THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED DAY, .FEBRUARY 9, 1898. MORE TROUBLE FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD Plan to Indict the Directors Colléctively Instead of Individually. The Leasz of the Lincoln School Property May Be Made the Basis for the Adoption of Like the ball of snow that gathers| size as it rolls, the school scandal is enlarging, until now it has taken first place in the minds of the grand jurors, | and even the misdoings of the Super- visors must stand aside while the work- | ings of the school board are brought into the light. The jury will meet to-morrow and | the session was to have been devoted to the charges brought against Super- | visor Delany and others, but it has been determined that the time shall be | employed in drawing up the indict- ment against Samuel L. Waller, found last Monday night, and in delving fur- ther into the surrounding circum- stances. The investigation is very likely to | causs surprise, for it is probable that | the jury will take a new method of set- ting matters straight. It has come to be the opinion that to indict a single | member of the board seldom leads to | any result except a superficial exam- fnation in the courts and the final dis- charge of the accused, and there is a sentiment in the jury that there is & better way than that. The idea is to indict the board as a whole—not the members as individuals, but the direc- tors as & board—and then bring the case up in the courts in that shape. If the members be put on trial all togeth- | er it is certain that those not concern- | ed in crookedness will not allow them- | selves to be made to pull from the legal | fire the chestnuts of the guilty, and as | a consequence some definite result is | more likely to follow. This plan will | come before the jury and there is every | probability that it will be adopted. | Some question is necessary, however, which can serve as a basis for a charge against the board as a whole, and this Such a Course. will probably be found in the recent lease of the Lincoln School property, on Fifth and Market streets, a transac- tion which has already attracted the attention, but unofficially, of several of the jurors. The lease was made at the beginning of this year and to a syndicate known, | not very widely, as the Real Estate In- vestment Company. This syndicate has agreed to pay the city $4000 a month for the property, that being’ the highest offered in the competition. It is denied by the School Directors and by members of the syndicate that there areanyof the Directors interested in the concern, but in spite of this the lease will be the subject of much investiga- tion, for it was declared at the time the board took action that the property could never pay that income and leave any margin for profit. At any rate the effect of the bid is being felt by the tenants, who are up in arms over the way they are being treated. " They have all been notified that on March 1 the rent will be raised, in some cases $25, in others $50, and in others $100; in one case, that of the Palace Sa- | loon, the rent has been raised $140. The rents now in existence for that block are fully up to the standard of rents for that section and that side vt Mar- ket street, and the tenants are of the opinfon that there is some scheme to have them out of the place to make room for -others more favored. That many of them will move out {s a cer- tainty; they are outspoken in the mat- terandseveral have declared they can- not stand any such raise as has been put upon them. Then, too, there are contracts to be let for the improving of the property, and these are heing given to contrac- fors who have friends on the board, al- though it is still denied that the board | has anything to do with the lease. The old book scandal is also food for more discussion by the jurors, and it is not improbable that the records of some of the Directors during that trou- | ble will be once more looked over for materjal to base a collective indict- ment upon. There were several worried faces in the departmnet when that scandal was in process of publication, and there is still more than one point unexplained. The school contracts will also be made to bear the fullest investigation, and symptoms of more trouble to fol- low are pronounced. The latest instance is the contract for tinting and varnish- ing the interior of the Girls’ High School, let to Scott & Wilkinson for $398 on June 30 last. Scott took the job and worked on it for several days until nearly finished, when one morning he found other men at work, and he learned that another | man was to “help” him. He declined | help and demanded that he be allowed { to