» THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, FRIDAY, MAY 12 1899. 5 FOLLOWERS OF D. M. BURNS NAMED FOR OFFICE BY GAGE Pierce of Yolo and Leavitt of Alameda for State Normal School Board. OVERNOR GAGE has made another batch of appointments in which there is a sprinkling of touts and politicians of a cloudy record. It is now obvious that he has fully made up his mind to ignore the clean and reputable men of the commonwealth and bring to the front second and third raters in the following of Dan Burns. Paris Kilburn was the first of the Burns gang to be rewarded. Subsequently the office of secretary of the Pilot Commission was given to Eddie Conroy, the confidential clerk of Burns.

Gage's idea of how a Normal School should be managed is made known in some of his se- 1s. For example, Frank \W. Leavitt of Oakland, whose connection with the racetrack as lisher is well known, has been selected as a trustee of San Jose State Normal rns on every ballot. George W. Pierce of Yolo, who was censured by Burns in nomination, has also been selected to assist in governing the € programme pt School He votec his constituents fo ernor Gage this evening made the following appointments: Trustees of the San »oney, for four vears: H.

If ore were to go to the office of either | of the companies comprising the monop- | oly and ask for a statement showing the | cost of the manufacture of gas he would be overwhelmed with figures—the com- | pany’s figures, ready at hand and passed | out to Supervi and other inquirers whenever called for—showing that $1 7 | a thousand barely covers the cost of man- | ufacture and distribution, ving just sufficlent surplus to pay interest on its stock. And every officer and employe of the company would willingly furnish an affidavit as to the correctnes | ures, too. But the companies have other | figures bearing on the same subject which ).’;rr not given to the public, and are not intended for any e but their own. | These figures tell a far different story. | | | Here is the substance of a report turned nies forming by an employ It is not necessary to say how the report reached Im» outside, for it was obviously intended for nobody but the heads of the corpora- | tion; it is only sufficient to state that the in to one of the local comp the monopoly | figures given give the top prices of ma- | terials, and can be scaled in some re- | spects, notably for petroleum, materially. | First, however, it may be well to give an idea of the process used in_the manufac- ture of gas In this city. Five galions of Jetroleum distilled (the residue of petro- oum after extracting the lighter fluids, such as gasoline, benzine, etc., all of which constitute a sou of revenue) will make with superheated steam 1000 t feet of ga A charge of 323 pounds of | coal is placed in the retort and burned | for ten minut until the retort has at- | tained 1000 degrees or more of heat, then %0 gallons of distillate, a spray of super- | heated steam, are injected into the retort | for ten minutes. The gas then passes on to the purifier, through the usual process to the gas holders ready for use.

On a basis of five gallons of pe- troleu or 1000 feet of gas (and this is ate of the gas compa cial) it requires 000 gallons to make 1,000,000 | feet, which at 5 cents a gallon (the cost glven) amounts to $250 But the cost is varfously estimated by others at 1l to 4 cents a would materially | reduce the gas man's estimate.

The company manufactures about 120,000 feet a day. To this the company would add office expen in- cluding eighteen collectors, six meter men and twelve members of the office force. The cost of delivering gas is 10 cents per | 1000 £ although the monopoly in its public statements gives the cost at 5 | cents. One million amounts to § ciest of fanc eet of gas at 8175 . while allowing alaries for the o e re fore collectors and metermen and i) cents for delivery, would not bring the total cost of manufacture up to more than § which leaves a net profit to the compa of $1000 on every 1000000 feet of ga Twelve hundred ~ doilars even 4§13 profit would be nearer correct if the exact figures for the latter expenses could be got at.

