had been made, and that no bid which
could be accepted had been made there
under. A second advertisement for
bids had been published, and that the
time for the opening Of bids thereundey
had not arrived. Thus showing that
the treasurer had not exhausted all
means at his command to procure the
bid.
The act under which the bonds were
issued provides that all proceeds Of the
sale be applied TO the purposes specified
in the order for the issuance OF the
bonds, and that therefore no part of the
proceeds of the sale Of the bonds could
be applied to the payment OF q commits
sion for the procuring of bid by the
plaintiff; that the payment of this de-
mand to plaintiff would in effect be a
payment of such commission out OF such
proceeds, and notwithstanding the
money might be paid out OF some other
fund, and as the payment could not be
made directly out OF the proceeds,
neither could it be paid indirectly out Of
any other fnnd.

FRUIT PEDDLERS' ORDINANCE.
The amended ordinance for regulating
the movements of peddIers' and
hucksters' wagons in the busi-
ness portion of the city was
next read. This ordinance is precisely
the same as the old one, except that it
extends the district in which wagons
are prohibited from standing, two blocks
southwark on Broadway, Spring and
Main streets.
Mr.. Summerland offered an amend
ment by which peddlers and hucksters
be allowed three-minute stand in one
place, provided they are hailed by pur-
chasers.
Several peddlers and fruit stand pro-
prietors were heard on the matter pro
and con.
Mr.. Nickel declared that he consid-
cred the old ordinance, as we'll as the
new one, a means for giving a monopoly
of fruit selling in the busiest portion of
the city to the fruit stands to the exclu-
sion of peddlers and hucksters.
Mr.. McGarry spoke for the Summer
land amendment, which then came to a
vote and was carried by a vote of ayes
to noes.
With the three-minute proviso the
new ordinance extending the district
two blocks was then passed unanimous
ly.

TAX ASSESSMENTS.

An Important Opinion From the Su-
preme Court.
The supreme court yesterday filed an
important opinion bearing on tax as
sessments in this state. 1t is given be-
low:
Parker Dear, appellant, vs.. E. w.
Weineke, respondent. This action was
brought to recover certain taxes claimed
to have been paid under duress, and
which it is declared by appellant, were
not collectable by reason of the assess
ment being invalid.
The individual whose personal proper
ty was assessed gave list of it in de-
tail, as he states in his complaint, to
the assessor, but that official did not
list the property in detail, but made
this entry in the assessment book:
"Value of personal property, exclusive
of money and solvent credits, $15, 1925"
The complaint is demurred to as not
stating facts sufficient to constitute a
cause OF action. The demurrer was sus-
tanned, and the plaintiff not desiring to
amend his complaint, judgment passed
for the defendant, from which the pres
ent appeal is prosecuted.
The only question involved is
whether the form of the assessment set
out in the assessors book was sufficient,
under section $3.50 of the political code,
and that it was sufficient is in effect
decided in San Francisco VS.. Pennis,
1928 (29 Pac. Rep. 66.) and upon the
authority of that case the judgment
must be and is affirmed.
Mr.. J. P. Blaize, an extensive real es-
tate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, mar
rowly escaped one of the severest at
tacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of the state during a recent
blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr..
Blaize had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was 80 thor
oughly chilled that he was unable to
get warm, and inside of hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug
store and got bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number of large doses,
He says the effect was wonderful and
that in short time he was breathing
quite easily. He kept on taking the
medicine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize regards
his cure as simply wonderful. SO cent
