THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1895. 9 LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, Municipal Officials Who Had to Pay Their Poll Taxes. THE FABIOLA FETE PLANS. Baptist Ministers Express Confi- dence in Rev. J. George Gibson. Yesterday was warrant day in the Au- e for City officials, and many : almost trembling for fear their ers on the treasury would be sequence of the notice n the Auditor by Assessor Dalton to give out warrants until the recipi- s had paid their poll-tax. They were reeably disappointed, however, when arrants were handed out without :able questions being asked. n they went to the Treasurer’s office for checks on the bank where municipal funds are kept their smiles changed to irowns, for there, behind the desk, stood Deputy Tax Collector Foster, ting for his metallic pound of flesh, as it were. & urer Gilpin heeded the notice of ssor, and those who could not show a poll-tax re pt for 1895 were in- formed that they must put up the neces- sary $2 to acquire one before their checks would be forthcoming. Nearly $100 was collected by this method, and Mr. Foster grew happy as the poll-taxes of Chief of the Fire Department Lawton, Assistants Miles Doody rdock and Prosecuting Attorney Me gled into his sack.

The signal will be given just as the deco- | rated parade makes its final round, and in aminute the air will be thick with sweet- scented blossoms. In regard to the special train service Su- perintendent A. D. Wilder has served no- tices of the additional accommodations, so those journeying from San Francisco need | not fear any protracted wait at the mole. To those who will come in private car- riages notice has been issued that no charge will be made for the vehicle, the occupants only being taxed at the regular price. The seats in the grand stand will be reserved, and will not be included in the general 50- | cent admission. No reservations will be sold in advance, and as the tickets will | anly be disposed of on the grounds every ill have a fair chance. e day will be observed in Oakland asa general holiday. All the stores will be closed from noon until 6 p. a., and in Ala- meda and Berkeley a general observance will be maae by many of the establish- ments. It is easy to see that there will be a large attendance, for the fete is on every one’s lips and the sale of tickets has already genn quite extensive. Every care has been taken to insure absolute order on the grounds, and the rowdyism which has occasionally marked bicy:le races at other places will be entirely absent. During the course of the afternoon a driving exhibition will be given by some of the professional horsemen, and the pick of the horses quartered at the track will be seen. This will be given as a prelude to the races proper of the horsemeet, so the track will be occupied from noon until the hour when the festivities close. Rev. J. George Gibson Indorsed. The Baptist Ministers’ Union, compris- ing the pastors of that denomination in San Francisco and adjacent cities, met at the Y. M. C. A. rooms yesterday afternoon, and passed resolutions of confidence in Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of the Em- manuel Baptist Church of San Francisco. The fact that the matter was to come be- fore the union drew a large number of members to the meeting. There was little discussion and no opposition to the resolu- tions, and after being read by the secre- tary, they were passed unanimously, as follows: WHEREAS, Our brother, Rev. J. George Gib- son, pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church of San Francisco, is a member of v.gu body and hes ever been considered worthy of our con- fidence; and, whereas, he has, in our opinion, been unkindly and unjustly placed before the public by the éntirely gratuitous and unfounded nccusations of the press and insinuations of the court in a manner tending 1o seriously reflect apon him & & man and & minister, therefore, Resolved. That we, the Baptist Ministers’ | D Union of San Franeisco and vicinity, hereby express our deepest sympathy with him in the trying circumstances in which he has been placed,and our undiminished and implicit con- fidence in him, and that copies of these resolu- tions be furnished to the press. The defense of the Salvation Army in the fight against the ordinance prohibiting street’ meetings was discussed informally by some of those present, but no action was taken by the unien. Will Make Them Work. County Clerk Jordan made sad the hearts of the extra copyists in his own office and that of the Recorder when he appeared be- fore the meeting of the Board of Super- visors yesterday and complained of the work done by these city employes. Some time ago the Supervisors passed a resolution employing four extra copyists for the County Clerk’s office, and a like number for the Recorder’s department. Their duties were to copy old books that had become worn through age and usage, and, being employed by the board, were not directly under the supervision of the officials named. : ; Mr. Jordan stated that in many in- stances the work for which they are paid $100 per month is not done in a satisfactory manner, either as to guantity or quality, and that unless some change was