Register and Receiver, Los Ange les, California: Gentlemen:—You are hereby advised tbat, on the 24th mat., Hon. S. J. Klrkwood, Secretary of the Interior, reversed tbe decision of this offlce, dated April 14, 18S0, in tbe case ot Henry Dalton va. J. W. Haines, awarding to Dalton lands within the lines of tbe O'Far- survey not patented to others. Tbis action closes said oase. "You will pleaae notify all parties in in terest of tbla decision, a copy of wblob Is herewith inclosed. Very respeotfully. J. A. Williamson, Commissioner. decision. Department of the Interior, \ Washington, May 21, 'Si. j Sir: —I bave considered tbe ap plication of Henry Daltou to pur chase, nnder tbe 7th seotion of the Act of July 23, 1866, certain tracts in Township 1 N., R. 8 W., 1 N. 10 W., 18. 10 W., 1 N. 7 W. and 18. 9 W., 8. B. M., Los Angeles, Cali fornia, on appeal by Dalton, by the Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany, and by John W. Haines et al., settlers, from your decision ot April llth, ISBO, allowing Dal ton to purchase certain of said traots and denying bis right to pur chase others of said tracts. It appears tbat the Mexican Governor Alvarado granted to , Ygnaoio Paiomarea and Rlcardo Vejar on April 15th, 1837, a tract of land known aa San JosO, witbln certain named boundaries, and tbat, subsequently, one Luis Are- , uas became an equal owner with Palomares and Vejar by purchase, in San JosC. Tbe tbree thereafter petitioned for a grant of tbe same ' "San Jos6," with an addition thereto of one square league of land on the west of "San Jote " This petition was granted by Alvarado on March Htb, 1840, and the latter tract was known aa San Jose Addi tion. On August 7th, 1840, Are nas (Individually) petitioned for a further grant of oue square league of land known as "Azusa," situate on the west of "Sau Jote Addition," whicb petition was granted by tltp acting Governor on Xov. B.h, 1941. Arenas thus btcauie a grantee of an undivided one-third of the two former grants and of the whole of the latter. Jurldicial possession of Han Joe€ was given on August 3d, 1537, of tbe addition, on May 7, 1840, and of Azusa in April 26, 1842. On De cember 27, 1844, Dalton purchased or Arenas the latter's Interest in the three grauts, paying $7,000 and receiving a deed therefor. In Feb ruary, 1846, partition of Bn. Jo Cj and San Jos€ addition between lhe three owners was mads under a survey of one Jasper O'Farre'.l, iv accordance with Hues pointed out to him by the parties, aud a map was made by him showing tlie sep arate portions of each owner. Con tinuation of the interests of each was made by the Board of Califor nia Land Commissioners, under the Act of March 3, 1851, and tlie decree in Dalton's case iv tlie U. B. District Court (No. 121) was enter ed ln March, ISS6, and ueoutne flual by dismissal of the appeal April 4, 1857. Surveys of the three claims were mads by Henry Hancock, U, B. Deputy Surveyor, in 1858, aud approved by tlie Sur veyor-General in January, 1830. Exceptions were taken to tbe cor rectness of his survey of Azusa, hut were overruled by the U. S.Dis trict Court ou December 9, 1864. A subsequent survey was made in 1866 by U. S. Deputy Surveyor Thompson, which was approved by tbe Surveyor-General in April, 1869, But alter prolonged contro versy, the Acting Secretary of thin Department sustained the survey of Hancock ou September 20, 1872, and the plat thereof was approved by your oilice on May 20, 1870, and nu tbat dale, patent issueil to Daltou for Azusa containing 4,431 17 acres. Pateuts also issued on July 20, 1875, to Palomares, Vejar and Dalton for "Sau Jotfj," containing 22,340.41 acrts, and on December 4, 1875, to the same parties for Sau Jose addition, containing 22,340.41 acres, and on December 4, 1875, to the same parties, for San JoeS Addition, containing 4,430 64 acres. Daltou has filed two applications to purcase tinder the 7th section of tbe Act of July 23d, 1866, both dated August 16th, 1878, oue for lands alleged to have been within the interior limits of but excluded from tbe final survey of San Jote aud addition, and the otber for lands alleged to have con stituted a portion of the original grant of Azusa. Your decision states that, at the trial, tbe attorney of Dalton with drew his claim for all lauds within tbe exterior limits of Sau Jo-6 and San JotO Additinu, sitiiute iv township 1 N., 8 W., but I find no such withdrawal iv the record or among tbe files. Tbe contestants 'represent about 150 families of "settlero" on lhe lands Involved, having v popula tion of from 800 to 1,000, with im provements valued at from $258, --000 to $300,000 and the Southern Pad lie Railroad Company. Tbe 7th section of tbe Act of Ju ly 23, 1866, provides, "fhat when persons in good faith and for a val uable consideration, have purchas ed lands of Mexican grantees or as signs, which grants have subse quently beeu rejected, or where the lands so purchased have been ex cluded from the final survey cf any Mexican grant, aud have ujed, im proved and continued in the actual possession of tbe same, as accord ing to the lines of their origin and purchase, • * * euch purchas ers may purchase the same, • • upon Urst making proof or