4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1895. NEWS OF THE COAST, Constitutionality of the Wright Act May Not Be Decided. JUDGE FULLER'S VIEW, Supreme Court May Have No Jurisdiction in the Case Pending. DISQUIETING POINT RAISED. Records From-the Lower Court Do Not Show a Seizure of Property. SAN DIEGO, Can., Sept. 20.—Judge George Fuller, president of the Linda Vista Irrigation District, to-day brought out a rather disquieting point regarding ‘the irrigating district cases now before the United Btates Supreme Court. He is in- elined to believe the question of constitu- tionality will not be fairly presented to the court, and that this vital question may pass undecided and so. delay irrigation matters in this State indefinitely. A Carn correspondent interviewed Judge Fuller as to the reason for his views. It is often said in discussions about the Wright law that the Supreme Court of the United States may decide it has no juris- diction in the Modesto case. Can you tell what point that is about?” asked the cor- respondent. “The United States Supreme Court,” Judge Fuller replied, “has no jurisdiction over cases arisingjunder the Wright act, un- iess they involve infractions of the provis- {on of the constitution of the United States that no one’s property shall be taken from him without duve process of law,and I suppese the point to be that the case as made by the record in the Modesto case does not involve the taking of anybody’s property at all, with or without due process of law.” “The case pending on an appeal from judgment concerns the proceedings au- thorizing the issue of bonds. The record does not show any sale or threatened sale of property for assessments, or that any as- sessments have been levied, or that any bonds have been issued. It only shows that bonds have been authorized. I sup- pose it may be claimed that so far as the United States Supreme Court is concerned the record in that case presents only an ab- stract question, and that it will be time enough for the Supreme Court to pass upon the question when the property is taken by Modesto district without due process of law—when the property is sold or attempted to be sold for delinquent as- sessment.”” “How about the Fall Brook case—does that bring up the question of due process of law?” “Yes. In that case there hasbeen an as- eessment and sale for its non-payment, &nd suit was brought to prevent execution of the deed by the district.” “Then in that case when it gets before the Supreme Court there will have to bea decision on the constitutionality of the ‘Wright act?”’ asked the reporter. *‘Possioly,”” replied Judge Fuller, “but not necessarily, as there is a weak spot in the proceedings of the Fall Brook District. That district never took proceedings in court, authorized by the act, for confirma- tion of its organization and its vote au- “thorizing an issue of boands, and the Su- preme Court might sustain the injunction issued by Judge Rossagainst the execution of the deed by the district, not because, as | Judge Ross holds, the act makes no ade- quate provision for a hearing, but on the ground that the plaintiff has never been given an opportunity for the hearing pro- wided for, and might leave untouched the vital question in the matter, which is ‘whether, in a case where the proceedings wunder the act are regular, the purpose of the act is one for which local assessments may be made.” “Then you think 1t doubtful that the Supreme Court will decide the question of the constitutionality of the act in either of “these cases?” “I think it is not altogether certain, but hope otherwise. It is to the interest of everybody that the main question should speedily be determined. Itis to the com- mon interest of all places in the State— those where the act has worked well, as in Ban Diego County, and where it has worked badly—that it be settled as soon as possible, whether the act stands or falls. ‘The Supreme Court decides no questions which are not necessary to the disposition of cases before it, but where there are questions involved either of which would dispose of the case it sometimes decidés them both, especially where they are mat- ters of great public interest.” CAPITAL CITY EVENTS, Protest Against Awarding a Contract for Paving a Walk. Efforts Belng Made to Sscurea Gun Factory—=War in the Primaries. SACRAMENTO, CAr., Sept. 20.—The members of the State Capitol Commission- ers were to-day formally notified by R.T. Devlin, attorney for the City Street Im- provement Company, that the latter com- pany protested against the awarding of the paving of an eighteen-foot walk in the Capitol grounds to the Pacific Paving Com- pany on the claim that the specifications, as framed, namely that “the bituminous rock used must of that character known as San Luis Obispo rock,” prevented com- | petition, and were in direct violation of the letter and spirit of the law according to the act of March 23, 1895, regulating con- tracts made on bebalf of the State. This protest has been' referred by the members of the State Capitol Commission to the Attorney-General, and no action will be taken in awarding the contract un- til his opinion on the snbject has been rendered. 1t appears that the City Street Improve- ment Company of 8an Francisco, which has done the most of . the street-paving in this city, uees almost entirely the Santa Cruz bitumen; consequently the specifica- tions for the new walk, in calling for the Ban Luis Obispo rock, debar the company from entering a bid, and throw the con- tract almost without competition into the hands of the Pacific Paving Company. —_—— Saeramento Primaries.

F'w Wheelmen Realize Its Terrific Force. 7The ability of a bicycle rider in rapid motion to do serious damage in a cOlllS!On witl another machine or with a pedestrian is fally appreciated by few wheelmen, says the Scientific American. A man w eighing 150 pounds and moving.at the rate ¢f ten feet a second (which is only aboutseven miles an hour) has a momen- tum of 1500 pounds, leaving out of the ac- counthe weight of the wheel. ’Ims' is sufficient to upset any pedestrian with terrific force. -It has been suggested that the pnewmatic tire forms a sort of fender which would prevent serious eoncussion in case of a collision. It would undoubtedly have & slight modifying effect, but it would be of little account. A collision be- tween twe wheels, each with a 150-pound rider, spinning at the moderate speed of seven miles an hour, would resultina smash-up vith a force of 3000 pounds. In view of these facts, it is no wonder that bicyele accidents are often very serious, The tractive- force required to propel a bicycle over a smooth level surface is esti- mated at one-tenth of the load; calling the load 150 pounds, a force of 134 pounds would be required to move the wheel for- ward, and this calls for a gressure on the pedals of 63{ pounds on the wheel geared in the usual manner. When, however, the road is rough or on &n up grade, the case is different. On a grade of 1 to 10, for ex- ample, the rider, in addition to the tractive force, actually lifts one-tenth of his weight over every obstruction encountered by the wheel; the descent from the obstruction ives back a portion of the powerexgended in surmounting it, but not all of it. In the case of the pneumatic tire, however, the small obstructions are not an opposing element of any consequence, as the_tire yields in lieu of the wheel being raised, and the result is the wheel travels as upon 2 smooth track. : e He Wants a Slice of Gotham.