finish the job unaided. He was told | it was all the same, he would get his money, and so it did not matter, but as | he still persisted his tools were taken from him and he was told they would be sold if he raised any trouble. Scott says his work was stopped by | Thomas Burns of the Buildings and | Grounds Committee; Thomas Welsh, | architect, and J. J. O'Brien, inspector. They told him they wanted to put an- other contractor on the job. Scott dis- creetly declined to say if the other man had been paid for the work he had done or if he knew if the contract had | been doubled up. He would only say | that so far as his pay went that was all right. THE WATER RATES ARE NOW TOO HIGH Reservoirs of the Company Should Contain a Supply Suf- ficient for T Money Has Been Collec hree Years. ted From Rate-Payers to Build Pumping Works and Provide Adequate Storage. The through its president, Howard, sends this petition Bpring Valley Water Works, Charles Webb to the Board of Supervisors, asking that the old rates heretofore established for the be re- year commencing July 1, 1895, stored: SAN FRAN Honorable Board and County of To the Cl n Spring Valley Water Works respectfully represent that to the present date the condi- The tions as to rainfall and catchment of water therefrom have been such that no water what- ever has been added to the storage supply of the company in its reservoirs: that all in- dications point to what is usually termed @& “dry winter’’; that the present and probable situation in this behalf has compelied and will compel the company to make large ex- penditures in way of new works and machin- ery, and to resort almost constantly to the pumping of water to insure a safe and ade-* quate supply for the consumption of the city and its inhabitants, and for an adequate fire protection during the coming year; that such pumping and new works have, for the reasons stated, become positive necessaries, and are now being constructed, one plant at Crystal Springs and one at Milibrae, besides the plant lately built and now running at San Andreas reservoir: that thereby without any compen- sating Increase in our revenue the operating | expenses of the company are largely increased and its interest account upon the capital in- vested made greater; that the estimated cost of such new and absolutely necessary works and machinery is the sum of $670,000, or more, and the extra and unusual cost of pumping for the year will be aboyt $50,000; and that besides these amounts a new forty-four inch pipe was necessary (laid from San Andreas in place of a thirty_inch pipe), at a cost of about $286,000; that the present rates were established on the basfs of the works in use before these extra expenditures for construction and maintenance had been incurred, at a time when the water supplied by pumping, as compared with gravi- tation, was proportionately small; that such basis for the coming year is not fair or equita- bie, and will not produce to the company suf- ficient revenue to justly compensate it for the service, or to permit it to incur the extra in- terest on this and other new constryction and the extra operating expenses demanded by the circumstances in its duty to the public: but that without such additional and extraordinary expenses for new works and machinery, and without such pumping and the consequent in- creasa of operating expenses, the supply of water, the storage of which has been largely reducéd by the wasteful use during the past year, will of necessity be limited and insuffi- clent the ensuing season. Therefore, the undersigned represents that the present rates work injustice to the com- pany and will impair its ability to render such efficlent, prudent and full service, as in the st, and hereby petitions your honorable Poara, by proper proceedings, to restore the rates heretofcre. established for the year com- mencing July 1, 185 SPRING VALLEY WATER WORKS, By Charles Webb Howard, President. This is the old, old story. The rate- payers, after paying for thirty years or more the interest on bonds and all the vast sums of money which have enabled the corporation to pay divi- dends on its stock, are now asked to come forward again and pay for more machinery and pumping works and the cost of pumping. Going back as far as 1886, when Washington Bartlett was Mayor, one can find definite and interesting figures. Solon Pattee, the expert, then reported that the com- pany had up to that time expended $11,000,000 in dividends and had collect- ed more than $22,000,000 in water rates. An accurate statement of dividends paid to date would startle the public. The amount of money that the com- pany has collected on water rates, @dded to the