San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Jan. 3. From henceforth Oaklanders must pay extra for taking a bath. “The_infamous | schedule of water rates passed at the | behest of the combined companies last March went into full’ force and effect to- | day and the public will be legally cinched for the remaining six months of this fiscal | year. | The following exhibit shows what has | come to p y are the bills of W. J. Abernathy, who lives at $11 Thirty fifth street: | Btet+++++bsttttto | : For Water January, :3 Slin A 50 4| + For Water February, il + 1898. . 1.95 + | + For Every Month in - : 1898............ 1.95 : + FOR JANUARY, 1899.. 255 + + 2 + Diettrt+ere 4444440 These figures are taken from the re- ceipts in the possession of Mr. Abernathy, and a call at the office of .the water com- | pany by a reporter verified their cor- | rectness, | This enormous raise in the water rates | coming just at this time is possessed of | very forceful significance: It shows that the water companies are planning to | make a deceitful showing before the City Council when they filé their statements | upon which the schedule shall be based which will go into effect July 1 of this year and continue one year. The City Council two: weeks ago passed | the ordinary resolution - instructing the | tlerk to inform the water companies that | they must file their annual report of all expenditures and receipts for 1888 so that the Council can commence in February | 2dule for the next fiscal year. | be filed under the | day of January in to fix the sc Thes law reports -must before the 3lst cceeding vear to the one covered by for 1898° will contamn the eipts at lower' rate and will not show one cent of the receipts for the six months commencing January 1, dur- ing which the company will be charging | thé extértionate rates guaranteed them | an obliging Couneil. - Another significance connected with this sudden raise in water rates is that a city campaign is now opening and that he Teport. These Teports must contain | detailed statement of every payment every house, public building or | served by the companies. | | the several of the Counclimen are candidates | for re-election. It is hardly to be sup- posed t the voters will support any of the men who voted last March to saddle such a steal upon the city as is now be- ing carried out. An inquiry at the office of the Contra Costa Company brought out some inter- esting information. It was stated that from.now on the company will charge the new schedule, the honors of which, at the tinme it was passed, belonged to Council- Woodward and Henneberry primar- nd to Councilmen Heitmann, Brosna- 3 Earl and Watkinson secondarily—the | former whole six having. voted for it. At the w. company’s office it was ex- lained that the raise would fot be a very arge one, and would only amount to 10 or 15 vents on houses where the rate has beeri $1 per month. Investigation outside roves that the raté on a house paying 1 95 is now 32 55, which is a raise of a lit- tle ‘over. i1 ent—which the cashier mall. id, “‘our first charge is of the amount of space occupies. Then we charge for 2, S0 much a square foot. After if there #s a bath in the house there mall charge for that. Then we are also enabled under the schedule to make another charge for a closet if there be one attached to the house. Of course there is a difference between. one and two story ho Hitherto we have not charged for ets, but we are’ doing so this Vear. Had the cashier not been quite so busy he might have gone on a little farther and sajd that “‘under the schedule we charge so much extra for a horse or a cow, so much for washing windows with hose, so much the public schools for the amount of space. they occupy and just amount per pupil. We also charge special rates for laundries and very special rates for every branch of the municipal service that uses water, with extra attention to the fire hydrants, for the planting and re- pairing of which, under the new ordi- nance, we are also entitled to collect gen- erously’—and all this would have been Just as true as what the cashler did say. When the Water Committee of the Council made its investigation last Feb- Tuary panies it took their figures and allowed generously for all possible margins, after which it fixed a schedule that would al- low 6 {x@r cent investment on the inflated capitalizations of the companies. The rates now being charged are just about twice what would have been collected under the ordinance, the preparation of which was . undertaken: with much con- scientiousness and care. This ordinance, however, as all of Oak- land knows, was thrown aside by the “solid six”" and one prepared by Mr. Hen- neberry was substituted. There was some irregularity about thts, and then came forward Major E. W. Woodward, who had been appointed but a week, but who was already furnished with an elaborate schedule and defense of tue water com- panies, which he claimed to have pre- pared, but which was proved at the time were prepared by émployes of the water combine. This is the scheduie which is now being foisted on .the public and which will pay the water companies for the next six months fully 15 per cent in- terest on their inflated capitalizations, while the law allows.them 6 per cent. As the water companies ‘‘came to- gether” in January. of last year and raised the rate on a 5-cent house to $195, and as theré is now the same “‘under- standing’” between the two companies, the raise