NOT IN STATUTE BOOKS.
Constitutional Amendment Adopt
ed by Last Legislature.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The dis
covery that the constitutional amend
ment adopted by the last Legislature to
be submitted to the people at the next
general election providing for the pay
ment of claims amounting to S2lO,OUO
against the city and county Of san
Francisco incurred during the fiscal
year of 1892 and 1898 was not in the
statute books, nor any record of its
disposition to be found, was made to-
day by John A. Russell, Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors, at meeting OF
the Hospital Committee. The general
impression has been that the amend
ment was adopted by a concurrent res
olution of both houses, and that 1t
would be voted on at the election to
be held in November, but Clerk Rus
sell, after an exhaustive search, has
been unable to find the measure in the
statute books. City and County At
torney Lane has been equally unsuc-
cessful, and the question of why it does
not appear in the official record of the
Legislature is still unanswered.
