On all sides is heard the busy hum of the saw and hammer, and the workmen’s voices, as story after story is raised. Erected first in the early pioneer days, the old building saw the outpouring gener- osity of the old Comstock find expression in revelry and mirth that frequently start- led the seals into wonder and astonish- ment. The onslaught of fierce gales, the explosion of a dynamite-laden schooner that almost caused its annihilation, and its ultimate destruction by fire are matters of local history, and when Mayor Sutro, like the deacon and the one-horse shay, s“yowed and yumed’’ that he would build for a hundred years and a day the plans for the present building were conceived. The designs of the new building are of the French chateau order, there being fiye stories in the main structure, surmounted by lofty svires and a tower, twenty-seven feet square, with four stories, and contain- ing a quick-acting elevator, connecting with eight floors in all, from basement to the rvatory room at the top. On each of the principal floors will be large corner bay-windows, commanding stars of the salty arena at his last battle. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Resolutions Deploring the Re- cent Discharge of Professor Davidson. The Matter Will Be Considered In Full Meeting of the Members Next Tuesday. The regular monthly meeting of the trus- tees of the Chamber of Commerce was held in the Merchants’ Exchange building |.yesterday afternoon, Second Vice-Pre: dent Schenck presiding, After listeni | to the routine monthly reports the follow- ing self-explanatory resolution was adopted: WHEREAS, The peremptory removal of Pro- fessor George Davidson from his position in the United States Coastand Geodet! urvey well, but was outclassed by the younger | before the Finance Committce of the | Board of Supervisors last night. ’ President Dobrmann of the Merchants’ Association made a personal plea, supple- | mental to a statement from the association, |in favor of a sufficient appropriation to i keep the streets clean. He turnished data | gained from actual observation and was plain in his statements that the association | was out, not for profit, but for clean streets. Messrs. McElroy and Stone pointed out the necessity for the appropriation asked for, $1.236,0C0, stating that the increase over 1t year was needed for the repairing of old schools and the building of new. Some of the old ones, they stated, were in the poorest kind of sanitary condition, | ramshackle and rickety, without paint in | some instances and without plaster in | many others. | » When they had finished F. A. Hyde, | the president of the last School Board, “| who said he had been requested to give | some figures on the school appropriation, | was called upon by Chairman Taylor to ! address the committee and the other members of the Board of Supervisors present. | Strangely enough Mr. Hyde's figures THE NEW CLIFF HOUSE AS IT WILL APPEAR WHEN COMPLETED.

Resolved, That the Governmentof the United States can iy no way so diseredit itself among the enlightened nations of the world as by dismissing from its service without prior notice or compensation its distingnished and feithful officers, and that the citizens of the Republic do not demand the narrow economy which gives no recognition to eminent and long-coutinued public services, which are re- cognized under other forms of Government by :}z ed honors and a liberal financial compensa- on. Resolved, That attested copies of these reso- lutions be jforwarded to the President ot the United States, to the Pacific Coastdelegation in Congress and to the honorzble Secretary of the Treasury. It was also decided that the matter of Professor Davidson’s removal should be brought up at the meeting of the Chamber on Tuesday next. e Furyirvre moved, stored, packed and shipped at low rates by Morton Special De- livery, 31 Geary street and 408 Taylor street* —————— THERE 18 an article on the market seldom equaled and never exceilled—Jesse Moore Whis- ky.

