although he had landed interests in some
county south of there.

Disgraceful Condition of Some of the
AIIeys-Disregard of the Law.
Sanitary and Building Inspector Starr
has received numerous communications
lately concerning the condition of alleys.
He saws the streets are in such condition,
on account of the rains, thar teams cannot
be got 10 cart off the rubbish.
The chief cause of complaint is concern
ing the manure which is thrown from
stables into the alleys. The ordinance
says that waste matter, such as rubbish,
manure, etc, shall not be thrown into the
alley-ways. but that boxes shall be pro-
vided. extending not more than four feet
into the passage ways, and the offal must
be thrown into this.

They Do Sometimes.

There is an old and oft-quoted legend to
the effect thst office-holders sometimes die.
but never resign. 1t may be the rule, but
there are sometimes notable exceptions.
For instance, Bank Commissioner James
A. Thompson has forwarded to the Gov
ernor his resignation, with the intention of
accepting the position of Cashier of Fairs
new bank, in San Francisco.
The resignation Of Senator Wilson, of
that city, has also been received, but he re-
signs merely to take another Office, that of
State Insurance Commissioner.

ONCE PAID, 1T STAYS.
Money Paid Into the Treasury for Taxes
Can't be Got Out.

MONEY lHlO liC AOA AaACn
Can't be Got Out.
A few days ago J. E. Bigelow, who re-
sides near Brighton, appeared before the
Board of Supervisors and asked to be re-
paid a certain sum of money which he
claimed had been assessed on his property.
The Board submitted the matter to District
Attorney Bruner, who yesterday handed in
the following opinion:
To the Board Of Supervisors Of Sacramento
County, GENTLEMEN: A claim has been filed
against the county of Sacramento, asking your
Board to refund taxes, already paid, on the
ground that the assessment was excessive No
other reason is given why the demand should
be paid. similar demand was made against
the county year ago, and on January 4. 1889, !
gave you my opinion that there was no merit in
the claim, and that the Board had no power to
refund the tax
But it is now claimed that Section 1904 of the
Political Code as amended in 1889, does give the
Board such power, but in my opinion such is not
the case. The only amendment made to Section
3s0i relates to the manner OF recovering moneys
from the State Treasury, where taxes had been
enormously and Illegally collected.
there lore adhere to nay formor opinion and
advise that the claims referred to be rejected
Respectfully submitted,
ELWOOD BRUNER, District Attorney.
