MILL VALLEY LAND AFFECTED
Nearing the End of Lorg Suit Over
Property Adjoining a Mexican
Grant.

A decision of the keenest interest to the
people of Mill Valley has been hqnded
down by the Supreme Court The deci-
sion was rendered IN a case involving
titles to land in the Rancho Corte dc
MADEIRA del Presidio.
The land in question was ST opposed to ba
included in grant from the MeIicsn Gov.
ernment in 1884 to Juan Reed. a patent
for the grant was issued to the heirs Of
Reed in 1885. Before the gram had DsSn
surveyed and determined, the ones from
whom the defendant. Gardner, and others
purchased secured a tract of land from
the Reed heirs which was supposed to be
in the grant. The survey upon which the
patent was issued was made in 1874 and
by 1t the lands purchased were excluded
from the grant.
In the meantime the plaintiff had filed
homestead entry on the land in dispute,
anu when one of the holders under pur-
chase from the Reed heirs made applica-
tion for purchase from the United States,
under an act which allows such purchase
by persons buying in good faith land not
really but supposed to be included in
grant, the plaintiff successfully opposed
the application for purchase. Then the
plaintiff applied for a patent under his
homestead entry and the Government
granted it.
Suit for possession was brought by
Monmouth, and after one trial and an sp-
peal the defendants filed an answer and
cross-com plant in which the court was
asked to declare that the plaintiff held
the land in trust for them. The plaintiff
demurred, and the demurrer was sus-
tanned, but the Supreme Court has re-
versed this decision and has ordered that
the demurrer be overruled with permis-
sion to the plaintiff to answer the cross
complaint if he saw fit.
In rendering its decision the Supreme
Court says it is an established rule that
whenever any patent is granted to man
under misapprehension by the United
States, court can, upon hearing of the
facts, decree that the land is held in trust
for those to whom it rightfuly belongs.
Continuing, the opinion says that the law
provides that when persons in good faith
purchase land OF Mexican grants, which
grants have subsequently been rejected, or
when the lands purchased are excluded
from the survey, and when the lands have
been used and improved and continued in
actual possession, and where no adverse
title but that of the United States exists,
then they have the right to purchase the
lands from the Government at the mini
mum price.
Continuing the opinion SAYS it is evi-
dent that F. Throckmorton, the appellant
was within the intention of this statute,
for he had purchased the land in good
faith had improved it, and was therefore
entitled to avail himself of the statute.
This decision is of the greatest interest
to many of the residents of Mill Valley,
for much OF the land in litigation lies in
the most available portion of the valley.
The decision just rendered points to a
settlement of the case in favor of the pur-
chasers from the Reid heirs.

Manufacturers Take the First

FREE LABOR CANNOT COMPETE.

sociation, in forwarding letter yesterday
to the Board of State Prison Directors ask

Streets That Are Badly in Need of
Improvement After the
Winters Rains.

The Fairmount section of the Mission is
making slow progress in the line of its i'm
provements. An occasional new house is
seen going up; but like other localities
the streets are in sad need of repairs.
Market-street extension, after years of
neglect, is now getting share of public
attention by having two blocks, from
Fifteenth street to Seventeenth, paved
with bitumen.
Seventeenth street, for two blocks east
and west of Market street, is receiving
similar treatment.
Sixteenth street. from Market for two
blocks on the porth side, is about to be
paved with bitumen, with granite curbiDg
for the sidewalk.
Similar Improvement is promised for
Nineteenth street. as the curbing is being
hauled for that street east of Castro. From
that point out to Army street, the end of
Castro, the street is in deplorable con-
dition. On both sides of the carsstracks tn e
late heavy rains carried away the greater
portion of the street, leaving the tracks
high in the center.
People conducting business at the end of
Castro street are complaining of lack of
IN enced to run into the valley by Eigh-
teenth street. The Twenty second,
Twenty fourth and the Twenty ninth-
street cars go past the doors and the
valley storekeepers feel the loss of trade.
Hopes are entertained, however, that
before long the Market-street Company
will extend the Castro-street line from its
junction with Army, along that street to
Diamond and then continue on that street
over Castro heights to Mission street.
From Army it is said that the line will
be electric instead of cable. This will be
the means of opening up new residence
section, the equal of which cannot be sur
passed within the limits of the City and
County for climate and scenery.
One of the many things for which the
Fairmount improvement Club has been
asking is fire engine for the valley.
There is no engine nearer than Douglas
and Twenty-frst streets and Duncan be-
tween Sanchez and Church streets. These.
it is claimed, are too far away from the
southern end of the Fairmount district. as
was proved few months ago when a
house was burned to the ground on
Chenery street before an engine or hose
cart arrived upon the scene. To remedy
this drawback the Supervisors will be
asked to make provision in the next years s
levy for the construction of a house and
the equipment of company, to be located
on the rise of the hill about Thirtieth
street, so as to be near the Mission road
and College Hill district.