amount obtained by the | hydrant scheme to make the city bear | | part of the burden, would exceed $30,- 000,000. Before the Supervisors should think of allowing an increase of rates, figures should be obtained by an ex- pert to show the gross amount of | money collected from the people, to- gether with the amount paid in divi- dends on the stock of the corporation and the amount disbursed to pay inter- est on the bonds. ‘When Mayor Bartlett presented his figures the cost of construction to that time was $8,000,000. In February, 1880, when E. B. Pond was Mayor, A. W. von Schmidt pre- | sented figures showing that the cost of | the works up to that time was $9,784,941. | Subsequently he produced memoranda, | obtained from Herman Schussler, chiet | engineer of the corporation, which brought the total cost of the works up to $13,642,000. This included the big Crystal Springs dam and the Alameda pipe line. i | The people of San Francisco are now | staggering under a burden of rates | that permits the water company to pay | interest on a sum of $22,000,000. | The remarkable feature of the whole | transaction is that the people have | paid for all the permanent improve- ments—for everything in sight and out of sight—and now are called upon to | pay iInterest on money collected from | themselves and. disbursed by the com- pany. When the valué of the corporation’s property was figured up to be $20,000,000 | the rate payers were told that exten- sive permanent improvements had been made to insure the city against the | danger of water famine and to provide an adequate supply of water to extin- | guish great fires. The great dam near | San Mateo, the wonder of the world as a reservoir, was heralded as the stor- age supply that would carry San | Francisco over three dry seasons. The works are magnificent, but the rate | struction and have since paid the in- | terest on the amount they invested. The company has not encountered a dry season gince the big works were constructed. The rainfall for the sea- son ending July 1, 1897, was a fraction above the normal twenty-three inches. The season'’s rainfall to date is a shade less than six inches, .with twenty days of February and all of March and April to come. The water company is asking | an increase of rates on the apprehen- | slon of a scarcity of water. Time and again. the public was as- | sured that extraordinary disbursements | by the cqnpany were made to guaran- tee a three years’ supply. Figures were produced- to show that the peninsular area controlled by the company: would for forty years be sufficient for the sup- | ply of San Francisco. Great stress was placed on this point when the proposi- tion to bring water from Lake Tahoe was under discussion. The remarkable petition of the water corporation at this time should not de- ceive the Board of Supervisors. It will be time enough after two dry seasons have passed to go to the rescue of the Spring Valley Water Works. Meanwhile T | the corporation should spend some of |FIFTY YEARS MAN AND WIFE. | Celebration of the Golden Wedding | payers put up the money for the con- | its own money to improve the plant increase the supply. of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Axton. The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Axton was celebrated In a most auspicious manner last night at their residence, 721 Franklin street. | It would be hard to imagine a happler | scene than that in which the husband and wife of L.ty years’ wedlock formed | the central flgures, surrounded by thefr | children and the many warm friends who had come to honor the bride and groom. On Tuesday, February 18, 1848, Mr. Ax- ton married a beautiful maiden, Miss Esther Curl Sweasey, in the village of | New Harmony, Ind. Two years later the young couple crossed the plains in a “prairie schooner,” with a large party of emigrants, bound for California. They arrived at Weaverville in October of 1850, | the husband trying his hand at mining in that section. Three months of this con- vinced him that a miner’s life was not to his liking, so he concluded to come to San Francisco, where he engaged in the dairy- | ing business for the next five years. Then he bought a large stock ranch in Hum- | boldt County, on which he and his family resided until about five years ago, when they returned to San Francisco and set- tled in the home they now occupy. The Axtons, man and wife, are held in the highest esteem by all who know them, | and last night's celebration was all the | more enjoyable from the fact that the congratulations ana good wishes show- ered upon the loving and Lkeloved bride | and groom were sincere In the last de- | gree. —————— HEAVY-WEIGHT TROUBLES.

