RIGHTS CLAIMED BY PARTIES TO SUIl Company Asserts Hoard Has o Right tn Make Itednrllona Contem plated and Hoard De nies Intention. The hearing on the Injunction applied for by the Omaha Water company against the Omaha Water Hoard und city council of Omaha to restrain the defendants from re ducing, or attempting to reduce, the water rates a per cent, or any other sum, was on lsfore Judge Mutiger In the Vnlted States circuit -court yesterday morning. R. S. Hall und J. M. Woolworth represent the Interests of the water company and C .C. Wright and John L. Webster those of the water board and city council. The proceedings were begun with Mr. Wright being called to the witness stand to testify as to preparation of the ordi nance of August 8, which proposed to have some bearing upon the establishment of certain water rates. The witness stated that he hatl prepared the ordinance after haying conferred with R. H. Howell, mem ber of the water board. The ordinance was introduced In evidence merely to show that the council and water board had under confederation the project of reducing the water rates. Mr. Woolworth opened the aigument for the water company In support of the In junction asked and cited numerous authori ties dttiying the right of the council or water board tn arbitrarily undertake to re duce the rates. Horrcirs Affidavit.. Reference was made to the affidavits of the membt'19 of the water board, which are aa follows: R. Hceeher Unwell, first being duly sworn, deposes ami says he Is a member of the Witter board of the city of Omaha and further states that he has read over the extract from the minutes of the Water board of the city of Omaha, held on March 18, 1905 as ccrtllied to by Arnold C Koenlng and hereto attacned, and that said extract from the minutes and the facts set forth hi the rcrilllcate correctly set forth the facts which thev respectively purport to recite. Afli-int further states that so far as he Is informed and advised It has not been the Intention of the 'aald board or any membei thereof to make an arbitrary reduction of 2d per cent on the water and meter rates us set down In Section lt of Ordinance , but, to tne contrary, the question as to whether or no there should be a reduction of tariff and meter rates would be a question for consideration after the committee which had been appointed pursuant to the resolution adopted at the meeting of March 18 should make Its re port, and the amount of reduction, If any should be made, would be dependent on what tariff rates and meter rates should he found to be reasonable and proper after due consideration of the subject matter. Athant further states that up to the pres ent time no resolution has been adopted reducing water rates und meter rates and no such resolution or regulation is now pending before the. Water board. Identical affidavits were signed by Isaac E. Congdon, Milton T. Barlow, James K. Boyd and A. H. Whipple, all members of the board. Power to ItegulRle nates. 'Mr. Woolworth contended that the affi davits did not specifically state that there was to be no reduction of water rates, but, on the other hand, the inference was that there was to be a reduction of the rates. The court wanted to Hcnow which body had the right to fix the water rates, the city council or the water board. Mr. Woolworth stated that formerly the city council had this power, but by later laws this authority was vested with the water hoard, which law, he maintained, is unconstitutional, on the ground that the bill does not give the board the power to ngulate rates until the city acquires the water works. The question hinges upon the proposition of the right of the board to reduce ;he rates at all, which the attorneys for the water company deny, and hence the In junction is asked. The affidavits of the members of the water board escapes and avoids the charges of the water company's bill, and Mr. Woolworth believed that there was a positive determination on the part of the water board to reduce the rates. Injunction ot Proper. (.'ai l ('. Wright, former city attorney, and one of the attorneys for the water board, stated that the bill of the water company charges that the original ordinance grant ing the water company Its franchise was a cont rac t. and fixed the rates, and was therefore constitutional, and any other or dinance would be unconstitutional. The bill further states that the water board Is about to reduce the rates 2o per cent. "This is not a proper case for an in junction." said Mr. Wright. "The affida vits of the members of the water board were tiled for the purpose of this case and simply to ascertain If a 25 per cent reduc tion would be a reasonable reduction. The main question Is whether the board can act at all. We claim the right to pass resolutions after Investigation and deter mination realtive to rates. Another ques tion Is as to the right of the water com pany to bring an Injunction suit prior to any action or resolution by the water board. The water company, under para graph 27 of its bill, says that a 25 per cent reduction of rates will deprive it of suffi cient revenue to meet Its obligations, etc." The court here Interposed the query as to whether a 25 per cent reduction Is an unreasonable one. If the water board has no rluht or authority under the contract tt, reduce the water rates, this fact alone would dispose of the case at once. Ordinance Not Perpetual. Continuing. .Mr. Wright said: "An ordi nance cannot be made perpetual, nor can nu ordinance confer a ct ntln'uous and per petual light. Such an ordinance would be in direct violation of the constitution, not only of the state, but of the I'nltetl States. Contracts between municipalities auJ franchise corporations should be con strued liberally on behalf of the ,iublle. Franchise corporations shall hava use of the streets only so long as they comply with the ordinance. Municipal contra, ts are liable to limitations. The water com pany claims that Its franchise Is a perpe tual one. were this so It would bind tne hands of the city forever. If contracts ;tre not within reasonable grounds the courts can declare thm Ineffective." , Mr. W right finished his argument about 3:M o'clock Saturday evening and was followed by John I.. Webster, his associate attorney for the water board, whu spoke nearly two hours and had not concluded his argument at the hour of closing court at 5 o'clock. An adjournment was there upon taken until 9 o'clock Monday morning. Webster's ton tent Ion. Mr. Webster's argument dwelt parth u larly upon the proposition that the water company came before the court to enjoin the water board from considering some thing. Me said: "On this fame hypoth esis, they could go to the legislature and i-etk to enjoin It from passing certain laws. If I he city had the power in IS) to tlx a reasonable maximum rate, It should have .he same power now. The Nebraska legis lature of 1'Jou passed a law to permit a modification "f w-ater rates here In Omaha. If this Injunction Is alluwed It will result in a tlct laratlon thut the law Is unconstitutional The supreme court of the fnltid States has repeatedly rrcog niitd the rlgiit of municipalities dig. iiitte water isles to private consumers. The iiurptlnu of hydrant rentals Is the only contiact between the illy and the water company, as mil liorlr.rd by tha Oldmmic ut luu. b'vttluu iU ul ordinance fsu. 4-3 was an expression of the sentiment of the city council as to what wnuld be a rea sonable rate. The rates cannot be lowered by the council so as to be unreas nal le and unjust to the water company, nor can the water company raise the rates to a figure that ! unreasonable and unjust to the public."
