The salary demands of the employes of | the City and County were approved by the | Board of Supervisors at a special meeting | held yesterday for the purpose. Theem- | ployes wanted their money to enable them to celebrats the glorious Fourth in | proper shape. The board could not ap- | prove the bills at the last meeting as they were not dne until the mionth had run | | out. .To wait until next meeting would be | too late, so the special meeting was | called. [ The salary fund has been exhausted, | but thera are surpluses in other funds, o | that it only became necessary to transfer | those moneys into the general fund ard then make p. ion to have the drafts on | that. fund honorel when presented. | This was done through the adoption of | the following resolutio: Resolied, That the provisions of Order No. | 3018, regulating and designating the {imit of | expenditnres of the fiscal year 1896-97 as to the several apprepriations made, be and is herehy | set aside to atlow the Auditor to audit and the | Treasurer to pay alt demands on the treasury | properly allowed without rejerence to the said appropiiation. | The following resolution was also | ed: The personal property taxes col- | Assessor for the fiscal year 1897- ioned until after the taird Monday in Sepiember of this year, when the | levy of taxes is fixed and determined by this board; and whereas, the proportionatesmount | of taxes belonging to the City and Coun 1y is re- | quired to provide for the expenditures of this fiscal year for which they were recetved; an whereas, the proportion of the amount of said s belongin Iy d by th s City and County is | ); therefore, | urer-bs and 15 here- e and required to | tne amount collected by the As- xes | for the $225,000 to the general fund of said ytar for the payment | of outstanding salaries'and other liabilities. | The Auditor is hereby required to take | notice of the provisions of this resolution. | All day -yesterday Anuditor Broderick | was employed in signing the warrantsand | to-morrow:and Saturday the Treasurer’s | office will be besieged. Speaking of this |-it should be statéd that beciuse of the in- | ability of the Treasnrer’s effice to meet'all | comgers within the time t ‘e school teach- | | ers are required to wait for their money until Tuesday. This_arringement may | result in their not having so much fun on | the Fourth as theéy oiherwise would, but the chances arein favor of their having |msaze 1 afterward. RALING THE COLLEGE WALLS Rapid Progresé Made on the. New Build- ings, The Pharmacy -and Dental Structures Assuming Shape. All Mason Work Will Be Finished by the End of the Present Year. The work of ereécting the Affiliated Col- Jeges is going on at a rapid stride. H. Whittle, vice-president of the Rea Build- ing Company, who is superintending the construction for his firm, believes that by the end of the present year he will be in a position to turn the entire four buildings over to the carpenters. At.préesent the College of Pharmacy and Dentistry has its two stories complete, and by the end of the present week the third will be in a similar condition. The Veterinary College, which stands to the rear of this building, has its first story of pressed brick complete, and the foundation, with about four feet of granite, is already set on the College of Medicine. The Law College, which stands at the ex- treme western end of the line, has its con- crete foundation set and is ready for the stone work. All the buildings except the Veterinary College will have their first stories of heavy undressed granite. Over this will be handsome, yellow, pressed brick, with terra-cotta trimmings, which will give the entire coilection of buildings a handsome appearance. The stone is from the Folsom State prison, where it is quarried by convict lavor, but dressed by skilled mechanics. Toe pressed brick and terra cotta comes | from Lincoln in Placer County. In addition to Mr. Whittle, who looks after the interest of his company, the State has its superintendent in the person of Robert McKillican. The railroad company will as soon as the buildings are complete run a branch switch of its electric line from Frederick street round on Parnassus avenue, which | is the classic name bestowed on what was Sullivan street on the official map. This will give the students and others an op- portunity to get to the colleges from any part of the Ciiy within a few minutes. No Money for the Frult. Clifton C. Gilbert has been sued by W. E. Cole for $802, said to be due for fruit sold by | the defendant on behalf of the pleintiff, and not properly sccounted for after the money was received. e Pedersen Unjustly Accused. Peter J. Pedersen has sued the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation Company for $10,000 damages for alleged false imprisonment. Pe- dersen says he was unjustly sccused of for- gery. ROCKY ROADS 70 YOSEMITE National Park to Be Geolog- ically Explored by the Government, It Will Be Prospected for Min- erals, Metallic Ores and Fossils, Several Students From Berkeley and Stanford Will Have a Scientific Outing, H. W. Turner, who is in charge of the geological work of the United States Gov- ernment on coast, was busy yes- terday making prep- arations for an ex- tended trip to the Yosemite and Hetch - Hetchy val- leys and the Yosem- ite National Park. He will take a party with him and will spend three months or more till the snow tegins to fly in gath- eriug material and making surveys for topographical amd geological maps of that picturesque and but little known re- gion. It is a matter of news that no such maps have ever been made of that part of the State, notwith- standing that 1t has been visited and ex- lored more ‘or less y a iarge number of scientists. Besides Mr. Turner the party will consist of the State Univer- 8. Garfierd of Stan- ford University and Professor J. C. Bran- ner of Stanford. Pro- tessor Branner is a world -acknowledged euthority on the for- mation of valleys. Mr. Louderback is a son of the ex-Police showing their Judge of that name. tempt for geology. The party will start this morning and will go into the valley by way of Oakdale, Knights Ferry and Chinese Camp, and will thoroughly ex- plore the 1600 equare miles of the National Park, taking observations in every part of that vast domain, with & view not only to the geological formation, but to the va- rious minerels and metallic ores.

Dr, Tufts, a Druggist of Stock- ton, to Be Appointed Ex- aminer of Drugs. Against Dr. Kerns by Senator Perkins. THE CALL received the following dis- paten from Washington late last night: WASHINGTON. D. C., July 1.—The Inspector of Drugs ut San_ Francisco will be removed to- morrow on eccouist of charges made by San Francisco parties and filed at the Tréasury Department by Senaior Perkins ten days ago. Dr. Tuits, 8 druggist of Stockton, will be ap- potnted 1o succeed him. The removal of Dr. Kerns will not be un- expected by CaLL readers, the charges against him having been publisbed in these columns some days ago. It appears that Kerns complained to Collector Jackson that a laborer in the department named Brace Caminetti was guilty of intoxication and neglect of duty, Jackson discharged Caminetti, who is a Democrai and brother of ex-Congressman Camiuetti, and appointed another man in his place. Caminetti swore to be revenged by telling what he knew about Kerns,and he and a former laborer in the department named Gavin filed affieavits wnich were sent to Washington. The effidavits were a recital of alleged malfeasance in office on the pariof Dr. Kerns. They charge! him with being ab- sent from his office during business hours and with baving done private work in the time for which he received a salary from the Government, and with material and apparatus belonging to the Government.. Iy was charged further that Dr. Kerns’ wife used to visit his office with a large | telescope baskei and pack away quanti- ties of tea, wine and candy belonging to importers, and put into the basket by | Kerns._ | _ Caminetti now has a horse laugh on the doctor.
