Au Obstructfon to Navigation in Contra Costa to Be Removed. Complaint has been made to United States Attorney Foote to the effect that the Taylor Slough dam in Contra Costa County is an obstruction to the naviga- tion of the slough. The dam .is about four and a half miles from Jersey Land- ing, and was built in 1872 for the purpose of reclaiming the swamp land of the dis- trict. Afterward the district was divided, one part being known as ‘‘Reclamation District No. 1"’ and the other as ““The Jer- i sey Tract.” 1t’is alleged on the partof the complain- ants that the dam has failed to reclaim the lands in the district; that it is useless for any purpose, and that itis an unwar- raniable obstruction to navigation. A. B. Davis, a wealthy man, known to his | intimate friends as **Hog Davis,” because of certain lucky speculations in pork, is largely interested in the Jersey Tract, and he and Trustees John R. Spring, F. C. Bethel and otners were notified to remove the dam. The matter wasleft in the hands of the United States Kugineer Corps. and they reported that tue trustees had taken no steps to remove the dam. Assistant United States Attorney Knight forwarded papers yesterday notifying Da- vis and the trustees that unless the dam shall have been removed within sixty aays he will take legal proceedings to de- A continuance of the obstable renders the trustees liable to punishment for misdemeanor.

They Want Better Pavements and Better Lighted Busi- ness Streets. An Appropriation Asked for Street Sprinkling, Sweeping and Sewerage. The Merchants’ Association has ad- dressed to the Board of Supervisors a me- morial on the tax levy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898. The memorial sets forth that the associ- ation represents taxpayers who contribute more than one half of the total amount of taxes in this City and that the assessed valuation of property. in S8an Francisco is proportionately next to the highest of any large city in the United States, atd higher than in any other county ‘of Cali- fornia. Last vear the Assessor returned a {otal valuation of $360,000,000, showing an increase of §100,000,000 during the past de- cade. Thisamount was further raised by the State Board of Equalization to $418,- 000,000, This year the Assessor has re- turned a total valuation of $345,000.000, equivalent to an average of $5000 for every male adult in the City. The memorial proceeds to say: The defective laws of finance and revenue governing this City are largely responsible for many of our worst financial aflictions. The absence of a number of specific funds and the consequent diversion, perversion aud deticits | in the revenue of the City, together with the irresponsible general fund, are -constant sources o1 .10ss_and confusion. - The interfer- ence of the Legislature cf tne State in purely municipal affuirs has enfailed addit.onal and often needless burdens upon our taxpayers: Itis safe tosay that the present obsolete and defective Consolidation act costs the people of San Francisco no less than a million dollurs annually. W are, perity can come to the City and its inhabilants until’ San Francisco has secured a modern charter framed upon the eniightened experi- ence of the most advanced cities of the world. The sssociation recommends that $130,000 be appropriated in the next levy for street sweeping and $20,000 for street sprinkling. The recommendation is also made that $50,000 out of the amount allowed for re- paving and repairing accepted streets be exclusively devoted to the repavement of the worst paved blocks remaining in the most traveled central portion of the City, such as Stockton and Geary streets. Every precaution should be taken by the City to prevent the frequent excavation of the public streets by the vAlious corporations New pavements that are cut up and relaid never have the strength nor the uniformity of the original roadway: The following recommendation is made on the subject of lighting: We recommend that an arrangement be made by which the number of gasligats in busi- ness streets be discontinued and electric-lights substituted. Particulars ana figures for exe- cuting such a plan have been prepared by this sssociation aud are at your service. By this method a fairly satisfactory system of electric lighting could be securad at an additional ex- pense to the City of $20,000 a year, On the matter of sewerage the report says: We respectiully recommend that the Mayor of the City be authorized to appoint a sewer-. age commission of the most reliable and com- petent engineers to complete this preiiminary | work, and that $25,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be appropriated in the next levy for this purpose.

The Grand Jury, which has been in ses- sion at various times during the.seven months just- passed, will make a final re- port to Judge Seawell this afternoon. A meeling was held yesterday afternoon to consider several documents relating to the business of the wind-up.

Later it was found to be acceptable to the court to have the document presented not later than 11 o’clock to-day. 3 ‘The final report will be a:document con- sisting of 3000 to 3500 words, It will deal Inrgely with | management of the departments having |in control the streets.and schools. of the | City.

In their opinion the trouble all arosein a personal quarrel between Mrs. Pettee and Mrs. W. G. Gurnett, a young widow who has lately been acting as solicitor of sub- scriptions for the organization. One gentleman who was waiting for Holbrook stated that he was a member of the society and had ten new names to udd, and did not intend to hand them in until he bad investigated the condition of atfairs now prevailing. Mrs. Pettee says she intends to keep on in her work in behalf of unfortunate and abused children, but will take care to do 80 hereafter in more congenial company. She is inclined to believe that Holbrook's mind was poisoned against her by others as an excuse for his taking sides with the other faction. As recards many of the rumors circu- lated about her sayings and doings, all of which she alleges are false, she threatens 10 bring suit for damages if they can be traced 1o their original sources, Many of her friends will doubtless leave the society with her.

This is also shown in the item of drawbacks, For the purpose of encouraging exports, the Governmeni allows a drawback or rebate on certain exported articles which bave been once imported, or in the manu- facture of which certain imported material has been used. For instance, an exporter of canned goods is allowed a drawback on the tin (if imported) of which the cans are made, and it 13 to this class of goods, more than any other, that this rebate applies. Thus the increased drawback for April, May and June, 1897, over that of the same months in 1896, would show that the amount of canned goods leaving this vort had increased. As California fruit forms a large part of this class of goods, the con- clusion would be that the exportation of canned fruit has materially increased, and this is undoubtedly true. The drawbacks for the three months mentioned in 1897 were $30,768 54: for the same period in 1896, $50,223 74—showing an ncrease of $60,544 80, or nearly 170 per cent. The total customs duties.paid during the same period of time were: 1897, $1,~ 422,152 98; 1896, $1,149,471 08—showing an increase ior the months of 1897 of $272,- 681 90. A Tue total value of imports for the same period, including both iree’ and dutiable goods, was: 1897, $11,160,384; 1896, $10,~ 683,162—increase, $477,222. ‘The yalue of uudutiable imiportations for the three months was: 1897, $8,565,- 32771896, $8,214,770—an increase of $350.557.
