The depot act furtner pro- vided that the bonds should bear date | January 1, 1893, but that no interest should | be paid for any time which might inter- vene between the date of the bonds ana the date of the sale thereof. It is_also provided in the depot act that the State Ireasurer shall on the first day of each and_every month after the date of the Jon@s. take from the San Francisco har- | bor improvement fund $1631 and place the same in the San Francisco depot sinking | fund. | “Che bonds were as a matter of fact not sold until eighteen months after their date, and $35,000 had therefore accumu- lated in the depot sinking fund before any | th tre t the ler s dered an opinion to the effect that the act passed Ly the r special session of the | islature directing the transfer of $36 %y trom the San Francisco depot sinking | nd to the San Francisco harbor im- | ovement fu constitutional, and | urer and State c«m-i The so of the is were purchased.

Mr. Sturtevant further states that under well settled rules of statutory construction the act of the spe- cial session is not in conflict with section | 1 of article X VI of the State constitution. | Attorney General Ford, in concurring in the conclusions reached by Mr. Sturtes vant, says: “It'seems quite clear to me that in what- | ever light you view the act of February 8, 1900, its provisions must stand. If we | view alore the face of the statutes of 1891 | and 1900 we shall find no evidence of the | violation by the Legislature of any con- stitutlonal provision. In other words, we <hall find no fact with which to overthrow the presumption that the Legislature acted within its constitutional authority. | On' the other hand, if we go beyond the | statute ha a face of the statutes and consider the facts a& we know them to be. there still appears nothing of which either the State or the bondholder may complain —_— First Come, First Served. | To-morrow (Friday) we will sell 1000 | pairs ladies’ fine kid shoes at 50c a pair; | 1000 pairs men's viel kid tan or black at 5150, Slightly damaged in railway col- lision. ““The Standard” 102) Market st., | between Sixth and Seventh.
