THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY JULY 7, 1897 LINTON WAS OVERLOOKED Supervisors Make Twelve Appointments Without Consulting Him. He Protests, However, and Gets His Man Added as a Thir- tesnth Member, Rottanzi Springs Another Communi- cation and Clinton Tells Him He Is the Laughing Stock of the City. Dr. Rottanzi took his seat on the floor of the Board of Supervisors at the session hel Pheian had returned and o vied the duis as presiding officer. The doctor, how- ever, had already i a final report in his capacity as acting Mayor, revealin: new discoveries as the result of a furiher tour through the offices in the City Hall. This report formed the occasion of a more or less diverting exchange of compliments between the- deposed acting Mayor and Dr. Clinton. Tue discussion grew out of the board’s sion as (o what to do with the communication, It had been moved to refer it to the Finance Comm tee, of which Rottanzi is chairman. Rot- jected, saying that he did not that committee, to upon own acts. He moved that it be referred to the Judiciary and Fi- nance Committee joint Clinton found his oprortunity in this. He said that Dr. Rottanzi, with his usual modesty, did not wish to bear the entire responsibi of passing upon this w.ighty matter. but was apparently will- ing to share half the responsibi He pass ing went on to say, changing his tone from S8 m to s ght criticism, that D Roitanzi’s conduct was fast developing into a farce. Taking advantage of his brief suthority as the head of the City government, he had strutted in such de- gree that he had become the laughing of the entire community, and be on) thought it time that some check rould be put upon him—it wasaltogether i culou ttanzi, answering, said that Clinton’s remarks were evidently born of jealousy, 1d should bs given no weight—he cer- would give them none. He said toat Clinton ever since he (Rottanz)) had ned the position of acting Mayor of ity had been devoured by burning Chinton, flushed but smiling, declared his censure could not isy. for it would be impossible for him to be jealous of Rottanzi in any guise the latter might assume. He had simply stated a fact. Half the town was laughing at the capers of Rottanz: in his high of- fic He stated this with regret, he said, but felt 1t to be a du to cry a halt. Rotta could say wot d offend bim, as he would, of co y nsider the source. Mayor Phelan i pied here 10 say that he was pleased to see the zood bumor wita which the gentlemen exchanced these tart compliments, as otherwise he would have cailed them to order. But Rottanzi's communication had yet find a resting-plscs, 1t was moved to nitely yostpome it; to receive and ieit; to table it; torefer it 1o the Mayor; 10 ¢ it to the joint commit ee; to refer a special commitiee. All of these 1nd seconds, but none of them passed s vote was called upon sending it to the Finance Committee, which was vir. tualiy 1o send it back to Rottanzi himse. And tois carried. Following is the dis- rbing document : Hono to to Board of Supeivisors of the an Francisto—GENTLEMEN © por: on some of the ment visited by me e City gov present w ecorder’s office employs On an average 8 vy copyisis, who -re paid by the piec who eara from $80 to 50 per mon ing to the wwouni uf work P rem by the chief of the copy partment. 1 find that favorilism can racticed in his respect 10 & gremt extent, e charge is made that such is the ci-e eat difference in the amount earned by ists lends color 1o the accusation.

