THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1897. 9 DR, DODGE MOVES ~ 10 RECONSIDER But the Majority Decline and the Water Order Is Adopted. The Superviso:s End the Long Contest by Staniing With the Haskins Figures. Consiferable F:elinz Arcus:d Over the Discussion—Tribute to the Dead Firemen. rervisors yesterday held a post-mortem over the water question. Although dead, they diagnosed its case at great length. Dr. Dodge renewed his motion for a re- congideration of the vote by which the Haskins order was passed at the last m: eting, but it was defeated by the same vote by which the order was passed lasi week, and then the formal vote passing the order finaily was taken. There was a gooa deal of talk, the fizures were gone over and over again, but the final vote as a disposition of the mat- ter Dot much iaterest was manifested. The feature of the discussion was Supervisor Britt’s speech in defense of his own posi- tion. Mr. Dodge, however, returned to the charge and renewed the ‘“‘post-mor- tem.” Haskins said nothing during the after- noon. Delaney made a short declaration on his own bebalf, saying he voted for the Haskins’ order beeause it was the best; that it fulfilied the pledge made to the Democratic convention of reducing the revenue of the Spring Valley to 5 per cent on the capiial stock atd that was why he was for it. ou should find hereafter that it did reducs the revenus of the company d youvole next year to cut down the res’ in proportion?” ssked Mayor an, Well, that 1s a question I wou'd not care 10 answer just now,” said Delaney, and the lobby, ‘which was well Isughed outright, Yesierday morning a meeting of the cowmittee appointed by tne Democratic Municipal Convention to see that tie ncminees of that convention who should be elected would fulfill their pledges was reld at the Mayor's office. The com- mittee is comvposed oi Dr. D. F. Ragan hairman of the convention), Alexander T. Volgelsang (chairman of the commit- tee on piwtiorm) and W. r. Sulivan (cbairman of the General Committee). They prepared and adopted an address to the Democratic members of the Board of Supervisors, and while the board was in session the address, signed by the three persons named, was laid before them. It reads as follows: SaN Fr. 8C0, Cal., June 8, 189’ Dear Sir By resolut! adopted by the ocraiic party of this City aud County in sst municipal convention assembled we, the signers of this letter, were appointed & ee jor the purpose of securing & stri rcement of the platform by that cony adopled, and by you indorsed and subscr: iviig your nominati w hold. powers were conferred upon this e'and we were directed to report back 1o the next municipal convention the | Tesu of ur efforts in this behalr, von which our ticket went yeople provided th made in the cost of water to our citizens as v he watercompany a revenue suffi- v terestat the rate of 5 percent per n upon its capital stoc Reductions in ce of gas, electric light and telephone o called for. n your honorable board on P The plas b tothe ay 27, he effect that in Valley Water ér cent inlerest adopted a reso t the rates of th mpany it be allowed b s investment, 6 per cent as ofore, we fell that you were thorouzhly and that the pledges of the Demo i y ns would be es conforming to tne lgdge would Lave been no matter by whom it should have sed. nd the deliberation of your board up to the time of the nce, but w de- was exercised this or- ascertained that ion as was claimed tor oduced it; and ave D0 hesitation in saying that its fical 2 would be a clear violation of the your resolution of May 27, 1897, and rit of u to reconsider all of the Haskins d toadopt edges of your- reject 4 rates as wiil redeem the of our par ion we beg to say that in our re- next municipal convention e Ay trutnfully state that this board redeemed its pledges and the promise cf the convention, and we hope that 1t shall t be our painfui dut: to hold D to the storn of the Democracy and the people of this icipality the nameof any recreant pledge- ng Supervisor. Yours respectiulir, The question of the water order did not come up until late in the afternoon. Dr. D.dge moved the reconsideration, and HasKins submitted tho following 'state- ment: Mr. President and Members of the Board of Supervisors of the City and Couniy of San Fran- CisCo—GENTLEY As some doubi has been expressed about the amount of revenue that will be derived from the new schedule for water rates, introduced by myself and adopted by the board, it being claimed that it will yield more than 5 per cent dividends upon the Bpring Valley Company's capital stock, I de- &ire to present & siatement which will bear the closest investigation, and will, in my opinion, convince any feir-minded person that the order we have passed is in keeping with our pledzes. 1 desire first to call attention to the orders introduced by other members, which in my opinion would not give the company 5 per cent interest on its capital stock, and would no doubt have caused it 10 appesl to the courts for a further adjudication of the rates. This action no member of the board desired. The Clinton substitute for the Water Com- mittee order provided for the following reduc- tions; 16 per cent on bonsehold rates. . --$152,504 5 per cent on me er rates.. 27,750 20 per cent op shipping raies, 9,000 Total......... caeene $189,25¢ To meet this cut Dr. Clinton proposed the lowing: er cent off dividends on capi:al stock DT S1,800,000. . v+ - $128,000 Increused businel 63,000 Total vesweee.. 819,000 Supervisor Dodge offerea & substitute pro- viding for reductions as follows: 15 per cent off bouseholder rates.....

