The TwELFTH-sTREET BRIDGE. - The
Board Of Supervisors held a special session
Saturday morning to consider the proposal
OF J. b. Haggin to sell the Twelfth-street
bridge, over the American, to the county.
The bridge was erected in 1861. and had a
franchise for twenty-five years. A.P. Cat
lin gave the Board a verbal opinion to the
effect that the franchise had but a few
months to run, and the bridge would then,
under the law, belong to the county. He
cited the case of the Sacramento and Yolo
bridge as sustaining his position. Judge
.. Z. benson, who appeared tor Mr. Hag-
gin, stated that there was doubt whether
the franchise ran from the passage of the
Act granting it. or from the time the bridge
was finished. Mr.. Haggin did not wish to
charge people toll for space of time dur
ing which there was doubt as to his right
to Go so, nor to stop travel over the struct-
IRE, and would therefore sell it to the
county for $500, give immediate possession
and guarantee of title Judge benson
thought il would be q good thing to pur-
chase the bridge and make it free, especially
tor the city, as it would increase business
greatly. Supervisor Steinman stated that
he and some of the members with whom he
had conyersed on the subject desired to be

the ownership of the bridge and moved a
postponement Of action until the first
Monday in January. The motion was
adopted. Previous to that time Mr. Catlin
will furnish the Board written opinion
on the subject quoting authorities.

clearly, with dramatic force, and acts with
naturalness and deep feeling. The applause
accorded the lady was warm, sincere and
continued. Mr.. Niemeier, well known here
as an actor of sterling merit, gave thor
oughly good representation of Remy. The
support accorded by Eugenia Barbieri and
Messrs. Maret and Hisch was good, and the
further support was fair. Some fine new
scenery by Mr.. Wilkins was introduced.
