THINK THE ORDINANCE UNJUST
Real Estate Men Opposed to That in
Regard to Plumbing.

The real tate men of the city claim
that the proposed ordinance to regulate

munication 10 the Board OF Superv lsors:
Gentlemen: No class of citizens has q deeper
inteTes. =. he sanitary condition OF the city
and in proper plumbing laws than the real
estate agents OF san Francisco. So far, there
fore, from meeting with any Election to such
ordinances as you may pass for the protection
OF the health OF our citizens, you VIII rather
find cooperation from the undersigned and
their lie ats
However we look with alarm upon the ordi-
nances published by your honorable board
containing sixty -four sections. Some of them
are at least radical in their nature, and we re-
spectfuliy ask that action upon these resolu-
tinns be postponed, say thirty days, to give
the undersigned aud other parties in interest
proper time to digest them and to make
SUI h suggestions to ur honorable body as a
careful study of the subject and lis import
an e may demand.
And we >hould be glad If your honorable
board would fix time when, either before a
full boa d or such committee as has the mat
ter in charge, those interes ted in the subject
may be heard.
The Committee on Health and Police
meets to-day and a committee from the
real estate brokers Will be present at the

Il. 1t results, from what has been said,
that the Judgment in both appea Is and
the order denying the new trial must
. be reversed, and the cause remanded
for further proceedings in accordance
with the. views herein expressed. 1t is
accordingly so ordered.
In spite of all that has been said to the
~ airy, the waterfront case is practi-
caIly decided. Since the celebrated de-
cision rendered on September 10 by the
supreme Court, the Water front Com
pany has persistenUly repeated lis claim
that 1t was satisfied with the di tribution
OF the property in dispute. On the other
hand. the attorneys for the ely while first
claiming that the decision was a victory
Tor the public, have read the decision in
inherent lights until now they all seem to
agree that the city got decidedly the short

decision really decides the case, but leaves
TO the Superior Court of Alameda County
the settlement of public easements ana
rights or way that were acquired prior to
the famous comprOmls Sc of 1868, The Ian
guage is very ueinite upon the main
Tolnis OF the controversy, and the lam
guage of the paragraph quoted at The
head OF this article leaves no room for
doubt The case is remanded for further
proceedings in accordance with the views
herein expressed" The lower court, it j.
held, as no authority to do anvt hing ex-

not likely to reverse ITSELF
1t seems to have taken long while for
this facl to be realized by the Oakland
