ID HALT FIRE ALARM CONTRACT
Notice Is Given Star Elec- tric Representative and City Manager That In- junction Will Be Asked Against Contract.

With the adoption on Thursday morning of an ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into con- tract with the Star Electric Company for an improvement and extension of the fire alarm system and appropri- ating therefor the sum of $15,S2175, the way was opened, think Attorneys Sloan and Westervelt, for applica- tion for an injunction to restrain the city manager from entering into such a cotnract. Announcement was made yesterday that application would
 be filed today with the clerk of the superior court for such an injunction. Notice that such an injunction would be asked was served upon Fred c. Stover, pacific coast representative of the Star Electric Company of San Francisco, a day or two ago and MT Stover arrived here yesterday pre- pared to oppose such application. No tice was also given City Manager Robert A. Craig that such an injunc- tion would be asked
 It is understood that the attorneys will charge that the commission did not act within the requirements of the city charter in any of the pro ceedings taken in advertising for bids for the proposed fire alarm ex tension or in the matter of directing the execution of the contract or ap- propriating the money therefor. It is understood, too, that it will be the contention of the attorneys applying for the injunction that the commits sion adopted an ordinance appropriat- ing money from a fund that does not actually exist
 
 some two years ago voted to sell bonds in the sum of $75,000 for fire improvement purposes. These bonds were issued, sold and the money from them placed in the hands of the city.
 It was thereupon deposited in a bank. At no time has the commission adopt ed an ordinance placing this money in a fire improvement fund. Upon the contention therefore, that while
 the money is actually in the hands
 of the city, it has never by ordinance been allotted to any fund and is therefore not subject to appropriation for any purpose. the injunction will be asked.
 It is understood that in the event that the injunction issued attorneys will submit agreed statements of facts and will argue the law points. Judge Stanford and Judge Lyman ! 1are absent from the city and it will be impossible to secure an injunc- tion before they return, but appi- cation for such an injunction may be made withs the clerk of the superior ! court and either judge may pass upon the application upon his return. In the meantime it is the consensus of opinion, the matter of the expen- allure of this money and the carrying out of the contract will be held up.

APPLICATION FORMS NOW READY FOR SALE
 OR LEASE OF LANDS

All the blank forms necessary for the making of applications to pur- chase or lease state lands have been prepared, and may now be obtained at the office of the state land de- partment Letters of inquiry from prospective purchasers have been re- ceived in large numbers since the establishment of the new land code, and the arrival of the application blanks. is expected to start business booming at the office of State Land Commissioner Noeur.
 According to an opinion recently handed down by the attorney gen. eral. one person can buy or lease 160 acres Of agricultural land susceptible of irrigation, and also buy or lease GAO acres of grazing land. making 500 acres in all. As to whether or not a person can purchase up to the limit then lease up to the limit in either class is yet to be deter mined.
 The attorney general has also rul- ed that a stockhplder can purchase up to the limit in his own name, re- gardless of holding by lease or pur- chase on the part of the company in which he may hold stock.
