SPITE FENCES NOT
BARRED BY LAWS
BUILDERS NEED NOT REGARD
NEIeHBoRs' LIGHT AND AIR
Only Nuisances Are Forbidden Under
the Present Statutes, as Property
Rights Are jealousy Guarded
by the Courts

Further inquiry by Deputy City Attor-
ney Charles E. Haas into the spite fence
laws discloses that the act of March 9.
1885, sometimes referred to as preventing
maintenance of these fences, does not
strictly apply to all cases.
4 The act is entitled IAN act regulating
the height of division fences and parti-
ton walls in cities and towns and is
construed in Western Granite and Mar
BILE company VS.. Eugene Knickerbocker
ct al, 103 Cal, III, supreme court de-
cision handed down June 10, 1894
The court decides to the effect:
THAT the above act is a general
law and is to be construed SO as to
not render it unconstitutional; and so
construed it prevents the erection of
a partition wall or division fence rest
ing upon the division line between the
adjoining proprietors more than ten
feet in height; but 1t does not pre-
vent the erection of any kind of
structure of greater height wholly
upon the land of an adjoining pro-
prietor, although such structure may
prevent the passage of light and air
into the windows of the adjoining
builders"
Guard Property Rights
This decision indicates how jealously
property rights are guarded by the law,
Deputy Counselor Haas points out.
Christian Ingwehsen VS.. Bridget Barry,
a supreme court decision reported in 11S
Cal. 342. sustaining the decision in the
case just cited, adds:
"The English doctrine of ancient
lights does not obtain in this country
and that it was not competent for the
legislature to vest in an adjoining
proprietor the right to prevent his
neighbor from building on his own
land such structure as he may see fit,
provided it is not nuisance; and that
it is not nuisance merely because
it obstructsc the passage of light and
air to the building of the adjoining
owner, under the principles there an
nounced which are firmly established
by the courts of the United States,
and to which we adnere, the PLAINTIFF
made no case emitting him to re-
cover"
American Court Views
This last statement is indicative of the
action of the United States courts.
AS to the matter of an easement, Ken
nedy & Burnap, 120 Cal. AGO. sustains the
point that "conceding, therefore, that
plaintiff enjoyed what would be an ease
ment at common law III bhSIeiu an"
that by the transfer of the title to the
land there would have been an impned
grant of this easement in that country,
we are still of the opinion that no such
easement was created by our law, nor
did any such easement pass by implied
grant"
There is then no easement of 'ancient
lights" recognized by our law, and the
act of 1885 referred to is construed to be
constitutional only in so far as 1T affects
partition walls or division fences.
This may clear some of the erroneous
impressions in regard to the law of spite
fences and lessen the constantly recur-
ring complaints that parties are break
ing the law bl building spite fences"
Mr. Haas concluded.

turn to service early this week, and
will go to Nomini to load a cargo of

she was placed in thorough order for

The calling Of Prof. Gildersleeve to Balti-
more to take part in the development Of
the Johns Hopkins University is one OF
the many good things we owe to Presi-
dent Gilman. This single act had much
to do with determining the character OF
the university. The ideal university pro-
fessor is one who advances knowledge as
we'll as imparts knowledge. one who
stands for the highest ideals.
Prof. Gildersleeve has not olly won
great distinction as an investigator and as
a teacher. but he has at the same time
been an example to his colleagues of
Ialthfulness In the performance OF his
duties. Great fidelity and great distinc-
.ion 40 not always go together. We Of
the johns Hopkins University have good
reason to congratulate ourselves that for
tnlrty-one years we have had this most

years of my life which have spent in
