The board of water commissioners held
a spe.ial me--ting yest-rday to consider
ttie pfijp-jtiiil'm of supplying water to the
1 government for Fort S evens
"
Thi first matter unbr oonslderatlon
was to wh-th-r the water commission,
under th- charter, had the b-gal right
V) lay pile, outside the city limits and fur
nish water to persons wd residents of
Astoria. At a previous meettnjt of the
board this qu'-stlon had been taken up
arnl th- el'y ati rn.-y was dlrestte.1 w
lnvetu;a'! the ;,:a phase of Xlu; prois-
si-tion. Mr. A!en at thw mwllng ul
mlttd his opinion, holding that the char.
er of Astoria would not j rmlt the board
of water commission- to furnish water
to parti-s outside the city limits. The fol
V.wirig N Mr. Allen's opinion In full:
A3T'rtI.. June i. JhSJ.-To the Hon
Astoria Water Commission Gentlemen!
In answer to your Inquiry as to the
pow'-r of the city of Astoria to construct
or extend water works beyond the c.ty
limits, I am taking Into consideration
th.. branch of the matter which a:pll-s to
the de-.ne of the government to obtain
water from the city, the furnishing of
which would necessitate) th'i extension of
a supply main outside of the llmtis of
the city of Astoria, to carry water to a
consumer. I 'have carefully examined
the chart 1 r provlslonH applicable to the
qi'sti.n and also the c In point
and I find that the law makes a distinc
tion between the two kinds of cai!"S, to
wit: Those In which It Is necessary to
construct works and lay pipes out aide th
limits of the Incorporation fir the pur'
P'rn of bringing water to oinsum'-ra and
to the reservoir Inside of the limits, and
those in which It Is desired as It 1 In
the case under consideration, to extend
mains to consumers outside the limits.
Our charter expressly provides that 'he
rommlswJon may acquire realty, conetrncf
ny and all necessary works In or out
tjt the city for the purpose of acquiring
a supply of water for the Inhabl bantu of
the dty, hut does not directly authorize
the construction or maintenance of mains
outside the city for the purposes of sap
plying water to consumers, non-reslI'mts
of the dty.
The charter does not prohibit the com.
mission from supplying water to a non-
resident of the city, who nviy tak liU
supply Inside the limits, It making n
difference what hi may do with the
water after he receives It. I ibut respect.
nKe authority hold to the same doctrine,
It la therefore my opinion that tlvcom.
mission, may extend U" mains to the
city limits, there put In a meter, Mr not,
as the commlsHlon nuy d. sliv. deliver
I lie water to thn govetnnient at that
point, ami the government, by lav dig tts
own plM fr'iit tho city limits to lis
fortltl. atlciis, may ttius a ninro from the
city of Astoria a supply of water.
I am of the opinion tluit the h'vo ar
raiigement will satisfy tho gvvermneut,
as It gencrnll.v prvfers :t construct H"
own wvuks In such a isi-e. and I Ihink
the coinmsslim can giant the prlvlbgc
to the gvivernineiit In the manner in.l.cai. i
e,l by my opinion without violation of tlie
lert. r or sirlt of the law.
III cousoiueiuv of Hie above opinion
from the city atU'tney the Nvarvl decldeil
to give up further consideration of
running a pipe line to Fort Stevens, hut
that If the government would lav a piv
lino frven th fort to the city limits at i
Smith's point the hoarvl would connect it
with the city main and supply the P'lt j
with w uter, provided a;i evjul'.able vvn.
tract wtild Ih made, v'apt.iln Itolhr.mk '
was pivwnt and siatevl that he was not i
In a vvs4tkii to male whether such an!
arrangement would ho satisfactory to the I
government, th, only thing he can do
is to get a proposition ftvn the city and i
submit It to the department. He said.
