When questioned concerning the value of the estate left by his brother Alex- ander, James Dunsmuir said that it was far over the million mark, but just how far he was not inclined to divulge at the present time. He further stated that this fortune will not go to the widow. If such is the case the other relatives of the dead man will prob- ably divide it among them.

Ames. Mayor Phelan upon knowing why it is that the water company demands interest upon property which is not in use and may never be in use by the company. Mr or replied that in some in- stances the company did not expect ever to use certain lands and was willing that the cost price should be deducted, but it bappened that this cost price is very emall and will not materially affect the problem of water rates. In other cases Yhe water company has purchased prop- erty now in use for the simple rea- son that the property could be bought cheaply nd warranted an expenditure now her than later, when a great deal of money would be required. The prop- erty thus purchased will in time be put to use. In expectation of a greater demand the company therefore has taken pre- liminary precautions. The problem of water supply also formed an interesting phase of the in- quiry, the wi sses declaring that not- withstanding nearly three dry seasons the company has now a two years’ supply on hand. The consumption of water is in- creasing, but the natural supplies of the Jeninsula have not yet been exhausted. In 595 the daily consumption of water in San Francisco was 2 00 gallons. In 189 the consumption was 2,000,000 galions a day. The financial phases of the company’s affairs also engaged attention, the Mayor attempting to prove that the annual in- vestigations made by the Supervisors do not have a demoralizing effect upon the stock of the corporation. Mr. Schussler was inclined to believe that the manner of the investigations had a bad effect, but the general results did not. The stock is now selling lower than it has before in many years, but Secretary Ames leans to The opfnton that this is due to politics. He was not ready to admit the suggestion of the Mayor that Democratic politics was at fault In Aiscussing the cost of material Mr. Schussier made the startling assertion that owing to the advance in the price of iron the pipe system of the company s 1 f | time now worth a million dollars more than it was before the rise.
