- HOSE who have loitered in town
have been busy for a day or two
in speeding the parting guests,
all elected to leave about the same
time, and it devolves upon the friends
in town to say the sad and glad words
at the depot. The Duane girls, who
have been visiting their cousin, Miss
Julia Langhorne, left last evening with
Miss Eleanor Townsend. and the day
before was notable for the departure
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Ferris, who have
had a quiet visit with their relatives
and friends here and are now on their
way to their home in England. Mrs.
]. Downey Harvey will leave today
for Del Monte after a pleasant stay
with Mrs. Eleanor Martin, and the other
events that are interesting society be-
sides the departure Of friends are the
little affairs at home in the city and
those out of town in the various sum-
mer homes.
The WaEer Martins and their little
family are still at Paso Robles, but
Mrs. Eleanor Martin has not joined
them according to her intention, since
this popular matron has had so many
social duties In town that it has been
impossible to get away even for a
brief visit, and during the last few
days Mrs. Martin has been entertaining
the Baroness Won Schroeder and Mrs
J. Downey Harvey at her hospitable
home in Broadway. Mrs. Harvey
passed the early days of her visit with
Mrs. J. Athearn Folger. but has been
the guest of Mrs. Martin for a brief
stay before leaving this afternoon for
Del Monte. Mrs. Harvey's visits here
have been too few and far between to
please her friends in the city, who
have been trying to persuade her TO
prolong this trip. She will return to-
day. however. to join her daughter,
Miss Genevieve Harvey, at Del Monte.
Mrs. John Simpson and her pretty
daughter, Miss Amalia Simpson, are

Says the Law May Have Established Civic Center

California, as represented in senate and
assembly. dedicated and legalized the
present site bounded by Larkin and
McAllister streets and Park avenue on
which was built permanent building
which viii furnish SUFFICIENT and suit
able rooms to accommodate the Diff
ferent courts and boards of city and
county officers. hall of records and also
ofnces for the various officers OF said
city and county
May not such a structure be called
the civic centers This law has been
passed upon by the supreme court and
declared constitutional. This was in 1872
in the case Of the city of San Francisco
vs. P. H. Canavan, Joseph g. EaStland.
Charles E. McLane, board of city hall
commissioners; Robert George, secre-
tary; John Middleton. Samuel p. Mid
dIeton, composing the auction firm OF
John Middleton & Son. and the board
OF city hall commissioners. and also in
the case Of A. P. Hotaling and James
Mofit VS.. the same defendants.
The court held thus: TT is one of
the essential elements of a good dedi-
cation that it shall be irrevoeable and
that the land shall be forever dedicated
the QuOliC use WHICH -
provided the public sees Mt to use il
for that purpose. A reservation of the
right to revoke the dedication defeats
the dedication. To constitute
a complete dedication there must be an
intention by the owner clearly indi-
Gated by his words or acts to dedicate
the land TO the public use and an ac-
ceptance by the public of the dedica-
ton. An acceptance of a dedi-
cation is generally established by use
by the public of the land for the pur-
pose to which it had been dedicated.
Until accepted the dedication, whether
made by deed or otherwise, may be re-
voked by the owner of the land"
The public did see fit to use the land
as provided in the act to provide for
the erection of a city hall in the city
of San Francisco. The act contains no
reservation of the right to revoke the
dedication.
The owner did show intention clearly
indicated to dedicate the land to public
use by words and acts in erecting a
magnificent structure and occupying
the same by all departments of the city
government for 20 years. Therefore
1T follows from the decision of the su-
prenie court that the said land Is ir--
revocably dedicated to the purposes OF
city hall JOHN NIGHTINGALE
