But Payment Delay ed for Twenty Years.
Still Unpaid.
Mrs. Estrella Lies has petitioned the
Board of Supervisors to order the payment
to her OF an 5000 claim which she has held
against the city for many years. The story
Of this claim briefly told Is this: In 1872 her
husband, Eugene Lies, and Eugene Sulli-
van were equal owners in the west half of
50-vara lot II. on the north side of jackson
street. between Montgomery and Kearny.
When Montgomery avenue was opened this
lot WAS taken and the damage assessed at
Sl6,161 Sullivan presented his claim and
got his money. Lies claim, however, by
some little irregularity, hung fire, and when
1t was finally accredited and presented paw
nent was refused because of no funds.
Many years later the whole proceeding of
the Board Of Public Works in the opening
Of Montgomery avenue was declared void
by the Supreme Court. which snuffed out
the last spark of life in the Lies claim. But
the city still has the property. Lies died
eleven years ago. and his widow has been
ever since trying to get the claim recognized.
The Legislature approved bill rejuvenating
1t, but the Governor killed Ii. She now
appeals to the Supervisors to recognize its
justice and order 10 paid.
