THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1896. 9 WENZELL WILL ANALYZE WINE, The Professor’s Annual Re- port to the Board of Health. SOME TIMELY HINTS. Eastern Grape Products Have Once More Fallen Under Suspicion. FRUIT THAT IS NOT FRUIT. Jellies and Jams Manufactured Out of Materials That Hive Begun to Decay. Professor William T. Wenzell, the ana- lytical chemist of the Board of Health, made a startling suggestion to the board in his annual report that was handed in at the Health Office yesterday. He advocates no less a measure than the ecientific analysis of all wines and liquors that are sold in the San Francisco market, on the ground that the large amount of wine consumed by the public warrants an investigation as to its purity. In view of the known fact that the | wines imported from foreign countries are very often adulterated and with sub- stances deleterious to health, the field of research will prove interesting and the wine-drinking public will probably be educated regarding the constituents of the liquid it swallows as it never was before. Professor Wenzell, who occupies a high position among local chemists, being at- tached in the capacity of instructor in chemistry to the California College of Pharmacy and a professor of chemistry and toxicology to the Cooper Medical Col- lege, believes that the systematic and scientific analysis of wines, and also of all liquors, 1s practicable, and that the sale of wortbless imitations and adulterated goods can be as easily regulated as that of milk or impure food. California wine manufacturers have long advocated this measure as a safeguard against the foreign goods they are called upon to compete with, and the matter will be taken up by the board assoon as circumstanges permit. Other partions of the professor’s report interesting from the fact that the re- s of some of his most recent analyses lastern fruit products are given, throw- | ing more light on the manner in which | the public is sometimes humbuged than has yet been given. “I have examined,” says Professor Wenzell, “samples of stuff sold in this market and supposed to be manufactured of lemon and pineapple, and find that, as a matter of fact, it contains not the slight- est particles of the fruits mentioned and is, moreover, full of materials that are not calculated tobe beneficial to health, “Other so-called jellies and jams were plainly manufactured from fruit that had reached an advanced stage of decay and the decomposition has made the product detrimental to health.” The chemist mentions the numerous analyses of water made during the year and suggests that with more complete facilities for carrying on his investigations far better results could be obtained. Professor Wenzell's suggestion regard- ing wine analysis will probably be taken up at the meeting of the board to-day. BRAVERY’S REWARD. Gus Fernandez Is Awarded a Medal by the Children’s Society for Sav- ing Two Lives. The Society for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Children, at its monthly meeting held yesterday afternoon, appointed Mrs. Mary Church special agent of the society at Fresno. The treasurer reported cash on hand to the amount of $543996, of which $48 36 was 1n his custody, $1538 40 on deposit in the Security Savings Bank and $3853 20 in the San Francisco Savings Union. I. T. Milliken and B. P, Flint were appointed to represent the society at the forthcoming new charter convention. The handsome new medal of the society was awarded to Gus Fernandez, a deck- band on the river steamer San Joaquia, who saved Mrs. Annie Mitchell and her little son from drowning some weeks ago. This is the first award of the newly coined medal. The announcement of its presen- tation to Fulton Shepard, the young man who saved an Alameda boy named fi\'i!]ie | Durant irom death by submersion, was declared premature, the secretary being ordered to investigate the case and report at the next meeting, when the medal will be awarded to Shepard if it be decided that he is entitled to1t. Directors Milliken, Flint and Palache were appointed to prepare resolntions of respect to the memory of the late General McComb, former secretary of the society. —————— MISSION PARLOR. It Has Made Arrangements to Celebrate in Boyal Fashion in Stockton. At a2 meeting of the Ninth of September Committee of Mission Parlor No. 38, N.S8. G. W., nearly all detils were ar- ranged for the coming celebration at Stockton, the sub-committees formed hav- ing completed their labors, and the parlor is now prepared for the coming celebra- tion. Mission Parlor will take with them a band of twenty-five pieces. They have chartered tbe T. C. Walker, of the Califor- nia Navigation and Improvement Com- pany. The steamer will leave the City for Stockton, from Washington-street wharf, on the night of the Stb, after the general parave in the City, arriving in Stockton very early on the morning of the 9th. Will remain in Stockton all of the 9th, and will leave for the City of S8an Fran- cisco about 1 o’clock on the morning of the 10th, arriving in 8an Francisco in plenty of time for work. 3 The parior having chartered the entire steamer, will carry some 300 of their mem- bers, their wives and friends, who will be accommodated with berths, etc. The parlor has arranged to have 8 min- strel show on board, as well as a very good quartet, and there is no doubt that they will have a jolly good time. The parlor has adopted a very neat uni- form for the members to parade in, and has also some very unique features, wh:c_h will be displayed during the parade in Stockton. Following are the sub-committees: Press—Aiken, Bert, McUord; music Groth, Hartman, Hansen; printing—Hart- man, Ellison, 0’Rouke; tfansportatio Aiken, Bert, Jacobs; decoration—Shade, Hansen, Slaven, McCord, Porcher; uni- form—Snade, Hansen, Carl.

