Perhaps It la saperxtitlou to say
that March came in like a lion, but
really it is proper to say that the
animal marched by and natlshed hi
his tail this way. On Kunday last
in the early morning, about a half
inch snow fell, then the wind raised
and soon blew the snow to tatters.
The temperature then sank below
freezing. The brisk breeze contiuued
Monday, then began to quiet down
so by Tuesday noon the weather was
quite pleasant again. The small boy
sought for ice, but found
noue, though word come from
Forest Grove, six miles away, that
the skating was quite good. At
that town there was three inches of
snow, while at McMlnnvdle the while
mantle was reported to be eight
Inches deep. Not for year hia so
cold a snap visited us in March.
However, the temperature was only
down to 20 above zero. A few
water pipes have been bursted. but
no other damage has resulted. The
cold will injure the tender grass that
was springing up everywhere though
farmers report do damage to grow.

The first meeting of the Hillsboro
Republican Club, after the selection
of officers, was held in the court
house last Tuesday evening. Short
Introductory speeches were made by
Judge Cornelius and Hon. C. I.
Yates. The speech of the evening,
though, was that of Hon. T. II.
Tongue. The auditory of the court
house contained as many people as
could be comfortably seated. The
enthusiasm excited by Mr. Tongue
was great. His address was not a
argumentative as his speeches usual
ly are, but he lookup the odds and
ends of former campaigns and con
nected them with the present time,
laying a good foundation of facts for
leaker who may address the club
later in the campaign. The talk was
just what was wanted at this time,
which brings to mind that Mr.
Tongue has the happy faculty of say
ing the right thing at the right time.
The club will hold a business meet
ing two weeks hence, March 17th, at
which the business Interests of the
iijt will receive attention.