He said that it was not necessary He knew it, he continued, for the very rea- son that he knew that he, himself, had gone before the Supervisorial Finance Committee in the days gone by and asked with tears in his eyes for big appropria- tions, when he knew the schools really did not need them. Just before going out of office, however, he had seen the error of his way and had seen it ever since. The appropriations asked for were always too le‘xtlravagant, and this one was particu- rly so. M’:. Hyde then read a long list of figures, which he said vaed his contention.” But this was not all he did orsaid. He sug- gested some changes in the school system, and launched forth into an attack on sub- stitute schoolteachers. He inveighed against their being paid for the work they did, and_advocated the lopping off alto- getl’xer of the $40 salary of which they are now in receipt. He also attacked their competency. ““There is not one of the young ladies in the substitute class,’ he said, “that is fit to teach a class, They have got to have a year's experience before they are com- petent to take charge of a class. “In any other city than San Francisco they would be compelled toémy for their tuition, instead of being paid forit. They get $10 a month, $480 a yvear. ““Cut off their salaries,” he continued. “Instead of paying them, they should be very glad to go and get their education without any cost to the City.” Mr. Hyde then said the present system of leave of absence was wrong and should be remedied. g “Why were not these reformations made during” your administration?’ asked Su- pervisor Wagner. £ Y 3 “During my administration,” replied Mr. Hyde, “we ran the schools for $389,000 the last year.” “And now you want to take it out of the poor substitutes, do you?” he was asked again. = “Iam simply telling you,” he re{)hed. “what I think. You can do as you like.” The committee got down to work early and the proceedings were opened by the reading of the ioTIowing statement from the Merchants’ Association: Zo the Finance Committee, Board of Super- visors—GENTLEMEN: After this association sub- mitted the results of its experimental contract for street-sweeping to the Street Committee the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution to appropriate §150,000 for the present. fiscal year to make the improvements introduced & permanent feature of the system of street- cleaning in this City. While this Association has no doubt that this resolntion will be earried into effect, it is also aware of the many demands made upon you and the impossibility of appropriating all that has been asked, and thet, therefore, in scaling down demands that cannot or should not be allowed in full you may be tempted to also re- duce the amount mentioned above. For this reason we beg to submit to your committee the following: First—The experiments made by this associa- tion became possible through a general sub- scription of nearly $30,000 of our taxpayers, who earnestly desired clean streets. Second—The change was already so ap- parent before the last electign that each party, when nominating officers last year, adopted resolutions in its platform indorsing an appro- priation sufficiently large to secure anle(nc- torily clean streets. Third—The results since are so satisfactory to our entire community that we question if there is a single patriotic taxpayer who would notconsent to have the pledge fully carried out. Fourth—The experiments made have been carried out on the strictest economical basis, and at the lowest rate of wages that should be gnid vet the cost has averaged $451 78 per ay. Fifth—The system is complete so far as the removal of dirt from the streets is concerned, but in order to_perfect it entirely, systematic sprinklmF, at least throughout the business portion of the City, should be added. Sixth—While we are notsure that both sweep- ing and sprinkling can be fully accom- plished as outlined for the $150,000 per annum, wedo not ask for a special appropria- tion for sprinkling, but recommend that only the amount that can be spared without detri- ment to sweeping, be devoted to sprinkling, and thus obtain experience and data for next year to ascertain what amounts will be re- auired for both swecping and sprinkling there- after. Seventh—If the $150,000 asked for be appro- priated, the specifieations which this associa- tion has prepared at the request of the Street Committee, and which are now before that body, will' undoubtedly be accepted, and the restlts will be clean streetsand the removal of dustat the lowest possible cost to this City. . Dust and dirt have been the two greatest ob- jections o angers to either visit or remain in our City, and have been a menace to health, an inconvenience to residents and a drawback to our prosperity. Their removal, which is now mede easy and sure, would be cheap at any price, and the price named is cheap in comparison. Boston, for instance,spends£300,000 for street cleaning and $91,000 for street sprinkling, as shown by the muuicipal report of that Ve New York, according to information furni: by Colonel Waring, spends $602 50 per mile of P d streets per annum for cleaning only, while the amount asked here would be only $110 per mile per annum for sweeping and sprinkling our 135 miles of paved streets. Chi- cago is despairing of obtaining clean streets under its old system, although making large outlays that purpose. The Civic Federation of that city is therefore following the example of our association here by raising $30,000 to teach the same object lessons to its municipality which have here shown that the time for dust and dirt is past in progressive cities and that clean and whole- some streets can be obtained at moderate cost. To demonstrate this fact, the officers and members of this associasion have freely given their time and work; the business community has made the City a present of the money sub- scribed for that purpose, and the recommenda- tions now before you are made without per- sonal interest and solely for the best interest of the entire City. The responsibility tomake per- manent the new condition necessary for the rogress and welfare of this community is now n your hands. 