T“Oh, pshaw!” muttered Mr. Schussler, “that’s the same thing. We can’t take | that. It's only 550 feet high.” “Go on with the evidence,” said Chair- man Taylor, impatiently. “Indeed,” cried the Mayor, nettled, “I | { propose to go into this thing. You're wrong.

SUPERVISOR A L TAYLOR CHIEF ENGINEER SHUSSLER , DISCUSSION OF WATER RATES. Fisher yesterday afternoon.] water company—Chief Engineer Schussler, Attorney Kellogg and Adjuster Quinlan. Mayor Sutro presided until the board formally resolved itself into a committee, when Supervisor Taylor took the chair. The’ proceedings were opened by Attor- nev Kellogg, who read an extract from the municipal report of 1877, in which it was set forth that the city and county had {hen offered $11,000,000 for the water works. The offer was refused. “In 1893,” Mr. { Kellogg went on, “G. W. Reynolds, the | well-known expert accountant, was em- | ployed to bring down the report from 1877 | to 1893. I offer al! the testimony of Mr. | Reynolds that is found in the reporter's | transeript of February, 1893, of the pro- | ceedings of the Water Committee.” 'l‘his being admitted, Chief Engineer Schussler recalled for examination. He went r his records in response to questions | in order to show what had been invested e It showec as follo $30.000; 1880, $62 , $72,148 32; 050,085 94; 1884, 1886, §652,- 8, $2,723,251 30; , $637,454 18 1891, $683, - 5,837 19; total, $9.708,538 &6. n 1893 the construction account was $800,- 60 and in 1894 $312,982, making a grand total in round numbers of $10,820,000. This sum, Mr. Schussler explained, represented the simple cost and no interest was counted on it. Added to the $11,000,000 offered for | the woris in 1877, the value of the works i alone amonunted to $21,820,000. This was without the land owned and the enhanced lue of the property through improve- | ments, These figures were shown by the expert’s report. *‘What do you estimate the present value | of the works at ?” asked Attorney Kellogg. Engineer Schussler hesitated, and said e were two ways of looking atthe prop- ition. One was to take the cost and con- sider how the property had deteriorated or improved; another way was to find out what the cdst would be to bring the same amount of water from another source, to- | gether with the surety of increasing the | supply in the future at'cost. Mr, Schussler | also went into a long dissertation upon how in the past propositions for bringing water to this city had been considered by competent engineers, and all had agreed that the expense would be tremendous. Riparian rights on the American, Mokelumne and San Joaquin rivers were held very high = at the present time. The people in those sec- tions were only waiting for a chance to cinch the city of San Francisco by getting it as a taxable customer. In fact Mr. Schussler drew a dismal picture of what would happen to the city if it tried to get water from the interior. It would cost $20,000,000 for from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 | g:flons aday; then there would have to | a system of duplicate pipes, which cost about” two-thirds of double the original amount. In this mass of matter which the voluble Mr. Schussler unbosomed him- self of the original question of what he thought the works were worth was lost th sxiht of. Mr. Kellogg then asked the engineer if he had ap‘}])roximated the operating ex- | penses for the coming year. The engineer had done so, sayi total estimate would be about 2 Some of the main items were as follow: Lake Merced, $16,000; Belmont pum $15,000; Lott-street line, $10,000; Bald Hill line, $12,000; Lobos Creek, $2000; Crystal Spr:figs reservoir, §6000; city reservoir, $15,000; Black Point_station, $22,000; city stables, $18,000; main repairing, $28,0005 meter expenses, $3200; general expenses, $3500; ice expenses, $1200; Ashbury Heights reservorr, ; Ocean View pumps, $8000; salaries, $130,000. Attorney Kellogg then brought up the larendon Heights proposition, nndp the matter of the property-owners’ urgent vetition to have a sufficient number of pipes laid to give the district a good water supply. fixx)- Schussler said that the company in- tended to lay twelve-inch pipes through the district, as follows: From Seventeenth street to Corbett road; from there up to the | mass of evidence which