Over $500 Said to Have Been
Gathered In by Secretary
Godchaux.
DONE WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF LAW.
The Acting Mayor Intimates That
he Has a Rod in Pickle for
Others.

As the result OF the Investigations made
thl, week Acting May or Rottanzi will on
Tuesday next present a report 20 the
Board of Supervisors charging, among
other things, that the Board OF Health
has been collecting fees illegally for year
past.
This. Dr. Rottan ri stated yesterday when
asked about the matter, was done without
authority of law and without a shadow of
excuse. He charges that it was Aone will
tu ly and with full knowledge OF the
ilIeg gality of the proceeding.
He further charges that there is $500 in
the hands of the board to which it has no
right and which was taken from people on
the representation that they were paying
plumbers licenses, etc.
Early in the week the investigating Of
fetal heard that be Board OF Health was
collecting fees from different individu uals.
Knowing of no ordinance that permitted
It's members to do this, he called at the
office of the board and had an interesting
interview with Secretary Godchaux.
His inquiry as to whether fees were be-
ing collected by that body was answered
in the affirmative. He asked on what
such action was based and was referred 10
an order that had been introduced in the
last Board of Supervisors.
At this juncture Rottanzi placed the
matter in the hands of his expert, Chris
Newman, for further investigation. New
man went 70 work at once and was soon
able to make a startling report to
his principal. The acting Mayor was in
formed that the ordinance in question
had been passed by the last board, but
had been vetoed by Mayor Phelan, and
that this veto had been sustained by the
present Board OF Supervisors.
Subsequent TO this it was ascertained
that the collection of these Illegal fees had
been going on since last July. when the
order was passed, and that the amount
collected aggregated $500. None of this
money, SO 1t is claimed by Ro,tanzi, has
been paid into the office OF the Treasurer.
The only money received by that official
from the Board Of Health is $500, which is
entered Up as special deposit.
When the acting Mayor asked Secretary
Godchaux why, at least, the moneys that
had been collected without authority oi
law had net been deposited TO the credit
OF the City he replied that it was kept in
the hands of the Board of Health III case
there should be any demand made for il.
In closing the interview DR.. Rottanzi
said, And there are others" He init.
mated tnat his report will be a severe ar
raignment of many of the City and County
officers

Sufragists Propose to Inculcate
Their Principles in School
Children.
Novel and Interesting Plan for the
Development of Interest in
Government.

BERKELEY. CAL. July 2.-Mrs. George
w. Haight, president OF the Citizens Suf-
frage League of this college town, has pro-
posed novel and interesting scheme for
the study OF municipal government by
the pupils of the public schools. This
plan is similar to the one recently In
vogue at Santa Rosa and efforts will be
made to introduce it in the Berkeley
schools.
A large class in civil government was
formed. W hich was afterward organized
into a regular municipal corporation.
AT er adopting the charter of Santa Rosa,
including paragraph giving women equal
suffrage with men, the class proceeded to
elect a Mayor, Auditor, City at orney,
Superintendent OF Streets. CCunc!lne n
and Clerk. A Police Department was also
organized.
For several months the children carried
through the routine OF city business after
the fashion of real government.
By introducing this system in the Berk-
eIey schools, the suffFagsts believe tha.
| they can incucate in the growing pupils
love for the duties of a citizen. at the
same time the suffragists believe they will
be laying deep and solid foundation for
the future of their cause, which will re-
sui: in the granting OF the voting iran
| chise to women.

Decorators have been at work on the

attractive appearance. Strings OF tiag'

There is a more general desire to make

SAN DIEGO
FINALLY Wins
End of the Celebrated Salt
Marsh and Tide Land
Case.
The Supreme Court Puts an
End to Klauber and Others
Litigation.
Some Fine Points Made as Regards
the Words Town" and "Oity,"
Used Legally.

The Board of Harbor Com missioners OF
San Diego Bay, T. ]. Higgins and large
mum Der of others can afford now to crow
in the full knowledge of a hard-earned
victory, for the celebrated tidewater land
case of that city which was decided in
their favor by the lower courts has been
affirmed by the Supreme Court, sitting In
bank. The opinion was written by Justice
Mcfarland and is important, inasmuch as
1t not only deals with the case in dispute,
making a final decision, but makes clearer
the meaning and relationship Of such
words as city and town when used In q
legal sense.
Abraham Kauber and eighteen others
brought suit against the defendants nam ed
In the foregoing for The possession OF eight
different State tideland surveys adjoining
one another, which lie between low and
high tide in the city of San Diego. The
appellants claim ed title thereto upon ap-
plication tor their purchase under gem
erai law of the State approved March 70,
1868, entitled, AN acs TO provide for the
management and sale OF lands belonging
to the State" which ac, commencing at
Sc ction % provides for the sale OF SWAN p
and overtioweu salt marsh and tide lands
belonging to the State, and upon patents
afterward issued upon such applications.
The Supreme Court holds to the opinion
that these lands were reserved from the
operation of said law On the ground that
the applications under which appellants
claim were not approved until Novem Der,
1871, ana no payments were made prior 10
tnat time, while on April 4, 1870, the Leg
islature amended section 20 OF the act, so
as to read "Ali the swamp and overhowed
salt marsh tidelands within one mile of
the State prison at San Quentin, within
five miles of the City and County OF San
Francisco. within five miles OF the cor
porate limits OF the city of Oakland and
WITHIN TWO miles of any town or village
are hereby excluded from the provisions
OF this act"
Then the appellants set up the claim
that this does not apply in the present in
stance, because San Diego is a city and
not a Town or village. The court thinks
this position untenable.
1t quotes authority freely to prove that
the word town is used to designate q
place where there are a number of ad-
jacent occupied dwellings, that it is a
municipal corporation organized under
the laws of different States, but in either
sense includes the meaning of the word
city unless used in some connection
which makes it obvious that such signifi-
cation was not intended.
1t is also averred that the respondents
were in possession of the land at the
commencement Of the action and that the
one in possession is always in o position
to contest the right of another claiming
under void patent. II was further men
toned that the Board Of Harbor Commits
sioners connect themselves directly with
the right OF the State TO the lands. Ac-
cordingly, the Judgment and order ap-
pealed from were affirmed.

Alameda Wants to Encourage Farmers
to Come Here to Trade.
ALAMEDA, CAL, July 2.-For some
time the project of having free market
in this city has been talked over. and at
last the idea has crystallized and an at
tempt will be made to carry it out The
success of the FREQ market in Oakland has
caused many Alameda business men to
desire that similar scneme shalt be in
augurated here. At present many Ala.
media people go 10 Oakland on the market
days ana much money is taken out of
the town. The plan is to have two mar
ket days week, as in Oakland, but to
have them on different dates so as not to
interfere with that place. By doing this
the farmers can attend TO both markets to
dispose of their produce, and it is believed
they will also patroniz4 the stores of this
city to considerable extent In return.
1t Is proposed to peiitlon the Board of
Trustees 10 grant a license for free mar
ket and to obtain some convenient place
where the necessary sheds may be erected
for the purpose. These need not be ex-
pensive and parties stand ready to erect
them in case the city taxes favorable ac-
