The following opinion of the City Attorney was read; "Austin, Texas, August 9, 1933. The City Council, Austin, Texas. Gentlemen: You are advised that the City Council of the City of Austin has the power, under authority of its charter, to borrow money for the purpose of the improvement, enlargement, betterment, extension, and/or repair of the water, 1ight & power works and system, or any part of same, owned by the City of Austin, and to issue notes or bonds to evidence the money so borrowed, which notes or bonde must have the characteristics of negotiable instruments under the law merchant, and to provide for an interest and sinking fund out of the income derived from the operations of said works and system sufficient to pay said bonds or notes at maturity. To secure the payment of any such notes or bonds, the City Council has the further power to pledge said income; but it is provided that no such obligation shall ever be a debt of the City of Austin, but solely a charge upon the income so encumbered, and shall never be reckoned in determining the power of the City to issue bonds for any pригрове authorized by law. It is provided, however, that no notes orbonds shall ever be issued that pledge such income for a longer period than ten years; and further, that such notes or bonds shall never be issued in amounts and maturities greater than can be paid, both principal and interest, within the ten-year period, with not to exceed annually 20% of the groвe income of the said works and system for the twelve months next preceding the month of the issuance of the notes or bonds. It is further provided that whenever the income from such works and system shall be encumbered under the terms of the charter, the rates to be charged and collected by the City for services furnished by said works and system, shall at all times be sufficient to pay the expenses of operation and maintenance necessary to render efficient service, and in addition thereto sufficient to create a fund to pay at maturity any notes and bonds and interest so issued under the authority and terms of the charter. You are proposing to apply to the United States Government for certain loans, under the National Industrial Recovery Act, for the construction of certain improvements and betterments to the Water, Light & Power Works and System of the City. It is my understanding that the Government will grant loans to municipalities for public works, and where such projects are or will become income-producing, the Government will take as security for such loans pledges of such income where authorized. Therefore, you are advised that the City Council, under the authority of the charter, can, of its own initiative and without reference to a vote of the tax-payers of the City, make a firm contract with the United States Government for the repayment of any loans that may be granted the City of Austin for the purposes above stated, and to secure the repayment of such loans, can pledge only the income of the Water, Light & Power Works & System. But any such debt shall not be for a longer time than ten years, and if payable in annual installments, then the amount and maturity of each installment, principal and interest, mist not be greater than can be paid with 20% of the gross revenues of said works and system for the twelve months next preceding the month of the issuance of the notes or bonds evidencing the debt. Your attention is further called to the fact that it is the obligation of the City during the term of any such debt to maintain the service rates at a level sufficient to pay the operation and maintenance costs, and in addition to create a fund for the payment of said debt. Yours very truly, (Sgd) J. Bouldin Rector, City Attorney. 10 A committee, representing a majority of the owners and operators of beauty parlors of the City, submitted to the Council a petition requesting that the City co-operate in the enforcement of the State law regulating beauty parlors in order to make effective the code adopted by them in compliance with the National Recovery Act; and that the Council pass an : : i 179 ordinance supplementary to the state law which would better protect public health. The committee was asked to confer with the City Attorney in the drafting of the ordinance requested. Mr. Don Gillum, representing the American Legion, Travis Post No. 76, came before the Council and asked that their organization be given permission to have a street dance on the night of August 26th. The request was granted . Mr. George Fitzsimmons submitted a written complaint against the efficiency of the Plumbing Department. The matter was referred to the City Manager. Messrs. Frank Moore and T. J. Butler, abutting property owners, appeared before the Counoil and protested the opening of the old Robt. E. Lee Highway, or River Road, stating that there was no public necessity for same and that it would be detrimental to their interests. After a discussion of the matter, the protestants agreeing to withdraw their objections if it could be shown that said road would serve a useful purpose, the City Manager was instructed to submit to them blue prints showing the proposed plan of development. The application of A. T. Long for permit to install an underground tank and pump for private use only at 4th and Red River Streets was read.