you are piling up | here, unless we know some of the details. | You only want to shut it out.” “‘It is no such thing,” retorted Mr. Tay- lor, “I am chairman herc and I know how to preside.” The tempest then subsided and Mr. Schussler went on with his details regard- ing the workings of the various depart- | ments of the water company, and responded to various questions about the Alameda | Creek pumping works, the Crystal Springs d?m and other portions of the company’s plant. ESktiér hia Dreathing soelll ithe Mavor again came to the front with the question of improving of the Spring Valley water, which he had broached at the Board of Health meeting on Tuesday. ““Mr. Schussler,” said the Mayor, “it has been stated that the water of your com- not pure. Professor Price has ana- yzed it, and his analysis shows that it is unhealthy, in fact poisonous. Now, did | you ever have your water analyzed ?” “Idon’t know,” was the engineer's non- committal reply. | “Well,” went on the Mayor, “as Mayor of this city, I thought it my duty to report the condition of the water to the Board of Health. Itiscriminal, sir, to allow this water to be used. I speak only from what 1 have been told. I also understand that your water runs through cattle ranches.” | “Perhaps it would be a good plan_for | you to ride out with me and see if this is true,” said the wary Mr. Schussler. At this point J. Fitzgerald arose and em- phatically declared that he knew. that a stream from Colma in which hogs wal- lowed run into Lake Merced. ‘It must be true,”’ said the Mayor, “eon- sidering Professor Price’s analysis.” Under cross-examination Mr. zgerald, while disclaiming any hostility to Spring Valley, modestly admitted that he Img written several poems directed against Sfimng Valley for the benefit of the people. The poet of Milbrae (that is the place where Mr. Fitzgerald resides) then wanted to ask Mr. Schussler some questions, but the engineer very haughtily refused to speak to him. Mr. Fitzgerald then inter- viewed Mr. Schussler through Chairman Taylor as to the Searsville purchase and other matters. The Mayor again took a turn with Mr. Schussler ‘in regard to the quality of the water. He xske&"ML Schussler how long it had been since the Laguna Honda reser- voir had been emptied and cleaned. ]“Abcut eight or ten years,” was the re- ply. “I am told,” continued the Mayor, aggressively, “that you dare not empty it.” “It appears you have been toid a good many things,”” sarcastically remarked the engineer. ‘‘We dare do anything with our works. If we wanted to empty Laguna Honda we could, but if it was emptied the whole Western Addition would be without water, and then in case of fire where would the blame lie? We will have another re- servoir out there if we can get another piece of.land from you for it.”” ““I believe there is a foot of mud at the bottom of that reservoir,”” said the Mayor. ‘“‘But you don’t know it,” remarked Mr, Schussle: “Wh cried the Mayor, ‘‘you say you have not emptied it in ten years, and any one with common-sense would know what the wind blowsin. Another thing, is not that reservoir so cracked that it would col- lapse if you took the water out?”’ “I don’t think s0."” ‘“Why, it’s full of eracks,” said the Mayor, and Mr. Schussler admitted that there were some in it. He denied, though, that the brick sewer from the Almshouse which ran along the cracked wall was broken and that the se(-{‘age from it flowed into the reservoir. Mayor Sutro then launched into an emergetic address, ‘“‘Don’t think I have anything against Spring Valley,” he said, ‘“nor you, Mr. Bcguss eT, nor Mr. Kellogg, Mr. Howard nor any of them, but 1 consider it my duty to let the people of this city know what kind of water they are drinking. Iwantto give the company a square deal—’ “But you don’t,” interrupted Schussler. ‘It i¢ my duty also to call the attention of Suflervxsors to the abuses which exist, and the board should go and examine the Twenty-fourth street; thence to Ellen, one block ; thence to Twenty-fifth, to Douglass, one block; thence to Clifford, half a block; whole system,” went on the Mayor. “‘That’s talk to the gallery,”” sneered Mr. Schussler. | their pu | while anothe “Are you in the gallery?” queried the Mayor, quite solemnly, and Schussler ad- mitted t?mt he was not. After some