MRS Efforts of *W. J. Fifield on Behalf of the People of This City Are Without Avail—Law of the Case. A W. J. Fifield and his attorney, Benjamin Morgan, have met defeat in their efforts to compel the Board of Supervisors to make further investigation into the af- fairs of the Spring Valley Water Works and again fix the water rates. Judge Sea- well erday handed down a decision dismissing the action, and hence th&' rates will remain as Though the decision fa- vors the Supervisors, it does not decree that the rate was properly fixed; it simply holds that the court has no power to compel the hoard to reconsider its actions, and even though the rate was extortion- ate the people would be forced to beat the burden until another y Shortly after the rate was fixed by the Supervisors, Fifield, through his attorney, filed a petition for a writ of mandate to compel the board to legally fix the rate, it being alleged in the petition that the February 1 mun.l\p’\l legislative body had simply “pretended” to fix the rate, such pre- tense not being sanctioned by law.

M. Burling, will take place next Tuesday evening at the resldence of the bride, 2020 Buchanan street. Dr. Page has been ordered to W ington, D. C., and the urgency of the order has hurried preparations for the happy event. For the same reason the ceremony will he conducted very quietly, none but mem- bers of the family and a very few inti- mate friends being present. This will be all the more regretted by local societ as Miss Burling, by her many accomplis ments_and natural winning s, has en- deared herself to a very wide clrcle of friends, who will, however, fully appre- clate the romance of the situation. Dr. Page, the fortunate groom, has also made scores of friendas even since his arrival from Manila, and, all in all, the event is likely to prove a notable one in society circles. ————— Olive Branch Chapter.