1, after giving these suggestions your earnest consideration, you are still in. doubt concern- ing the amount of the appropriation, we ask (and think we have earned the right to ask that you fix a time when a committee an other taxpayers who may wish to do 8o may submit facts and figures to show the wis- dom of complying with the recommendations made. Respectiully submitted, MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION, F. W. DoRMANN, President, J. RICHARD FREUD, Sccretary. Chairman Taylor called upon President Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association to address the committee. Mr. Dohrmann stated that as the association had made its statement, just read, he had not expected to be called upon, but since the privifege of addressing the Supervisors had been ac- corded him, he would add just a few words to the statement. *‘We do not believe,” he continued, ‘“‘that with the exception of some paid offi- cer of the City, there is a single taxpayer who would not agree to an appropriation to have our system cnntinueg. ’II;-e only question is, what_will it cost to carry out the system now in use? The hgures are ready for inspection and veriiication. As stated before the Street Committee, it has cost abont $451 78 every day this associa- tion has wo d up to the 1st of June. ““The association has made no charge for its services. The only expenses are the actual labor performed and the carting that has been done and the three superin- tendents and bookkeepers necessary to oversee the force. We have run all the way from 183 sweepers, as at the present moment, to 240 or 250 during the winter season. “Now, if anybody has to do this work, in order to make the least kind of a profit, they have got to have more than we had and than we expended during our term. That is all there 1s of the whole question. Can anybody do the work cieaper than we have done? If they cannot, that must be the figure. Now we are ready to submit to any member of the Board of Supervisors or any oflicer of the City government our books and vouchers to prove the assertions I bave made, and I am ready to verify any and every statement made by the as- scciation. “I want to say, too, gentlemen, that it is not pleasant, when I make the state- ment that we have 183 men at work, that an official of this City should say that that statement was not true. That was done here not fifteen minutes ago by an officer of this City.” Mr. Dohrmann was referring to his en- counter with Mr. Ashworth, and exhibited some feelir.g as he repeated that Mr. Ash- worth’s assertion was untrue, He contin- uved by advocating increased sprinkling, and eave it as his opinion that an appro- priation of $150,000 would not be a cent too much, In answer to questions by Bupervisor King, he stated that the association rented the sweepers from the California Con- struction Company, of which Max Popper seemed to be a member. He said that Max Popper had received, he understood, $72.000 for his street-sweeping contract, and admitted that the Merchants’ Asso- ciation’s estimate was $150,000. “How does that come?'” asked Supervi- sor King. “I am very sorry to have to state again,” said Mr. Dohrmann, “‘that the Merchants’ Association does not want anything but clean streets. It merely assuresyou that it will take that much money now. If the taxpayers want clean streets it will take that much money for that purpose,” Andrew McElroy of the Board of Educa- tion took the floor in behalf of the appro- priation for the schools. The present sys- tem in San Francisco demanded more money. Besides, many of the school build- ings were in a sad state, and the sanitary system was very bpoor and absolutely needed remodeling. F. A. Hyde, ex-president of the school board, was then called upon by Chairman Tayler, and Eroceeded to read a lot of fig- ures, which he said would show that the appropriation asked for was too much. He saiu that his board, during the last vear of its tenure, had run the schools for ,000, while this present board was ask- ing for an increase over that of fid,lm. Then he went on to suggest the abolition of the substitute teacher’s salary and a change in the leave of absence maiter. The matter was taken under advisement, and the committee took an adjournment. DOHRMANN V3. ASHWORTH Serious Accusations Made in the Committee Rooms Last Night. BOTH MEN GREATLY EXCITED. Why the Street Superintendent Re- fused Work of the Merchants’ Association. Mr. Dohrmann’s fist under the nose of Street Superintendent Ashworth was one of the visions revealed to the elect that gathered in the committee-rooms of the Board of Supervisors last evening. The gathering was not especially for that purpose. Nevertheless the spectacle was enjoyed, perhaps more keenly because not dulled by anticipation. “You did not employ 183 men in clean- ing those streets”! said the Street Super- intendent. That was the practical be- ginning of it. : “I can prove it,” said Mr. Dohrmann, who is president of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation that has been cleaning the streets so successfully for the past six months. “You can't prove it. Your work is not done thoroughly; the streets are not clean.” It was these statements that brought Mr. Dohrmann’s chubby