The Auditor and Assessor Have Decided Not to Go to Sacramento. COLONEL TAYLOR'S LETTER. Pertinent Reasons Why the Total Valu- ation of This City’s Property Shou'd Not Be Raised. The request of the business men and taxpayers of San Francisco to the State Board of Equalization for an extension of time in the matter oi the assessment for this City met with a ready response yes- terday, the board telephoning to the Mer- chants’ Association that September 2, in- stead of to-day, had been tixed as the time for hearing the matter. i Auditor Broderick and Assessor Siebe have reconsidered their intention of going to Bacramento to appear for the City, inas- much as Chairman Taylor of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors has decided to be present at the meet- ing of the State Equalizers. Both officials believe tnat the fact that the total valuation of City property has been increased nearly $30,000,000, or nearly 10 per cent, this year will vrevent the City from being raised, and that the letter sent by Colonel Taylor will be sufficient argu- ment to protect the City’s interests. The letter was as follows: CLERK’S OFFICE BOARD OF smvllvmou“ EAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18, 1896. Tq the Homorable State Board of Equalization, Sacramento, Cal.—GENTLEMEN: 1 have the honor 10 acknowiedge the receipt of your notice that it is the infention of your honor- able board to increase the assessment of all taxable property in this City and County to make it conform 1o its true value,and that objoctions will be heard to said proposed in- crease on Wednesday, August 19, 1896, It does appear that a wrong impression must exist in the minds of the members of your honorable board in reference to the sssess- ment of property in this City and County, for the facts are, that property has n assessed far in excess of its true vaiue, and to such an extent that in all fairness a reduction on the aggregate amount of the assessment should be considered in lieu of & proposed increase. Your attention is respectiully called to the total as-essed value of properiy in the past year, 1895-96, which was $327 845,342, while this year, 1806-97, after correction of assess- ments on verification by the Auditor, the ag- gregate assessed valuation is §357,586,126, or an increase of $29,740,784 over the last year, and this increase over last year is on personal grn g_x,'(r’y $19,437,814 and on real estate $10,- Tne question presents itself as to what is the canse, especially when it is well known thag during the last three or four years business has been greatly depressed, the commercial and e J0ANS on watches, Jewelry, siiverware, at Uncle Harrls', 16 Grans avenne. | manufscturing iuterests have steadily suffered in & loss of trade and real estate has experi- enced such a decline that the values of prop- erty in_this City and County, except on one street, Market street, have steadily fallen, un- til, at’ the present time, except in the most favored Jocalities, but 60 per cent of the values of property in 1893 or 1894 conld be obtained if a purchaser can be found. This certainly is no news_to the members of your honorabie board. Business. houses have been reducing their stock of goods &0 ss to conform to the loss of trade, and many mercantile firms and manufacturers continue in business, although | expenses are not realized, In hope of a revival | of trade and commerce. | . This condition 1t 1s hard to acknowledge, but facts are stubbora and cannct be gainsaid. and but for the seeming proposed injustice of still further increasing the burdens are these facts brought 10 your attention. The City and County of San Francisco shares | 8 natural advancement is made, this City and County cannot advance its commercial or manutacturing interests, for like a barometer indicating the weather, San Francisco indi- cates either the increese or decadence of the prosperity of the State. eation on behalf of himself and the owners of property for a reduction of 30 per cent on the assessed valuation of property south of Golden result of many applications from the owners of property for & reduction of at least 50 per cent of the assessed value, and from the fact that the Assessor based his opinion through error on the value of this property by deeds placed on record ths year from sales made years ago on the instaliment plan, when buy- | ers were misled by a so-called real estate boom | to pay fancy prices. The investigation clearly | disclosed that this property was assessed not less than 50 per cent ov d above its actual cash value, while property in the sand dunes 'was assessed at not less than 60 per cent over and above 11s actual cash value. This 1s equally true in degree of assessments in other portions of this City and County. The decadence in values has not been considered, but/sales of years ago have been takenas a basis of valuation wholly uncailed for and far | in excess of actual values. The reductions de by the Board of Super- visors, including 83,700 on franchises, ag- gregated $2,972,9%6, while the reductions on the application of the Assessor and from clerical errors aggregated $1,006,445, or & to- tal of $3,979,431. It may be pertinent to your inquiry in this matter to state that, with the single exception of the reduction made on franchises, the Assessor recommended after inyestigation all the other reductions made. n presenting the case of S8an Francisco your attention is called to the arguments made be- fore your honorable board 1ast year ascontain- ing the facts upon which this City and County looks for relief to your honorabie board and