Foundlfng's Home.

Eds Record Union: New Years
Eve was a very happy time at the
Foundlings Home. Mrs. Shaw, the Ma
tron, had dressed the children in their
best, and their robust forms and shin
ing faces were a great contrast to the
picture given of the children in this in
stitution a few days ago.
Mrs. Clayton, President of the Board
of Managers, and Mrs. Deming, the
Vice-President, with number of
friends of the institution, were present
to witness the distribution of the pres
ents and share in the joy Of the little
ones. The merchants and friends in the
city had sent in a large number of pres
ents and the Christmas tree was thing
of beauty. A musical programme by
the children preceded the distribution of
the presents. It was much enjoyed by
the audience.
No one could have been present and
seen the clean and well-kept appear
ance of the children, the bountiful sup
ply of presents. and the delight with
which each gift was received without
being impressed as was the writer that
the Foundlings' Home was a Christian
institution, and that the Christ spirit
pervaded its management.

that the officers of the city could not
make a contract on its behalf for the
payment of interest for any further
time. That the special funds set aside
for the purpose of liQuidating this debt
could only be used for the payment of
the principal and the interest as rep
resented by the coupons
1t has been twice held by our Supreme
Court that interest could not be col
lected upon overdue coupons created
80 Cal 552, and Davis VS. City of Sac
ramento, 80 Cal. 562)
can see no distilAction between such
case and this. In one case the interest
was due and unpaid, the coupon had
matured, the owner was entitled to the
money represented by it, In the other
the bond had matured-the holder was
entitled to his money. The liability to
pay in one instance was as strong as in
the other. Why should the one bear in
teIest and not the other?
In the case of Bates VS.. Gerber, just
cited, Justice Fox, in concurring opin-
ion, takes the ground that these bonds
do not bear interest, and while his opin-
Ion in this respect becomes only dicta,
from the fact that this question was not
raised in that case, yet still it is enti-
tied to great weight because, that in or
der to reach the conclusion that the
coupons did not bear interest, he, by
sound reason, arrived at the conclu-
sion that the bonds themselves did not
bear interest.
In doing so, he quotes from our Su-
preme Court in the case of Sober VS.. Su-
pervisors of Calaveras County (39 Cal.
134): when no provision is made in a
funding statute for the payment of in
terest after the bonds issued under it
have become DUE no interest will ac-
crue thereon after that date" Again,
he cites the same court in Beals vs.
Supervisors of Calaveras County (2S
Cal. 450), as follows: There is no ex-
press contract to pay interest, and no
rule of law independent of statutory
provisions that would require interest
to be paid"
Here no provision was made for the
payment Of such interest. On the con-
trary, every intendment of the Act goes
to show that such interest was not in
tended to be paid. l cannot see why
petitioner can here expect to recover
any other interest upon his principal ex-
cept that represented by coupons.
Again, as before stated. the annual
interest upon the bonds were to be rep
resented by the coupons. When the
coupons became exhausted the interest
specified in the Act ceased, and if the
interest claimed by the petitioner arises
from an implied contract to pay inter-
est on the principal still suit could not
lie in this case, for it is expressly stated
in the Act that the funds out of which
he here seeks payment can be used only
for the payment of the principal and in
terest named in the Act; that is, the in
terest represented by the coupons, and
such funds are not available for any
debt arising upon an implied contract.
The demurrer to the complaint will be
sustained.

LARGE LAND SALES.

w. H. Mills reports large sales of tim
