JUDGE SEhWELL DENIES
INJUNCTION To PREVENT
EMERGENCY TAX LEVY
Court Holds That the Proper
Course Is to Pay and
Sue to Recover
WILL NOT INTERFERE
Attempt to Enjoin Col
lection of Geary Street
Appropriation Fails

The superior court will not interfere
with the appropriation Of S720.00O for
the municipalization of the Geary street
road, neither will It rule that the eX-
ceeding Of the 81 tax limit provided by
the charter IS Illegal and therefore void
Judge Seawell so decided yesterday in
the Injunction suit brought by Horace
@. Platt, president of the Geary street,
Park and Ocean railroad, and f. ]. de
Pue against the board Of supervisors,
Auditor S. W. Horton and Treasurer
Charles A Bantel.
George W. Lane and Flatt himself
appeared for the plaintiffs. The defense
was represented by William Il. Baggett.
John T. Williams and A. S. Newburgh
OF the city attorneys Office.
Attorney Lane argued long for an in
junction. There were two levies. he
contended, one for 81 and the other for
20 cents, and the latter was illegal be-
cause there was no emergency such as
contemplated by the charter in the pro-
vision providing for taxes in addition
to the dollar limit. Lane called atten
tion to the original budget, which pro-
vided that the $4,000 for the Geary
street road should come out of the eX-
ira 20 cents This had been changed,
the Geary street appropriation had
been included in the regular list, the
appropriation for street improvements
had been divided and a portion of the
amount needed declared an emergency
5ustifying an additional tax. Such shift
ing Of items. Lane declared, was an
evasion Of the charter. Further, he
contended that there could not be two
separate taxes for one item.
This is the last day." argued Lane.
IF the levy is not made today in proper
form il can never be made properly and
the whole levy may be rendered void.
The appropriation for the Geary street
road should be thrown into the general
fund, so that it may be used for the
repairing Of our streets"
Assistant City Attorney Baggett re-
piled to Lane. The levying of the tax,
he argued, was a legislative act, and
therefore the supervisors could not be
enjoined by the court. An injunction
at the last hour might endanger the
whole levy. If the tax were illegal.
contended Baggett, tax payers could re-
sort TO injunction proceedings to pre-
vent its collection.
Judge Seawell found the reasoning of
Baggett in line with his own views. He
spoke of the danger of an injunction in
validating the whole levy, and after
denying the petition said that those
who thought the tax or any portion
OF it illegal could pay under protest
and then sue to recover.

That railroad magnate James j. Hill
has not abandoned his plans for eX-
tending the rails OF his gigantic rail-
way system to the California water
line is again being evidenced in the
movements Of several parties OF sur
veyors which are now operating in
northern California and western Ne-
vada- Within the past few weeks rep
resentatives Of the Hill lines have been
in this city and Los Angeles in con-
nection with the latest development in
Hills California terminal project. The
latter is a survey for a line from a
point on Humboldt bay to Gazelle. a
distance of $50 miles. and from the lat
ter point II is contemplated TO build a
line eastward to Winnemucca, New The
survey of the route between Gazelle
and Winnemucca has been partially
made and agents of Hill. working
through other parties. are already en-
gagged in securing rights of way

of late directing the plans for the new
line. Two years ago the Hill people
incorporated a company for the pur-
pose of building a railroad from Boise
City, Idaho. to WinnemUcca. New, AMI
it is said by friends OF Colonel Robin
that the laying of rails over this route
will be hurried along as fast as the
preliminary work can be completed and
the necessary material obtained.
With the building of these three
lines Hill would be able to tap the tim
ber sections Of northern California and
get a valuable outlet to the sea IN

and Ripley interests have consolidated

move In that direction by their avOwed
transcontinental rival 1t is well known
that Hills agents have long been plan

been generally understood that he was
scheming to get here by a route across
the northeastern border OF the state
Under his latest plan, however, a
further one to connect with San Fran
cisco would be greatly augmented. for
once within the state he would have
little TO worry him in connecting his
line to Humboldt bay with another to

covered the mass of struggling human

of children mingled with the hoarse
cries of injured men.
For a time those that ran TO hefp

great tragedy. Some who had falien

showing her guest and niece what the
fire had done on lower Market street
and had stopped to point out some
heat-twisted girders when the side
walk collapsed.
The sidewalk, although spanning an
excavation of unusual depth for a dis

construction. An investigation will be
made to place the responsibility upon
the board of public works official whose
failure to inspect or whose ignorance
of construction was responsible for the

FALLING BOX INJURIES DRIVER

JOHN +. Burke, a driver in the en-
ploy of the st. Francis transfer and
express company, was probably fatally
injured at the corner of Market and
Powell streets last evening. While
driving in Market street he was hit on
the mead by a falling box which was
blown from the scaffolding of a sand
blast crew which had been working on
the fifth floor of the James Flood build
ing. Burke's skull was fractured and
he was removed to the central emer-
gency hospital. His team ran away
and was captured at personal risk by
Policeman Thomas Wren, who was
dragged a block by the horses.
