    GEORGE C. GAULD, Appellant, v. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO et al., Respondents.
    Certiorari—Proceedings op Supervisors—Proposed Grant op Franchise.—Certiorari is not the proper remedy to review the proceedings- of a hoard of supervisors in the matter of a proposed grant of a telephone franchise, while the proceedings are in fieri, and no final action of the board had been had when the application for the writ was made.
    Id.—Office op Writ—Restraining Order.—The office of the writ of review is in no sense that of a restraining order, but only to annul; and until the proceedings have culminated in a final order there is nothing to annul.
