FREE PUBLIC MARKET.
Call for a Meeting Of Producers in
San Francisco

The matter of securing a free public
market in San Francisco, which was
first suggested by VIM. H. Mills in the
State Board of Trade, is now being
pushed by the San Francisco Farmers
Club. 1t has just sent out the follow
ing call for convention of producers:
The Board Of State Harbor Comnlis-
sioners having by a formal resolution
invited the producers of perisha bic
products TO appoint a permanent COM
mittee TO represent the interests of such
producers in all matters relating to the
free public market required by law TO
be established on State property on the
water front of San Francisco the San
Francisco Farmers Club. at the re-
quest of several organizations of pro-
ducers, issues this call for mass and

representatives of producers organiza-
tions to meet in San Francisco, in the

the meeting.
The Harbor Commission has de-
clared that such committee, when ap-
pointed, will be recognized by the Com
mission as the representative of the in
terests appointing it.
In the establishment Of the market it
is believed that many important and
difficult questions will arise, as TO
which it will be desirable that the pro-
ducing interests should be represented
before the Commission in some author
itative way, and it is therefore request
ed that all oranges, farmers clubs, al
liances, fruit exchanges poultry asso-
Citations, creamerieS and all other or
ganizations of producers shall be rep
resented by delegates in order that all
interested may have a voice in select
ing the committee and framing its in
structions. All newspapers in the State
are requested to copy this notice, ana
all producers who see it are requested
to attend in person or by representative.
Organizations sending delegates are re-
quested to notify the Secretary of this
club of all names of delegates that the
roll, as far as possible may be made up
in advance. BY order of the club.

ATTORNEY y-GENERAL,s OPINION.

ATTORNEY -GENERAL'S OPINION.
Hon. Z. p. Colgan, State Controller.
Sacramento-Dear Sir: 1 am receipt of
you request my construction of that
portion of Section 1897 of the Political
Code, which reads as follows:
But no bid shall be received or ac-
cepted at such sale for less than the
amount of all the taxes levied upon
such property, and all interests, costs,
penalties, and expenses up to the date
of such sale. The expense Of the pub
lication of the notice herein required
shall be a charge against the county,
As / understand your letter, the ques-
ton which you wish determined is
whether or not 1.-The expense cf the pub
lication Of the notice" referred to in the
last sentence of the foregoing quotation.
is to be included in the sale price or
the property sold under the provisions
of the said section. The section under
consideration is the one which provides
for the sale by the State of property
sold to the State for taxes and the evi-
dent intent of the law is that when
such property is sold by the State all
expenses pertaining to its requirement
| and to such sale must be included in the
price bid
| / am therefore of the opinion that
| the expense Of the publication of the no
| tice in question must be SO included.
The provision of the section relative to
such expense being a county charge is
intended merely to specify which shall
| pay it in the first instance, the State
or the county, and not to prohibit It's
! inclusion as one of the expenses IN
CURED up to the date of such sale
| 1t is the policy of our revenue laws
that all expenses arising from the non
payment of taxes shall be borne and
/ paid cut of the receipts from the sale
of the property taxed; and there Is
nothing in the language of the section
under consideration which would indl-
i cate that the Legislature, in this in
! stance, intended to depart from that
