t0GhL INTELLIGENCE.


the fact was mentioned that one Max Hans
meister had petitioned the Superior Court of
this county for writ OF mandate, to compel
the City Treasurer to apportion 50 per cent.
of the entire receipts of the city from all
sources of revenue, inclu1ing all the special
taxes, amounting to S2O9 900, into the sinking
and interest fund, for the benefit of the bond
creditors. The order was issued by Judge
Mcfarland, and made returnable yesterday
morning. At the appointed time City At
torneY Anderson and Messrs. McKure il
George made return in the form of a de-
murrer and motion to dismiss the writ and
proceedings. Judge Rosenbaum appeared for
the petitioner, and before the argument was
entered upon it wes understood that petitioner
would rely upon the sams questions that were
involved in The suits recently decided by
Judge McFarlsnd, and that they would pre-
sent additional authorities bearing upon the
case, which it was thought would change the
opinion of the Court. Counsel for the city
agreed to this, but claimed that they hal
other points of Law which, independently of
those involved in the former cases, would be
sufficient to warrant dismissal of the pro.
ceediugs. That there was abundant authority
to sustain the point that all the special taxes,
such as the school, levee, fire and police de-
partments, could not be diverted from the
purposes for which they were levied by the
legislative grant. After hearing the argu-
meats Of Rosenbaum for petitioner, and Nc.
Kune and Anderson for defendant, the
Court said that there had been nothing pre-.
sented which would change his opinion rem
dered in the cases of Myer vs. Gutenberger
ct al, and Roeding va. Gutenberger ct al. It
was therefore ordered that the demurrer be
sustained; that the motion to dismiss be
granted, and judgment entered for the de-
fendant. The petitioner will appeal from the
order and judgment Of the Court.