to the well-known decadence in values of realty | | | | { and 1o the contraction of business, which for the last few years has been disastrousin its effects on our merchants, manufacturers and business men. In conclusion, in & matter of such impor- tance to our taxpayers, as well as in justice to the taxpayers of this State, your honorable board is resg‘ec!fully requested to consider the case of 8an Francisco wichout prejudice, for it is certainly within your knowledge that the steady decline of the value of realty in this City and County should be the means of con- sidering, in place of an increase, what reduc- t:on should be made in the aggregate valua- tion. As many of the members of the Board of Supervisors are absent from the City, having adjourned over for that purpose, ana as no committee will up¥eur pefore your honorable board, the undersigned presents this state- ment as a simple plea for justice at your hands. . . L TAYLOR, Chairman of the Board of Equalization of the City and County of San Franeisco. Between now and the time San Francis- co's assessment is taken up the Mer- chants’ Association will make a further showing to the State board why the as- sessment should not be raised. ABOUT A BOTTLE OF WINE. James Marshall, Saloon-Eeeper, and Felix Weiner Arrested. James Marshall, proprietor of the Brighton saloon, on Eddy street, and Felix Weiner, a penman, were fighting on Market street and Grant avenue yesterday afternoon, when they were arrested by Bergeant Bidwill, who was on his way to the City Prison at the time. They were both charged with battery. The trouble arose over a bottle of wine, which Marshall alleges Weiner bought in his saloon a few nights aco and did not pax for. Weiner was walking with a lady round the corner yenerd-{‘ afternoon when Marshall met them. Marshall im- mediately attacked Weiner, and they were punching each other when the sergeant appeared. | 1n_the general progress of the State, and until | The action of the Assessor in_making appli- | Gate Park and west of First avenue, was the | CONTRACTS FOR | -~ MUNICIPAL LIGHT, Awards Were Made for a| Period of Two Years. WILL EXPIRE IN 1898. How the Three United Com- panies Divided City Patronage. I PRETENSE OF COMPETITION. The Contracts Approved by Mayor Sutro and Acting Mayor Tayler. As some doubt was expressed ata re- cent meeting of the Grand Jury as to the correctness of the statement that the Su- pervisors had entered into a two years’ contract for lighting the City reference was yesterday made to the official resolu- tions of award. Bids were invited for lighting public buildings, engine-houses, police stations, | public streets and outlying districts. The contracts were awarded to the Pacific Gas Improvement Company, the Edison Light and Power Company and the San Fran- cisco Gaslight Company. All of the con- tracts cover a period of two years. The show of competition must have been a mere pretense, which did not deceive any- body. Perhaps no deception was in- tended. All the companies supplying Jight bad pnc;iofillge consolidated pooled their interests before the oompsaf tion was invited. The ugly feature of the business was | the awarding of contracts' for two years without competition.. It must have been known to the Supervisors and to Mayor Sutro and acting Mayor Taylor that im- fmvemuntl ‘were being constantly made n electrical appliances, and that a new company was preparing to putina plant capable of oftering bona-fide comuvetition. The sood things of the contract were | parceled out to three companies in name, but one company in fact. For_lighting certain Public buildings from May 1, 1896, to April 30, 1898, a con- tract was let to the San Francisco Gashght Company. It wasapproved by C. L. Tay- lar, acting Mayor and ex-officio President of the Board of Supervisors. The price is $1 60 per 1000 cubic feet. This contract calls for the lighting of eighteen engine- houses, seven police stations, three truck companies and three chemical-engine liouses, and also the fire-alarm s.ation at Brenham place. The contract with the Pacific Gas Im- rovement Company is two years, from ay 1, 1896, to April 80, 1898. It was also aj ved by C. L. Taylor, acting Mayor. :61)111:9 is°$1 60 per 1000 cubic feet. The ntract calls for the lighting of twenty engine-houses, four chemical companies, four truck companies, thie Corporation Yard and Central police station, New City Hall, Connty Jail and Coroner’s office. - The Edison Light and Power Company’s |0, F. L. SWEANY contract is two years, from August 1, 1896, to Augustl, 1898, It was approved Au- gust 3 by Mayor Sutro. This company has the contract for lighting with electricity the outlying aistricts, Each tight per night is 55 cents. The Edison company also gets a share of the public-building {llumination at this rate: For incandescent electric light per 1000 watt hours 11 cents. The company gets the New City Hall, an engine-house, 412 Bush street, and a truck company, 22 O'¥arrell street. Tue San Francisco Gaslight Company ets the big plum. The econtract provides or lighting all of the public streets of the City for two years from August 1, 1896. The price is 12 cents for each lamp per night. This contract was approved by Mayor Sutro on August 3. ‘What strikes the Grand Jury as remark- able is the action of the Supervisors in en- tering into a contract for two years. It is figured that the present Supervisors will retire from office next January, yet they have bound the City in contracts extend- ing nineteen months beyond their term of office. e e In England the ivy is considered an em- blem of fidelity.
