Charleston Denied Goose Creek Water Sup ply Contract
The Spectator reports the court ruling against Charleston in the famous water fee case, continuing the dispute over supplying Goose Creek with water. The decision underscores ongoing conflict between city authorities and the water provision agreement.
City Council Strained Over Water Contract Case
In Charleston a court injunction against the Charleston Light and Power Company is permanent. It voids a 50 year water contract from Goose Creek that would cost the city $2,000 annually and authorize bond issuance of 1,000,000 to back water supply. The ruling limits municipal debt and blocks certain corporate arrangements. The article also notes a quo warranto action challenging the Chicago Masons and Builders Association for restricting brick and stone suppliers to members of the Chicago Pressed Brick Association.