To THE HoNOKAHt.K MAYOR AND
Hoard of Trustee or the
CITY OF HI!.tRORO, orroox:
In answer to the itiquirU-s made
by the Board, I beg to submit the
following: On the l:h day of July,
191, the city of Hillsboro entered
itilo a contract with H. V. Gates
wherein he was to construct water
works and an electric light plant In
the city, and to furnish water and
light to the citizens and the town at
specined rates. Omitting details,
which are irrelevant here, the city
agreed to take enough electric lights
Incandescent to amount to the
sum of I10O per month. It further
agreed to issue to Mr. Gates the sum
of $10,000 in bonds to draw S per
cent Interest and to run ten years, or,
at the option of the city, ror a longer
time, not exceeding twenty years
from date of lsue. The bonds were
to be Issued to Mr. Gates as soon as
the plant was completed, with the
exception that a certain lank men
Honed in the contract was not re
qmrvd to be completed before the de-
II vrr nf the bonds. '
It wa further agreed th it the said
works and plant snojld be free from
all liens mi materi ls used In tha
construction or such works should be
paid r-r. And In consideration of
providing the inhabitants of said
town with water and light said bonds
were issued, and In consideration of
Ihe execution aud delivery of said
bonds It was agreed that at the expi
ration of ten year or any time there
after, tha taw a might purchase tha
Interest of the other t-arty with all
the appurtenances. It was also
agreed that until the city should pur.
chase the said works the said city
hhould own an absolute interest in
the said works to the amount of
f Io.ihmj th amount of said bonds
with the understanding that until
such purchase of Mr. Gates' interest,
he should have theexciuive Use aud
control in said works without paying
to the chy any renU, profits or reve
nues, except that Mr. Gates or hi as
sign houiJ ii ot have power 10 sen,
mortgage, pledge or in any wi en
cumber the Merest of Ite city in
sa d works
A I understand, the work were
completed, and the bonds iauied and
delivered to Mr. Gates The con
tract was not recorded, was it ex
ecuted so as to eu title it to be record
ed, and if recorded, the recording
would be of no effect. The property,
as completed, was In the came of
Mr. Gates aith all the indicia of
complete ownership, tne city inter
est resting in the contract.
In October, 1393, Mr. Gates with
others incorporated the Hillsboro
Electric Light 4 Water Company.
Immediately aiter the incorporation,
he sold and transferred by deed to
said comny all the water and light
plant, real estate, lines poles, etc., for
the expressed consideration of $44,
636.43. The deed warranted the
property against the lawful claims
and demands of all persons whomso
ever, except the city of Hillsboro. It
also states in said conveyance that it
"is made subject to the right and
claim of the city or HilNhoro to part
ownership in said property."
Shortly thereafter the said com
pany executed to Helen M. Gates,
the wife or Mr. Gates, a mortgage on
the said plant ror some (14,000.
which was recorded and Is now of
record in this county.
What is the effect of this mortgage
on the city's interest and upon the
contract containing the agreement
not to incumber the said interest? 1
am or the opinion that the convey
ance or the company containing, as it
did, the reservation of warranty, and
the express statement that it was
made .subject to the city's Interest,
protects the city's interest, and is a
compliance with the contract.
The company, in taking the con
veyance and the property conveyed,
took it subject to the city's right, and
anyone receiving any lien or mort
gage, must take such mortgage sub.
ject to all the company's limitations
as they appear of record. The con
tract, iu this regard, has been com
plied with, and the bonds must be
paid.
There is another feature of thl
contract : Uuder the charter or 1876,
incorporating the town, the liability
of the town was limited to $2,000.
In 1891, In order to obtain a water
and light plant in the town, the
charter was amended so as to permit
the tow n to incur a bonded indebted
ness not exceeding (10,000, for the
purpose of providing the inhabitants
or the town with water and light
This $10,000 of bonds was in addition
to the old limitation of liability to
$2,000, existing before IS9I. After
1891 the most the town could incur
was this $10,000 of bonds and the
further liability of $2,000. How ever,
when making this contract for watei
(in which it was restricted to the
bonds, and, at the outside, to. $2,000
additional) the town further agreed
in said contract to take electric light
to the amount of $100 per month for
the period of said contract, which
was ten years with the option of a
ten -years' extension. Taking-the
limit at ten years the liability thus
incurred in excess of said bonds t r
$10,000. was the sura or $12,000. It
was therefore void, being in excess of
the power of the town to create or
incur. This has beeu decided iu a
similar case lfore our supreme
court, that or the Salem W ater Co. v
City or Salem, 5th On-gon, 29th
This feature of the contract bcirg
void, the city can legally refuse lo
take or pay for a single arc liht.
This leaves the question : What Is
the situation of the city as to its
interest in the water and light plant?
From the wording of the contract, I
am led to the opinion that the city
wou! I still retain its Interest if refus
ing to take or pay for any arc lights.
The charter and contract are to the
effect that the bonds are for the fur
nishing of the water and light to the
town, and for the said $10,000 share
of the city.
If the city refuses to tske any
lights, it is doubtful if the company
could be compelled to furnish hy
drants free perhaps none at all.
The agreement by the town to
take the electric lights Is a part of
the contract, though it is not neces
sary to such a coutract as that au
thorized by the charter. If the
agreement by Mr. Gates to furnish
hydrants free was in consideration of
the agreement by the town to take
the lights, the city could not refuse to
take the lights and yet get the hy
drants. The company might be
complying with the valid -art of the
contract by dimply furnishing the
town iu getierxl with light and
water. It may be that in case the
lights were discontinued, the city
could still require the company to
furnish the hydrants free as hereto
fore. To pive a positive opinion as
to this point and the ritrht of the city
in the plant in case of lii-cotitinuing
the lights, would rtqutr extended
examination of the law iu similar
case.
If the city continues In comply
with the contract in its terms as if It
were valid in all respects, can it re
quire any if the arc lights to be
changid, find if not changed may it
discontinue certain of them for that
reason T To this I will My that I do
not think it inn. They were located
by i be mutual consent of the city
and Mr. Gates, and he can not be
com .el led to remove them. In this.
as in the matter or taking these
light, it U ralher a matter of good
aid, accommodation and good faith,
than of legal compulsion.
To summarize:
Mr. Gates has not violated his eon
tract, nor placed any lien on the int
erest of the city.
2. The bonds have been legalized
and roust be paid.
3. The agreement to hike lights is
v id and the city may refue to take
them.
4. If it so refuses, it retains its
interest in the plant (probably.)
A. If It discontinues the lights it
right to the free hydrants is doubtful.
6. If it recgnias the contract to
take lights as valid, it can not require
any lights to lie changed without
consent of the company.
Respectfully,
L. K. Adam,
City Attorney.
The opinion was received, ami the
council further asked the attorney to
give bis opinion on two other ques
tions, to-wit :

take arc lights will It lose its Interest
in tne plant?
2d, If the city refuses longer to
take arc lights " it lose the free
hydrants?
