10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1895 PRESIDENT OF THE OAKLAND COUNCLL. WALTER G. MANUEL SAID TO BE THE MAN BOOKED FOR THE PLACE. DAVIE AND THE WHARVES. ProPoSED TAX oN BICYCLES AND OTHER VEHICLES—PROFESSOR. HUFF DESTITUTE. vow definitely understood that ncilman Walter G. Manuel will be the president of the new Council. He repre- sents the Third Ward in the present Council. It has been generally conceded that one of the old members, or hold-overs, should occupy the important post of chairman, and, as both Messrs. Pow and Towle had held the office, it was agreed among the Non-Partisans that some other member should be chosen. Manuel is the man on whom the honor will fall. There is one question which, it is said, the new administration would like much to see definitely settled, and that is the attitude of the old Board of Public Works, which was voted out of office by the adop- tion of the charter amendments. The old board has threatened to hold on, and its attorney, George de Golia, has intimated that he is prepared to make a fight in the courts. Despite_ these threats. however, SRR Attorney-elect Piersol and En- seer-elect Wilson will meet and organize rd of Public Works after the first Monday in A and proceed to the trans- action of business. It is thomght that all that is left of the old board, Miller and Hughes, will do the e and that Mr. Carothers will continue hold until Mavor Dayie appoints his { essor. The Mayor will not appoint a or because that would be a recogni- n of the old board and Carothers will continue to hold the office. This will make both boards complete as | to membership and both may proceed with | business. Both w at the end of the month present salary demands, and under istructions from y Attorney Piersol Auditor Snow will refuse to recognize the waerants of the old body. Thisitisthought | to will precipitate the contest which the old | board seeks to make in the courts. There promises to be an early conflict between the Mayor-elect and ~the new Council over the occupancy of the Frank- lin-street wharf. The old Council has voted toallow J. P. Taylor a portion of the wharf for his coal bunkers, and this the new Mayor has always opposed. The new Councit will have in it a sufficient number of the old Council’s members to carry the scheme through, and although the ordinance has been passed and signed b r-elect has inti- by Mayor Pardee the May mated that ther? is relief in the courts. Mayor-elect Davie said yesterday on this subject The effect of this ordinance will be to remove slip and the warehouse and there is no more money to build either. This is a port of | y and ought to have a fine warehouse for | the accommodation of merchants. I will not allow Mr. Taylor to erect & bunker there until the courts decide that he has a right to do so. | Webster-street wharf has been used exclusively for the discharging of cosl cargoes, and there | would be more revenue for the city if that | whari should be used for that purpose, because the Coos Bay Coal Company, which discharg more coal .than any other company here d: charges there. If we must have bunkers, let us build bunkers for, the general use of all the people. Instead of two docks, one on either side of the pier, the bunkers could be arranged so that they would be an injury to no one. | It is a guestion of money, and that is the only reason the Council has advanced in favor of the proposition, Why not dispose of the wWharf to the railroad company altogether? They could fence it up and make everybody depend upon them, and be willing to pay treble the | amount for it that any other corporation or person would pay. The Council has no more Tight to rent that wharf for the exclusive use | of an individual then it has to rent the City Hall Park for a cabbage garden. The Council was speedy about passing the ordinance, I must say, especiaily as[had an application before that body for the use of the wharf with the steamer Mare Island, which would bring the ity in a revenue of 0. 1 doubt if Taylor ever paid more than $2000 a year for the privilege. In this fight over the city wharves the Mayor-elect will be backed by the mer- chants, who have already waited on him and requested him to keep the wharves open for the people. The committee from the Merchants’ Exchange to call on the Mayor-elect on the subject consisted of George Fish, M. V. Witcher, Fred Sinclair, Charles Hunt, F. R. Girard, Walter Meese, Fred Becker, J. A. Fairchild, 8. Samuels, Frank Mott and H. D. Cushing. President Fish said in speaking of the matter: “I think T voice the sentiment of 250 mer- chants of this city when I say Iam op- posed to granting any of the little city wharf of this city of Oakland, with a popu- Jation of 60,000, o the exclusive use of any individual or set of individuais.” The will be an _election contest for Councilman in the Sixth Ward. Edward | F. Gilligan, who was defeated in that ward by Wilham Watkinson, is now pre- paring contest-papers. Gilligan has re- tained Attorney Lincoln Church to act for him. Watkinson was declared elected by five plurality over Gilligan. A New Deal Inaugurated. The bondholders of the Consolidated Piedmont Cable Company held a meeting in San Francisco Thursday and effected a thorough rcorgani zation of that system. It was agreed that the new company should be known as the Piedmont and Mountain View Railway Company, and Charles Bishop, who purchased the Pied- mont cable road for the bondholders, will turn the property over to the Tnew corpora- tion. “The cqpit\al stock of the Piedmont and Mountain View Company will be $1,000,000, di’;ihded into 10,000 shares. 