brought by Mary Schlesinger against the
city to quiet her title to the 1921 acres of
land described and delineated on map of

map is recorded in book 81, page II, mis-
cellaneous records the Attorney reported
having examined an abstract of title OF
the property, and the enclosed atfidavits

THINKS THERE'S A BOOM ON
The Board of Education Will Hold Its
Property for a Raise
Raised the Secretary's Salary Last Night.
The Regular Proceedings of
the Board

Even the Board of Education thinks
there is going to be a boom; in fact it
was the sense of the meeting held by the
board last night that there would be a
boom, that it has already commenced and
that people with property had better hold
it for a raise.
J. f. Hunter came before the board to
know whether the school property be-
tween Broadway and Spring, Fifth and
Sixth streets could be purchased at a rea-
sonable figure.
The proposition seemed to strike the
board unawares and there was a very
much divided sentiment expressed on the
matter. The majority of the members of
the board, however, seemed to be against
tn selling of the property, and upon mo-
ton of DIR. Wells it was ordered that the
property be not sold.
Several of the members did not hesitate
to state that the reason they favored hold
ing the property was that it is sure to
rise in value, and that it is as good q spec
ulation as the city wants.
Mr.. Hunter stated he had a purchaser for
the property who, if he can secure it,
will build magnificent building upon it,
facing upon both Spring street and Broad
way.
The City Attorney sent a communica-
tion in regard to the preparation of a bill
to be presented to the Legislature, stating
that though the board had requested it,
the bill would conflict with the city char
ter. The communication was filed.
The report of the Superintendent of
Schools stated that the overcrowded con-
dition of our schools is cause of consid-
cradle trouble in readjusting our work for
the second semester. So far, however,
think all have been received, some having
20 go outside OF their own districts for ac-
comnodation.

DELINQUENT TAX SALES
Important Ruling by the Supreme Court In
Local Case

The Supreme Court in bank has reversed
the judgment and order denying new
trial, in the action of the San Francisco
and Fresno Land Company, plaintiff and
appellant, against ]. Banbury, as treasur-
er of Los Angeles county, and others.
The suit was based upon the following
facts. In June, 1892, the San Francisco
and Fresno Land Company owned 67 lots
in Mcpherson, then in Los Angeles county,
but now part of Orange. The lots had
been sold to the state for delinquent taxes
in 1889. For the purpose of redeeming
them the company rendered Banbury, as
County Treasurer, $225.60, which was
refused because the treasurer claimed an
extra sum of So per lot, which would
amount to $20l more, for giving the
notice of an intention to apply for deeds,
and the necessary atfidavits thereto fee
fixed by section 1885 of the political code.
The plaintiff than brought suit and lost
his case in the Superior Court.
In an opinion rendered by Justice Har-
rison sometime ago, he expressed the
belief that the amount rendered by the
company was sufficient for the purpose of
redeeming the lots, and that the treasurer
should have received the money and issued
the certificates. Justices Van Fleet and
Garoutte filed dissent based upon the
construction of the law, providing for the
acquisition of delinquent tax sales by the
state

grouno that no improvements existed at
the time of paying said assessment, the
City Assessor, having stated to the COM
mittee that the statements therein con-
tanned are correct the committee recon-
mended that the petition be granted and
that upon the filing of the proper demand
drawn upon the tax fund of 1S9394 the
sum of $5. 40 be returned to the petitioner.

sumer in the city, and state as a reason
that they are now constructing about one
mile OF tunnel below their headworks, and
laying lines of "a and 30-inch pipe into
the city at cost of $3.50, 600; and further
state that they are now serving the hill
districts with as good quality OF water as
the other portions of the city. They adj
nit that this expenditure is absolutely
necessary to be able to carry out their
part of the contract.
Your committee will claim that the
Water Company cannot now legally en-
force the collection of rate in excess
of the lowest rate to which they have con-
sented to establish Notwithstanding the
fact that the contract provides for higher
rate.
Therefore we recommend that the petit
ton be denied and that the ordinance
which we now present be adopted.
The ordinance which the committee
presented was adopted. 1t leaves the
rates just as they were before, and in fact
is an exact copy OF the ordinance in force
during the pasa wear.

Without His Wife, Lincoln Bible Thinks He Is

of Redondo, was exained for insanity yes

has been the inmate of an asylum be-

opinion that she was suffering from men,

hard, and that rest would probably prove
an excellent restorative. Mrs. Perkins

he labors under hallucinatons of various
kinds. Lately he has manifested an in
