The City Attbrney submitted the following ruling by the Attorney General
in the matter of truck ttw asportation within the City of Rochester, which was read,
and President Liudle ordered that the same be placed on file:
"STATE OF MINNESOTA LEGAL DEPARTMENT
St. Paul
November 28,1928.
James T. Spillane, Esq.,
City Attorney,
Rochester, Minnesota,
Dear Sir:
• I
Your letter of the 21st inst., addressed to the attorney
general, has been referred to me for attention.
You state:
"At the last meeting of the Common Council I was instructed
to prepare an ordinance that would prohibit trucks holding
certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission of Minnesota from making any deliveries by
such trucks in the City of Rochester. It is the contention of
some of the members of the Council that such treks should be
required to haul merchandise only into the terminal here in the
City from which it will be picked up by local transfer companies
and delivered to its destination.
It occurred to the writer that suen an ordinance would be
invalid because it would discriminate against the company holding
a certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission. Will you kindly give me an opinion
as to this matter?"
In my opinion such ordinance would be invalid, first, because
it would unlawfully discriminate between companies' operat ng under a
certificate of pubfie convenience and necessity granted them by the
railroad and warehouse commission and other companies not possessing
such a certificate. Such a classification rests upon no reasonable
basis and would be arbitrary and capricious; second, while a city has
power to take reasonable regulations governing the use of its highways
the city is without power to prohibit vehicles from operating over its
h ighways .
Under Sec, 18, Chapter 185, Laws 1925, the act relating t c motor
bus transportation, yft will note that the provisions of that act are not
to be construed as taking from or curtailing the right of any city or
village to regulate and control the routing, parking, speed, or safety
of operation of a motor vehicle operated by a transport&tion company.
Your proposed ordinance, however, seeks to prohibit such vehicles from
operating at all through the streets of the city. Clearly this can not
be done,
You.La trulY,
John F. Bonner
JFB-B Assistant Attorney General "

Upon motion by Rommel, second by Schroeder, the matter of the
control of truck transportation within the City of Rochester, Minnesota,
was referred/tokthe City Attorney with instructions that'he draft an

Second Street Southwest, Center Street East and West, and Seventh Avenue
Southwest, with special reference to the condition that exists on First
Street Southwest at the High School and Central School, they offering all
of the cooperation possible in the elimination of the danger caused by
the absolute disregard by automobile drivers of the traffic signs around
the local school buildings and the right of the school children as
pedestrians.
Upon motion by Erickson, second by Hicks, the e-uplaint of the

delayed tc, such an extent 'hat we were obliged to stop opera-
t ions . Later, forty-nine (49) drums vttf iller were shipped to
us from LaCrosse by local freight without any order from this
department to do so, and for this forty-nine (49) drums we are
billed thirty-four dollars and eighty cents (34,80) per ton as
against a price of twenty-six dollars -,and ten cents ($26.10) per
ton as the price was made. Later a carload of mixed material
was delivered, from which we took fifty (50) drums. This lift*
(60),drums was billed at twenty-six dollars ana ten cents ($26.10)
per ton, which is acceptable.
In order to get to a settlementi, I am proceeding