made he would refuse to certify to their salary de- mands. He asked that a resolution be passed placing the men in his office directly under Eis authority and subject to his orders. A measure was adopted placing all extra copyists directly under the supervision of the principals in the offices in which they are employed. Mr. Jordan stated aiter the meeting that the copyists under discussion were costing the county nearly $10,000 per year, and he thought that they should be compelled to render services adequate to their com- pensation. Charles 0. Alexander, formerly State Harbor Commissioner, was appcinted a copyist in the Recorder’s office. A Conductor’s Trip. A large delegation of Southern Pacific Railway conductors with their families will leave here on May 7 for a flying trip of 9000 miles through the Eastern States. They will be gone four or five weeks, and during that e will visit Salt Lake, Den- ver, Fort Wayne, Dallas, Tex., New Or- leans, Atlanta, Memphis, Chattanooga, Richmond, Washington, Mount Vernon, Harpers rerry, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Niagara Falls, Buifalo, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul. The main object of the trip isto attend the annual convention of the Order of Railway Conductors at Atlanta, Ga., where a two days’ stop will be made. The return will be made by the way of Winnipeg and the Canadian Pacific, stops being made at Vie- toria, Seattle, Tacoma and I&«)rtlnn& Good Roads Association. The municipal authorities of Oakland received a good overhauling at the hands of a committee of the Good Roads Asso- ciation of Alameda County ina report which was submitted to a meeting of that body last evening. The committee had been appointed to draft ordinances to com- pel street railroad, gas and water com- panies and other corporations to place the streets in thorough repair after tearing them up to lay tracks or mains. The com- mittee reported that such an ordinance has been in existence for years though not in any manner enforced, and that Al meda and Berkeley, with similar mun cipal laws in effect and enforced, have lendid streets, while Oakland is a city practically without streets. Thereport was signed by Fred L. Whitney, L. G. Burpee | and George A. Faulkner, all business men and property-owners. Thinks She Is Dead. Mrs. Mamie Brown, a handsome youn, woman, who lived with her father, Wil- liam J. Elder, at 2147 Encinal avenue, Ala- meda, was sent to the asylum at Stockton by the Lunacy Commissioners yesterday. Mrs. Brown, whose husband died a cou- ple of years ago, imagines that she is dead and has become a spirit. Her malady is thought to have been brought on by brooding over her husband’s death and by the excessive reading of books on theosophy, magnetism and mes- merism. Salvationists Not Tried. The expected battle between the legal forces of the Salvation Army and the Police Court, did not materialize yesterday. At- torney E. M. Gibson, who represents the army, asked for a continuance on the ground that he had been unable to prepare his case. When Judge Wood had granted his reguest, the lads and es trudged out_under eommand of Ensign Wood, as smiling as though their case was already won. BERKELEY. Until yesterday it was an uncertainty whether James W. Scoggins, the U. C. sprinter, who did such phenomenal work last year, would accompany the team which leaves for the East next Thursday, on account of the lack of funds at the dis- posal of the manager. Yesterday morning Colonel George Ed- wards and several others commenced to solicit a loan from the students with which to pay the expenses of Scoggins, and be- fore night they had secured §1 It is now an assured thing that he will go, and there is yet a possibility of sending Brown, the mile runner. The addition of Scoggins’ name to the list makes eleven mer who will contest with Eastern athletes. An Unknown Man’s Body. Late this afternoon word was received by Ed Donnely, foreman of the Alameda Water Company, Berkeley, that the dead body of an unknown man had been found on the company’s property near Wildcat Creek, Contra Costa County. The dis- covery was made by a Spanish boy who was Lierding cattle in the neighborhood. He stated that he thought the man had been dead for about two weeks and that the coyotes had eaten away one side of his face. No examination of the body was made, but word was sent at once to the Coroner of Contra Costa County at Mar- tinez of the discovery. University Programme. Followinf is a list of the occurrences that will take place in connection with the uni- versity between now and the close of the term: May 1—Last day for applications for Phebe Hearst scholarships for 1! gb annual examina- tions begin on_this date also.

The election of officers for next term to serve on the Berkeleyan, the University daily, took place yesterday afternoon. Harry Hirst, '96, was elected editor-in- cbief, and John Howell, 96, business man- ager. A new board of five directors was also elected, consisting of Harry Hirst, George F. Reinhardt, Fred W. Koch, John Howell and M. Whipple. Lecture to School Children. Rev. William G. Hubbard of Columbus. Ohio, will deliver a lecture to the pupils o the Berkeley High School to-day at 1 o'clock.