on January 1 was general, In this connection it Is interesting to note that last October The Call .publish- ed exclusively the statement that the wa- ter companies were resurveying every house for the purpose of enforcing the ex- tortionate Woodward schedule, which was to go into effect at the close of last vear or the beginning of this vear. At that time the presidents of the two com- panies rushed into print and fndignantl denied that they were doing any sucl thing or that they contemplated any raise on the rates then in force. For the past six months little by little the Woodward schedule has been applied to the municipal buildings, and where $20 er month was formerly paid at the City Tall, the bill suddenly jumped to $110. A conservative estimate of the effect of the Woodward ordinance if put into full force over the rates fixed by the commit- tee and guaranteeing fully @ per cent on the investment would place the steal now commenced at $250,000 for the fiscal year. CRCFELS COMPANIES TO COMBINE. You see,” he made on the basis the hou {rrigatin, tha Contra Costa Stock Takes a Sig- nificant Jump.

Last Friday the stock could not be sold for $50. | It was openly stated that the Contra Costa had absorbed the Oakland or Din- | gee Company, and that henceforth there was to be no competition. One of the most prominent men con- nected with the companies was asked to- night by a Call reporter if the report were true. He partially confirmed the start-| ling information. | “There has been no consolidation yet,” | he sald, “but the two companies will cer- tain come together. No other course | can be expected, and negotiations have been pending for some time between the | two companies. “The Contra Costa has got to the end of its rope, and its rival is as badly off. When the competition began the Contra Costa Company had only used a little more than half of its bon Now it nas | used them all, and has not paid a cent | in interest on stock for four years. | “When you see stock jump suddenly | from 50 to 65 you may Know there i something substantial behind it—and there is. As yet, however, the two com- panies have not consolidated. The past season has shown that the two compani together only have about enough water to supply Oakland, and competition is no longer possible. 'Two years ago the Con- tra Costa people wanted to buy out their rival, but Dingee wanted altogether too much. Now It is different, and the two must and soon will come together. | “The Contra Costa Company has been | forced to open an immense pumping plant | |at Alvarado, and this has cost it nearly | | one-fourth of its entire bonded indebted- | ne Both companies fully realize that their combined plants are necessary to tide Oakland over a dry year, and they also realize that for the protection of one general management. This is the sit. uation that caused the stock to jump heavily in to-day’'s market.

For the past four years his health has been failing and during the greater part of that period he had been confined to his home, so that the final summons came not unexpected. His life was one that through enterprise, firm will-power, generous impulses and ster- ling character had raised him from a boy at sea to a man of riches and contented ! t was held ome | | |CAPTAIN HENRY MATTHEWS. | | | old age. A native of England, he had | | sailed the world over prior to 1846, and | when in that year he arrived in San Fran- | | cisco from Honoiulu the present metrop- | | olis across the bay was but a cluster of | | rude houses and was called Yerba Buena. | | He had come here to join General Fre- | | mont, who was then at Monterey, but | | lack of funds prevented him from gccom- | | plishing the object set out upon. In San | | Franciseo he accepted a position as ware- | | houseman in charge of the general store of Frederick Ward and Wiliiam Smith, | then located 'at what is now corner of | Merchant and Montgomery streets. After- | ward he went to the mines and finally he | | conducted a wholesale lumber business. | He was also for some years one of the harbor pilots. There was no movement | {in San Francisco in the early days that | he did not assist liberally, and he always | showed the truest public spirit. He was a | member of both vigilance committees, that of '51 and that of '56, and he did his | share toward stamping out corruption | and crime. Twice has he been honored | with the vice presidency of the Society of | California Pioneers, of which he was one | i of the oldest members, and his interesting narratives of his travels through Europe and Mexico are perhaps still fresh in memory of his confreres of that organiza- | tion. | | He was a family man, devoted to his | wife and children and very domestic in his tastes. The bubble and excitement of the political sea had no charms for him, | The fact that he played the first musical | instrument at a religious service in this | State at an Episcopel gathering hald at what is now the corner of Clay and Kear- ny streets—was considered by him a great- er distinction than had he held any politi cal honors. The flute he played on that | occasion he christened “the sacred flute,” | and only recently he made a gift of it| to the Society of Pioneers. He was also a member of Golden Gate Lodge No. 30, F. | and A. M. . { Mr. Matthews had resided in Oakland | for the past twenty yvears. He held the | love and respect of all who knew him. | He leaves a widow, three sons—William H., Henry, L. M. and John W.