Why Lumber Merchant D. H. Bibb Was Daringly Boycotted by the Colnon Conspiracy. ©000000000000000 ‘When the case of the Paraffine Paint Company vs. the Harbor Commission is called this morn- ing, Attorney Matt Sullivan will spring a surprise upon the oppo- site side, and in so doing will ex- pose one of the blackest scandals that has ever been attached to a State office. The expose will be made by the testimony of D. H. Bibb, the well-known member of the D. H. Bibb Lumber Com- pany, having their offices on the correr of Pine and Sansome streets. Mr. Bibb was subpenaed late yesterday, and his apearance on the witpess-stand is anything but voluntary. Not that he is in any way implicated, but the dirty mess has already been laid before Governor Budd, and Mr. Bibb believed that there his duty to the public ended. | The scandal dates back a year and a half, and had it not been for the present case it might o o o [} o o o o o o o [} ° (<] ] o o o o o o o (] o ] [} ] o o have been buried forever. o 0000000000000 0000ODO0000OO0000O00000O o 000000000000000000 When Mr. Bibb takes the witness stand to-day ke will testify to the following story of attempted boodling and malfeasance in office: Eighteen months ago a Harbor Com- missioner went to Bibb and asked him if he would like to furnish lumber to the commission. Of course, Mr. Bibb answered in the affirmative, for it is well known that the patronage of this State department is a snug little busi- ness of itself. “Well,” sald Commissioner Colnon, “I will see that you get it. I don’t think that it will be very difficult.” After a little further conversation to inform Governor Budd in order that the latter might be kept posted as to some of the dirty work of his appoint- ees. Bibb and the Governor had a long interview, and when the latter learned of Colnon's way of doing business he used strong language in his denuncia- tions, but he advised Bibb to put in a bid for the lumber contract just to see what the Commissioners would do. Bibb did not do so directly, but he put in three bids indirectly. The word had already passed around among the lumber dealers and contractors that the Slade Lumber Company was the fair-haired favorite. Inglis and Slade had struck up a Damon and Pythias friendship that was ominous for all other bidders. Inglis went on Slade’s payroll, and it is already shown by’ its books that he received $1600 during the 5ix months he seemed to have enjoyed his “pull.” As stated, Bibb's bid was put in in- directly. Byxbee & Clark, commission lumber merchants, made a proposition for $8 per thousand, W. H. Smith bid $7 40 and D. K. McMullin’s bid was $6 90. Before the bids were opened Mc- Mullin_ misunderstood some remarks made by Commissioner Colnon, and fearing being pinched, withdrew = his bid. The others stood together with the bid of Slade, whose offer was to sell at market prices. Commissioner Colnon ignored the other bids, for it was said he knew that lumber furnished by Byx- bee & Clark and Smith would come from Bibb’'s mills, and at once moved that Slade’s offer be accepted, which was done. Since then, Slade has been selling the State lumber several dollars per thousand more than the market price. Governor Budd was among the most anxious to know how the transactions were carried on, and Bibb wrote a de- tafled account of the whole riatter. MEETING OF THE THREE C'S IN COURT. i the two parted. In a short time Wil- {lam Inglls, whose father is on Com- | missioner Colnon’s bond, appeared be- fore Mr. Bibb. Inglis was formerly in the lumber business, and since the present Board of Harbor Commission- ers have been in office he was recog- nized for a time as a sort of go-be- tween or middleman between the com- mission and the contractors. His pull on the strength of his father’s relations with Commissioner Colnon was rated as having a commercial value. Inglis took up the conversation with Mr. Bibb where Colnon had dropped it, but he prefaced a proposition which he subsequently made by telling Bibb how close he (Inglis) stood to the Commis- sioners and how much he could accom- plish for any one upon whom he be- stowed his favor. Then Inglis made a proposition which was regarded as decidedly cold-blood- ed. It was that Bibb should give him a salary of $250 per month for the favor Bibb was to receive at Colnon's hands, namely the furnishing of lumber for water front uses. Bib’'s reply was that he did not feel justified in increasing his payroll or providing any one with a sinecure. Inglis was not abashed, but said he had another proposition to make, which was that he and Bibb should go into a sort of partnership on the lumber furnished to the State; that Bibb should sell to the Harbor Com- mission one-half of all the lumber the latter wanted, and Inglis would sell the other half. Bibb was too shrewd to get caught in such a trap and this proffer also he declined. It was not long before Commissioner Colnon hunted up Bibb and asked him if he had seen Inglis and made any ar- rangements with him. Bibb was not slow in telling Colnon that he did not propose