Merchants Want an Honest System of Awarding the County Contracts. One Reason Why the State Needs a N.w Constitution and Oakland a New Charter. OARLAND OrrIcE SAN FrANcIsco CALy, 908 Broadway, April 4. It is not likely that there will be any more depositions taken in the Pardee will contest. It now appears that both sides repent the fact that s0o much has been given to the public. When the contest was first filed there was an informal verbal agreement entered into between all parties concerned that sion, and tne same procedure wili have t2 be gone through before any change can take place in the rules governing the school department. This being the case, it is but one more argument in favor of a charter that will be infinitely more intelli- gent and practicable than the present garbled affair, and, incidentally, in view of the lengtby procedure necessary to an amendament, it is also an ar ument in favor of a new constitution for the State, which shall give to cities a less cumbrous method of zoverning themselves than they at present enjoy. Because Oakland would like to amend ber charter, or, indeed, to have an en- tirely new one, is surely no resson why the maiter should have to be passed upon by the Legisiature of the entire State. . S1UART W, BooTH. Maloon for Mitchell. OAKLAND, CAL., April 4. —Yesterday Mayor Thomas il notice of the ap- pointment of Henry Maloon as License Inspector to succeed L. A, Mitchell, who was selected by the Merchants’ Exchange and recommended to the ex-Mayor, Mr. Maloon was the predecessor of Mitchell, and is thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office, which, in view of the many license ordinances now enforced, is one of considerable responsibility. The Deadly Folding-Bed. ALAMEDA, CAL., Aprit 4.—Dr. Alfred Sander had a narrow escape the other evening from serious injury, as the result of aioding-bed collapsing on . He had just gone to bed when the thing folded up like a jackknife, clasping him in itsembrace and rendering him power- less to help himself Fortuuately he was not prevented from using his voice, which he did to such purpose that his servant war aroused and came to his assistance, rescuing him from his uncom!ortable pre- dicament. THADDEUS FITCH’S Plan to Consolidate the Broad and Narrow Gauge Ferry Systems and Usz But One Bridge. none of the unpleasant details should be given out by either side. This was con- sidered to be hut dignified treatment of the memory of the deceased Dr. Pardee. The doctor was a prominent Mason and a man who stood well socially, politically and professionally. He figured promi- nently in official lite in this city and was one of the most valuable Mayors Oakland ever had. During the latter years of his life occa- sional whispers that all was not as serene s It migut be in the Pardee household were beard, but no attention was paid to them, and after his death his many friends and his relatives were anxious that none of the carefullv concealed skele- tons should be unmasked and brought into the light of public criticism and pos- sibly derision, This agreement was faithfully kept for s few weeks, when everyoody concerned was surprised 10 see & lengthy scction of Mrs. Pardee’s deposition published. It was very evident that the article had not been inspired by Mrs. Pardee, the widow, and she violently obj cted to bein - placed in what she called a false position before the public. Her attorpeys also expressed dissatisfacticn that the unwritten trute bad been broken, and from that time on for several days the unpleasant inside his- tory of the dcctor's family has been mer- cilessly lald bare. To-day it was stated by one of those in- terested in the contest that it is not likely that any more depositions will be desired as such proceedings cannot now be kept from the public on sccount of the bitter- ive sides to tne and poblic opinion being equally divided as to the merits and demerits of allsparties con- cerned, there will probably be no more evidence taken untit the case shall come to trial. The name of Pardee has always been respected in this coucty, and the hosts of acquaintances of the iate Wwhole-souled doctor cannot sufficiently express their regret that a compromise was not effected *before now. ‘When the time comes for awarding the contract for supplies to the county infirm- ary the mercnants of Oakland want to be heard on the manner in which contracts are let. Last year the method adopted was that known as the ‘‘unit system.” By this system 1t is possible for the county to pay (wenty per cent more for the goods that are bought than their market price, and yet be awarding tie contract to the lowest bidder, The system adopted con- sists in adding together all the prices of all the articles for which bids are asked and of dividing the total amount by the number of kinds of goods bid upon, This same principle is adopted in regard to all the tionery supplies and other materials furnished by the Board of Super- visors in the various county institutions. When bids were awarded nearly a year ago Mr. Fisn, then president of the Mer- chants' Exchange, showed conclusively that the system at present in use is the most ridiculous and unbusinesslike that could possibly be conceived, He showed how, by putting an_sbsurdly low price on articles of which little are used and by pufting a price larger than that of the market upon articles of *which a great quantity is used, a bidder would be accorded a unit considerably lower than the merchant who bids fair prices in both cases, and whose bid, if accepted, would be several bundred dollars less than that which produces the lowest unit. A very little figuring will show this. The market value of a barrel of fish is $15. About two barrels a year are used. Thousands of sacks of potatoes are u. upon which a market value of $1 50 may be placed. A contractor, by bidding $1.on fish and $1 75 on potatoes, would Le ac- corded a unit of $1 3714, whereas the mer- chant who bids §15 for fish and $1 50 for tatoes would have a unitof $825. A ittle figuring wiil show that if two barrels of fish and 1000 sacks of potatoes are used at the lnflrmnr{ in a year the man with a unit of §8 25 will save to the county $222 on these two items alone, These facts were amply demonstrated to the Board of Bupervisors by the Mer. chants’ Exchange, and if the Supervisors can evolve an excuse for not adopting the recommendation of the Grand Jury they will be much more clever than