1 2 e officers elected for the ensuing year will be: Charles Bishop, president;g]'f. A. Heron, vice-president; aniel Grant, secre- tary, and the Oakland Bank of Savings treasurer, while Charles Bishop, S. C. Bige- low, E. A. Heron, John R. Spring and Homer King are nanied as directors. The bondholders were nearly all repre- sented.at the meeting, and of the 990 bonds | now out the bolders of 930 have signed the reorganization agreement, and the others have signified their intention to be on the list when the new company is finally in- corporated. Reformer Huff Destitute. Professor A. Huff, who has for years been identified with all reform movements in Oakland of & financial character, isin a destitute condition and sick at 857 Fallon street. His case was yesterday re- gortcd to the Associated Charities by a riend who has given him aid. Professor Huff is_the author of a book entitled “‘Looking Into Things; or the Great Conspiracy That New Is.” The hook treats in a philosophical way of the silver guestion and has received consider- able attention from financiers. Professor Huff is past seventy vears of age and has recently been identified with the Populist movement. He has become a famitiar figure in all their councils and conventions and has delivered many speeches on re- form questions. It is understood now that a movement is on foot among his friends, who had lost { front in which it is { anniversary of the founding of the Univer- 1w has been stated that at least a quarter of a million dollars are invested in the silent steeds in Oakland, and now, in order to keep the streets in repair, it is said the Council proposes putting a tax on wheels. This tax would cover buggies, carts, hacks, wagons and all other sorts of wheeled vehicles and bicycles, but because of the large number of the latter the bulk of the tax would come from that source. It is thought that by levying a tax of $1 to $2 a year, at least $10,000 could be raised annualf: and this amount would go far toward seftling the question of good roads. In Chicago bicycles are taxed §2 per year, and Paris, it is said, raises a large annual revenue from this source. 9 Bicycle owners are much agitated over the matter, and it is thought they will enter a vigorous protest if an attempt is made to impose such a tax. Caught Redhanded. Constable Storch of Fruitvale to-night brought to the County Jail a young man who said his name was Gilkinson. Healso gave his name asG. R. Woodhull. "He was captured in a residence in Fruitvale in the act of looting it, and considerable stuff was found on his person, among other things iwo bracelets, diamond cuff buttons, gold chain and some other jewelry, He had fortified himself with a new Smith & Wes- istol and a bottle of whisky, and it is upposed from these latter articles that he is new in the business. He said he had never before been arrested. He is quite a young fellow, giving his age as 16. ‘Was Rae the Robber ? It is said that there is new evidence suffi- cient to connect George Rae with the Jud- son robbery, and the detectives are now working up the case against him. Rae was arrested for the crime, but was acquitted, and was taken to San Francisco to answer a charge of forgery and embezzle- ment. He pleaded guilty and is now serv- ing a term of one year in San Quentin. As soon as his time has expired he will be arrested and tried on the charge of being a Judson robber. Dingee’'s Peacocks Stolen. Thieves looted the chicken-yard of W. J. Dingee on Thursday night, carrying away a wagon-load of choice fowls, including four peacocks, a dozen turkeys and at least 200 chickens. & Mr. Dingee has a fine country home in Hays Canyon known as Fernwood, and was especially proud of his peacocks, whose value was probably $100. He was living in the city during the wet season, and the place was in charge of hired help. The thieves smashed the chicken-house door, backed up their wagon, loaded up and drove off in the darkness. The Cassasa Benefit. Cassasa’s celebrated ‘Exposition Band will give a grand concert at the Macdon- | ough Theater, Friday evening, March 29, for the benefit of the Grand Parlor com- mittee, N.S. G. W. Mr. Cassasa will be | assisted by W. E. Bates, the young Amer- ican cornet soloist, and Mrs. W. E. Bates, the eminent female soloist, and a host of the best soloists in California. The sale of seats for this concert will begin Tuesday, March 26. Notes. The Supreme Court rendered a decision against Owen Rooney yesterday. Rooney was convicted some monthsago on a charge of violating the license ordinance in selling liquor at the broad-gauge mole. enry Dalton & Sonsof the iron foundry have built a bulkhead inclosing a piece of overflowed land 200x300 feet on the water | proposed to dump the city garbage for the next two years. BERKELEY. An attempt was made by two unknown persons to enter the house of John Irwin, on Blake street, early yesterday morning, but the thieves were frightened away be- fore securing any boot; It is supposed that they are the same individuals who at- tempted to enter the grocery-store of J. K. Stuart, on Shattuck avenue, last Tuesday night. Burglaries and hold-ups in Berkeley are becoming numerous, and unless some action is taken-to increase the police force it will be dangerous to go about the town at night. Within the last month no less than six burglaries and hold-ups were recorded. Charter Day Exercises.