to stand and deliver to any one, and that he would not have any business transactions that were not fair, square and open. From that day to this Bibb has been boycotted by the Harbor Commission- ers. The scandalous nature of the whole affalr vexed Bibb so that he resolved ‘This letter s likely to be dragged forth at the trial to-day. So far as the Gov- ernor is concerned, the affalr seemed to have been dropped. After the chief executive had advised Bibb to bring charges against Colnon, Bibb told the Governor that he be- lieved he had done his duty in laying the case before the State's highest of- ficer. That Bibb has since been boy- cotted by the Harbor Commissioners as punishment for the part he took in refusing to be a party to the boodle scheme has since been demonstrated by the fact that no one handling his lumber can secure an acceptance of any kind of a bid. Although Bibb took | his punishment in silence the story of the boodling proposition leaked out, and since the beginning of the case now In court The Call has made inves- tigations and got to the bottom facts. To-day these facts will be presented under oath by Bibb. Last night, after Bibb had been served with a subpena, he was very reluctant about discussing the mat- ter, but said he would not deny the truth of the story and added: “I am, and have been, greatly averse to tell- ing anything about my dealings with the Harbor Commissioners. As I have been subpenaed I will have to tell the truth I suppose. I cannot deny the truth of the story, but if it must come out I would rather tell it in court.” The appearance in Judge Belcher's court yesterday morning of “‘the three C's” of Harbor Commission fame—Col- non, Chadbourne and ex-member Cole, was made the occasion of much sym- pathetic hand-shaking and mock jocu- larity. Counsel for the Paraffine Company explained to the court at the opening of the proceedings in the contract fraud and collusion case against the board, the manner in which Judge Cope and himself had been prevented from examining Slade’s books, in despite of the stipulation made in court last Thursday. Proceedings for contempt were suggested, but G. T. Knight, at- torney for Slade, disavowed any inten- tion of contempt on the part of the wit- |ness, and said that Slade had' acted ADVERTISEMENTS NEW GOODS SPRING AND SUMMER.

Mr. Knight did think the court had any authority to | order Slade’s books into the hands of opposing counsel. Slade therefore had intended no discourtesy, but had acted merely under legal advice. Judge Belcher said, “I am convinced I cannot punish the witness for con- tempt,” but subsequently ordered that counsel for the Paraffine Company should have access to the books while they were in possession of the court. After the morning’s session and as Attorneys Sullivan and Cope were about to exploit the Slade Lumber Company accounts, Slade made a bluff to stop them, but was soon made aware of the presence of the clerk and bailiff. Judge Belcher was on his way to his chambers when the interference was attempted. Attorney Wright made an especlal appeal to the Judge to allow Slade and himself to have the keeping of the books for a few hours, or until after recess, until he (Wright) might better determine the rights of his client. Slade fumed and objected that he did not want his “private af- fairs” exposed. Both men went after the Judge with such yehemence and persistence as would indicate a rather tortured state of mind. Judge Belcher declined to make any change in his order merely reiterating what would be regarded as a proper subject matter for inquiry, and notify- ing Slade and Wright that any at- tempt to prevent counsel from examin- ing the books while the latter were in the custody of the clerk would mean contempt. With the clerk and bailiff on guard, and Wright and Slade in attendance, counsel for the Paraffine Company spent the recess hours trying to ex- tract some specific information respect- | ing the Dundon-Slade transactions with the Harbor Commission from Slade’s accounts. Brief as was necessarily the re- searches made, enough was learned by Messrs. Cope and Sullivan before Judge Belcher reopened court to make it mer- ry for Slade on the witness-stand throughout the afternoon. It would be a waste of space and time to attempt a detailed review of the man's evasions, denials and veiled impertinence to the court. One striking fact was estab- lished at the outset. Slade had testified that he and he alone constituted the Slade Lumber Company. He has un- consciously and continuously spoken of the lumber company affairs as “ours,” and of its existence as “we.” The Slade Lumber Company books give him away completely, and put him in a po- sition as a witness that few men would care to occupy, for in them it is written plainly that the affairs of the Slade Lumber Company and the San Fran- cisco Timber Preserving Company are inextricably mixed and confounded. It is estimated that greater quanti- ties of gold and silver have been sunk in the sea than are now in circulation in the whole world. ADVERTISEMENTS.