Shaig | Preparations Made for the First Pri- mary to Be Held in San Fran- cisco Under the New Law. gt The Committee of One Hundred which led the Democrats of San Francisco to overwhelming defeat in the political cam- paign last fall is still recognized as the Democratic governing body of San Fran- cisco. The executive committee of the | Democratic State Central Committee at a | meeting yvesterday directed that the One | Hundred should not, at the approaching | primary election, deprive the voters in the | separate districts and precincts of the right to nominate and elect their own rep- resentatives. The session of the executive committee at the California Hotel yesterday after- noon was not in any sense exciting. Chair- man Seth Mann addressed the assembled party leaders and to his words Mayor Phe- lan, R. M. Fitzgerald, A. Caminetti, C. O. | Dunbar and J. C. Gallagher listened. The Mayor held the proxies of Wright and Seawell, and the chairman reinforced | by a proxy or two. The chairman did not endeavor to darken wisdom with a multitude of words. He made the point clear to his Democratic brethren that he recognized the Committee of One Hun- dred as the governing body of the loc | Democrats. He maintained that it was fmportant that the One Hundred should be advised that districts and precincts were entitled to vote for delegates under the new primary law. He did not com- mend the plan of State committee inter- terence in local affairs and recognized the fact that such interference dia not pro- mote pArty SUCcess. Mr. Gallagher moved that a committee of three be appointed to consider the sub- ject of apportionment, When Mr. Galla- gher made the motion he did not under- stand that Mr. Fitzgerald had a cut and dried of resolutions to follow Mr. Mann's convincing address. When he saw that hi motion was not seconded he erceived his mistake and refrained from urther exhibitions of premature zeal. Mr. Fitzgerald then introduced the following: Whereas, The Democratic party in San Fran- cisco is now entering upon a municipal cam- paign of vast importance to the Democrats of &an Francisco and of the State at large; and Whereas, We now have upon the statute books of the State a primary law whose funda- mental principle is that the will of the people should be ascertained by primary elections separately held in small political subdivisions and conducted under the forms and safeguards of law; and Whereas, Local government is best preserved, the will of the people most easily determined and Democratic principles best maintained when the vote of the people is registered and cast in the smallest political divisions which | At pe expediently and conveniently made; and Whereas, The custom, of late years too preva- lent, of ruling the Democratic party of San Frahcisco through the highest governing body of the party in the State, has not prevented factional disruption and internecine strife; and ‘Whereas, Such interference 1s only to be Justified as a last resort, when all other meas- ures have failed; and Whereas, In the last campaign the methods that were pursued culminated in the appeal of the Hon, Francis J. Heney denying the legality of the last municipal convention of 100, and the resolution before this body of the Hon. | M. F. Tarpey, denying the legal right of the | committee of one hundred to exist; and Whereas, It is commonly reported that it is proposed to apportion at large the delegates for the municipal convention to b voted for at the coming primary election and to have a small number of delegates and thus tend to de. | prive the voters in the separate districts and | precincts of the right to nominate and elect their own representatives; and Whereas, If such a plan were liable to be consummated it would be the imperative duty of the State Central Committee, having at heart the best interests of the party, to tuke | such steps as would in its Judgment give a fair | representation. Resolved, at we, the Executive Committee | of the Démocratic ‘State Central Committee, | direct the committee of one hundred of the city and county of San Francisco that Demo- eratic success in the coming municipal aign in San Francisco can be best secured by | fixing the number of delegates to the coming | municipal convention at a number large encugh to be demacratic and representative of the party in each district of the city, and by ap- | portioning the delegates by districts or pre- cincts i such a manner that voters shall vote at the primaries to be held under the present law for delegates from their own precincts or | Assembly Districts; and R this committee dismiss the the Tarpey resolution at coples of these resolutions he to the chairman and secretary re- | | spectively of the committes of one hundred. n had not previously spoken on 3 moved that the resclutions be copied and a copy be transmitted to each member of the State Central Com- mittee. The chairman reminded Mr. that the last 3 ment was July 8. Mr. Caminetti spoke ag: his customary fluency a few words. He said: and made a muddle. Let us stop all in- terference. If we must interfere, let interfere to some purpose. Let us strike out the word ‘advise’ and insert the word ‘direct.” Let us direct the Committee of One Hundred to provide for precinct ap- portionment.” Mavor Phelan remarked that no one, advocated a blanket ticket. * cor,” said the Mayor, “of district representation, but I am ¢ for filing the apportion- ain, and acquired fter he uttered “We interfered in the resou- he committee decided by a vote of & sct the Committee of One *un- vor Phelan voted in the negative, | but did not vote his proxies on that propo- sition.

The demand for building lots in Rich- mond within the past few years has been the means of extending improvements to outside territory. Twelfth avenue, that a short period ago was considered in the wilderness, is now being put in condition for residence purposes. A contract has been let to Felix sfcHugh to put in a sewer on this avenue between Clement ind California. The same contractor has he macadamizing of tween (' and D streets, as also the plac ing of a wer in C street etween Sev- enth and Eighth, together with a number of smaller’ contracts on street crossings, where corner buildings are about to be erected. The proposed northern extension of Golden Gate Park, taking in a strip of one tier of blocks between Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues, has given an im- petus to owners of property in the near vicinity of this place 1o put the same in building condition. President George R. Fletcher of the Point Lobos Improvement Club has suc- ceeded in convincing the Park Comm sioners of the necessity that exists for an opening Into the park at the junction of First avenue and Fulton street. The Commissioners have given Super- intendent McLaren instructions to make an opening at this place as soon as he can get his men and teams at work. The increase of children attending the public school in this district has made it necessary for the improvement club to re- quest the erection of a larger building than the one now in use, which is over- crowded and i1l adapted for the number of children who attend it. —————————— An 0Old Lady Disappears.
