1916 Broadway June 4.
Mayor Olney, City Attorney Noel
roy and the special attorneys for the
gerald, spent the whole of to-day pre-
pairing for the hearing of the injunction
proceedings that will come up before
Judge Gilbert in the Circuit Court on
Tuesday. They have taken the affi-
davits of all members of the City
Council and of several other members
OF the city government to show that
due and proper consideration was
given to the fixing of the valuation of
the plant Of the Contra Costa Water
Company, and the fixing of the water
rates that the company does not want
put in force. These aff1davits will be
the principal evidence upon which the
city of Oakland will go before Judge
Gilbert in its opposition to the demand
for an injunction. This work of the
attorneys continued without Interrupt
ton all day ana far into the night.
Mayor Olney is of the opinion that
this case will settle the question Of how
far the City Council can go in fixing
values and rates of interest to be al
lowed the company. The Council will
stand by its valuation of $4,700, 900 and
Will claim that the per cent allowed
the company upon this valuation is
ample.
County Tax Collector Barber has
placed all the real property of the Con-
ira Costa Water Company on the de-
linquent tax roll and will sell it to the
State if the taxes are not paid. After
County Assessor Dalton had assessed
the water in the reservoirs of the COM
pany for $1.O00000, the company re-
fused to pay the taxes thereon, and
allowed them to become delinquent.
Upon the advice Of Attorney General
U. s. Webb, Barber placed the property
of the company upon the delinquent
list and will sell it to the State. This
will force the company TO redeem or
bring suit to test the legality of the
assessment.
