Supervisors Law Claims Have No Right to Raise Funds in Such a Way The threatened suit to test the valid- ity of the action of the Board of Super- in providing for the issuance of ds to raise funds h of he improvement of the city, voted the last election, was commenced yesterday by Herbert E. Law, one of the biggest land owners in 1t city. | It is in the nature of a suit for an in- Junction restraining the board from is- suing the bonds on the ground that the issuance of bonds is beyond the powers of the board and th fore illegal. With the filing of the complaint a temporary injunction was issued by Judge Sloss, returnable before him Friday. The complaint contains ten different s of action, one being directed nst each particular purpose for which the bonds are to be issued. It is claimed that the bonds for the hospital and the nine other objects are invalid for the reason that ordinance No. 1114 violates the provisions of section 21, chapter 1, article II ¢ harter, be- cause the ordi > to legis- late on ten di s, whereas the title embraces but one subject. It Iso charged that there is a dis- crep: between ordinance 1114 and the notice of election, in this: that the ordinance provides for a certain number of bonds of a certain denom- ination, and the notice of election pro- ides for a different number of bonds of such denomination. | QUESTIONS SCHOOL BONDS. | Law complains also that the issuance of bonds for school purposes violates the general law of the State, because the Political Code and the statutes. of the State each provide a full and com- plete scheme for the issuance of bonds for school purposes, and education be- ing ‘State affair” and not a “local affair,” the charter is in conflict with the general law of the State, and there- fore void in that respect. It is further charged that all of the provisions for the purchase of real es- tate for hospital, for County Jail and additions to the Hall of Justice, for public parks and for school purposes being more than $50.000 in value are void, as violative of that section of the charter which requires such a proposi- i tion to be submitted to the electors after the p e of the ordinance pro- viding for their purchase. The portion of the charter claimed to be violated by these proceedings is section 21, chap- ter I, article IL The con nt closes with the charge that there is no provision of law or warrant in the titie for the purchase of parks for children's playgrounds. Also that the purchase of Telegraph Hill park did not receive the proper num- | ber of votes. | SLOSS WILL HEAR CASE. All of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors, by ordinance and by resolution, as well as those of the Elec- | tion Commissioners, are set forth at length as exhibits to the complaint, | they being thirty in number. | Judge Kerrigan assigned the case to Judge Sloss, and on application of the attorneys for the plaintiff Judge Sloss issued an order to show cause, directed to the city and county of San Fran- | cisco, the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor, requiring them to show cause before him, in Department 8, on | Friday next why an injunction should not issue according to the prayer of the complaint, and in the meantime he is- sued an order réstraining the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor and the city | from taking further steps in the prem- ses. The Board of Supervisors, the dayor and the City Attorney were all erved promotly. Henry C. McPike is the attorney for | Law, and associated with him is Edgar C. Chapman, Law's regular counsel ] A gimilar test was made in 1900 of the bond issue voted upon just before the ew charter went into effect. In that | instance the amount of the bond issue was $11,000,000. Eugene N. Fritz was the plaintiff in that case and Arthur H. Barendt was his attorney. The Su- preme Court held all the bond issues | illegal. | | —_———— ‘l Holds Corporations Responsible. l A jury in Judge Hunt's court yes- | terday awarded Francisco Pisacreta 3750 damages against the Southern Pacific and United Railroads for.in- juries recelved by him last September at Sunnyside crossing in a collision between an electrc car and a railroad train.

Several speeches were made, in which the past services of General Stone were referred to in a most com- plimentary manner and were followed by happy references to the new adju- tant general, whose executive ability, developed out of long experience with the National Guard of the State, is ex- pected to prove of much value to him, I as well as the military organization, in his future administration of the af- fairs of the office which he has just accepted from the hands of the gov- ernment.
