Veto of the Contract for Re- pairing Third Street Pavement. Devany Determined to Put a Stop to Slot Machines Used by Saloons and Cigar Stands. Mayor Phelan has addressed a com- munication to the Scavengers’ Union, in reply to their petition requesting him to veto the order passed by the Supervisors at their last meeting, in which he denies that the order is prejudicial tc their busi- ness or that it will injure the scavengers in any manner. The Mayor states that the Board of Health will not require the use of any particular make of carts, but will only insist upon garbage wagons belng water-tight and covered. Regard- ing the resolution passed declaring in favor of a tax levy to enable the board to enter into a contract for the removal of garbage at the city’s expense, Mayor Phelan informs the union that the proper course to take is to protest to the board next September, when the levy is made, or else secure the contract itself for its members. At yesterday’'s meeting of the board the Mayor presented nis veto of the resolu- tion awarding the contract for repairing the bituminous pavement on Third street, between Mission and Howard, to Flinn & Treacy. This is the job recently exposed by The Call, wh--ein the Supervisors ig- nored the bid of J. J. Dowling of $§75 and awarded the contract to Flinn & Treacy at $209. When Dowling’s bid was called to the attention of the board, Supervisor Britt said that Dowling had bid for the work under a misapprehension, The mat- ter went over until last week, when Dowl- ing was called upon for an explanation. His statement was lamentably weak, but the board accepted it and awarded the contract to “\\1‘ other firm. In his veto message, the . g admitted before the of Supervisors that if the contract re awarded to him he would do the work, and I recommend that it be so awarded.” Devany offered an amendment to the resolution presented by Delany last week regarding the licensing of nickel-in-the- slot machines. Devany’s amendment ex- 1y prohibits the licensing of all such i nners in drinks, ci- gars juivalent. The effect of this order would be to abolish all such machines, which is Devany’s object. The matter was referred to the License Com- mittee. The Equitable Gas Light Company fied a bond of $500 ured by the National Surety Company, as & guarantee for prop- erly repairing the following streets after laying mains thereon: Stockton, from Sutter_south and across Market; Post, from Stockton east to and across Mont- eet the same. a resolution to s of expenditures being provided and paid for the lighting o1 public buildings, owing to the insflicienc The deficie: decided to a clerk to advertise for bids for repairing all bit- uminous streets for a term of two years, The bids for laying stone sidewalks on , between Geary and O Far- on April 4. were rejected. 3 BT Y e ropointed. . to take charge of Insane patients temporar- detained at the City Hall, at a salary a month, and Mrs. Nellie E. Wright and Miss Louise Malloy were apointed matrons at $60 a month each. The board staved off for another week the request of the Mutual Electric Light Company for permission to extend its service, in order that it may be prepared to enter into competition for the public lighting contract; also the petition of the Merchants’ Association for the lighting of public streets by electricity, by adopting a resolution referring the matter to the committee of the whole and fixing the date of the meeting at 10 o'clock next | Saturday. As the present contract for lighting public buildings expires on May there is little chance of the Mutual Company being given a chance to make good its guarantee to save the city $40,000 a year on the present cost. Mayor Phelan asked that the final pass- age the award of the contract for re- paving Market street with bitumen he postponed one week, in order that fI. E. Huntington might confer with the Street | | m T Committee as to whether the railroad ortion of the! company would pave its street. Devany objected, and Mayor Phelan asked if he was prepared to au- thorize the work if the company refused to perform its work. Deyany said thought the company could be compelled by law, under the terms of its franchise, to repave its portion, and the resolution was passed. et SR STREET IMYROVEMENTS.

Colonel Parnell ;l?illAnot Appear in the Role of Prosecutor. Colonel Parnell, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren, is considerably annoyed at the po-| sition in which he thinks the Superin- tendent of Schools is evidently trying to F]ace him relative to the matter of the nvestigation of Miss Slavan, one of the teachers of the Cleveland Primary School. Several weeks ago a number of the lit- tle pupils of that school called upon Mrs. Prescott, the assistant secretary of the society, and told her a shocking tale to the effect that their teacher, who is a sister of the principal, is given to the use of language not fit to be uttered by a lady and a teacher of the young. Sec- retary Parnell communicated to Superin- tendent Webster the substance of what the children had told the officers of the gociety, saying that he believed the in- vestigation of the same rightly belonged to_the' School Board. at the board decided to make an in- vestigation of the case is evident from the ct that Secretary Parnell recently received a letter officially notifying him to be present to-morrow at the head- quarters of the School Department with his witnesses, when he and they would be heard. Colonel Parnell is very much | annoyed that he should be placed In such | a position by the officials of the School Department. He so wrote to them yes- terday, saying that they have no right to place him in the position of prosecu- tor, and there was nothing in his first could be so strued. vas one wholly within the prov- the School Board to do as it sees fit. As Colonel Parnell has given the Superintendent the names of all the witnesses he knows of, it 1s not at all likely that he will appear at the meet- ing, nor will he make any effort to round up the witnesses in the case. e Suit Over a Piano.

Action Increasing Membership Is Received With Favor. Designed to Afford a Representative for Each Polling Place in the City. Speclal Dispatch to The Call SACRAMENTO, April 11.—The action of the County Central Committee whereby the membership was increased from eleven to seventeen has met the | general approbation of prominent Re- publicans in this citv. The design of the committee was to meet as far as possible the provisions of the Stratton primary law recently declared by the Supreme Court to be defective. While the purposes of the law are defeated by the decision there is no doubt that :m_ny of its features were indorsed by | the people generally, and to meet that sentiment the committee took the ac- | tion it did. Under the Stratton primary law | there were a greater number of polling | places provided for than has been cus- | tomary to have heretofore. In order to respond to this evident desire on the part of voters the com- mittee was compelled to increase its lnumber so that the additional polling | places which will be provided for later would not be without a representative of the party. The action of the com- mittee is highly commendable as it brings the choice of delegates and other party privileges more to the people The following interviews show the fav- orable feeling: Judge C. N. Post—I can certainly sea no objection whatever to the action of the committee. F. B. Adams—It should have been done long ago. It was the proper thing to do and meets with general approval f all good Republicans. A. J. Johnston—TI heartily approve the committee’s action. Under the present increase of membership the represen- tation throughout the county will be much more satisfactory than it is now. Dr. F. F. Tebbetts Taustee—I favor | the action of :he committee and have o | all along. The :arger the committee | the better. | "Ed Roeder—I am in hearty accord | with the proposition which increased | the number of County Committeemen. | It was a very wise move, an® I believe gives general sat.sfaction. |~ william M. Sims—The action of the committee is certainly sustained by the best Republicans in the city and county. I have heard no one express any other opinion. | Judge E. C. Hart—I can see no harm in it. I am sure that it was not in- tended to get the best of an body”, but | to have the city and county fully rep- resented on the committee so that Re- publicans generally will be made to take a livelier interest in the affairs of the party. T. A. Lander—I most certainly ap- prove the committee’s action. J. W. Wilson—I have heard no gne complain, and as far as I am concerned 1 believe it was the proper thing to do. R. T. Devlin—To insure success the larger number vou interest the better. | I Dbelleve the committee realized that | fact when they ircreased their number. | | ADVERTISEMENTS.