further words Lake Merced ame up, and the engineer said that it was not now in use, and before it would be used again it would have a thorough over- hauling. “The Board of Health will make sure that it is,” snapped the Mayor, “and will analyze the water every few weeks, too.” “All right,’ id Schussler, as he retired. George 1. Booker, a clerk in the Sprin, Valley Company’s office, was then calle and questioned “as to the money which he thought would be required to fit out the works during the coming fiscal year. He agreed with Mr. Schussler ag to the $390,300 and also the $1,729,800. : ““Will rates under the present order pro- duce that amount?”” asked Mr. Taylor. “No,” replied the witne A long examination then followed as to the meter proposition and the methods of | the company regarding them. Mr. Taylor wanted to know why rates could notlge e seemed to_think that a general meter sys- tem would be best. = In response toa question Mr. Booker said it would cost about $600,000 to meter the city, and that it_would cost $80,000 a year to keep them. With meters, though, people wou&d be more careful with water, and in order to keep up to a paying basis | rates would have to be advanced., After Mr. Booker had been relieved a communication from John A. Milier. M.D., wasread. It set forth that present water rates were extortionate, and that as long as the city did not own _its own water works the citizens have a right to expect that hase of water may be on the same business principles which govern trade, namely, that if a price per measure is set the consumer be allowed to pay for the amount he use: The present ordinance should be amended by striking out the meter charges and inserting a uniform rate of 20 cents per 100 cubic feet for water fur- nished by meter rates. The section pro- viding that no meter bill shall be less than $3 was termed arbitrary and tyrannical. As to meter rates, the language of the law s plain_that they must be uniform. The statute is violated if the small consumer is required to pay 30 cents for 100 cubic feet who uses a larger quantity, only pays 13 cents per cubic feet. The ex- pectation of the water cumxpnny to charge by measurement without furnishing the measurement is ridiculous, concludes the communication. The communication was filed, after | which Attorney Kellogg made his argu- ment in behalf of the water company. He reviewed all the testimony, and said all the company wanted to make was 6 per cent on its stock, interest on its bonded debt (say 4} per cent), operating expenses an money to pay its taxes. The present or- dinance wonld not produce a sufficient amount, and a cut would have to be made somewhere. The company could not ask for a raise in Tates, An ordinance should be passed similar to the present one, orone in some form which would produce the in- come of last year. He denounced the as- sertions that the water was impure as libelous. Denis Kearney spoke briefly, urging that water rates be fixed according to property values, which would benefit the poor and compel the rich to pay their just dues. The committee then adjourned until | Monday next. AT THE PLAYHOUSES. | Treasurer Morgenstern of the Baldwin to Be Given a Benefit. Miss Marie Burroughs is interesting large audiences at the Baldwin Theater. More interest in fact is bestowed in the star than in the Miss Burroughs is a charming actress in every way. She has beauty, ease and grace in great abundance, and can charm her audiences by merely standing still. Next week she will appear in Henry Arthur Jones’ great play, “Judah.” Sunday evening, March 17, Louis A. Morgenstern, treasurer of the Baldwin, Miss Marie Burroughs. will be tendered a complimentary benefit by the management. The attraction will be Marie Burroughs in “Judah.” Mr. Morvgenstern is a great favorite among theatrical people, and by his kindness and patience in the box-office he has made many fiiends in the general public. “The Great Black Crook’ is pleasing the patrons of Stockwell’s Theater.

She has already proved a valu- able acquisition to the house. “In the Ranks’” is drawing such large audiences that Mr. Morosco has decided to produce it next week also. % There is no diminution in the audiences at the California Theater, where Hoyt's lively comedy, “A Temperance Town,” holds the boards.