the faota as required iv this section." ►''•••»« Something more than mere own ership of tbe lands is thus required, in order to this right of purchase Tbere must be proof of their use, improvement and continued actual possession from the date of the ac quisition or the applicant's title. Dalton's purchase fiom Arenas wus in 1844, prior to the acquisition of Mexloan territory by too United States, under the treaty or Guada- < lupe Hidalgo, in 1818, and before ' the lawa of the United States could operate on tbe land against the parties, none of whom were Amer- f lean citizens; and a strict coustrua- t tlon of tbe section might require ' (hie proof from 1844. lam inclined, J however, to bold bim to proof from IMS (when the territory was ao. quired by tbe United States) a* I ■ten In accord with the Intent and { purposes of the Aot. Tbe questions Involved are not the rights of the settlers, nor of the Railroad Com pany, but those of Dalton only, un der bis applications, and inquiry was limited thereto at the hearing. Tbere is no proof that prior to 1851 Dalton ever used or improved any of tbe lands involved. From 1861 to 1855 about 150 acres within bis patented lines appear to have been cultivated, and crops were raised thereon In 1857 and 1858. In 1855 be t'encedja large field, but the fence was removed after Hancock's survey In 1859 or 1880, where it ex tended on outside lands. Settlers began to occupy these lands in 1859, and Dalton testiflestliat, from tbat time he has uot possessed nor occupied the lands claimed by tbem. His vineyard, orchards flouring mill aud buiiliugs are witblu his patented lines. He lias erected no buildings outside these lines within the last 20 years. Since 1855 he has had very few cat tle, and these bave grazed both In side and outside his patented Hues, in common with the stock of the settlers. There is some evidence tending to show that he had, at times, rented certain tracts, but these times are subsequent to 1859. The seven witnesses Introduced by tbe contestents testify substantial ly that Dalton has had no pos session, occupation or us ?of the lands outside his latented limits since 1857 and has made no Im provements thereon; but that, from tbat dale, tbey have beeu iv pos session of the settlers claiming rights thereto, adverse to Dalton. The onus probandi ls upon Dal ton, and in my judgment he bas failed to show tlie v c, improve ment and continued actual posses sion of the land applied for, re quired by the Act. With these views, it is unnecessary to consider other questions raised in the argu ments, and as Ihe hearing was con fined to the right of D iltop, to pur chase under said 7th section, and tbe rights of the contestants are uot involved in that question, and no testimony was submitted in re spect to Ciem, I leave these with the claim of said railroad company for the consideration of your oflioe when properly pre sented. Your decision allowing Dalton to purchase any portion of the lands involved is reversed, and the papers transmitted with your letter of Setember 161 b, 18S0, are herewith returned. ■ Very respectfully. S. J. KIHKWOOD, Secretary. I The Commissioner of the General Land Office. THE SEWER DECISION. Op'aicn of Judge Se])a>;di), Filed Yesterday, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF 1.08 ANGELES COUNTY. W. A. Spalding vs. W. W. Rob inson—Tlxe plaintiff, as receiver, invokes tha aid of this Court to prevent the defendant, who is the City Auditor uud Clerk, from Issu ing a warrant ss provided iv Sec tions 11 and of Article IX of Re vised Charter of the city of Los An geles, for the sale of Ihe property in charge of the defendant as Receiv er, due from an assessment levied by the Common Ciuticil forthe construction ef a sewer on a public street of L'.s Angeles. There is uo power granted in the City Charter for the collection i,f any tax for sewers by sale. Section 20 of Article 9 provider that the Council sball have power "to lay down a ; l necessary sewers and drains," and, for tbnt purpose, lo levy and collect annually, as other city taxes, a cerUin tax, and this to constitute a sewer fund "to ho used for that purpose only." The mode aud manner of apportioning tbe estimated cost is also pre scribed, but the section aud Char ter are silent as to Ihe mode and manner of collecting the sewer tax from individual owners by sale. The power to levy aud collect taxes, whether general or special, does uot carry with it the authority to collect by distress or sale of properly. Tho principle of the oommou law ls clear that munici pal corporations cannot make a by law (unless the power be plainly aud directly conferred) to enforce the payment of taxes by aalo of property. This power must be given, if not in express terms, yet by the clearest and most indubita ble implication. (Dillon on Muni cipal Corporations, sec. 656.) It results that lhe Legislature, hav log failed to confer the power,to collect this tax by direct sale, the attempt of tho Council and lhe Clerk so to do, obtains uo countenance in law, and must bo perpetually en joined. It is to ordered. Sepulveda, J. Shipping News. Sailed, Juno 3, hark Sieira Neva da, Neilson, master, In ballast for Departure Bay.