Schmidt of Berkeley. Tre health autborities of a number of States have recently made exhaustive ex- aminations of the baking powders with the uniform result of finding the Royal supe- rior to all others. [T MAY BE A WAY OUT. The Supervisors Pass a Res- olution Promising to Pay. NOW TO THE SUPREME COURT. The Plan to Hold Out Salaries Meets With Little Support. The efforts tol pull the City out of its distressful financial difficulty was pbegun yesterday on the lines which the Carn of yesterday morning said would be em- ployed. The report of the Finance Committee which was presented to the Board of Su- pervisors at its meeting yesterday after- noon led the way. It referred to the deci- sions of the court which upheld the doc- trine that the purchases of one fiscal year cannot be paid out of the funds of another, and then said that the doctrine was good, but that it had been interpreted too much, so to speak—had been carried too far; that the doctrine that contractors are sup- posed to know the condition of the treas- ury and the law, also, as to the City’s lia- bility had led them to refuse to furnish further supplies and was wrong; that the language okthe court to the effect that no debt which the Supervisors had discretion to incur or not to incur could be paid out of any money of the succeeding fiscal year could not apply to the purchase of provi- sions for the maintenance of the City’s in- stitutions, for that was beyond the Super- visors’ discretion—the argument, in fact, that was quoted from Judge McKinstry in the CALL yesterday. Then followed the resolution announc- ing the intention of the board to levya tax for next year sufficient for the payment of bills contracted for supplies purchased now, and which throws down the gauntlet to previous theories on this question. It reads as follows: Resolved, That whereas there are no funds in the treasury to meet the obligations constitu- tional and statutory enforced upon this board to carry on and maintain the public institu- tions and departments or to perform govern- mental functions, and the merchants who have furnished supplies, owing to that fact have given notice that’ no more supplies will be furnished sfter the 30th day of this month; and whereas, such a condition, unless averted, would be fraught with grave conse- quences, the lives and property of our citizens jeopardized and the various functions of the municipality suspended; therefore be it Resolved, That this board ;hereby determines and declares that it will, in'the tax levy of the coming fiscal year, raise and provide therein sufficient funds to pay all demands out of the fund of that year to pay for goods, wares and merchandise furnished and services performed which were absolutely necessary for the sup- port and maintenance of the municipality during the present fiscal year. Resolved, Thaton and after the 1st day of July, 1895, the board will allow and order paid all of the demands for goods, wares and merchandise furnished and services performed to enable the municipality to perform its re- spective functions during the present fiscal year. This was presented by Chairman Taylor of the Finance Committee and no voice was raised against it. The next step in the programme is for some one to go be- fore the Supreme Court and ask for an order restraining the board, or a writ of mandate or whatever may be proper, to stay the purpose of the resolution and by that means secure a decision from the court as to the right of the board to levy such a tax. To go to court a lawyer is necessary. City Attorney Creswell is the proper per- son to represent the board, but he has been arguing on the other side of this same question so long, on behalf of the City too, that the board cannot ask him to straddle such a wide situation, and ac- cordingly the next step was represented by the following resolution: WHEREAS, In case of litigation affecting the right of thisboard to providein thelevy of next year suficient funds to pay for goods, wares and merchandise supplied during the present year to enable the municipality to perform its constitutional and statutory duties, it is proper that the City and County should be repre- sented; therefore, hereby empowered to employ E. W. MeKinstry and A. L. Rhodes s special counsel on behalf of and to appear for the City and County if any proceedings are instituted to question the power of the board to provide for and pay the expense of maintaining the government. This also was not opposed. Steps will be taken to-day to prepare a case and take it to the Supreme Court. If the court decides that the City has the right to levy a tax, to be collected in the next fiscal year, to pay for goods purchased now, it is said the atmosphere will clear at once, for the contractors will no longer hesitate to furnish all that may be desired and wait for their pay. In the meantime, howeyer, the cupboard is growing bare in all the institutions. Sup- erintendent Weaver of the Almshouse is in absolute distress about his Seople. says the 900 inmates are already on short rations. He was downtown yesterday making personal