B STOREY I§ THEIR ENGINEER. UABLE MAN FOR THE VALLEY ROAD. HEAVY RAILS WILL BE USED. PASSENGER CARS OF THE VERY LaTtest Desions WILL BE PROVIDED. The very important position of engineer of the valley road has at last been filled— at least an offer of the place has been made to a gentleman, and his acceptance is expected by the board of directors at any time. The successful man is W. B. Storey, who was for a number of years an assistant in the office of Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Pacific. About a year ago Mr. Storey quit the service of that company and is at present connected with the United States Debris Commission. He is said to be a very capa- ble young man, is a native son and was educated at the University of California. The question of rails for the new road formed the subject for consideration at an important meeting of the board of directors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Val= ley line yesterday. The directors have been flooded with cir- culars and letters from the large rolling- mill companies of the East who desire to furnish the necessary rails, and to one of | hem the contract will necessarily be given, but there is a manifest determination amaong the officials to give the all-possible contract to California firms when it is found they are able to supply the mate- rials needed at anywhere near a reasonable cost. This feeling in favor of the home manu- facturers extends to all the material which will be used in the construction of the road. As the line is to be built by the money of the people of California, it'is believed the State’s workingmen and manufacturers should derive ali possible benefits from sup- plying the material. One of the problems which confronts the board in this matterof railsis that of trans- portation. It was the expressed conviction of one of the foremost movers in the enter- prise yesterday that the first work of con- struction would be done in the San Joaquin Valley. ““It will probably be some time,’” said he, ‘‘before the actual terminus of the road on the bay will be determined, but the route through the San Joaquin Valley, oratleast the lower portion of 1t, can be much more easily settled. This is why I believe the first work will be done in that locality, and right here arises the question of how weare oing to get the rails on the ground at the east expense. Of course, we might shi them by the Southern Pacific, but we all know that in that event the local freight bill would probably be almost as great as the original cost of the rails. The only other possible plan is that of transportation by water. ““Now, a good portion of the year navi- ation is possible into the San Joaquin A R Landing, by way of Stockton. What, then, would bea better plan than to commence the roaa at that point—as it appears to be pretty generally understood that it will be on the line—and work either in one direction or both ways?” There has also been a_good deal of desul- tory talk among the directors regardin, the quality and kind of rolling stock whicl will be used on the new road. Of course, it is as yet a little early to give this matter consideration, and it probably will not re- ceive the official attention of the board for some time to come, but, still, the matter is one of importance and nothing is lost by discussing it. 1t is pretty safe to say_that the people of California will be provided with a class of | coaches which they have not been accus- tomed to riding in in the past. The pres- ent is an auspicious time for the purchase of this class of rolling stock, as it is, in fact, for all kinds. Labor and material are both cheap, and in the published accounts of competitive bids for cars made by differ- ent Eastern companies lately it is notice- able that the work is being done probably 50 per cent less than it could have been done for five years ago. A first-class coach of modern make and finished in fine style can be bought to-day for the same amount of money, if not for less, than the Southern Pacific paid for its antiquated specimens which render life miserable, on the journey East especially. The high back and chair cars are in great favor in the East, and the latter is afforded the public free of extra cost, and it is be- lieved that the same service can be given here. ‘The passenger traffic on the new line, it is believed, will be one from which no in- considerable revenue will be derived, and the directors are determined that the pub- lic shall in good measure be afforded all the comforts of travel an up-to-date service in this respect can give. After yesterday’s meeting Vice-President Whittier stated that a 60-pound steel rail would be used in the valley and a 70-pound rail in the mountainous country. “We will have some big subscriptions for you at our next meeting,” said he as he buttonholed a substantial looking citizen and rushed him into the inner sanctum. Arrested for Smuggling. Nick Lopez, one of the crew of the steamer Acapulco, was rearrested by United States Marshal Baldwin yesterday. Last February he ‘was caught smuggling cigars and was held to answer in $500 bonds by United States Com- missioner Heacock. When the Grand Jury in- dicted him he could not be found. Surrendered Himself. George Metzger gave himself up at the City Prison yesterday. He is a bartender, and last July was arrested for carrying a loaded pistol and lewd pictures. He put up $400 bail and th_:.:ll disappeared. He now wants to stand trial. e Durest Tieh Siectest e(leanest PLUG TOBACCO ever made,* NEW TO-DAY. 33 DAYS MOR And We Cease to Exist!
