TH E SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, ARCH: 24, 1898. COULDN'T GET ICE-CREAM SODA IN LONDON. Little Venie Wells and Tiny Kim Poo Have a Poor Opinion of the Metropolis. e RETURN OF PRECOCIOUS LOCAL PLAYERS WHO HELPED LAUNCH| “THE FIRST BORN "~ ABROAD. Little Venie Wells and the equally diminutive Kim Poo have a poor opinion of London. Kim Poo sought in vain the length and breadth of the great metropolis for ice cream soda and found it not, and equally unsuccessful was Venie in her efforts to warm a frigid English audience to the necessary appreciation of Powers’ picture of Chinese life, “The First Born.” Little Venie and Kim Poo have just returned from the great metropolis with the “First Born” Company, and their impre: )ns of the biggest city in the world are not the most flattering. The query, “How did you like Lon- don?” made little Venie blin hd thrusting out her chubby little fists, she summed up all her feeling in the sen- tentious phrase—* - it was awful foggy.” In spite of the fog, though, Venie saw many of the historic relics of the great city, stared in admiration at the Queen’s plate and shuddered before the block and executioner’s ax. ut 11§ York best,” said Venie. “There was a lady in New York who knew my mamma and she kept w 8 candy store. And she gave me a stick of candy, for nothing, every day. And you can get ice cream in New Yorl Although but ars old, Venie lives and breathes only in the atmosphere of the theater, and like older players, applause is the staff of her life. So when Venie was asked about London applause, or rather, the lack of London applause, she bluffed the question with the assurance of an old and tried stager, and lisped: “London didn’t unc and me! Applause? Oh, say, this is my cue. I've got to go. You know I come on in this act.” And she bounded back to the Alcazar stage, although her tough scene was not on for many a minute to come. To Kim Poo, the lack of English approval meant nothing. “The First Born” might have set London wild and still the IRtle San Francisco heathen wouldn’'t have cared. He did London under the able guidance of Hugo To- land, and when he called for ice cream soda the British bar maid froze him with a haughty smile and nudged her THE INSIDE FACTS OF A CONTRACT A Big Sum Paid by the City for Fell- Street Paving. Everything Was Irregular From the Inception to the End of the Job. After the Work Was All Done by Private Contract Public Bids Were Invited. HISTORY OF THE SCHEME. Suspicion That a Clever Deal Was Arranged by Which the City Was Fleeced. The city and property owners have paid for paving Fell street from Baker | to Stanyan with bituminous rock. The granite curbing has also been paid for. | The city, being liable for half the cost | of the work, by reason of owning the | Panhandle of the Park, paid a hand- some price for the improvement. It may seem far fetched to go back to | work projected in 1895 for object les- sons in improvement, but since this work was performed there have been | interesting developments and more facts may yet be brought to light. On July 8, 1895, the Board of Super- visors, by resolution No. 12,615, author- jzed the Superintendent of Streets to | enter into a contract with the San Francisco Paving Company to pave Fell street from Baker to Stanyan— | nine blocks—with bituminous rock pavement, at a cost of 23% cents per | square foot, and to put in granite curbs at 85 cents per lineal foot. All the members of the Board, excepting A. B. | Spreckels, who was absent, voted for the resolution. The next proceeding in the board | was the adoption of a resolution, No. 12,650, repealing the foregoing resolu- tion, numbered 12,615.

WILLIAMS, Who Will Take a Promi- nent Part in the Forthcoming Masonic Festival. The Masonic Festival which is to be held early in May Is already attracting | widespread attention. One of the most interesting sights for the general public will doubtless be the display of j2wels, the regalla and the insignia of the order. | Valuable relics are to have prominence also, and it is understood that Henry F. Williams, who is the oldest Mason living in California, is to have charge of this most interesting department. There will be exhibited the Bible presented to the Grand Lodge by him—the | first Bible used by Masons in California—as well as the first set of working tools | and the first gavel ever used in the State, all also prepared by him. H The place of Mr. Williams in the Masonic world is exceptional. His father | and his grandfather were both Masons. His grandfather often sat in lodges with George Washington. He was the first Master Mason made in lodge in California, and he erected the first building used by the order in the State. Of course, he s a pioneer, and in this connection it may be noted that he was the first individual to put up a sign in San Francisco as a builder, and he erected the first carpenter’s shop that the city had. As a builder he was well known for many years, but of late he has devoted his attention principally to real estate. During the festival, it is said, Mr. Willlams will explain to all those Interested the whole of his connection with the order, as well as trying to enable all to appreciate the importance of the department which will be under his charge. He may have full custody of jewels, regalia, etc., which have an intrinsic value of at least $200,000, and the actual value of which could not be estimated, for in no instance could they be duplicated. The arrangements for the floral display are already nearly complete. What promises to be the most satisfactory feature of the whole festival is that those who have the arrangements in charge have determined that no single feature shall be allowed in any ay to be second rate. No expense Will be spared to make the fete for the Widows’ and Orphans’ Home the most charming week that San Francisco has seen In a long time.

An unexpected out of the contract. was done it was found, court decision in the Van Ness avenue complication according to case, that the Supervisors had mno power to authorize the Superintendent of Streets to enter into a private con- tract. The fact was recognized, how- ever, that the contractor had done the work and should be paid. To overcoma the objection the Board of Supervisors on March 17, 1896, awarded to the same contractor a contract to do the work at the figures above specified, after | having proceeded in the usual manner to invite bids. Of course, when the work was opened to public competition the pavement had been laid, and no contractor other than the one who had performed the work could carry out the improvement without taking up the pavement already laid. It s said that the successful bidder, after get- ting his contract in due form, dilpunch a few holes in the old work and put in new material as a matter of form. To make the proceedings appear abso- | lutely real the contractor on March 31, 1896, was allowed an extension of sixty days’ time to complete the work. On May 16, 1896, a proportionate as- sessment from Masonic avenue to Clay- ton street was issued. Under this the contractor obtained from the city $9423 62, less fees of $216 55. The assess- ment was signed by Thomas Ash- worth, Superintendent of Streets, and C. L. Taylor, Acting Mayor. The en- gineer certified that the grades were Borrect, except that the crown of the paving was seven inches above official grade. It is doubtful if an assessment against private owners, in the face of Sich a certificate from the engineer, would have provided money to pay the contractor. The contractor, however, had his own arrangement with the owners of property on the north side of Fell street. ‘Another proportionate assessment of $12,488 50 from Clayton to Stanyan was jssued. It was signed also by Thomas Ashworth, Superintendent of Streets, and C. L. Taylor, Acting Mayor. The engineer again certified that the grade was incorrect, the crown of the pave- ment being eight inches above official grade. & The third and last assessment for $12,983 was signed by Mayor Phelan. The whole amount collected from the city was $34,894. It is said to be an open secret among contractors and officers of the city gov- ernment that the property owners paid no such sum as this. . | against the decision of the local board of grew | ‘When the work | AN OCCASION Of unusual significance is our 3-day Gro= cery Sale.
