On that memorable occasion Mr.
PIimsoll, heart+ick at the postpone

possibly for ever, of a measure which
he had passionately advocated for
years, implored Mr.. Disraeli to de-

human beings to u miserable death.

wives made widows aud their chill

with the expression of a hope that

replied the undauuted Member for
Derby, advancing to the foot Of the
table, "and ] don't mean TO withdraw

BETTER THAN WAUKESHA.
Analysis Proves the Coronado
Water Better Than the Famous

When it was reported some time ago that the
water developed by the Coronado Water Com
paLy, San Diego county, was OF exceptional
purity, and contained medicinal qualities, not
much need WIS given 10 the report I. did not
strike the average reader with lorce enough to
overcome the inertia of his indifference. A
lit later the subject was again brought to pub
lie attention by the statement of those who. az
guests at the Hotel del Coronado, had ex-
perienced benefit from the use Of the water as
beverage. The effects noted from the use OF
this water were similar to those obtained
from the use of the famous Bethesda
water at Waukesha. Wis. The effects were
SO marked as to prompt investigation and
analysis. The analysis was made by Prof
wheeler of Chicago. a chemist whose skill
cannot be questioned. The results of this anal
ysis are published herewith in comp irison
with an analysis of the Waukesha water. 1t
will be seen that the Coronado water is even
better than the Waukesha, the organic matter
of the former being near,y 40 per cent less
in the latter. This enhances the purity OF the
Coronado water, and with the medicinal ele
ments it contains makes it OF great value. A
large portion of San Diego as well IS Coronado
Beach is supplied with the water from these
Otay springs There seems to be no limit to
the quantity that may be gotten from this
source 1t is a big card for del Coronado to be
able to guarantee its que, is an unlimited SUP
ply of better than Waukesha water. 1t is
pure, bright and palatable.

ASSESSMENTS ON MORTGAGES.
Must Not be Larger than the Vaiu'
Of the Lot.

Must Not be Larger than the Value
of the Lot.
When the city taxes became due the
German Savings and Loan Society OF San
Francisco objected to paying some OF the
amounts charged to it, on the ground that
the tax levy on the real estate on which
it's mortgages were placed was smaller
than the amount for which it was as
assessed. For instance, one lot was as
seseed for 81 600, on which the society
had loaned $4,000. The difference, or
5000, was assessed as an excess in money,
and on this the society refused to pay,
rendering the taxes on 81 900. The
matter was referred to the City Attorney
and yesterday in the City Council he
rendered an opinion to the following
effect:
You have referred to me communica-
ton stating that the German Savings and
Loan Society of San Francisco has re-
fused to pay certain taxes where the as
sessed value of their mortgages is greater
than the assessed value of the property
upon which they are lien. The ordi-
nances of this city and the constitution
and statutes of this State provide that q
mortgage by which debt is secured
shall for the purposes of assessment and
taxation be deemed and treated as an
interest in the property affected thereby.
Being thus treated as an interest in the
land, that interest cannot be greater
than the land itself. Another rea-
son why the tax in excess of
the value of the property cannot be col
lected is that the law recognizes no such
taxable property as an excess; neither is
this an amount of money, as it is as
sessed. 1t is credit, and consequently
personal property of such kind that it
cannot be assessed except at the resi-
dence of the owner, which in this case is
| in the city of San Francisco. I am of the
opinion that the Tax Collector should in
this case receive the amount of tax upon
the amount of the assessed value of real
estate upon which each mortgage is q
lien, and that no steps be taken as to the
sale of the property for the tax upon the
amount assessed as an excess or as
money.
