The record-union., 1891-03-18

Mr.. Shanahan moved to reconsider the
vote by which s. B. $50 was lost on Mon
day. The measure empowers parties
whose private property was taken for the
opening of Montgomery avenue, San
Francisco, and who have never been rec
compensed for the same, to bring suit
against the city and county for the
amount of the award remaining unpaid.
The measure especially applies to single
case, when the city has held the deed ever
since the avenue was opened, but the
award, $4,000, has never been paid. The
bill was passed by vote of ayes 55,
noes 3.
Substitute for A. B. 542, to provide for
sanitary districts, and the levying and
collection of taxes therein, was then
taken up, on motion of Mr.. Culver, read
the third time and passed by vote of
ayes AZ, noes 0.
