NEW BOAD LAWS | OF THE STATE A Very Important Opinion by the Attorney- | General. The County Supervisors Musl.i Put the Machinery Into | Operation. Trustees Must Be Appointed for the First Term and Elected Thereafter. Since the last Legislature enacted a law | for the establishment of a uniform system | of road government and administration in | the State the road overseers, Boards of Supervisors and District Attorneys all over California have been entirely at sea as to how to put the new law into operation; of the county government act passed at | the same session. In order to become enlightened upon | these matters the puzzled officials have | appealed to the Attorney-General of the State for an opinion and interpretation of the two laws. Letters of inquiry bave poured into the Attorney-General’s office from all parts of the State, for there is not | a single county, excepting that of the City and County of San Francisco, Lut that is interested. In reply to these inquiries Attorney- General W. F. Fitzgerala has writien two opinions which deal with nearly every point not understood. His opinion, which will be of interest to every public officer Distri Santa Clara County, Saw Jose, C am in receipt of your favor of th in which you refer to an spparent cor tween the county gdvernment act and au act to establish & uniform system of road ro- | ments, both of which weére passed by ihe last Legislature, and. in which You request me to give you my opinion upon the following ques- | irsi—Can the (W0 acis exist togetner? 1f not, which act will govern as to | road matters? Third—Must we hold elections this year for Road Trustees?’ | First and second—I am of the opinion that | there is no serious conflict between the two acts in question, and that it was clearly the | intention of the Legislati that the act for the establishment of a uniform system of road governn ould prevail. Suodivision 4 of section 25 of the county government act (i section which relates to the “‘general per- manent powers” of Boards of Superyisors) pro- vides that such bosrds suall have jurisdiciion “to lay out, maintain, conirol, construct, re- pair and manage public roads, turnpikes, fer- ries, wharves, chutes and other shipping facil- | ities and bridges within the county, unless | otherwise provided by law.” The saving ciause, “unless otherwise pre- | vided by law,” was, in my opinion, placed | there for the express purpose of meeling the | question now under consideration. In draft- ing the county government act its framers | could not, of course, anticipate the probable action of the Legislature upon the road lnw | which was pending before it. Therefore, they uaturslly made provision in the county gov- | ernment act for a system of road government | under the supervision of tne Board of Super- visors, 10 be effective ‘“‘unless otlerwise pro- | vided by law"’—that is, uuless the special act | for & uniform system'of road goveraments which was pending before the Legisiature Attorney of ernor. Furthermore, the two ncts were passed | on the same day and go into effect at the sume | They are, iherefore, in paria materis, | and, o far ss they concern the same subject matier, must be rend together as if paris of | the same act. (Endlich on the Interpretation of Statntes, sections 45-139; People vs. Jack- son, 30 Cal., 427-430). ision 2 of sec. tion 23 of the road act prov Thau all powers and duties by this act conerred | upon road districts and their officers, which are by any aw enacted prior Lo and existing at tue time of the taking effect of this act, conferred upon r0ad overseers, or road commissioners, or Boards of Supervisors. or_other ofiicers, shail be deemed ‘ this act irom the officers’ list zbove named and_conforred exciusively upon road dis- tricts and their officers. From this, although it purports to relate to laws enacted “prior ‘o and existing at the time of the taking effect” of the road sct the legisiative intentis apparent, and reading it in connection with the saving clause, *‘uniess otherwise provided,” in the provisions of the county government act, above quoted, there can be no doubt tnat the road law and not the county government act must control wherever the two are in apparent conflict. Third—In repiy to your thira question I in- close you & copy of an opinion this day re- ferred by me to the District Atiorney of San Bernardino County. Respectiully, W. F. FITZGERALD, Attorney-Genera), F. B. Daley, Esq.,*District Attorncy of San Bernardino County, San Bernardino, Cal.—DEAR | Sre: 1 am in receipt of your iavor of recent | date, relalive to “An sct for the establishment of & uniform System of road government and adminisiraiion in the gounties of the State of California,” approved Aprit 1, 1897, in which vyou ask (1) will such law be operative after June 1 next,and (2)if so, how it can be put Firsi—As there is no provision in the act {t- self as to when it shail take effect, it goes into force “on the sixtleth day after its passage'’ (section 323 Political Code), that 1s, on the sixtieth day after April 1, 1897, which is May 31, 1897. Second—Your second question is one of ex- treme difficuity, and it can only be freed from the doubts which surround it by & decision ot the Supreme Court which, in view of the public interesis involved, should be obtained as speedily as possib'e. 1 am, however, of the opinion that it was the iniention of the Legisiature that the act shovid be put into immediate operation. Effect must be given to thet intention if it is ossible to do so. The chief difficuity arises rom the fact that there