A VALID MORTGAGE.
That Held by the State Regents on
BaiIey's Property.

Judge Catlin yesterday granted the
application of Benjamin Bailey for an
order restraining Sheriff Johnson from
selling for delinquent taxes the old
Postoffice property on the northwest
corner Of Fourth and K streets.
As has been before stated the prop
erty was mortgaged to the Regents of
the State University Off $4,000, but
the Assessor and Supervisors refused to
recognize the mortgage and assessed
the property to Bailey on the ground
that the Regents could not legally lend
money thereon under the section of the
code which authorizes them to invest"
the university funds in productive
property.
Judge Catlin holds that to 'invest"
money means either by purchase or
lending, and that the loan was a valid
one. He also says:
From the facts it appears that
neither the State of California nor the
county of Sacramento, in 1895, had any
right to levy any tax against said prop
erty, and that the anticipated losses to
the State and county are like the fan
cied losses of other people who fail to
get what they ought not to have.
Let an order be entered enjoining
and restraining the defendant, F. T.
Johnson, from further advertising for
sale or selling the said lot for delin-
qeunt taxes"

A WHEELWAY IMPROVEMENT
New Path From Brighton Junction to
Perkins.
A Moonlight Run to the Latter Place
Laid Out for Thursday
Evening.

The Capital City Wheelmen's Con-
StructiOn Committee has cut a new
W heelway path that is great improve
ment to the Folsom wheelway 1t had
been found simply impossible to make
or keep a decent path from Brighton
Junction to Perkins Station, along the
county road. All the money expended
in that effort has been thrown away,
for the path and the road will mingle.
People persist in riding and driving ON
the path, and the sand and dust blow
upon and obstruct it. while horsemen
and stock cut it up. Besides, the road
way is to ill-defined to separate a path
from it.
Accordingly, new path has been cut
from the Junction to Perkins on the
east of the railroad track 1t leaves
the road at the Junction. crosses the tri-
angle of land in the 'V'' of the levees,
passes over the grade to the east of the
railway, and along a body of water at
that point, and thence to Perkins.
To effect this change fence had to be
set back forty feet for a quarter of a
mile, and t. c. Perkins gave the club
the right to run on his land thus
exposed, a kindness the members will
not be likely to forget. The new path
has been rough cut, and is now under
shovel work. The grade crossing will
be made on Monday, and the necessary
filling and bridging along the body Of
water referred to will be completed by
Thursday.
On Thursday evening, therefore, the
committee propose a moonlight open
ing run from the club rooms to Perkins
Station and back. Ii will then be the
full of the moon, and it is the intention
to mark the way beside with quarter
mile coored signal lanterns, more by
the way of ornamentation than any
thing else. The request will he made
that every rider carry a colored lantern
on the occasion. The run will start at
7:30 on Thursday evening from Ninth
street between j and K, and at about
Z 40 from Thirty first and J, and VIII be
under the direction of the Construction
Committee.
Lady riders are asked to be of the
party. 1t will be all easy and careful
run, and the gentlemen say they will
see to it that no ladies come to harm
or are without escort. Wheelmen and
wheelwomen not members of the club
will be welcome and are invited to join
in the run, but to appear at the head
quarters and give their names that the
committee may see to it that no object
ionable characters intrude.
Yellow ribbons will be on hand for all
who wish to become Patrons of the
Wheelway," and it is hoped that very
many who have not yet become patrons
will do so on that occasion. When
wheelmen and wheelwomen reflect, say
the committee, that the sum of nearly
500 additional is expended now in this
short stretch Improvement for their ben
eft, to make handsome connected run
to Folsom. they Will, the committee
think, gladly contribute their mites"
to meet the expense and keep alive

In some cases these utilities have been

He cited the case of Glasgow, whlch
has proceeded on the line of the sug-
gestions in the committee report. Ihe

sential patents; why should 1T not De

H Weinstock thought, after long
study he had given to the subject tnat
in some directions the scheme was feas-
ible; confined to cities it was practica-
BILE and just Beyond that, as applied
not-not now, at least. He went over
the objections to the report, and con-
ceded those that are strong, and pointed
out weaknesses he saw in others he
showed that in several respects, in this
country and in Europe. the idea OF the
committee is in operation successfully,
and instanced examples in Enghsh
cities and some in America. But With
out civil service, the plan would be
ineffective and tend to dangerous CEN
traliZation. If voters are Indifferent TO
political duties to-day, city ownership
would quicken in them individual in

Mr.. Woodson suggested that the
scheme might be destructive Of indi-
viduality. Great enterprises are sell
dom if ever promoted by COM
munities. The great advances have
been made by individual enter
prise. Competition should not be
crushed out, and ambition among men
killed off by the dead level of commu-
nifty ownership. There are directions in
which city ownership may be and is
advisable, but these are few.
Mr.. Beckwith was unalterably Op-
posed to the report. He had tried to
find defenses for socialized public
works, but was unable TO convince him.
self of their wisdom. Mr.. Carmichael
was between wind and water. and
wanted time to study and think over
the proposition and examine the in
stances of trial alleged to have been
made.
Mr.. Julian treated the matter in the
light Of reduced taxation, and Mr.. Holl
with the fear that when the level of
cost had been reached there would be
no public disposition to improve or en-
large service, and that. after all, the
reduction of taxes would be more ap-
parent than real, as cost of operation
would be in the nature of poll tax
The Chairman again announced the
desire of the committee to have all pos
sible objections raised and debated,
that all arguments for the report might
be brought out and all instances of it's
trial cited. He again referred to the
proposition in the San Francisco new
charter as being before that public. The
debate was then postponed until the
next meeting. 1t was a calm and cool
debate very interesting and very in
