ANOTHER JOKE

In it's contentious for a clear title
to the city lot, the position Of the
Press has been proven correct on
every point raised. We said tue tit
10 was defective without going into
details, hoping steps would be taken
to oleai 1t, and instead were made
the target for personal abuse, misrep-
Iesentatiun aud villitIeation. This
made 1t necessary TO 90 to some ex-
tent into details, and We told the
public that the deed had not been re
corded, although the purchase had
been made three years ago, and that
dilligent search failed to locate the
original. This justified our posi-
ton and all sensible people ackn0w
lodged the Press was right, but some
tried to shift responsibility by stat
ing that the "whole thing was huge
joke put up on Scott. -
We now have another joke as ser
ious as the first, and 1t Is backed by
the opinions Of half dozen lawyers
OF the city. We believe the title to
the lot, even with the finding and re-
cording of the deed, 10 still Of little
value for the reason that the transfer
from the Odd Fellows does not com
ply with the statutes Of the state and
Ii void. The law requires fraternal
organizations to publish notice in
three newspapers for three consecutive
weeks Of the time Of meeting at which
the proposal to sell real property will
be voted upon. This was not done
by the lodge. The law goes further
and says that at such meeting a ma
Jority of the members must be pres,
ent and approve the sale. The deed
says that at said meeting a quorum
was present. For these reasons the
title 10 not good.
Not being lawyer We we're under
the impression that decree OF court
would clear the title; but attorneys
Inform us that It will be necessary
to have a new deed made out in &C
cordance with law and steps are now
being taken to clear the matter az
without delay. The Press will lenC
Its assistance in the matter and hopes

the officials maybe successful in thei
efforts to clear the title. The mean
to the emo are not material, so lonl

their relation to the city of San Fran
and fire. The question of the free dis

of the salaries of congressman, if free
seeds were not to be had. Mr.. Scott
