ATTACKS VALIDITY OF
BANK TAX ORDINANCE
Answer to City's Suit Filed by
Financiers

The constitutionality of ordinance
74S, imposing tax on bankers, was
attacked by the Bank of San Fran
cisco yesterday in an answer filed to
the suit of the city for the collection
of 1901, alleged to be due for the
quarter beginning May 81, 1908.
The sum of 1901 is the amount fixed
where receipts are in excess of $4,000
600. The Bank of San Francisco denies
that its receipts are in excess Of
S2,600,000 a quarter and asserts that
they are less than 100000.
The pretended and purported ordi-
nance" as it is called in the answer,
is asserted to be null and void because
of its uncertainty. The bank contends
that it is unable to determine whether
the measure is strictly a license meas
ure to regulate the business of bankers
or whether it is intended as means of
revenue.
If the purpose is to raise revenue,
then the ordinance is asserted to be in
violation of the charter. because the
subject is not set forth in the title.
If the purpose is to regulate banking
it is still invalid, argues the defendant
bank, because the supervisors have no
such power.
The ordinance is also attacked upon
the ground that the amount OF the tax
is estimated upon future deposits and
not upon amounts actually deposited

WIFE OF ENGINEER
TO SEEK DIVORCE
Mrs. George Borrowe Engages
Attorney, but Waits in Hope
of Reconciliation

After 10 years of welded life Mrs.
Caroline Bosqui Borrowe, wife of
George Borrowe, the mining engineer.
has come to the conclusion that matri-
mony is a failure and has engaged the
services of Attorney w. B. Kollmyer
with view of securing divorce from
her husband. Borrowe is now in Mex
leo, engaged in mining operations. The
suit has not been begun by Mrs. Bor-
rowe. and it is understood among her
friends that she is reluctant to do so
while there may be a chance of resum-
ing the marriage. state with her hus-
band. Little hope is entertained that
reconciliation will be effected.
Mrs. Borrowe is in this city at the
home of her father, E. L. Bosqui, the
art connoisseur and collector, at 2010
Lyon street.
Borrowe is the son of the late Cap
tain William Borrowe. His mining
work has taken him to all parts of
the world, and Mrs. Borrowe has been
his companion on almost all his trips
since their marriage 10 years ago. She
accompanied him to Australia and to
other posts. Recently she returned to
San Francisco from Mexico.
Friends of the family say that the
sole cause of disruption is the inability
of Borrowe to master his desire for
liquor. Divorce proceedings have been
delayed by the wife in the hope of an
Improvement. which. however, has
failed TO come.
