City of Sacramento, defendant These
three cases We're commenced in the month
nlento, to recover damages aggregating
the sum of S6.415 alleged to have been
Sustained by the plaintiffs by reason of
| street Canal, in said city, running on
seventeenth street, from S to streets.
Some time prior to 1893, the Haworth case
rendered against the city for the sum Of
| 1852, and a decree also entered adjudging
the canal public nuisance, and ordering
that the same be abated. After investiga-
ing the facts and the legal propositions
involved, the Board of Trustees compro-
missed the various actions named above,
growing out of the same subject, by pay
ing the claimants the sum of $500. The
nuisance has been abated by the filling in
of the canal and the order of the court
compiled with.
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS
1t was one of my most earnest desires
upon assuming the duties of Mayor to rid
the city, if possible, of the old bonded in
debtedness, which has for so many years
drained our treasury and obstructed our
growth and prosperity.
l have been earnest in my endeavor to
accomplish this end during the past year
and, Notwithstanding the refunding plan
recommended by me did not seem to COM
mend itself to your honorable board,
whose cooperation was necessary to
carry it into effect, and was therefore
withdrawn, did not abandon the central
idea that the old bonds should be paid as
promptly as the funds of the city would
admit. I feel truly. delighted to report
to your honorable board ard through
you to the people of this city, that during
the past year 1892, 556 SO was paid out in
the redemption of these old bonds and
coupons, as follows:
Bonds of 1855, redeemed. Sis 300 90
Bonds of 1893, redeemed. .......... 600 90
Bonds of 1898, redeemed. lis, 700 90
Total $500: .......... s532. $50 SO
Two hundred and fcrty-five thousand
one hundred and ninety three dollars and
eighteen cents of this amount was lying
idle in the treasury January 8. 1885, while
we were paying interest on the indebted
ness at the high rate of per cent. per
bonds we have saved the city over $4,000
in interest.
The amount still remaining unpaid of
the old bonded Indebtedness, and which Is
due at the present time, is the sum of
$99. 900. with interest
The bonds of 1903 are classed with what
is known to the general public as 1.-The
old bonded Indebtedness" but will not be
due until 1903. and provision is annually
made for their redemption and payment
of interest.
These bonds amount to the sum Of $79, 400
Bonds of 1888. unpaid. ............. So, 400

counted for.)

ACCUSE RUDOLPH sPRECKELs

Important Suit Involving Property in
the Islands.
San Francisco, Dec. ga
suit was commenced yesterday by
the Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company to recover Ger
tain property on the island Of
Maui, Hawaii, of which it claims
to have been defrauded through
sharp practice on the part of
Rudolph Spreckels. The suit is
the sequel to dealings had be-
tween Rudolph Spreckels, as pre-
sident of the plaintiff corporation,
and the Maui Railway and Steam
ship Company, in which latter
organization Spreckels was also
largely interested.
1t appears from the complaint
that Spreckels conceded the pro-
perry in question to the railroad
company in consideration of the
issuance to him of 500 shares of
stock in trust for the Commercial
and Sugar Company. The plain
tiff corporation never received the
stock and now repudiates the en-
tire transaction, claiming that
Spreckels in conveying the pro-
perty acted in excess of his au-
thority,
