this question. Sid
section of the Constitution reads as
follows:
"No county, city, town or other mu
nicipal corporation, by a vote or iti
citizens or otherwise, shall become i
stockholder In any joint stock com
i inm-. corporation or association w hat
: ever, or raise money for. or loan its
i credit to. or in aid of, any such com
I pany. corporation, or association." -I
Section 431. Lord's Orecon 1-aws.
! which is a part of the public library
'law of Oresun. reads as follows:
I "If there exists in any incorporated
city a secular or nonsectarlan library
owned and controlled by a society or
' corporation, the council of such in
corporated city city may. when deem
ed best for the Interests of the city,
levy the tax hereinbefore provided
fori and in lieu of supporting and
niaintnininK a public library, enter In
to a contract with such society or cor
poration for the purpose of providing
the Inhabitants of such city with the
free use of the library upon such
terms and conditions as may be
agreed upon between the council and
the society or corporation: ana tne
terms of such contract may give the
control and management of the li
brary to such society or corporation,
in which event section 4319 shall have
no effect, but the other sections there
of shall be considered to be a part of
said contract; provided, however,
that all money paid to such society or
corporation under' slid contract shall
be expended solely for the mainten
ance of thr library, and for no other
purpose."
It Is. therefore, evident that the
cllv council has authority to make
such contract under the statute un
less the same is In violation of the
constitutional provision above quoted
and In fact they would have such au
thoiity independent of the statute, if
not prohibited by the Constitution.
The Supreme Court of Oregon in the
case of Municipal Security Co. vs.
Haker .County. 39 Ore. .. at pages
403-7. considered the effect of this
provision of the Constitution and Its
opinion as set forth on said paces Is
helpful In construing its provisions.
Quotlnu- at pace 405 from the decision
t.t the Supreme Court of Ohio, as fol
lows: ...... but It (the city) cannot
ugage in an enterprise with an in
dividual or corporation for the con
struction or erection of a property
which, as a completed whole, is to be
i w-ned and controlled In part by the
rity and in part by an individual cor
poration." Our court considering this language
says:
"We cannot believe that the lar.gu-.-.Ke
of oir constitution hereinbefore
luoted is susceptible to the construc
tion given to .a similar clause by the
Supreme Court of Ohio, nor yield our
consent to the reasons assigned for
the decision there rendered."
The court then proceeds to explain
that this section of the Constitution
was adopted In view of the experi
ence of municipalities of other states
taking stock In railroads and other
business concerns In order to develop
their communities and to avoid the
disastrous results which followed such
investment and that it Is not inteno
ed to prevent a municipality from
owning property Jointly with an
other person, association or corpora
tion, and concludes:
"In the csseat bar. if the relief de
manded were granted, the county
would not- thereby become a stock,
holder In any Joint stock company,
corporation, or association whatever:
nor would it be raising money for. or
loaning Its credit to or in aid of. any
such company, corporation or asso
ciation." It may be added that this was a
esse where the county had purchased
certain real property and Issued its
warrants therefor, but on account ot
the constitutional limitation upon
county indebtedness such warrants
were declared Invalid and the county
was sued to compel It to reconvey the
undivided Interest In such property
I represented by the unpaid warrants.
! It- the urrscnt Instance. the city
would not become a stick holder in
any corporation. Joint stock compsny
or assoclat ion. nor would it be rais
ing money for or loaning Its credit to.
or In aid of any such company, cor-i..--.f
ln r association, as the words
''are there used. It has authority to
' I maintain a library either as the owner
Jithereof or by contract with another
ilto maintain such library and furnish
i .Ill rary facllltii s to Its cltlsens snd in
'(either case it does not become a
stockholder of or contribute In aid of
the one furnishing the library facili
ties. It may In f.ict be an aid to the
M.int.- r..r fh citv to make such
ftj i contract but It is also an aid to sny
tptf-pon. firm or rornorat Ion to fur
tnlsh any city supplies and It could
'hsrd'y be h-ld thet this is a viola
tion of said section of the Constttu
jt nn f.-r if so the countv would tie In-Ih.l.it-d