The order introduced by myselt provides for reduction in rates as follows: 12 per cent off householders’ rates........$123,908 2 per cent off meter rates o S 1,000 | per cent off shippiug I 9,000 Total. wawess o -$143,909 The order snows that there have been reduc- tions made in slmost every household rate, and it is easy to calculate #nd ASCETLHIN AL 1L | nmm e enmmm verage reduction upon the whole that sour: of 13 per cent.

That order failed and be voted for the Haskins order as the next best. He said e had not :mpugned any other member's motives and would not allow any, member to imp his. “He had done what he had done from conviction; he was not prepared to sub- ject bimself to having the fiuger of scorn pointed at him with the charge that & was a coward; that he had been coerced into acting contrary to his convictions; he would rather break his pledge (o politi- cal party than through any act of coward ice fina himself ashamed to look his {riends, business assoc: and the mem- bers of hisfamily 1n the face. With re- gard to ‘the grezt Iroquois Club’ he said: ‘The idea of it undertaking to censure this board is a pretty one. Why, the members of the commitiee of thrée are all disap- pointed politicians; some of them wore out the legs of Mr. Kkainey’s pants seeking his support for nominations before Democratic municipal convention.

Before putting the motion, Mayor Phelan asked Mr. Keilogg, the Spring Valley’s attorney, who was present, if he was now prepared to accept the Has<kins order and not take the matter to court. Mr. Kellogg answezed that he was not pre- pared to s. “Do you still insist that the company wiil pay 6 per cent to its stockholders?’ he nsked. “Yes, sir, Ido,’’ was the reply. Supervisor Britt paid an eloquent trib- nte 10 the three firemen who were k.lled at Sunday's fire. He presented the fol- lowing resolution, which was adopted : WHEREAS, Ata conflagration in this City on Sunday, the 6th fnst., the lives of three of our brave citizeus were sacrificed in the persons of Timothy Hallinan, John Moholy and Frank Keller, while in the performance of their duty &% members of the Sau Francisco Fire Depari- ment; «nd whereas, it is meet that this board should take cognizance of and acknowledge the heroic deeds of these heroic men who nave met an untimely deatn in defending the prop- erty of others, therefore. Resoived, That this board deplore the tragic death of their ieliow-citizens ot the Fire De- artment and tender their heartfelt sym- pathy 1o the bereaved families and friends of eased; and be it further ed, That & copy of this resolution be spread upon tne minutes of tnis board and a copy be sentto the family of each of the de. ceased firemen. Britt said he had been requested by the head of the Fire Department to invite the Mayor and members of the board to at- tend the {funeral this morning. The invitation wasg accepted. Britt moved that when the board adjourn it adjourn | out of respect to the memory of the dead beroes, and this, too, carried. A resointion directed at our Senators and Representatives in Congress, urging that they use their best endeavors to secure the continuance of the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii, was passed. | The order providing that na burials | shall be made in the City Cemetery after ithe 1si of January nexi was passed to print. The order repealing the order which | provides for the establishment of food | inspection stations was upon motion of Dr. Dodge indefinitely posiponed. When { the question came to 2 vote the Supervis- | ors as usual becams confused and uncer- | tain whether they ware voting for the repeal or for the order itself. When | Bmith’s name was called he rose and saia | be had introduced the repealing order some time ago at the insiance of the order providing for the food inspection stations to stand, and then he voted “aye’’ for the order which repealed it. Clinton, who sits next to Smith and between whom there is constant war, rose and congratulated him upon the moral courage displayed in acknowledging that he was wrong. “What do you mean by that?” asked | 8mith, his eyes blazing. “Only that you made a mistake and voied to defeat the order which you intro- duced,” said Clinton, a8 he sat down. *“Youare a— f00l,” said Smith, lond enough to be heard through the hall, “I don’t care to talk to vou at all,” said Clinton. Haskins’ cigarette ordinance, recom- mended by committee for indefinite post- ponement, called out a sharp little yass- age between Clinton and Rottanzi. ton in speaking to it said thatin this matter Haskins had gone too far, as Rot- tanzi had in bis water order.

Petitions numerously signed by resi- dents and taxpayers were presented re- questing that a reasonable appropriation be made in the next tax levy to provide one or more small parks in the Mission dstrict. Similar petitions submittinz resolutions were presented by the San Francisco As- sociation of Improvement Club-. The resolutions suggested that as a beginning | selections be made between Fourteenth | and Thirtieth streets.