Death of John Timmons, One of the Builders of the South Yuba Canal. Formerly a Millionaire. John Timmons, one of the builders of the South Yuba canal, and who was at ome time a millionaire miner, died on Tuesday at the Almshouse. He was associated with the Bonanza people in the seventiesand finally lost all his money in stock specula- tions and found his way to the poorhouse. Timmons came to California in 1849 from Ireland, where his people were of high- standing, his sister having married an earl. In the fifties he was associated with J. 8. Green, the Husseys and other lead- ing spirits who did so much to develop the resources of Nevada County. They built the Remingtoh Hill ditch in 1858. This was the first large ditch built in the county and later they dug the South Yuba canal, which was sold for a large sum to Alvinza Hayward in1872. Timmons owned mines at Chalk Bluff and Remington Hill. = After the sale of his property to Hayward he came to-this city with a large fortune and began to speculate in stocks. He finally lost everything. Some friends who had lost track of him for years on learning of his death gave him decent burial. — . o HIGGINS HOLDS ON.

It was refused. | Quo garranto proceedings will be begunin | the Superior Court of this city to test the | case.” The Attorney-General will, ex-officio, be | the representative of Mr. Gesford.

AT PRESENT THE LOCAL MARKET Is SussecT TO FLUC- TUATIONS. IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION. BUILDING CONTRACTS FOR THE WEEK INDIcATE A LARGER VoLumE oF WORK. A rather singular feature of the real estate market at the present season is it appears to be subject to impulse resulting from causes that are not easy to trace with any degree of certainty. One week the agents report an appreciable stir among investors, which would lead to the conclu- sion that prosperity was coming back in one bound, orat least that interest and confidence in city real property were so suddenly revived good results must event- ually be seen. Next week many agents are not quite so sanguine. Indeed they speak with a dubious air as to what may be expected for realty business this coming summer. Inquiry that was brisk before falis away, dnd buyers are rather more difficult to please. Under the influence of hope and ex- pectancy created by the valley road suc- cess, and feeling more confident by other signs of improvement in San Francisco, there was a decided change for the better in the market. But something even more substantial is needed to sustain a continu- ous and %mdunl building up of business. Possibly the market is having this experi- ence just now, for it is not particularly lively. Some capitalists haye asked, “Is this bot- tom?” They meant if values have actually shrunk to the lowest point, and inferred a doubt whether they have, or whether they may drop lower. With such a feelin, capital must necessarily be timid still, al- though the bulk of real estate buyers have unlimited confidence in the future of city real estate, and consequently are willing to buy at ruling prices, which are certain of advancing in a year or two. Withal eonditions have improved since | the first of this year and are now so good th'ey- might be a’great deal worse. Three auction sales were held within the last week. They are supposed to have |been a good test of the market, and although quite a number of properties of- fered did not find buyers enough was sold at prices regarded as satisfactory to indi- cate that some improvement has taken place in the real estate situation. The demolition of the fence stand and buildings of the Haight-street baseball grounds was commenced this week, and the preliminary work on open- ing cross streets through the land was A grading contract has been let and the property will be raised to gfficial levels at once and be on the market in a month or two. X Von Rhein & Co. report sales as follows: Lot on the southeast line of Mission street, 175 southwest of Seventh, 75x83, with one lot of 25 feet running through to Minna street. The buyer, James Shea, trustee, was represented in the negotiation by J. J. O'Far- rell & Co.; price paid is $35,000. Also lot on the north line of Sixteenth street, between Valenela and Guerrero, 68x100 {feet, to Messrs, Taussig & Eisenbach; price, $10,- 000.

THE AGENT OF A BARGE COMPANY WANTsS TO CARRY THE REFUSE TO SEA. The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors heard arguments yesterday as to whether it would be safer or more economical to burn the garbage of the city or to dump it into the bay and allow the tides to carry it into the ocean. E. A. Williams, G. P. Rixford and repre- sentatives of Wakelee & Co. appeared and urged that the committee advise the board to advertise for bids for a fifty years’ fran- chise for the cremation of the refuse. They argued that the burning of the garbage would be of vast benefit to the city, doing away with the dumps, which are not only an eyesore but a menace to the health of the community. They cited ‘the cases of Eastern cities where all refuse is burned in huge crema- tories, and stated that for §250,000 a crema- tory could he built at aconvenient spot near the city where all garbage could be speedily and profitably disposed of. They declared their intention of bidding for the privilege in case the board would make the term of the franchise fifty years and allow eighteen months for the mldmg of the lant. They also urged that the franchise let to the persons offering the highest rice for the privilege and charging the owest rates for burning. > A. Heyneman, who represented a bage barge company, asked the committee to consider a proposition from his concern to tow the garbage in barges to a point outside the heads and dump it into the ocean. He argued that such a process would not only be cheaper, but far prefera- ble from a sanitary point of view, as the smells and smoke which must inevitably arise from a crematory would be avoided, The committee declined to take action and will consider the matter at its next meeting. Cowley regarded ‘“The Mistresse'’ as his beut.' It was a collection of love poems, and is now almost entirely forgotten.
