SHAG ROCK.
The City Must Pay "the Solid
Mines" Price for 1t.

Unless the Supreme Court differs with
Judge Sanderson Shag Rock is now the
property of the city, and $4,000, the price
which the "Solid Nine" agreed to pay to A.
w. Won Schmidt for the little lump of wave
washed land, must be turned over to him at
once. Judge Sanderson rendered judgment
in the case yesterday. granting Won Schmidt
a writ of mandate to compel City Treasurer
Widber to pay for the rock in accordance
with the "Solid Mines" resolution.
1t will be remembered that the rock was
purchased from Won Schmidt by the SOLID
Nine" just before the people returned the
aforesaid nine to oblivion. The new Board
Uf Supervisors rescinded the order of pur-
chase. and the City Treasurer refused to
pay the purchase money 10 the claimant.
Won Schmidt then applied for writ of
mandate to compel the city TO pay him.
Judge SanderSOn holds that V On SchmidtS
title TO the property was valid; that deed
for it was accepted by the city and the prop
erty was purchased as site for smallpox
hospital; that the purchase price for the
property was $4,000, and that the city and
county paid fOr the property by giving Won
Schmidt demand for $4,000 on the treas
ury; that. the amount was approved by the
Auditing Committee of Supervisors that
the money had been appropriated and set
aside Tor the purchase of hospital site. and
the warrant for the payment of the money
is not illegal.
The Court further held that the resolution
Of the Board of Supervisors resembling the
contract and purchase of the property was
illegal, as the board had not the power TO
take such action.
