Page 264 - It is a general and undisputed proposition of law that a municipal corporation possesses and can exercise the following powers and no others: First, those granted in express words; second, those necessarily or fairly implied in or incident to the powers expressly granted; third, those essential to the declared objects and purposes of the corporation — not simply convenient but indispensable.
Page 253 - Property does become clothed with a public interest when used in a manner to make it of public consequence and affect the community at large. When, therefore, one devotes his property to a use in which the public has an interest, he, in effect, grants to the public an interest in that use, and must submit to be controlled by the public for the common good, to the extent of the interest he has thus created.

Page 264 - It is a well-settled rule of construction of grants by the Legislature to corporations, whether public or private, that only such powers and rights can be exercised under them as are clearly comprehended within the words of the act or derived therefrom by necessary implication, regard being had to the objects of the grant.

Page 84 - That private messages may, with the consent and authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, be transmitted over any and all telephone lines controlled by the Treasury Department, whenever it does not interfere with Government business, at such rates and on such terms and conditions as may from time to time be fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury, the proceeds thereof to be accounted for and paid into the Treasury of the United States.

Page 245 - The government of the United States, within the scope of its powers, operates upon every foot of territory under its jurisdiction. It legislates for the whole nation, and is not embarrassed by State lines. Its peculiar duty is to protect one part of the country from encroachments by another upon the national rights which belong to all.
Page 20 - The electric telegraph marks an epoch in the progress of time.

It is indispensable as a means of inter-communication, but especially is it so in commercial transactions.
