and they are in the meantime, restrain
ed and forbidden and enjoined, as SUI
pervisors of the County Of Sacramento,
State of California, from purchasing, OF
attempting to purchase, the whole or
any part of the above described real
property
At the afternoon session of the board
Chairman Morrison said the time set
for the hearing of the offer Of sale of
the Touhey lot had arrived. He had
before him, he said, what purported to
be an order of court restraining the
board from taking any action in the
matter, but the document was not
worth the paper on which it was writ
ten, so far as the Board Of Supervisors
was concerned, as it bore no signature
but that of the complaining attorneys.
1t was not signed by the Judge of any
court
Mr.. Morrison said he had understood
for the Touhey lot, but he did not see
them in the room. He therefore moved
that the board should not purchase the
lot It looked as if the public believed
the county doesn't need it, and If that
were the sentiment he was satisfied.
The county's woodpile could be kept in
the alley, for want of a more secure
place, and the public could keep on
helping themselves when short Of fuel.
The county, he said, has large guam
tity of rock on the Touhey lot, for the
use of which lot the county has to pay
in rental sum almost equal to 3 per
cent interest on $4,000; but he would
have the rock removed, and the lot could
be surrendered to its owner. He would
also oppose the renting of the lot any
further, and the chaingang could be re-
lieved from rockbreaking and en-
ployed out on the roads.
Morrison's motion that the lot be not
purchased was carried by the unani-
nous vote of the board, and this ends
the matter. Mr.. Touhey will have to
look elsewhere for a purchaser of his
miniature paradise at $4,000. He
may get that for it some day, but it
will not be until somebody develops a
genuine gold mine of Klondike richness
beneath its surface.
The gold-brick age has been left be-
hind.