Respectiully submitted, T. & RoTTaXzI, Acting Mayor. San Francisco, J i Later in the day Clinton again provoked a tart discussion. He had been left out entirely in the distribution of a little bit of patronage. Tweive clerks were to be appointed to ““assist the public” in ex1m- ining the assessment records in tue work o! securing an equalization of assess- ments. Thereason that twelve clerks were {0 be appointed was that there are twelve members of the Board of Supervisors, each to apjont one. The resolution pas-ed early in the day, but only a few minates before adjournment Clinton discovered it. He had not been consulted and no man representing him was among the ap- uly out of order aud it was granted. He said that he had long ago promised Daniel Ward to secure him this bricf clerk-hip, but some member had evidently named two men, while he, Clinton, had not b-en allowed one. He moved thut Ward’s name be added. It was suggested that as the stipend | fixed for each was $50 and but $600 had been ajpropriatea to pay them tuis could not be done. Mayor Pnelan suggested that Ward be substituted in the place ot some other. William Daly s among the twelve, and jas he had a ce in the License Coilec- tor's office which ne would hold for a month atleast, and he could not therefore | fultiill the duties of the new office, Ward | migat be given his piace. Daly wus Haskins’ man, and he was not ready to give his matronage to Clinton. i Daly was to be displaced he wanted the {name of John Mallon to go in its stead and insisted on it. | Clinton demanaed as a right that he be | represented among the appointments. | Sheehan admitted he had by arrangement with some other niembers numed two of | the clerks, but refused to withdraw either | of their names. He said Clinton had seen J to it that he got as mnch patronage as any member and refecred to certain copying | that had been let out by the Water Com- mittee, of which Ciinton is chairman. Clinton declared that he had not named | a single employe in the City Hall, while | some of the members nad found places for | 8ix or seven. *1 wish to say,” said Britt, “that I am the man who bhas a right to comp! about patronage. I have had less ot | 1t than anybody; I am the fellow who got left.” The matter was finally settled by add- ing Ward’s name, maging thirteen clerks, nd the substitution of the name of Tohn i Mallon for that of Williem Daly. The | iist, as appointed, is composed of the fol- owing: J.J. Sullivan, P. A. Cadogan, William B. Smith, J, Mallon, Thomas | 0’'Donnell, J. J. Fogarty, George Lacomb, Johm Hamill, J. Fogarty, F. A. Elhoet, | Robert Noonan and Philip Hirleman. | The board refused to reconsider the vot | by which, 1n spite of the Mayor's refusal ut the last meeting recreated. Oniy Lzck mann and Clinton voted aye. 1t also re- fused to reconsider the vote by which the flice of janitor to the Tax Collecior’s oi- ice was declared vacant. Both were called | up vy Clinton. | all persons who have failed to makea statement of their personal and other property to the Assessor to do so under oath within ten days, and in case of fail- | ure that the arbitrary assessment made | by the Ascessor be increased (0 a amount deemed proper by the board. It passed. Smith introduced aresolution which was adopted providing that the Judiciar mittee inquire into ana report upon tue | statusofail pendinglitigation to which the | City is & party, and also to examine into | and report upon the City property here- | tofore leased or rented to private parties | or corporations, the terms, conditions of | such leases and the amountof the rentals, jand whether or not the revenue under the same is 8 reasonable return. The board resolved upon meeting fre- | quently vetween this date and the 19th | inst. for the purpose of hearing applica- | tions for the cor.ection of property assess- ments. The recommendation of the Street Com- | mittee favoring tne sxdoption of an inter- mediate grade on Liberty street (*'Battle | Mountain”) was laid over for a week at | the request of Supervisor Smith, who stili insisted on more time to consider. Tax Collrcior B ock was granted three weeks’ leave of absence. The following petition was presented and referred to commitiee: T) the Honorable Board_of Supervi; City and County of San Francisco—GENTLEMEN : We, tie undersigned, residents and taxpayers in said City and County and the owners of vroperty situated on Morton sireet, respect- tuilv petition yeur honorable body to repeal all orders and resolutions which prevent your peiitioner: from renting their said property unadeprive them of the beneficial enjoyment ther-oi, Puriicular seference 15 made to reso- lution (third series) and 13,470 (third seriex), aud tie orders passed in pursuance thereof.