is 1no express author- ity conferred upon any person or board 10 put the machinery of the road government pre- scribed by the act in motion. An snnualelec. tion of road trustees is provided for, but the entire machinery of such election is placed in the hands of the road trustees tuemseives, who are officials created by this act, and for the appointment or election of whom in the first instance no express provision is made, The “last Saturday of May of each year” is the time fixed by the act for holding the annual election of road frustees. The last Saturday of May of this year falls upon the 29th, and as the act does not take effect until two days Iater, the 31st, 1t is, of course, impossible to | son shall be apyoin | electors oi the distric: | rule, expre | the ac | whereupon the Board of direct tie issue of the bonds, shall prescribe hald a regular election for such officers until the last Saturday of May, 1898. It scems to be well s 2 newly created office which is not fliled by the tribu- nal which created it hecomes vacant on the ant of {18 creation.” '(Am. & Eng. Ency. of Law, vol. 19, p. 431, and cases cited.) Al- though this is Lot specifically enumerated in the act itse.f as one of the grounds of vecancy, it is a principle nevertheless recognized in that poriton of section 19 of the ect which provides that “vacuncies in the office of trus- tee iu & new district sball be filled as are other vacancies.” 1t this principle obtains, and in order to carty out the intention of the Legisla- ture it must of necessity do 5o, it follows that as soon as the act in question takes effect thera will be & yacancy in vach of the offices of road trustee in all the road districts in :the State, The remaining question, then, is how such vacancy shall be filled? 'Subdivision 3 of sec ion 9 of the act provides that: When a vacancy occurs from any of the causes specified in_sec.ion 996 of the Political Code of this Siate the Bowid «f SUPETVISors shall appoint a sultable person to fill such vacancy untll the Iat day of July next succeeding such appolnt- ment. Section 18 specifically enumerates vacancies in the office of road trustee to be cdused, in addition fo ‘“the happening of any of the events specified in section 996 of the Political Code,” as follows: By failure 1o elect, as pro- vided in section 97 of the act, and “by the resignation of a trustee.” Section 19 provides that whenever a new districtis organized such of the trustees of the old district as reside within the boundaries of the new district shatl be trustees of the new district until the expi- ratiou of their term of office, and that ““vacan- cies in the office of irustes ina new distriet snall be filled as are other vacancies”; and in the same section it 1s provided that “no per- d 10 fill any vacancy ex- 2 signed by at least ten provided, thata ya- cancy may be filled in any case upon petition d by a majority of the electors of the cept upon petiti We Lave thus express authority conferred upon the Bosrd of Supervisors to fill yacancies which occur under the provi of section 996 of the Political Code, wnd so far as direct provision is concerned tne law is silent as to how other vacancies shall be filied. Ordi- nurily the express Autuority to fill certain specific vacancies wou d under the familsar ssio unius exclusio aiterius, exciude at'board from the right to fill ot cies, and the silence of the act s direet provision as to filling other vacancies is concerned would under the provisio tion 8 of article V of the constitution vest the right to fill them in the Governor. Ttis, however, well settied “that In the con- struction of statutes tor the purpose of ascer- taining the legi is to be had not s0 much to the exact phraseology in which thet intention has been expressed, as general tenor and scope of the entire v odied in the set.” S Cal, 142 ; Yeople vs. | surance Company, of san Diego vs. Granuis, ¥ People vs. Ikelroth, 78 Cal., Apply- ing this familiar rule of satutory eoustruc- ton it is manifest, nom an entre considera- tion of the act in question, that, to carry out “ibe legislative scheme embodied in theact,” itjras the intention of the Leglslature that thé Bord of Supervisors shouid be the motive power or machinery for puiting and kecping that scheme in operation. The first section of the act makes 1t the duty of the Boards of Supervisors in the several counties in t ate in which road districts do not now exist *to subdivide such counties into road districts as by law now provided”; | sud the secoud, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eiglith sections of the act vest the Boards of Supervisors with full_authority for the creation of new districts, for the change of boundaries of old aistricts 'and for tne con- s0i{dation of two or more d s of the act the s is prescribed, allowed by the Board of Super- visors” when certain conditious prescribed by that section are complied with. By section 15 of the act the election certificates of persons elected as road trustees “must, with the oath of office o1 the person so elected attache d be forwarded o the clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the county and be filed by him in his office. By subdivision 3 of section 18 of the act resignutions of trustees must be tendered to the Board of Supervisors of the county and musi Le accepted by such board. By subdivision 6 of section 20 it s the duty of the road irusices o make snnualre- pOrts to the Koard of Supervisors. Section 41 of the act prohibits any Superyisor from being interested iu any contract mude by the Board