MUST PAY CITY TAXES.
Annexed Territory Must Pay for the
Benefits Derived. Says Judge
Hall.

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 4.-Judge Hall
decided this morning that the annexed
territory should pay taxes this year for
the benefits derived by its being part of
this city. The question was decided on
the application of w. R. Thomas for an
aftermath writ OF mandate against r. W..
Snow as City Assessor of the city of Oak
land, directing him to list upon the
a.sessment-roils OF The city for the year
1897 the territory annexed on June "A,
1897, and that he assess the same at its
actual cash value.
F. NJ. Parcel appeared for the Assessor
and attempted TO show that the law did
not conf EN- plate the assessment OF prop
erty by the city that was not a part it's
territory at noon on the first Monday in
March.
City Attorney Dow answered for Mayor
Thomas and cited the city charter and
general statutes applicable to the case and
then produ ced decisions going to show
that the law intended thai the property
owners should be assessed for protection
by police and fire del artments accorded
them. He also held that they becoming q
part of the city before the assessment rolls
were completed were subject to that
assessment.
Judge Hall gave his decision at once,
ann ouncing that he writ would issue.

+. NJ. Smith has built and which is al
most ready for operating. The vast ira lie
contemplated by Mr.. Smith is largely the
result of the increased duty on crude
borax provided by the new tariff bill.
f. NJ Smith makes it his boast that he
never divulges his plans until he is ready
to carry them out, and his subordinates
are likewise instructed, and so nothing
was known OF the mammoth undertaking
in the East until the local superintendent
was suddenly summoned there.
The new tariff has given great i'm
petus to the borax trade, and many
hands will soon be employed. The Ala
media factory employs about 100 people
and more will soon be added as there are
orders enough ahead to keep the plant
busy for more than year.
With his large refinery in Liverpool and
his New York and Alameda plants, the f.
trolls the borax trade of the world. The
tariff effectively shuts ont imported
borax, as the duty now is $50 per ton,
which is practically prohibItive.
1t Is understood from private dispatch
that eventually the Alameda works will
be shut down. This will not happen for
probably two years. This action is de-
MED to-day by the syndicates local rep
resentatives, who declare that the bust
ness requires that both should be kept
running.
The latest move of the borax king is re-
garded with great favor here. for Mr..
Smith controls millions invested in street
railroads and large blocks OF land in this
city, and it is reported that some extern
sive improvements will be undertaken as
soon as he comes West.

COS Bread way, Aug. 4.
A most daring attempt was made early
this morninr to set fire 10 the Lyons
Brewery al Haywards owned by Messrs
PalmtaC & Heyer
A thorough search of the premises made
after daylight showed that great care had
been taken in the preparation for firing
The building, and had it once started fairly
II would nave quickly been IN flames in a
dozen different places. Only to the sleep
lessness OF Miss Clara Walpert is due the
fact that the fire was discovered in time to
prevent any material damage.
About l O'Clock this morning Miss Wal
pert saw the ref 'cdon of flames through
the window OF her room. Her house is
directly across the road from the brewery,
and on going to the window the lady saw
ire elm bing up the side OF the brewery
Hastily attiring herself she rushed out
and with the aid OF weeds and dirt she
succeeded in subdUing the incipient fire,
which was com posed OF a stack OF rubbiS Ii
soaked with tar and coal oil. She at once
called Tor help and Mr.. Palmtag and sew
eral others were quickly on the scene and
had little trouble in completely extin-
gushing the blaze, which had merely
cnerred a small portion OF the brewery.
After daylight an inspection of the
premises was made, and it was discovered
that ali around the building for height
OF several feet tar and coal oil had been
! berally thrown, and in three or four
d fferent places sacks of saturated waste
were placed. 1t is very probable that
within a few minutes of Miss Walperl's
discovery all the sacks would have been
fired anu the flames have made great
Roadway before help could have arrived.
The pid appearance of the lady Violently
upset the plans, for no one was seen and
10 clew 10 the incendiary has yet been
found.
The town is greatly excited over the
event. About this time last year there
were several very disastrous fires al Liver

there has been nothing in its manage
