L. A. w. NATIONAL ASSEMBLE.
sec.-Treas. Richardson win Represent
Maine at Baltimore Next week-Some
Facts About 1t.


Maine at Baltimore Next WHOLESOME
Facts About 1t.
The annual national assembly of the
League of American w heelmen beoin at
Baltimore next Monday, and will con
tinue in session for three days. There
will be present 176 delegates. Maine is
entitled to one delegate at large. Ex-
Chief James e. Marrett was elected to
this position at the last meeting of the
Maine division, but will be unable to
go. The chief consul, vice consul and
secretary treasurer Of the state division,
are delegates ex-offcio. Secretary Urea
surer Percy H. Richardson, OF this city,
will represent Maine at the Baltimore
meeting. He will leave here next Satur-
day.
The great contest of this year will be
as to whether the L. A. W. shall retain
control of the racing or not. Many are
opposed to it on the ground that it oc-
cupies too much of the attention of the
league to the detriment of more import
ant matters, good roads, etc.
Those in favor of eetaining the control,
contend that the racing is an important
part of cycling and should be in control
of the league rather than allowed to be
controlled by some other organization
Probably it will be decided that the
league shall retain control. Mr. Richard
son says that he shall vote in favor of
that with the condif;iop that (1Iacc r
shall be either abolished or put into the
professional ranks with Glass G.
AS it is now. Glass B riders are those
who are paid by manufacturers whose
wheels they ride. They are really pro-
fessionals who are allowed to enter with
the amateurs. There will of course DO a
big contest as to the presidency and also
as to the place of the next assembly. To-
ledo and Louisville are the rival cities.

The act of 1883, as amended in 1888
(Stats. of 1893, p. 59) and under which
the proceedings were had. was again
amended in 1896 (Stats. of 1895, p. 203.)
The effect Of this amendment was to
deprive the city council of all power
to issue refunding bonds, except in ac-
cordance with it's terms; and the lat
ter act is the sole authority by which
to determine the power of municipal
ity to issue any refunding bonds, as
well as the mode by which that pow
er is to be exercised. This act was
adopted March 27, 1895, and took effect
Immediately, and although the cleo
tion by the voters of Los Angeles was
held March 81, 1895, the vote was not
canvassed until April 1st and the or
dinance for the issue of the bonds was
not adopted until April sth. AS no
contract had been entered into, and no
vested right had accrued by reason of
the steps that had been taken for the
issuance of these bonds, the effect of
the act of 1895 was to repeal all of the
provisions for their issuance that were
not preserved in the amended act, and
to render nugatory all the steps that
had been taken by virtue of those pro-
visions. damb V. Schottler, 81 Cal,
319) Under the act as thus amended
no election by the voters is required as
q preliminary Step, DuI Ine governing
body of the city is empowered to refund
the outstanding Indebtedness and issue
bonds therefor by vote of four fifths
of it's members The validity of the
election is. therefore. not involved, and
as the act conferred no authority to
sell the bonds when issued, except in
special instances, there can be no addi-
tional liability created by the mere is
suance of the bonds.
To entitle the petitioner to a writ of
mandate against the respondent it was
necessary to set forth in it's petition
all the facts which rendered it his duty
to sign the bonds. This duty did not
exist unless the ordinance for their is
suance had been adopted by a vote of
four-fifths of the members of the city
council, and the petition should have
so stated. AS the adoption of an ordi-
nance for the issuance of bonds would
not give any validity to the bonds or
authorize their issuance, unless the or
dinance was adopted by the requisite
vote, the mere averment that the city
council adopted an ordinance provid-
ing for the issuance of said bonds does
not sufficiently show that the ordi-
nance was passed in accordance with
the requirements of the statute, or that
it was incumbent upon the respondent
to sign the same.
