TWELVE YEARS AFTER.
Judge Coffey Decides the Sylvester
Estate Matter.

Judge Coffey. who is spending the
greater part of his vacation in his cham
bers. has prepared his decision in the con-
test concerning the case of John Sylvester,
deceased.
Sylvester died in November. 1881, and
his executor shortly afterward prepared
statement of his estate, to which the
widow long afterward filed exception. j.
ID. Sullivan representa- TED the executor. and
maintained that the widow had no right to
contest an account filed so many years
ago. but Judge Coffey ruled otherwise and
took the estate in hand for the purpose of
ascertaining exactly how matters stood.
In his decision the Judge found the follow
ing amounts: Amount received by the
executor belonging to the estate. Scot 70;
amount allowed to executor as having been
paid, 1862 so; further allowed to the
execntor One-haIf of the judgment in the
suit of Cockburn vs.: Sylvester sss t, $3.50 10.

to honor him. At the end of a wear mis-
progress had been so satisfactory to his

aud presented him with a son. The son:

THE WATER RATES.
A Decision by the Supreme Court
Overdue


Ene decision of the Supreme Court in the
case of the Spring Valley Water Company
against the city and county of San Fran
cisco is expected daily. In fact it has been
looked for since last week. The point in
VOWED is the authority of the Mayor to
veto the water ordinance. This Is denied
by the water company, which is satisfied
with the rates fixed by the Board of Super
vlsors, but which Mayor Ebert returned to
that body without his approval.
Until the opinion of the Supreme Court
is handed down tits not certain that there
are any water. rates in existence. The
Spring Valley Water Company cannot at
present enforce their collection by legal
measures. 1t can, however, accomplish
the same result by cutting off the water
supply. AS water is necessity the better
way for consumers would be to pay their
bills on presentation. Ii the rates should
be lower than thOsg which the company
seeks'te enforce. il will have to credit the
householder with the difference. In any
event it will usually be found less bur-
densome to pay by the month than to allow
several months TO elapse and the amount
to multiply, not to speak # the inconveni-
.ence which would be caused by the cessa-
ton of the water supply.