they are at present credited with being. In two months' time the annual elec- tion for school teachers for the Oukland department will take place. The custom prevails at present of electing teachers every June to serve for one year only, No matter how competent or industrions they may be, no teacher hasthe assurance that he or ske will be employed longer than a year. Thi: em of election isin accordance with the present charter and must prevail until the charterisamended. Two years ago the charter was very unwisely amended in the matter of the Board of Public Workz. It took a special election and a special act of the Legisia- ture to amend the charter on that occa- PLAN TO AVOID ONE DRAWBRIDGE An Alameda Capitalist Has an Idea That Is Prac- tical. Three Boats Could Give Better Service Than Is Now Given by Four. By Its Terms There Wou'd Be No Use for the Condemned Alice- Street Bridge. OAxrAND Orrice Sax Fraxcisco CALL,% 908 Broadway, April 4. A perfeotly feasible plan of dispensing with one drawbridge, and one in close touch with President Huntington's syste- matic policy of rallway management, is submitted by Thaddeus €, Fiica of this City. He proposes to run the broad and narrow gauge boats from the foot of Mar- ket street to their resp ctive piers on this side of the bay, as at present, with the short additional run between the piers to complete the triangle—one boat to run from Market street to Oaklana nvier, thence to the Alameda mole and back to San Francisco, the other boatto rum on the opposite course, viz.: from Market street. to the Alameda mole, thence to the Oakland pier and back to the starting point, passing one another a long dis- tance apart and thereby lessening the risk of collision in fogzy weather. By this plan itis believed that three boats could perform the service now re- quired of four. The very light expense of laying a third rail from Pacific avenue station on the nerrow-gauge roadbel to the end of tne mole would connect the piers of the A meda broad-guage Jine and the Oaklan Seventh-street line, forming a horseshce b:nd at or near High street. All broad- gauge trains could thus run in opposite directions from pier to mole around the horseshoe track through Alameda, Fruit. vale and Seventh street, Oaklana, and vice versa. This would involve along and short trip, differing in time only two or three minutes on the bo: only, instead of fil- teen or twenty minutes on the trains, as provosed by Engineer von Schmidt in THE CALL of March 81. Passengers could, however, avail themselves of the swing around the all-rail circle if they chose, for such a trip would doubtless become very povular. The abandonment of the narrow-gange trains over a drawbridge into Oakiand would n rily follow, but the addi- tional trips on the Seventh-street line, together with the increased comfort and novelty of taking the train going in either direction and avoiding the tedious wait at stations, would more than compensate for the loss of the short line from First to Fourteenth streets. The present run of the narrow-gauge trains through Alameda need not be interfered with. All broad-gauge trains would then run in opposite directions from pier to mole around the horseshoe track through Ala- meda to High street, Fruitvale, and Sev- enth street, Oskliand, and return, The Alice-street drawbridge could be dispensed with, while the Webster-street structure could stand and serve the purpose for which it was built. The Cohon Insurance, ALAMEDA, CaL, April 4.—The state- ment having been made tbat the premium pald for s term of years on the policies on the Cohen property would, if inyested, have equaled the value of the propert; has brought vut a statement from Cap Chipmap, the well-known insurance man. the highest rate paid on the property for the past twenty-four years was 40 cents on the §$100, which, with a total of $150,000 insurance, would amount 10 $14.400. Estimating that this was in- vested as paid in, he says the total with interest at the usual rate would not have been more than $15,400, gainst $300,000, the estimated value of the property de- stroyed. p e AR TO CUKE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

Excelsior Homestead with 1ts 120 blocks on the face of the hill south of tue Mission road is just now receiving its share of pub- lic attention through the action of the Mission Five-mile Improvement Club of which Dr. E. N. Torello is president. This section of the City has been hereto- fore neglected in so far as public improve- ments went, and has been generaily used as grazing run for da rymen for their cat- tle. This condition of affairs is now, how- ever, aboat to undergo a chan i stead of the bellow of the cow voic=s of the children will soon be heard romping about in mirtn and fun. Tae ciub, without a dissenting voice, has petitioned the Board of Supervisors to exten! the pound limiis, and in one par- agraph it says: “By eliminating the cow, hog and goat ranches from these distr.cts the City will greatly eain iaxable property, as hun- dreds of homes will positively be erected if a better state of affairs is inaugurated there.”” With this object in view a petition has also been forwarded to the School Direc- tors to built an eight-class schoolhouse on China avenue near Mission street, with the request that it be named the *“Monros Primary.” This modern structureis in- tended ‘to take the place of the pre-ent “‘ramshackle’” cowshed, where some of the children are compelled to attend schaol, while others are being provided with ac- commodations in that coeerless structure known as Liguri Hall. In addition to this the Board of Health is requested to have the dairies removed from the midst of the inhabited sattlies ment. At the request of the club members Sec- retary M, H. Levy read the resolutions which had been drafted ior the various City governing bodies, and without any loss of time these were signed by a ma- jority of the property-owners affected by the proposed improvements. Presldent Toreilo stated that the Su- pervisors ‘would appropriate $10,000 for the betterment of the bridge over the Mis- sion Creek west of Colleze Hill. Also that the Spring Valley Water Company would replace the smail pipes alony: Mis- sion street from Silver avenue to Ocean View. This will, when done, give ample protection a-ainst destruction in_ case of fire, as convenient hydrants and firealarm boxes will be placed along tbe street line. ————— Lost in a Snowstorm.