fist within a dangerous proximity of Mr, Ashworth’s face. “You know that is a falsehood”! said Mr. Dohrmann. He spoke av once with conviction and good lung power and all in the committee-rooms could hear. A crowd gathered. It looked serious for a moment. But Mr. Dohrmann is at heart a man of peace. Had the scene been laid elsewhere Mr. Ashworth might have acted differently. But he, too, was peaceful last evening. During the day he had rejected forty-two blocks of street-sweeping performed by the Merchants’ Association. It wasthis which brought about the quarrel last evening. “You did wrong,” began Mr. Dohrmann, mildly, when he first met the Street Super- intendent. “I did just right,’ said the other. “Several blocks were not cleaned at all. Others were not cleaned properly. I shall not accept the work.” “I can convince you that that statement is all wrong and untrue,” said Mr. Dohr- mann, and it was when Ashworth declined the proof and continued his bare assertions that\ Mr. Dohrmann lost his temper for a moment. Mr. Ashworth lost his also. 1§ You don’t employ as many men as you account for,”’ said the Street Superintend- ent, and this false statement troubled Mr. Dobrmann all evening, for he wanted to prove its falsity to everybody, including his accuser. and nobody cared to have the proof. Most of them believed it without the proof, and the others were satisfied in the knowledge that since the Merchants’ Association un- dertook to clean the streets, they have been cleaned as never before in recent years. “You are setting yourself up asa very big man in this City,” said Mr. Dohrmann, when his fist was near the Street Superin- tendent’s nose; ‘“but you can throw out all the work you choose. There is higher au- thority in this City than you. We have done our work conscientiously, and will not be beaten out of the pay by any of your skuldndgery.” Of course, the last remark was not par- liamentary, but Mr. Ashworth seemed to know whet it meant. He raised both his bands threateningly and—dropped them again. But his eyes rolled fiercely and his mouth said: “You wi!l get no money for that work. I won't accept it.” “We will get money for that work,” said Mr. Dohrmann, the fist being still in evi- dence, “and you can do your worst.”’ “Well, we'll see.” “We will see. You are trying to throw discredit on our work so as to get the ap- propriation for sireet sweeping into your department. That's what's the matter with you, sir. And everybody knows it.” “They know what’s false then,” retorted the Street Superintendent, and again his hands went up threateningly. “You want to get the plum for yourself and yourfriends,” said Mr. Dohrmann, who was roused now to the point of speaking quite plainly. *“You want to have the spending of that money. You —” “I wouldn’t have i roared the Street Superintendent, with less dighity than that of Ceesar when he putaway the crown, but with even more emphasis. “Oh, yes; you wouid have it. That's what you're working for now. And it will be a sorry day for the City when you get it—if you ever do.”” “Iwouldn’t be bothered with the work in my department. I wouldn’t take it for a gft. Butif 1 had it T would do the work better than the Merchants’ Association has done it, ana with less money.”” “Everybody knows how you would do it. But you’ll never get the chance to do it if the taxpayers of the City have their wishes followed in the matter.” “I wouldn’t do it; but I could save then: money over your figures.” “The money wouid be squandered in the Street Department.” “You don’t know anything about the Street Department.” “You don’t know anything about clean- ing streets.” It is uncertain just who had the last word, but sadly enough, that last word was not worthy of living in history. The fight had not an heroic ending. Tt dwindled away into back talk that was not even interesting to those who heard it. So the members went out to the Supervisors’ chambers and presently the Finance Com- mittee was in session. Itisa fact that the Street Department has not looked with official favor upon the efforts of the Merchants’ Association to keep the streets clean, and it is true that, rightly or wrongly, the Street Superin- tendent has been of late making the con- ditions exceedingly difficult for the Mer- chants’ Association. *‘We do not want to continue sweeping the streets,” said Mr. Dohrman later in the evening. “Weare through with the matter. We have demonstrated that streets can be kept reasonably clean. Now we want to see a sufficient appropriation made, and then we are interested in seeing some honest contractor get the work. Of course a contractor must get more money than the Merchants’ Association received, for the contractor will want a profit, whereas all our efforts were donated to the City. “But above all we are interested in see- ing that the street-sweeping work does not goto the Street Department, where in theory perhaps it belongs, since it is un- doubtedly a public function. But practi- cal politics in the Street Department are at such a pass now that it would be unwise to place more patronage and power in that department. The Merchants' Association now is interested only in seeing the work honestly and thoronghly performed.” *As You Like It§"’ Al Fresco. Manager Friedlander of the Columbia Thea~ ter has, for a long time past, been contemplat- ing a great open-air performance of “As You Like It,” and it will not be long before the amusement lovers ot this city will have an opportunity of witnessing what may be prop- erly called an *‘al fresco performance.” This open-air performance will form another link in the chain connecting the theatrical and social world and many of San Francisco’s best Ppeople will be interested in this event.
