THE DUPONT-STREET TAX.
Suit by the Luning Company to Have
IL Set Aside

The time-honored question OF the Du-
pont-street, Commission of 1876 has been
raked up again, and one more appeal
against the tax levy of 1892 has been placed
on file.
This time it is in the shape of an action
brought by the Luning corporation against
Tax Collector James n. Block and the city
and county of San Francisco
The story is we'll known to old residents
of the city. In 1876 a Board of Dupont
street Commissioners was organized to
make certain improvements in that quar-
ter, the chief object being the widening of
tile street. 1t was represented that the
enhanced value of the property in the dis
trict resulting from these imprOveme en- ts
would be S796, ,S73, and the cost of making
the said improvements S914,941. So the
Commissioners issued 1000 bonds of $1,000
each. payable in twenty years. time, and
bearing interest at per cent, with forty
coupons at $35 attached.
The Luning Company claims, as others
have claimed before-the case having been
fought in and out of the Supreme Court
Tor the past fifteen years-that the bonds
Delng issued in excess of the sum author
lied, to wit: S914, ,941, are void and illegal.
And IN 1892 the Supervisors passed an
order levy!ng a tax 10 enable the commits
sion to pay interest on the bonds at the
rate of per cent up to June 80, 1893 By
this levy prOperty-holder in the distri ct
were assessed at the rate of S13 81 per S1OO
on the enhanced value of their property.
The assessment levied on thetLunin 2
estate amounted to S1037 20. hut the COM
pany has steadfastly refused to pay. 1t is
claimed that the tax levy was in excess of
Ia levy sufficient to satisfy the unredeemed
bonds. Therefore. the Luning Company,
being threatened with execution by reason
of its refusal to pay, institutes proceed
ings for an Injunction against Tax Col.
lector Block and to have the alleged illega
tax set aside.

JOHNNY'S GARDEN.
A PRINTERS STORY.

Johnny has been seized with passion
for gardening. They have a garden down
at Georges which is about as big as
pocket handkerchief and it seemed to have
a great attraction for him. He hung over
the fence every time he went by, 20 the
imminent peril of the pickets, and talked
with Georges wife as she dug and planted
until George began 10 josh him about
being jealous and all that. But Johnny
didn't care, and after awhile he announced
that he was going to have garden of his
own.
"Where'll You have it. kidP" queried
slug 8. for he knew that where the boy
lodged he had an inside room with sky
light. Intend to build on the roof?"
"Oh, no." said Maginnis, "he'll plant
something back there behind the door
where he has got all that dirt stored up"
johnny isn't as neat about his sweeping
as he might be, but he has no sense of
shame in the matter.
Not much," he answered. 'Pm going
to have box out on that window-ledge,
and Georges wife is going to give me some
pansies."
We made good deal of fun of him. but

1t is long way up and likely TO be warm

there is plenty OF water to be found in
pools every few hundred feet.

aDO ut the way to get there. But the seem
cry is grand every step of the way and in
creases the higher up ons goes.
The trip up is six miles, but if you make
it in five hours you are doing good 1t Is
not easy to find even when you are right
on top of 1t because there are so many
cliffs and buttes around that it is not seen
IN moment.
The first signs of it are some large blue
powders of soft formation, apparently
slate and mica, that are scattered over the
floor of the canyon and in some places
form the floor itself.
The grntto i3 really in the wall of the
canyon. 1t is about $50 feet long and so
wide at the opening, but gradually narro ws
as it goes back. At the farther end there
is waterfall of about ten feet that keeps
the inside of the cave flooded to depth of
about fifteen feet Part of the cave is
open at the top. hut the waterfall is deep
under the roof Of the cave. The walls OF
the cave are probably forty feet high.
The rock formation is not much to
speak of, but the effect of the interior is
dazzling. The walls of the cave being
blue, the water in the bottom rejecting
the blue sky in return throws the blue re-
Election against the blue walls, where it is
caught by the bits of mica and reflected
over and over again until the effect pro-
duced is like cave OF amethyst. Gazing
into it for few moments produces feel
ing of giddness.
A turn In the canyon few hundred feet
farther MP brings to view a side OF noun
tain from the base TO the top. At one
glance can be seen the whole side of 5000
feet, with the different stages of vegeta-
ton. At the bottom the cotton woods and
sycamOres, little higher the scrub oaks
and cedars. and then the pines that reach
to the neak. This mountain side is very
steep and it is doubtful if such another
view exists in the world.

Upon the terrace where the mill stood
was cart and horse, and in the road

it was so amazingly small that its sur

Kuenzler is a shabbily attired fellow,

Other arrests are not unlikely after the
