"THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1896. BELVEDERE HAS ’ FIGHT ON HAND Propesition to Incorporate .~ Develops. Serious Op- - position. [ Dlymipic - Boatmen . Protest, as | - Their: Clubhouse Would Be Taxad. - Tlie_ Cami»aign Extends to This City and ‘Interésts Otwners of Arks and Bosts. A fierce epposition has developed in Belvedere against the effort to incorporate the picturesque seaside suburb and the fight has changed “its situation to a large extent. It.hascome to San Franciscéand here many interested parties are making Bn active canvass to defeat the move- ment. The-reason for this change 6f base is | due to the fact that the incorpgration of Belvedere would directly affect the owners of yachts, barges, boathousss and all kinds of craft now lving in Belvedere cove, iich comes within the boundary line of > town to be incorporated. Most of the It moored in the cove belong to people who live in San Francisco and leave their boats at Belvedere a5 a matter of conveni- ence. Up tothe presenttime they havenot been compelled to pay taxes on théir house- boats or yachts and it is the fear of being taxed that makes them protest. They are fully alive to, the fact that if Belvedere were incorporated s new town tax would be imposed upon their boats. in which 1896 COLORED * -DRESS GOODS! 150 pieces 38 INCH ALL-WOOL (NAVY STORM SERGE, 3 vrice 50c, on special sale at 35¢ a yard.

Probably one of *the most powerful factors in "the campagign is the Olympic b Club bodting annex, which entered into the fight a few days ago and began active work yesterday. The Olympic boatmen aré decidedly opposed to the incorpora: tion, and® wil “fight to the end.

One of them said yesterday that Belve- dere has not more than 500 residents who live there all year, while a population of at least 500 is required by law as the first " reason for incorporating. Theothers are summer boarders,” said he: “*Thisis simply a plan to unload on us, as By it we would be compelled to take take care of the roads to Tiburon bridge, several miles of them through the island; | and aiso to” pay for a town clerk, town constable and town attorney. Our taxes would be trebled. Besides,. everyihing moored in Belvedere cove would be taxed. ana on that account there is a probability thatthe arks and yachts may find another mooring ground.”” TLe explanation given by those in favor of the movement is that Tiburon, might. able act incorporate, and then under the daw Bel- | vedere would be prevented from taking the same action because no town can in- corporate in California within three miles of an incorporated township. This is pooh-poohed by the opposition, which asserts that Tiburon is owned by the San Francisco and North Pacrfic Railway, and for that reason there need be no fear from that quarter. The railway company, it is contended, would not incorporate the town because thatwould increase expenses and taxation. IN THE FUTURE. ° Many Receptions, Dances and En- tertainments Are Announced.

Poor Henry Abbey was notin his accus- tomed place and thousands missed him. The old adage, “'Tis an ill wind—"" etc., etc., proves conclusively that our fore- fathers knew the true philosophy of things. New York loses the magnetic voice of Nordica, while Californians will gain the pleasyre and distinction of hav- ing her in their midst for a series of con- certs some time during the holidays. At the Holland are located a number of Californians. - Among the arrivals who will remain until the holidays are W. L. Gerstle and his bride. They looked su- premely happy on Wednesday afternoon, as they drove through the park. Mr. and Mrs. Gerstle have many friends in New York, and their visit cannot fail to be a very pleasant one.

CAUGHT A KITTEN [N & DRAIN PIPE Novel Angling bv McCur- rie at the Fair- mount. Decidedly Was a Howling Suceess. One Calico Cat and One Other Were Saved From a Lam-ntable and Uatimely Ead. Matthew McCurrie was yesterday a hero and a deliverer from sufferinz of beasts and mankind. Strong men wrung his stout right hand until he cried “hold, enongh.” Women looked at him grate- Small girls approved him heartily. Oniy bad and mischievous boys looked at him askance and said to each other, *“He’s no good.” : McCurrie is an oflicer of the Society for the Preveution of Cruelty to Animals. Yesterday the telephone bril in the socie- ty’s office rang violently and kept it up for quite a time. . “Hello!” answered McCurrie. Ting-a-ling-a-ling. . “Hello!” said McCurrie, louder, “hello, ‘oh, helio!” “Come out,”” said a thin female voice, “‘come out and get the kittens out of the drainpipe. There are eleven, and perhaps more, in there.” McCurrie pulled out a long sack, which wou!d bold eleven kittens, young and old, simultaneously, and started out (o the ad- dress which had been given. This was at the Fairmount Hotel. He found things in bad shape. From a long pipe, extending from the roof to the ground, proceeded a series of agonized cries. *Meoow !"” “Miew!” “Ab,’ said McCurrie, tough.” There were several stories current to explain how the kittens gotintothe drain- pipe.
