In anticipation of the reopening of the

increase in the number Of the freshman

dents was reached in 1903, when there
were 500 registrations. AS there are al

it is more than likely that the record
will be overcapped.

Injunction Is in Effect
Oakland Office San Francisco Call


1O16 Broadway. Aug. II.
City Auditor A. H. Breed to-day de-
clded. under protest, to audit the bills
Of the Contra Costa Water Company
for July. This action is taken upon the
advice of City Attorney McElroy and
Mayor Olney. The point was whether
the injunction Of the United States
Circuit Court prohibiting the enforce
ment of the rev water rates would
be effective as against The Auditor.
Touching that phase Of the situation
City Attorney McElroy,' in a written
opinion, said:
The rates fixed by the resolution of the City
council. adopted May 81, 1903, cannot be en-
forced at present. owing to the temporary IN
junction issued by the Circuit Court of the
United States in action entitled Contra Costa
Water Company VS.. City of Oakland ct al,
consequently your action in above motion
cannot be governed by said named resolution.
Further City Attorney McElroy said:
The bills that have been approved by the
Board of Public Works and the Board of Po-
lice and Fire Commissioners were for water
furnished during the month of July. 1904, TO
the city Of Oakland, and the Contra Costa
Water Company is entitled to the reasonable
value thereof and the rates attempted 70
be established by resolution of the City Coun-
ell, adopted May 81, 1904, cannot rule your
action in the matter of approval or rejection
OF said bills, in your capacity as Auditor, IL
IS your duty to determine what is the reason
able value OF the water so furnished.
The question of reasonable rates is now
before the courts and in the absence of a
decision from court of final resort 1 would
advise, considering the great difficulties in
cident to this matter and under all the cir
cumstances, that the above bills be audited
would advise, however, that you audit said
bills paid under protest.

along side of him on a bicycle.

ing alongside of the buggy, how
ever, and the horses broke into a

down DIR. Baugh broke a line.
This left him without any control
of the team and matters look so
critical that the doctor jumped
from the buggy. In the fall he
was knocked unconscious and laid
in the road until persons who saw
the team running came to his as
sistance. He was brought into

foot was quite badly injured.

Our Limitations.

Every man has to work accord
ing to the stuff that is in him.
Each one has to meet his own pc
culiar problems. There is no in
falliable rule for action excepting
as a choice between right and
wrong. Each decision, neverthe-
less, is toward definite course of
action, whether intentional or I'M
intentional, and stamps the char
acter of the man-one who Will go
up or one who will go down. But
you can't expect to get out OF
man more than what is in him. A
yard of cloth is a yard of cloth and
no more We might think and
plan and devise for all eternity, but
we couldn't make a yard and
quarter out of it. So we all have
our limitations. Yet we will make
progress in this world and be salts
fed with the brightness of life and
lot if we are honest; if we strive for
the light of Gods clear, unmistak-
able truth; if we stand for the best
we know, and try always to know
more, conscientiously and sincere

if we have faith in ourselves and
in the world. William Bittle Wells