PATRONAGE YET IN DOUBT CHURCH WILL CONTROL THE HOSPITALS. Some Pretty Compliments Paid to the Work of the Board by the New Presi- dent. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 3. The SuperviSors met this morning and the two members elected last November were installed in office. The proceeding consisted merely of Mr. Church and Mr. Talcott shaking hands with themselves, getting out of their chairs, turning around and sitting down again. As soon as the board was informed that it must organize for this year, Mr. Mit- chell nominated J. R. Talcott for chair- man. In seconding the motion Mr. Church said: I had the pleasure of placing Mr. Talcott in nomination two years ago and 1 have no reason to regret my action.” Mr. Talcott was elected unanimously. In taking his seat he said many pleas- ant things of his colleagues. He said that he believed every member of the board had endeavored to give tne people an honest administration, and that there were more good roads in this county now than at any time in its history. Later during the session Chairman Tal- cott presented the following list of com- mittees: Judiciary, county buildings and im-| provements—Mitchell, Church and Roeth, | Auditing and finance—Roeth, Mitchell and Church. Roads, bridges and franchises—Wells, Roeth and Mitchell. Hospital—Church, Mitchell and Wells. Next Monday the board will meet and | it Is expected that all the uncertainty re- garding the appointments at the County Intirmary, Receiving Hospital and County Jail wili be settled. It is known that some changes are to be made, though it may strike. The reports of all the county officers for December were filed, and the Treas- urer reported that he had apportioned 15 per cent of the county road and bridge fund to the credit of the general fund and the remainder among the several dis- rict road funds as follows: | ,General road fund, $421 94; Altamont, $340 39; Alvarado, $84 77; Brooklyn, $128 Decoto, $91 72; Fruitvale, $101 59; Mt.

Jerry Hunt Lost His Field in the Mud—Clarando Quite a Filly. Montgomery Unbeatable as Usual. Perhaps the most astonishing thing about the racing at Oakland yesterday was the long price laid against Rubicon. The previous effort of Lanigan's big chestnut horse was in a short six furlong scramble, and he cut a very small figure. | However, in horse racing it i{s necessary to “throw out” some trials. "The going vesterday was certainly to his liking, the track being a sea of mud. He was asked to beat Rosinante, Moringa and Frohman. The first named mare was an unknown quantity in slushy footing, and Moringa | looked the contender. As on Monday, when 12 to 1 was laid against San Venado, one stage of the betting 2% to 1 against Rubicon. way to 4 to 5. the Lanigan entry, and at once going to the front was never headed, leading Ros- inante out a couple of lengths in 1:4214. Before half the distance had been cov- ered Moringa hoisted distress signals, fin- ishing a trashy looking third. ; The other events, with Une exception, ‘were below mediocrity so far as class concerned. Martello at 10 and Stamina quoted at an equally long price were a couple of the prize winners. Rubicon ialnd Montgomery were the winning favor- es. Schreiber’s Ulm looked so nicely placed that the colt ruled a 6 to 5 choice for the mile selling run_that opened the after- noon’s sport. Bumped soon after the start, he never cut much figure. The 10 to 1 shot, Martello, ridden to good advan- | tage by little Johnny Daly, won at the end quite handily from the rank outsider, None Such. After warming up like a cyclone, P. Ryan's Cyril was sent to the front a warm favorite for the sprint next decided. He finished third.
