Book Description

Excerpt from In the Circuit Court of the United States, Ninth Judicial Circuit, Northern District of California: The Spring Valley Water Works (a Corporation), Complainant, Vs. The City and County of San Francisco (a Municipal Corporation), The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco, and James P. Booth Et Al., Defendants I was very much surprised by counsel's attitude. He was not content with stating it once, but he stated it time and again. Indeed, this substitutional system was as worrying to him as was Banquo's ghost to Macbeth. There was not a session from the time he began his argument until he closed that he did not devote some part of it to the substitutional system. The use of the substitutional system has worried him beyond measure; and it is that system which, he has so solemnly said to your Honor, had no foundation either in law or reason.