of Trustees of & road district. section 42 ot mekes the Board of Supervisors the final auditing board for all demands against any road district presented to the Board of Trustees of such district. Section 43 makes ita penal offense to offer any valusble thing to auy member of the Board of Supervisors or any member of the Road Trustees **wiih intent thereby to influ- ence his action in regsrd to the purchase of any property for his road district, or, in case | of such Supervisor, for auy road distriet in | his county, ox the making of any contrect by or on belialf of or affecting or to be paid out | of the funds or with the properts of such road istrict.” Finally, the seventh article of the , including sections 44 to the “voung and issuance of bonds,” and an examination of that ariicle shows't Road Trustees for that purpose, and that where the vote is in favor of boods such fact sbail be certified to the Board of Superviso upervisors sha their form and the manuer of their sale, ALl of these provisions show clearly that the moying power behind the Board of Trus tees is the Board of Superyisors of the county and it was the intention of t that the initiative of putting the act inio operation must be taken by the Board of Si pervisors. 1am, thereiore, of the opinion that the Board of Supervisors of each county in the State should sppoint road trustees to fill the vacancies in the ofiee which will exist when the act under cousideration goes into eff c', subject to the provisions of section 19, that “no person shall be appointed to fill any vacancy except upon petition signed by at least ten electors of the district; provided, that a yacancy may be filled 10 any cese upon petition signed by & majority of the elec.ors of the district.” I am turther of the opinion that at the earliest day possible the validity of such appointments should be tested in the courts, Respectfully, W.

Capture of a Dangerous Crimi- nal by O.ficers Long and Caples. He Resumed the Business of Burglary 2s Soon as Released From the Folsom Prison. The salleged tailor,” Willism H. Van Pelt, who was found last Wednesday even- | ing about dusk in the parlor of Capitalist Denicke’s residence, on the corner of Mason and Sacramenty streets, has been identified by Detectives Bee and Harper as Samuel W. Private, whom they arrested | in 1894 on a charge of burglary. { Private was convicted of the crime and on December 22, 1894, was sentenced to | three years’ imprisonment in the Folsom prison. His term expired on April 17 of this year, and on the day after he came to this City. Policemen Caples and Long, who cap- tured Private last Wednesday evening, after an exciting chase, discovered yester- day that when Private returned here from the Folsom penitentiary he took a room at the Capital House, 537 Sacramento street, and that he had been living on the roceeds of burslary ever since that time. He was, however, very cunning in his actions, and never left stolen property in his room more than a few hours at a ime. He evidently had a *‘fence’’ somewhere, and his room was a haliway house from the houses which he robbed and the other thief who received the stolen goods. A few days ago_he left a bundle of woman’s clothes in his room for two nours, and then took jt away with him. On Wednesday morning he brought in a | large clock, and at 11 o’clock in the fore- noon took it away. Private, alias Van Pelt, when discovered | in the parlor by a woman servant of Capi- | talist Denicke, put on a stupid expression and had his mouth open, pretending to be in an ecstacsy of admiration over the beautiful statuettes and mantel orna- ments. He walked leisurely out of Lhe door, but when he heard Mr. Denicke coming after him he ran swiftly down | Clay street. Policemen Long and Caples saw the man runaing and heard the capitalist cry, “Stop thief!’”” between puffs, and they joined in the chase. Private darted into i’ru:p- ct piace, but before he could reach Sacramento strest the policemen Inter- cepted nim. He told them that he had arrived from Portland that morning, and | that taking a stroil up the hill he saw the door of the Denicke mansion standing open. He entered, through curiosity, and was so wrapt up in admiration of the beautiful things in the parlor that he did not hear the good-looking servant-girl | come in. When Long asked wky he had run away he replied that he was irying to catch a | Clay-street car. ~But the Clay-street cars don’t run down hill,” said Long. ‘They run up hill.” Whereupon Convict Private, alias Tailor | Van Pelt, held his peace. He was identified yesterday as a man who entered the residence ot Robert Sher- wood on Nob Hill Monday morning and | stole a quantity, of articles. He was ob- «erved and chased, but escaped. .In his flight he dropped all the articles except a jewel-case, which was fortunately empty. The volice think that he has committed other burglaries, and Datectives Bee and Harver are 1nvestigating, At the time he was arrested in the latter part of 1894 he was a member of the Sal- vation Army band. He was looked upon as a shining light, the only fault he had being a fondness for strong drink. Three instruments belonging to other members of the band were stolen, but Private was not suspected till Bee and Harper re- covered one of the instruments from a pawnshop and Private was identitied as the man who pawned i Choral Societies Next Saturday evening at 8 o’clock the grand choral concert of the Stanford Univer- sity and Apollo Choral Societies will be re- peated in Metropolitan Temple by the full chorus of both organizations.
