10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1896. THE DOLLAR LIMIT LEFT BEHIND, The Next Tax Levy Now Bids Fair to Exceed $1 05. MISSION HIGH SCHOOL. A New Institution of Learning Provided For Yester- day. MORE MONEY FOR THE PARK. As the Schedule Now Stands the Rate Will Be Raised Six and a Half Cents. The Board of Supervisors made a suffi- cient number of alterations in the report of the Finance Committee on municipal appropriations yesterday to raise the tax levy from §$105, as recommended by the committee, to $1 1114, and the indications are that the end is not yet, for there are still many sections and departments to be heard from. The main item that occasions the raise is the appropriation of $200,000 to build a high school in the Mission. The raising of the estimates began as soon as the report of the Finance Committee was read. Supervisor Benjamin, who is a member of the committee, asked that the estimate for Golden Gate Park be raised from $225,- 000 to $250,000. He said that the park was the pride and boast of San Francisco and that the money was needed. Supervisor Dimond wanted the matter of the appropriations put over until the date on which the levy was actually to be fixed Supervisor Wagner supported him, say- ing that he was not ready to vote on the levy yet, as he intended to offer a resolu- tion apportioning $150,000 for the repaving of Market street from the ferries to Six- teenth street. When a vote was taken on the question of raising the park appro- priation the measure was opposed by Hob) Dunker, Dimond, Taylor and Hirsch, but carried by a vote of 7 in favor of it. In explaining his vote in the negative Supervisor Taylor stated that he believed the money appropriated last yesr, $300,- 000, had been expended in an extravagant manner, and that while he believed in im- proving and beautifying the park he thought it was time tb put a stop to the less expenditure of the people’s money. “Begin by ignoring the figures of the ance Committee that were based on eful investigation and consultation,” he said, *‘and the result will be that there will be raises all along. the line, and in- stead of the low levy we aimed at we will have one that will greatly displease the people whose servants we are.” The vote had hardly been announced when Supervisor Wagner arose and moved that an appropriation of $150,000 be in- cluded in the report for the paving of Mar- ket street. He stated that the appropriation of that amount would only mean an increase of cents in the tax rate and that the peo- ple of San Francisco would willingly pay that for so great an improvement. His only supporters were Benjamin and King. Then Mr. Hobbs, to show that the in- terests of his constituents were not neg- lected, moved that $200,000 for a new high school building in the Mission be provided for in the levy. He was apparently somewhat surprised when six of his collesgues—King, Scully, Hirsch, Benjamin, Morgenstern and Wag- ner—supported him and carried the mo- tion. The increase for the Health Department that was asked created a little storm, dur- ing which the depariment “was pretty roughly handled by Supervisor Taylor. Supervisor Spreckels championed the of the department, stating that he believed that the department was one of the most important in the City government and that he believed it should have $10,000 more than the com- mittee had allowed for it, or $35,000 in all. Supervisor Taylor showed that the de- partment had already been allowed $33,000 instead of 000, as Supervisor Spreckels seemed to think, and that the department had been given $7000- more than last year. He picked the Health Department com- munication to the board to pieces, par- ticularly the contention that additional inspectors were needed to keep a check on those already employed. He said that the people might just as well elect twelve new Supervisors to keep a watch on those al- ready in office. -He ridiculed the Board of Health and said he did not believe they had read the communication before send- ing it. The matter was finally compromised by allowing the department $2000 more than the estimate furnished by the Finance Committee, or a total of $9000 more than last year. Supervisor King wanted the department allowed an additional $10,000 for four food- inepection stations, but there was no sec- ond to his motion. This closed the raises for the day, but Supervisor Benjamin moved to pass & reso- lation previously submitted pledging the board to carry out the policy outlined by Finance Committee in its report, so that there is still time for more increases. The total increase was $227,000, or 64 cents on the $100, The report of the Finance Committee was in part as follows: Your committee begs leave to submit for the careful and unprejudiced consideration of our citizens that while many improvements have been urged, and which under different circum- stances ought to have been provided for, it must be borne in mind that the general good must predominate, and it appears to your committee that.an excessive tax levy ina pe- riod of depression asisat present being ex- perienced by our merchants, business men and property-owners, would be a great hardship bearing oppressively on all our citizens. These reascns, important as they are, could not be overlooked, and led your committee to recommend as light a tax rate as could consistently be made in view of the fact that our Supreme Court has determined it to be the duty ot the levylng power to provide sufficient funds, exercising reasonable and proper discretion for the expenditures of the government. In the performance of this duty it is to be regretied that many of the appropriations made to departments are not controlled, kept within the appropriations made, and thus creating an indebtedness which cannot always be foreseen, which is seemingly bound to occur until courts can determine that be- yond the appropriation meade therefor no de- partment can expend a greater amount than proviaed for it. This subject and the evils of the system now prevailing and allowed have been reported on, time and time again, and no remedy has yet been evolved tocheck and prevent such out- lays. The resolutions to be introduced will pre- sent the result of your committee’s labor, showing the purposes snd the several appro- vriations made therefor, and which in the ex- ercise of economy, of the power vested in the board to control the same,should have re- sulted in many reductions being made. As it is, the power has been exercised so as to show that & discretion has been used to provide suf- fieient and ressonable appropriations to meet all expenditures. As many of our departments and citizens have impressed the committee with their views on many public requirements, it is but just to state that but for the conditions existing these requirements would have been provided for. Among many none appealed to your committee more strongly than the ap- propriation asked for & high school builaing at the Mission, but as the appropriation for the School Department was $1,000,000 your committee could not see its way clear to add $200,000 to the levy this year for that purpose, although it is conceded a high school should be located in that sectiom of our City. Your committee was not unanimous in the matter, as Supervisor Hobbs was nrgent as to the ne- cessity of providing his constituents with their demand for higher educational facilities. The importance of carrying out the improve- ments and preserving those already made in Golden Gate Park appealed to your committee, and after due consideration the sum of 5,000 was allowed. Supervisor Benjamin, while dissenting to the amount, was willing to The attention cf your committee was called to the action of the Grand Jury in determining that the sum of $84,000 was a sufficient appro- priation for the conduct of the County Clerk’s department in the payment of salaries, and with that view your committee coincides and have fixed the appropriation at that amount. The appointment of Walter 8. Hinkle as Assistant Distriet Attorney was ex- tended to October 1, 1896. A resolution was adopted instructing the City and County Attorney to appear on behalf of the City and County at the hearing of the petition of P. L. Weaver, ex-superintendent of the Almshouse. against the Board of Supervisors. A resolution was adopted allowing Com- pany L, First Regiment Infantry National Guard, to give a boxing and wrestling ex- hibition at its armory, corner of Gough and Page streets, during September. The company is expected to pay the license of $100, but it is exempted from the $135 con- tribution to the Robinson bequest fund that is demanded of the boxing clubs. The Superintendent of Streets was in- structed to issue an assessment for the cost of laying plank sidewalks three feet wide on California street, between First and Thirteenth avenues, and on Lake street, between Fourth and Thirteenth avenues. The Hicks-Judd Company sert in a bill for $2067 10 for printing fifty copies of the transcript on appeal in the Durrant case, and the amount was ordered paid by a special resolution. The board then adjourned until Mon- day, September 21, the time for the an- nual vacation having arrived. e gt STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Detailed Review of the Clty Work Now Before the Board.
