San Francisco’s munic- ipal building there is the best of the group, and California generally is attracting very fa- Vorable attention.

No bid shall be accepted that bidder before his bid shall be accepted must file a certified check for $105,000 on a national bank, or $525,000 face value of bonds secured by mortgage of the Mercantile Trust Company, or in case said mortgages shall have been previously satisfied the bidders may de- posit $150,000 face value of the mort- gage bonds of the New York Security and Trust Company. E. S. Pillsbury appeared in court for the Mercantile Trust Company, J. C. Campbell for the New York Security and Trust Company, Curtis H.

It by the Assessor the line for franchises for corporations was filled out as tax- able for $5000, but that the company did not thereby concede its lability to assessment for a franchise. The item was inserted in the form for the pur< pose, it is stated, of avoiding litigation with the city and county of San Fran- cisco concerning whatever sum might be believed to be due for such taxes and for the purpose of showing the com- pany's willingness to pay on a reason- able valuation of a franchise. The com- pany says that it had been paying taxcs on the $5000 basis for several years. As to the land which was advertised for sale for the delinquent franchise tax, the answer of the powder works avers that the company transferred the property in November, 1900, to the Ful- ton Engineering Company, and that th: latter corporation obtained the injunc- tion against the sale, which has never been dissolved. ——— — terfered with during this proceeding and would be allowed to compi:te its contracts on hand. ) Due notice will be given of the time of sale.