PETITIONS REFERRED TO STREET-LIGHTS COM- | MITTE: GREAT SOCIAL REVOLUTION Major Brengle Thinks the, Time Is Almost Ripe For One. ! Booth - Tucker’s Colonization Scheme Suggested as a Remedy. . Tracts of Land Have Already Been Secured, but Funds Are Badly Needed. One of the conveniion arrivals this morning was Major Samuel L. Brengle, general secretary of the central division of the Salvation Army, and a prominent Christian worker. Major Brengle is a native of lndiana, | and nas been connected with the army | for the last ten vears, He was formeriy pastor of the Eggleston-square Methodist Church in Boston, and was prominent in evangelical work all through New York and the New England States, In May, 1887, he joined the army and | went to Englaud, where he studied their methods of work. Returning to this country, he was put in charge of Corps No. 1, in Boston, wherzs he nearly lost his life at the nands of a ruflian by a blow on the head by a brick. His faithfulness and success in preach- ing the gospel wera rewarded by rapid vromotion, and with the rank of adju- 1ant he successfully took charge of tue Maine, New Hampsaire and Rtode Island distiicts, where .is work was so uniformaly successful that the ranks of staff-captain and major soou followed. | His duties as geneial secretary involive | the oversight of the various divisions in connection with tne chief (flices, the charge of sub-«flices and going svout from corps to corps. He also has charge of | an overwhelming amountof correspond- | ence irom the offices of the various corps througnout the country. Major Brengieis also deeply interested | in the great social problems of the day, where labor is continually clasking with | capital, and predicts a great social revo- | lution in the near fuivre. “Tue world has aready seen several great revoiutions,” said the major. ‘‘Lu- ther burnea the bu.l oi the Pope, and this | was the beginning of the great religious | revolution which changed the religious trend of the world; Napoleon uninten- tionally started a great: political revolu- tion, which upsct all the old dynasty of | kings wuo were exercisinz a mighty rule | over their subjects and had simost begun to consider tuemseives almos: divine, | Washington was a snining light in the great revolution which decided the inde- yendence of the United States. Now the time is almost ripe, and to all appear- ances oniy a leader is needed and the social revolution of Jabor against capital will take place. Just what form it will assume I cannot say, but every day seems bringing it still nearer and nearer.” Major Breunzle then made a general re- view of the great work the Salvation Army has on hand, what it aiready hua done, | and suggested colonization and irrigation schemes of Booggh-Tucker as remedies jor the social evils of to-day. Last winter the army lodged and shel- tered on an average of 15,000 to 18,000 men each nizht in New York Citv, wuo othei- wise would have gone hungry and home- less. The colonization scheme is to secure land, erect siaali dwelling-houses on it and ‘apportion it off (o these homeless veopie. Many acres of lana have already been secured ;or this worihy coject, but it cannot be put into practical use as the army has no funds with which to erect | houses. Iiiscalculatod that with $25000 the test couid be made inside of a.our twelve months. gate the land of some of our great Amer can deserts and apportion it to the deserv- ing poor. Booth-Tucker, who bas spent much time in India ana studied the meth- od: of irrization ihere, thinks the plan is | practicable and is carrying on an exten- sive correspondence with benevolent men throughout this country and England. He is quite contident of securing their co- operation 1n this woritby eaterprise. Tue army will furn:sh and instruct worthy | colonis:s and place the work in charze of | comp-tent persons if they can only s:cure the .und: to sturt the enterprise. Mujor Brengle is hera to represant the army at the Christiun Endeavor Jonven- | tion in the absence of Bouvth-Tucker, who | is now in Euroje. While herc be will also speak at tue union holiness meet- | ine, 10 be held next Friiay evening at 1139 Market street, and will take an active | psrt 1n the big camp-meeting at Trestie Glen, whicu will begin July 15 and be con- tinued to the 1st of August. He made short stops at New Orleans and Los An- | geies on his way here, and is well satistied with the work the army has been doing throughout the country. While here his position in the East i« being abiy fitled by | Staff Captain A exander Damond. | VICE-PRESIDENT WATT. He Says He Found It Still Dull East, but There Ara Good Crops Everywhere, Robert Watt, vice-president of the Val- ley Ruiiroad, has returned after five weeks in various parts of the East.
