AUTHORSHIP OF ASYLUM BILL
Judge Purnell and Loge Harris Drew
The Worthless Act.

The Worthless Act.
II see it stated in some papers that l
was the author of the asylum bill, which
the Supreme court has just declared to
be no good" said Mr.. Chas. A. Cook yes
terday at the station, as he was about
to take the train for home. THAT is not
true, and l wish you would please say
so for me- | never read the bill in my
life; | never heard It read. | was not
even in the House when it was read and
considered. l had nothing on Gods
earth to do with it. / don't mind being
charged with meanness, but do object
to having such gross incompetence as is
displayed in that act saddled ON me-"
Being told that there was a letter in
existence, and from prominent Republi-
can. claiming that Cook was the author
of the bill, Mr.. Cook said: Just tell him
that he lies, and tell him more, he added,
that | can hit a small spot with a gun
long distance And the train was gone.
The truth about it is that the bill was
drawn by Judge Purnell and Loge Har-
ris, and approved by Holton and Black
burn Purnell is the author of section 1,
which abolishes the old charter; section Z,
which creates the new charter and the
subsequent sections abolishing the office
of superintendent and creating the office
of principal and resident physician. Mr..
Harris drew the section providing for the
time of meeting and electing new officers
and the section declaring that the direc-
tors should not be considered officers IN
the meaning of the Constitution.
After the bill had been drawn it was
read over by its authors to each other and
to Holton and Blackburn. After these
two statesmen had pronounced the work
good it was submitted to the Legisla-
ture and passed, to later be declared
worthless by the courts.

The San Francisco call., 1897-05-30

pared by Surveyor Tilton, who estimates
that the size of the sewer is sufficient to
drain the storm waters of that legion.
The drainage now is about as bad as
anything in that line can be. The Spring
Valley Works put in tunnel or a drain
pipe from Lake Honda, below the Aims
house, and the waste waters as well as the
storm waters from the watershed pass
through the Sunset district. The action
of the water has quilted out the sand and
earth to great depth. The gully varies
in width from thirty to eightyfeet and in
depth from ten to twenty feet. This gully
grows deeper and wider after each heavy
rainstorm, and if something is not done to
carry off the water through sewer much
valuable property will be destroyed.
Houses as well as lots will be under
mined before another rainy season ends.
Supervisors and mem bers of The Grand
Jury have visited the district, and can
Judge for themselves whether property
owners would be justified in making per-
manent improvements while the present
stateof affairs is permitted TO exist.