pleadings with the con- tractors for a load of potatoes and only se- cured it upon a written guarantee that the money would be forthcoming to-day. No supplies will be furnished any of the institutions after to-day unless assurance is given that there are funds in the treas- ury to meet them. The heads of departments were in ges- sion almost all of yesterday discussing the proposition to hold out the salaries of the employes—for which there will be just about money enough—but no conclusions were reached. The Mayor and Chairman Taylor thought such a remedy shall be sgoumneou: on_the part of the clerks themselves, but it was anything but that. The discussion went all over the ground that has been covered at previous meet- inlgs for the same purpose. It consumed all the tnm‘nmgk‘l and adjourned to the afternoon. At the afternoon session the champions of the salary scheme intro- duced an even more drastic suggestion—that the heads of departments and others do- nate, say, half their salaries for a month outright to the City with which to tide the institutions over until the taxes begin to come in. This met with no enthusiasm whatever. It was the result of the opposition to the mere holding-out-of-the-warrants- until-the-end-of-the-month plan. This op- sition declared that it was not law- ul; that a thing cannot be done indi- rectly under the law which is unlawful to be done directly. That is, if there are no funds for the contractors this year, but are funds for salaries, it would be unlawful to give the money to the contractors and allow the warrant-holders to be paid out of next year’s funds. There will be another meeting to-day to further discuss this phase of the case. . Auditor Broderick has lprepsred an esti- mate of the shortage liable to be found in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year, and whence it comes. It includes amounts of money which have been paid out of this year’s revenues, but which were not and could not have been anticipated—such as the June salaries of the last fiscal year, which were paid in July of this year—making thirteen months’ salaries to be paid this year. Other amounts paid out are on court orders, etc., which are mandatory without even the formality of auditing. Other items repre- sent a shortage of revenues anticipated, such as in the collection of delinquent taxes. Still other items represent an excess of expenditure by different departments be- yond the allowance. The estimate as pre- pared is as follows: June salaries Court orders. ,000 “ounty Cierk . 25,000 Burials of indigent dead. 1,700 Collection of definquent taxes 51250 Assessor. .. 20,000 Tax Collector. 7,500 He | Assessments and military State Boara Toll, State raise. ... ... 8,500 Coroner, increase (Legislature, stenog- rapher) . . 1100 Treasurer (Legislature, two fee clerks). 1,800 Smallpox hospital. 500 Judgments ...

A majority protest was presented to the Board of City Trusteeslastevening against the improvement of Webster street north of Eagle avenue. The protestants claim that the proposed work will not benefit the property fronting on the street, but will be a detriment, by leaving the property below grade, and will only benefit the Electrtc Railroad Company. The protestants declare further that they would not object to the work being done if the whole street to Oakland woulg be put into the same condition as the work pro- posed. They also do not like the idea of exempting from the resolution of intention the frontage of the electric railway’s power- house. The Bacon Land and "Improve- ment Company and James E. Damon repre- sent a majority of the frontage. Death of a Pioneer Resident. Mrs. Ann Gunn died on Sunday at the home of her son, John Gunn Jr., on Grand street. Deceased was a pioneer resident of this city, having taken up her residence here in May, 1856. She wasa prominent member of the Methodist church, and performed many deeds of charity, some- times sacrificing her personal comfort for the wants of the worthy poor. She leaves two sons and two daughters, and a brother, ex-Justice Alexander Innes. She was 77 years of age, and a native of Scotland. Her funeral will take place this afternoon at 30 o’clock from her late residence on Grand street. Unearned Premiums. Attorney Goodwin has instituted nine suits in the Recorder’s court against fire insurance companies to obtain the amount of unearned premiums on policies which his clients asked for a cancellation in order to take advantage of cut rates. Plaintiffs allege that the companies refused to cancel the premiums, although the policies con- tained a stipulation to that effect. Exchange of Stations. F. J. Fackrell, who has had charge of the broadsgauge local station on Park street for four {e will exchange loca- tions to-day with William Bolt of Moun- tain View, Santa Clara County. The change is made on account of Mrs. Fack- rell’s health. The School Census. School Census Marshals Ballentine and Bleyman will finish the field work to-day and will begin the computation of their re- turns. There will not be much of an in- crease over the returns of 1894.
