Suit to perpetually enjoin the officials of the municipality from expending any portion of the sum of $350,000 set aside in the budget for the acquisition of the road was filed yesterday by the stock- holders, who are represented as plaintiff in the suit by Isaac Strassburger, who pleads that his interest, as a taxpayer, in the proper expenditure of municipal funds has spurred him to the action taken. No finarcial interest in the fate of the corporation that passes into history with the acquisition by the city of the read is admitted by the nominal plaintiff, but to defend his rights as a taxpayer he has called to his aid John Garber, the latter's partners, Cresswell & Garber, George W. Lane and J. D. Lederman. PURPOSE OF ACTION, ‘While the validity of the entire scheme for the acquisition of the Geary-street road by the municipality is attacked In the sult, the immediate purpose of the action is to prevent the purchase of the proposed site for the new power-house at Geary and Baker streets, the deeds to which were to have been delivered yes- terday. In consequence the deeds were not delivered, Clerk Fay of the Board of Supervisors and Auditor Baehr fearing to order the Treasurer to pay the demand of the owner, notwithstanding the fact that Superfor Judge Sloss refused to issue a temporary restraining order prohibiting them from so doing, though such an order was earnestly prayed for by counsel rep- resenting the plaintiff. Judge Sloss stated that he would not stay the hands of the officials in so important a proceeding, un- less proper showing in support of the petition were made, and he set the case for hearing on the 12th ult., at 10 o’clock, at which time he will determine whether or not an injunction should issue to re- maln in force pending the final adjudica- tion of the case at bar. The main contention against the legality of the proceedings is that while a fair estimate of the cost of the whole of the Geary-street road and necessary accesso- ries is $1,000,000 the Board of Supervisors has provided for the expenditure in the udget under consideration of but $350,000 for the purpose. PLAINTIFF’S CONTENTION, ““By the expenditure of $350,000,” says the plaintiff, “not more than one-third of the road can possibly be acquired, which said one-third will be valueless in itself.” Con- tinuing plaintiff says: Neither the Board of Supervisofs nor the city and county of Francisco intends to nor will let contracts for nor will attempt in any manner to acquire the public utllity in question or any portion thereof in excess of the sum of $350,000 in value, being about one- third of the public utflity. At no time herein mentioned have there beer. nor are there now any funds or money of the city and county whatsoever which could or can be lawfully appropriated in whole or part for the acquisition of the pubiic utility in question. No attempt of any char- acter has been made by the defendants to ob- tain, acquire or render avallable any sum of money tor the purpose of applying the same to the acquisition or the comstruction or com- pletion of the public utllity named, save and except the said alleged budget appropriation of $350,000. In conclusion the plaintiff asserts that unless restrained the Board of Su- pervisors and the Auditor will illegally order the expenditure of the $350,000 budget appropriation for the futile pur- chase of but one-third of the road and unless they are perpetually re- strained from so doing the plaintiff and all other taxpayers of the city and county will be unjustly and illegally burdened and will suffer to see the de- parture from the municipal treasury of $350,000, for which there will be no adequate return. ASKS FOR OPINION. Immediately upon being served with the summons in the suit filed by Strass- burger, Clerk Fay of the Board of Su- pervisors transmitted to City Attorney Long the following communication, re- questing the latter official to defend the city in the sult: I beg leave to transmit to you, with the request that you take such action 8s may be necessary to preserve the rights of the city and county of San Franclsco in the premises, a copy of the summons and complaint this day served upon me in action entitled “Isaac Strassburger et al. vs, City and County of San Francisco et al,” No. 99,624, Superior Court records, said action involving the legality of expenditures made out of the appropriation set aside in the budget of the fiscal year 1905-1906 for the construction of the Geary Street Raflroad, and also an order addressed to defendants in said action to appear on Fri- day, January 13, 1906, at the hour of 10 a. m., before the Hon. M. C. Sloss, Judge of the Superior Court, department No. 8, and show cause why an Injunction pendente lite should not issue enjoining and restraining further expenditures from sald appropriation. DEEDS ARE REFUSED. Mrs. E. M. Cutler appeared at he Au- ditor's office, prepared to hand over the deed to the lot at the northeast corner of Geary and Baker streets as part of the site for the proposed municipal Geary-street road power-house. She asked for her demand in the sum of $15,167 13 in return for the deed, but was informed that it was in the hands of Mayor Bchmitz, to whom it was sent on December 20. The Mayor has until Saturday to sign the demand, but Audi- tor Baehr stated that even if his Honor does so he, Baehr, will not audit the demands. Baehr says he will protect himself and his bondsmen, despite the fact that the clause specifically re- straining him and the other defendants from paying out any moneys for the Geary-street road project was ruled out by Judge Sloss. Baehr holds that the order to show cause includes the pro- hibition to pay out any moneys until the case is disposed of. Later in the day the Mayor said he ' How Every Housewiie Can Tell Adulterated Foods Not with complicated apparatus, THE JANUARY but by the very simplest ways in her own home. know whether butter is butter; if milk is watered; if coffee has chicory in it; if her baking- powder is pure,etc.” Told in How she can Lapies HoMmE JournAL Last Month’s Issue of A Million and Three Hundred Thousand.Co\pics was Comp]etely;&%]d Out 15'Cents.on Every’News-Stand THE CURTIS PUBLISHING COMPANY, PHILADELPHIA PERSONALS.
