Dear Sirs: Some days since a package
of your tiRAIN-0 preparation was left
at my office. I took it home and gave
it a trial, and I have to say I was very
much pleased with It, as a substitute
for coffee. We have always used the
Deal lava and Mocha in our family but
I am free to say I like the GRAIN-O
as well as the best coffee I ever drank.
Respectfully yours.

June |8rd liMio,
in the Honorable Burgess ami Town
council of the Borough ol Consho-hocken,
Conshohocken, Pa.
Qentlemen :
On May Is! our general superintend
em lit operating departmenl wrote you
In regard to entering into a contract for
lire hydrants with your borough, and
at the same time enclosing a bill for
the use ni Hi. lire hydrants up bo (ha
llrsl of May. ami asked that your hon-orable
body give the matter your
prompt consideration. We have not
beard anything Officially from you III
reply, and Hie mily notice we have re-ceived
thai our lelter was receive.I by
you was from a public statement made
by your attorneys in the Conshohock-en
newspaper, it Is always our en-deavor
to avoid lawsuits or legal com-plications
wherever possible, and with
that object in view would like to state
briefly our position in Ihc matter. We
also thought well to have legal opinion
is in our rights in the borough, and to
lliai i ml thai amicable negotiations
might be entered Into, in order that
some understanding could be dcllnitcly
ai rived at. we thought it proper before
invoking the nid of the court to a de-termination
of this trouble, that we
give you the opinion of our counsel on
the subject. You have our permission
in turn this letter over in your attor-neys
for their consideration. If. of
course, they slill adhere to the opinion
given to you. I presume it will be hope
less for us to try to reach the settle-ment
WS would like to under the cir-euinslaiiii
s. If. however, they feel dis-posed
to direct ibai such a settlement
would probably be to your interests,
we would then be pleased lo lake up
Hie matter with your Honorable Body
iiirei lly.
The following is the opinion of our
Attorney, Mr. William 0. Hannls, of
the law firm of ll.uuiis. Williams \
Bunting.
I he opinion of the Borough Counsel
thai the aceiplaiin of the Constitution
and of the Ail of I ST t by the Water
i ompaiiy gave tliein no exclusive rights
In the Borough, and that the Borough
or another Water company could tract
a competing plant, is utterly without
merit, and la not at ail supported by
the authority cited by them of the
Borough of Braddock, vs. The Penn
Water Co., 189 Pa., 379.
ThS Corporation Act ofl87-l provides
tuns:—
'Corporations for any of the purposes
named and covered by the provisions
of Ibis Act, heretofore created by any
special act or in existence under the
provisions of any general low of this
Commonwealth, upon accepting the
provisions of the Constitution and of
mis Act by writing under the seal of
the said corporation, duly tiled in the
OfflCC Of the Secretary of the Comtnon-weailli,
shall be entitled to all the
privileges, Immunities, franchises and
powers conferred by this Act upon cor-porations
in in- created nndar the same,
and upon such acceptance and appro-val
thereof by the Qovernor he shall
issue letters patent to said corporal ion,
reciting the same.'
The provisions Of HliS act have been
followed by the Conshobockeii lias ami
Wall i C pany accepting the provis-ions
of the Constitution and ol the Ac!
of 1874, by writing under the seal of
ilu Corporation which was duly filed
in the Office of tin- Secretary of the
Commonwealth, ami was approved by
the Qovernot on September l.'ilb. 1888.
That is all that la required by this Act.
Nothing moie. In Iiiis I am continued
by the opinion of Attorney General
Lear, delivered April isth, 1878, In
vbicii the question then was whether
on filing a writing of a corporation In-corporated
prior to the CoriMiration Act
of 1874, accepting the provisions of the
constitution ami of tin- Corporation
Act. it would be necessary to advertise
the tiling of said writing. Afler recit-ing
the provisions of the Act as nbove
quoted by us. he sayR:
The Art requires no notice of ibis
proceeding and what the Act does not
require need not be done ami there-tore
I here need be no publication.
The proceedings to be had for these
purposes cannot be made plainer than
the language of the Act. and Its pro-visions
iii ibis respect need no) !>•■ re-written.
Whatever the Act directs
must be done. Inn beyond Ihat nothing
is required."
