Harris & Co., which was to the effect that as Judge Dillon had delivered an opinion respect ing the necessity of a new election to authorize 40-year serial bonds for water worlds In place of the 20-year serial ones already voied, and that eiionld it be conclnded to hold the new election sug gested by Judge Dillon, and the city should desire us to take the new 40-year serial bonds so Toted, under the terms of out purchase, thay asked that they be Rdvised by wire or letter and they would than say whether such a course would be acceptable to them. judge dii.lon's opinion. The mayor then submitted the opinion of Judge DiHon, ac follows : Messrs. N\ W. Harris <fc Co., Nov.- York: .Referring to my iettor of June Snd, in regard to Los Angeles, Cal., water work* bonds, I have to say that since that letter was written I have seen a copy of the statutes rf California for the year 1891, which contains the proposed amendment to the constitution. At the time of writing that letter the volume was o-ut of tho law library here, so that I did not have the proposed amendment before me. I have no means of know ing whether the amendment was adopted, but I presume that it was, and I write the following opinion on the aranmption that the amendment was odoptod as it waa proposed and sot forth in the session laws of 1801, at page 523. This amendment required, "inter alia," that when any debt or liability is in curred "before or at the time of incur ring snch indebtedness provision Dhall bo made for ths coiloetion of an annual tax sufficient to pay the intereeton snch indebtedness as it falls dne, and also provision to constitute a sinking fund for the p.ivment of the principal thereof on or before maturity, which shall not exceed 40 years from the time of con tracting the same." Assuming that the amendment was adopted as proposed before March 1, 1803, then my opinion is that under the act of the legislature approved March 1, 1893, it is necessary to issue bonds pay j able one-twentieth part each year. It is true the vote was taken in this case on November 2, 1892, but tho bonds were not issned before the act of Mc\rch 1, 1893, went into effect. When that act went into effect the authority to issue bonds payable one-twentieth each year ceased, ar.d there was- no saving clause permitting the issue of bonds of that kind which had been previously voted. Hence the act of March 1, 1893, stands as the only authority for the issue of public improvement bonds of this kind, and the bonds so issued must be of the character prescribed by this new act. I am further of the opinion that tbo bonds payable one-fortieth each year cannot be issued without a new vote by | the electors of the city. Tho act of March 19, 18S9, section 3, which section is left unchanged by the act of March 1, 1893. provides that the notice of the election sball state "the number and . character of the bonda to bo issued, the ! rate of interest to be paid, nnd the amount of tax levy to be mad? for the payment thereof." Yon state that the ! election notice read in part, "said bonds shall be serial in character, and one 1 : twentieth of the principal sball be paid i each year after their issue." The no ; tice also probably stated the amount of the tax levy to be made for the payment of the bonds, that is in snbstance sufficient to pay the interest one-twelfth part of the princi ple each year. The vote of the people was to ieeue bonds of this character. Non constat, if the bonds payable one iortieth each year had been submitted to the voters, that tbey would have voted to issue such bonds. The consti tution provides that the bonds shall not be issued without a vote; and as the voters have never voted to issue the bonds payable one-fortieth each year, in my op nion a new vote is required. I believe thia, fully answers the ques tions submitted for my opinion. If the proposed amendment to the constitution above referred to, was not adopted, a different question would be presented, and I might reach a different opinion. So, also, a different question might be presented, if there was any express pro visions in the laws of California by which the repeal of an act still left it in the power oi the municipality to con tinue the proceedings ahead, begun, and snch provisions were made In such raan- I nor aa to control the statute now in question. But I have not been able to find any euch provision in the laws of California. Unless, therefore, the city attorney can refer mo to some such pro vision, my opinion is aa above stated. On motion of Mr. Gaffey tbe city clerk was instructed to return the $5000 to Harris & Co., which they had deposited in good faith on the bonds. FIRST STREET WIDENING. In referring to that portion of the re port of the board of public works which was deferred to the afternoon session, ralati • * to the widening of First street between Wellington and Main streets, on tbo motion of Mr. Rhodes, tho dif ferent property holders being absent, waa adopted.

The finance committee reported aa I follows: | We recommend that the weekly report j oi the city auditor showing the condition of the fundi for week ending Juno 10, 1893, and monthly report.of the sumo officer Miowin* the (ondit'on nf his books for month ending May Jt, 1898, and tbo report nf tne city tux nml Heanaa collect r Cfl Ml* collection of. taxtS up to and haarndina November f, 189'!,ba tiled. It w*s io ordered, Ju the matter oi petition No. 432 from I>. Monroe asking a return to him of |3.75 on account of improvements as sessed against lot 4, block 24, Angelifio Heights, when no snch improvements existed thereon, the city assessor having reported to this committee that the as sessment of improvements against said property for the year 1892-03 ie erroneous, and that no improvements existed on Baid property at the time of making tho assessment, we recommend that upon ! the filing of a proper demand on the tux ; 1898-98 fund the sum of (8.60 be re turned to petitioner, and it was so or dered. In the matter of petition No. 278, from Mcx Harris, asking a return to him of $14.17 on recount of tux sale certificate No. 1459 for the year 1890-91, it appears that the property described in eaid tax sale certificate No. 1459 for the year 1890-91, is doubly assessed, and that tho taxes have been paid by the owner of tbe property, Mr. A. Work man, but that the petitioner haß re ceived a tax deed from the city on account of this tax sale. The patitioner bad filed with the city clerk a deed of all his right, title nnd interest in and to this property to Mr. A. Workman, the actual owner of the property, which deed is duly acknowledged, and we re commend that upon tho filing of a proper demand, the sumo' 13.17 being the amount, of money actually received by the city on account of this tax sale, be returned to the petitioner, aud that the city clerk be instructed to doliver the deed filed by Mr. M. Harris to Mr. A. Workman. So ordered. (a) In accordance with the terms and provisions of section 32 of ordinance No. 630 (new series-) the city tax and license collector delivered to the city council the amount of taxes aud penal ties by him collected, together with a complete delinquent list of all persons and property then owing taxes, and at the same timn returned the assessment rolla. Grdered filed. The report and statement of the city tax and license collector, together with the delinquent books, havo been before this committee, and we have carefully compared the list with the original assessment rolls, have compared aud checked all doublet and erroneous as sessments found upon the books after having been delivered to the city tax and license collector, and find the same correct. Ordered filed. The city auditor has reported to this committee that all monies claimed as a credit by the city tax and license col lector have been paid into the city treasury. We are satisfied that the delinquent list contains a full, true and correct statement of all taxea due on the firat half of said assessment roils togettier with 10 per cent thereon, and also a full, true and correct statement, of the second half of the taxes remaining un paid. We therefore recommend that the eaid R. D. Wade, city tax and license collector, bo credited upon the books of the city auditor in the matter of tho collection of the taxes for thefi-cal year IS9I-92, with the following amonnts: Account of dotibles * 2.22 Cash collected and turned late tho city treasury, as per receipts... 135,023.98 Delinquent books 10,22'J06 Unpuid personal properly tax 50*00 Total 5)145.235.2« (b) Statements having been made by the city tax and license collector as set • forth above, the city auditor is hereby : I directed to charge R. 1).

Which was adopted. PETITIONS, The following petitions were then read by the city clerk: Kenney et al. wish the wages of car penters in street department to be raised to $2.50 a day.
