LETTER TROM THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Considerable talk, pro and con,
regarding the use of part of the pro-
posed bond issue on the streets has'
been indulged in ever since the mat
ter was'first agitated. Some insisted
that the law did not permit of it.
others that it did and many that the
court could spend the money at its
discretion, be it on 'the streets of
Denton or anywhere else in the pre-
cinct.
The commissioners’ court was in-
terested in the matter as regards its
rights and duties and had County
Judge Zumwalt write to the Attorney
General for an opinion. It came this
week and. although the bond issue
has dropped from notice apparently,
it will be of interest to many: The
letter follows:
"When a road improvement dis
trict includes all or part of a mu-
nicipal cor]»oration, the people of the
municipality have as much right to
have the streets of the town im-
proved by the expenditure of this
road fund as the people of any oth-
er part of the district have, and un-
less the city authorities should ab-
solutely forbid the expenditure of
such funds, the commissioners' court
would have a right to. so expend this
road improvement district fund. 1
am not sure that the commissioners'
court would ha\V the authority to
in spite of the city authorities. The
municipality or a part of it voting
the bond issue would necessarily
pay their proportionate part of the
tax and would be entitled to have
the funds expended in the district
without discrimination against any
portion of such district. Yours truly,
“J. T. SLUDER,
"Office Assistant Attorney General.”
SAYS COMMISSIONERS COULD
SPEND BOND MONEY ON THE
CITY STREETS.
Thinks Conncil Could not Forbid
Commissioorrs Spending Part of
JHiad Bond Money on Public
sireets of the City.

Texan Sjn<i() Condemns Action of tlic
Mexican Government for Giving
That W as That the Santa - e to Get
into Dallas Would be Obliged to
Handle Local Bualnean on Dal-
ia* and »»icl.. .a Branch.
SAN ANGELO, Tex.. Nov.
The Texas Presbyterian synod here
today condemned the action of Mex
ico in granting Col. Matt Winn a
stations dn the Katy over which it
operated from Waxahachie to Dallas
and accept local freight and passen-
ger business when offered. Neither
the C. A. B. V. nor the Katy wanted
any such thing done, but for the j
time being were powerless to help it.
The former immediately appealed to
the courts, in the meantime accept-
ing the business, and this ordqr Mr.
Ripley laid some stress upon, aa an
objection to his company building
from Krum here and then leasing
traffic rights over the Katy into Dal-
las.
A decision banded down by the .
Texas Supreme court Wednesday,
however .upholds the T. and B. V.'v
contention and permits that road to
operate only through trains over the
Katy from Waxahachie into Dallas i
Toe following news Item from Aus=I
tin gives the details of the decision:
"The Supreme Court refused appli-
cation for writ of error in the cam
of the State vs. Trinity and Brazos t
Valley Railway company from Travis •
thereby finally affirming the decision •
of the Appellate Court holding that J
railroads could contract to use the
rails of another .and the leasee obli-
gate Itself to engage in no local
business at stations on the Missouri
ity and Brazos Valley contracted to
use the rails of the Missouri. Kan-
sas and Texas from Waxahachie to
Dallas and it is stipulated that the
lessee should not engage in local
business at stations ont the Missouri. 1
Kansas and Texas between Waxaha-.
chie and 'Dallas. Citizens at inter-
mediate > towns complained to the
Railroad Commission and an order
was issued directing the Trinity and
Brazos Valley to stop its trans at
said intermediate points for the ac-
commodation of freight and passen-
gers. This order was disregarded
and suit was entered for penalties.
All three courts have
against the
and the rule
lease contracts are valid-
a number of places in Texas wher*
a number of places in Texas where
joint tracks are in use and on.
which the leasing line does no local
business."
As soon aa the item appeared in
the newspapers a member of the
committee, remembering Mr. Rip-f
ley's positron on that objection, clip-
ped It and sent It to Mr. Riplev wth
a personal letter. The decision may
have no unimportant bearing on the
prospect for a connection with the
Santa Fe for which Denton has been
working for many years, and if that
is Mr. Ripley's "paramount objec-
tion" its removal leaves him a clear
right of way to build into Denton
from Krum or some other point.

When the local Committee that
waited u|>on President Ripley’ at
Fort Worth several months ago in
regard to the Santa Ff's bulding of
the line from Krum here in order
to get entry into Dallas from the
north, one of the main objections
urged by Mr. Ripley was that his
company did not want to accept the,
local business between Denton and
Dallas and, moreover, .ait the Katy,
which owns the line, would natur-;
any oppose leasing its road bed to
a competitor for the local business
At that time the railroad commission
had just ordered the Texas and '
Brazos Valley that it must stop at