Bee Meredith ami rates "Formation
and Regulation of Corporations'1 page
106,
The Counsel for the borough say that
Ilu acceptance of these provisions Is
equivalent to s reeharterlng under Raid
Ait and that therefore, they niURt re-cord
their charter in the County in
which they are doing business. They
cannot successfully• maintain in any
Court such a contention, The a< p-tame
of tin- Corporation Act of 1x74 by
a Corporation having a perpetual char-ter,
is not the equivalent to the reehar-terlng
of a corporation, whose chattel
Is about to expire by llmitatoo. The
10th Section of the Corporation Act In
regard to such reciiurtering of corpor-ations,
provided as follows:—
! ST GERTRUDE'S SCHOOL'S : "''^"Su.
the charters whereof are about to sx-plre
by lapse of time linm Ihelr own
liinltatii.il may he reiliniler.il or llie
charters thereof renewed under tin-provisions
of this Act, by preparing,
having approved and recorded, the cer-tificate
named in said Section for the
class of Corporation of which the same
la .in-, in addition bo the requirements
provided in this act for n new corpora-tion,
the ccrlillcate for a new shatter
shall state "certain other essential
things. From the date of recording of
such certificate, if tin rtlfloate be of
the first class named in Bastion - ol Ihis
act, and from the date of letters patent
If of the second class, the said re-char-len
,1 corporation shall be and exist as
a new corporation under the provisions
of iiiis Act, and of Its said renewed
charter."
Thus you win perceive that the re-chartering
of a corporation must pro-ceed
entirely upon the same lines as
the formation of a new corporation,
and Seotiou 8 of the Act requires that
the C.rtilicate of Incorporation shall be
recorded in the office of the Recorder of
Deeds in that County where the chid
operations of the Corporation are to be
can led on. Therefore, there Is no ana-logy
between the re-chnrtering of the
corporation under the provisions of this
Act, and the acceptance of the Act by
a corporation whose charter has not
expired, and In the latter ease, there is
no certificate of Incorporation which
could be recorded, and therefore, as
then is nothing tO record, the provis-ion
can have no application. The
writing evidencing tiie acceptance is
required to be filed In the olllce of I he
Secntaiy of the Commonwealth, and
1 hen it remains, und it could not be re-corded
in the office of the Recorder of
Deeds of Montgomery County, however
much we might desire to do so. Upon
the tiling of this writing of acceptance
and Its approval by the Governor, the
Conshohocken Qas ami Water Company
thereby became "entitled to all the
privileges, immunities, franchises and
powers" conferred by the Corporation
Act of 1874, and among them was the
exclusive prvllege of supplying watei
10 the Borough of Coasholioikin.
There are certain specilic things re-united
to he none by re-chartered cor-poration
1 recording the certificate
among them), and there are entirely
different things required for the accep-tance
by a corporation Of the provis-ions
of the Act of 1874. In accepting
the provisions of the Act of 1874 by an
existing corporation, nothing is re-qtilrid
to be done but to file In the of-llce
of the Secretary of the Common-wealth
a writing under the seal or the
corporation that It has accepted the
provisions of the Consttuiion and of
the Act of 1874, and as staled by the
Attorney General of the State, In IITH
opinion above referred to, that is all
ilu \it requires to be done, and that is
all that is necessary to be done. There-fore
as this writing bus been duly
tiled under the seal of the Company in
the office of the secretary of the com-nwealth,
and as this was don,- in
1888 ,ihe Conshohocken das nnd Water
company acquired the exclusive privi-lege
provided by the Corporaton Act,
to supply water to the Borough of Con-shohi.
cken, and Is entitled to exercise
and enforce that exclusive privilege
not only against a competing Water
Company, '"it against the Borough of
Conshohocken. who has heretofore
entered Into contracts with Hie Water
Company for n supply of water to its
citizens, and is now using the water,
and has, therefore, under the authori-ties
of the Supreme Court in the cases
of.
White v. The City of Meadvllle. 177
Pa. lilv.
Metsger v. The Borough of Beaver
Palis, ITS Pa. 1.
Carlisle OaH and Water Company v.
i arllale Water Company 188,Pn. .11.
exhausted its power to supply water,
ami the Water Company being still
willing to continue the supply of water,
the Borough has no legal right to erect
a < looting plant, ami would he enjoin-ed
from so doing.
As above slated, the contention of the
Borough Counsel is contradicted bv the
language of the Corporation Act, and
Is not In the slightest degree supported
by the case of Braddock Borough v.
lus Pi Water Company. Which is the
only case which they cite for their
authority, That was the case of the
Incorporation of a new water company
a short time before the Act of 1887.
Which there nfterabolisheil theexclnslve
privilege of water companies thereafter
incorporated, Now. being II new Com-pany,
It has no corporate existence
whatever under the provisions of the
Corporation Art until it recorded its
certificate lo the oUcs of the Recorder
of Heeds In the County where its chief
Operation! were carried on. It did nol
record their certificate until after the
Corporation Art had bean so amended
us to deprive water companies thereaf-ter
Incorporated, of their exclusive
privileges, and the Supreme Court held
in that case that the Water Company
bad acquired no corporate rights what-ever
until II recorded its certlliate,
about which there could have been no
reasonable ground of dispute under the
I'i'i'i ■ ■■ of the Act, ami therefore, as
at the time it recorded Its certificate,
