There have been persistent rumors of a marriage of the young couple for the last three months, but this is denied by both parties as well as by their NOPOLY STILL TO EXACT NICKELS ‘Supervisors Vote Down Order Re- quiring Telephone Switch Before Paying. UPERVISOR McCARTHY made an | cided that the ordinance w: over an hour's discussion, participated in | by McCarthy and Reed on the one side and John L Sabin, president of the Pacific Telephone Company, on the other, and after three votes had been taken on the measure, that it was defeated. Those who voted to relieve a long-suffering public from the exasperating service to which it has long been subjected were: | Booth, Comte, D'Ancona, Hotaling, Ma- guire, McCarthy, Reed and Tobin. The noes were Boxton, Brandenstein, Connor, Curtis, Dwyer, Helms, Jennings and San- derson. The vote stood eight to eight, Duboce and Fontana being absent. Bran- denstein, however, gave notice of recon- sideration, saying that he desired the matter thoroughly gone into, and request- ing the presence of the representatives of the telephone company, City Engineer Grunsky and Chief Electrician Hewitt at the next meeting. When the measure was first taken up Connor said that he was opposed to the order because he considered it a great in- justice to the telephone company. Mc- Carthy replled that the order would work no hardship and wouid only necessitate the employment of a few more operator: ““The telephone company,” sald McCar- thy, “has over 15,000 subscribers and charges outrageous rents for its machines. The people, who are the main sufferers, expect this ordinance to pa: and if it does not it will be a disappointment to many thousands who are asking for re- President Sabin then read a long com- munication in which he represented that the provisions of the order could not be carried out without doubling the number of operators. He contended that it would be an injustice to the party called for to subject the calling party to the delay in exacting_the nigkel after connection was made. He prol would do one of three things in case the party could not be raised—to call up the number at intervals during twenty-four hours, to secure another number or to credit the caller with a nickel on the | books. He said that it was on the strength of these representations that the Mayor had vetoed the former order passed by the last board. Reed then asked Sabin how much it would cost_to comply with the order, and he replied $75,000 per vear. “Are you willing to teil us the gross or net profits of your concern?” said Reed, and Sabin answered that he could not tell. Reed suggested that it might be $1,000,000 {and McCarthy sald that Mr. Lehigh of the company had stated that 80,000 switches a day were given, which, at 5 cents each, would reach the enormous to- tal income of $1,500,000 a year. To this Sabin said that Lehigh 2id not know what he was talking about, and neither did Su- perintendent Glass when he said that it would take 600 extra operators if the or- der became a law. “What proportion of the total expenses is that $75,000?" ventured Reed, who be- lleves in municipal ownership of tele- phones. 17 “I will have to consult my attorney replied Sabin, who by this time had come thoroughly warmed up. Brandenstein moved to postpone consid- eration, which was lost by a vote of § to 7. the Mayor holding that the charter re- quired a majnrl(iy vote of ten. Branden- stein then appeaied from the Mayor's de- ciston, and caused some amusement when he took his stand behind Cushing’s Man- ual, which he seemed to regard as supe- rior to the charter. The ruling of the chair was sustained, however, only Brandenstein, Curtis and Dwyer voting no. Another motion to defer action for two weeks was lost by the same vote as the other; on final gassage the measure was defeated, and then Brandenstein's notice to reconsider prevailed. City Attorney Lane filed an opinion re- garding the b"l-posuns ordinances. the four bills submitted he selected the | longest and most comprehensive and dis- cussed it in_sections. With regard to section 1, which prohibits the mainte- nance of a fence or building over ten feet in height for the purpose of painting thereon any s or advertising or posting thereon any bills, signs, etc.. for adver- tising purposes, Mr. Lane holds that there is now an ordinance covering substantial- Iy the same ground. He says that several vears ago the validity of this ordinance was contested by_the California Aflusnu Company before Judge Seawell, who de- | | | ised that the company | | | | | | i | fering with proper fire regulations in | vertisements, unless owned by a storekeeper or | son doing business | or unusual costume or dress, or by playing on | such as ordinarily and |4 and 3 3 3 8, : % i % 3 MERRILL | | 2 riends of both parties have known of se. . where he occuples as been promi- the She is a young woman | | [ | [ \ Her handsome figure, pret- favorite. The surprise but this 3 ; g 2 ; ; : i s i | « discrimina-~ tory and invalid. Judge Seawell held in that that an ordinance which dis criminated between the height of fences erected “for advertising purposes” and other fences was invalid as a police regu- lation, there being no sufficient ground for such distinction. There Is nothing es sentially unhealthful, nor is there any thing necessarily objectionable as inter a is erected or maintained for advertising purposes. fence simply because it “Inasmuch as the bill under considera- tlon,” says the opirion, “‘purports by its title to regulate advertising any ordinance that you may pass directed at the height of fences alone should be by separate | Section 3 of the ordinance, which pro- v that “where permission is given by the Board of Supervisors or Hoard of Works to erect obstructions of any char- acter on the streets it shall be unlawful to paint, paste or write any bill, notice or announcement or any advertising device 15 held to be valid by the City Attorne He says that it is competent for the board in granting such permits to attach any reasonable condition_thereto. ection 3 is in the followin ¥ It shall he unlawful for any |x§rnl“vanr.|g(-‘:‘l?nglg}1)‘ or corporation to drive or cause to be driven on the streets of the city and county of San Francisco, any wagon or vehicle carrying ad- | other person doirg business in the city and County’ of San Francisco at a fixed piace o business, and used for the regular delivery of Roods s0ld by said storekeeper, or other per- as aforesaid; to propel any street care on the streets of the clty and county of San Francisco, having advertise- ments printed, pasted or painted cn the out- side of the sald cars: to appear on the streef of the city and county of San Francisco carry- ing banners, or boards, or placards contalning advertising matter; to. apvear or walk on the streets of the city and county of San Fran- cisco, attracting or attempting to attract at- tention to advertising matter by extraordinary musical instruments or by making any unusual Totse, ‘‘Probably the most practical way dealing with the matters embraced I?l’th‘i’; i section is by Fermll to be issued by the Board of Public Works under a general ordinance of the Supervisors. The charter provides that the Board of Public Works shall have charge, superintendence and control, under the ordinances of the Board of Supervisors, of all public streets and of their use, and shall have exclusive authority to grant permits for the using of the street “for any purpose other nmni properly b to the public from the dr-dh'ullnbn t;leorlégsf to public use.” The use of the streets for advertising purposes is an extraordinary use, not one such as ordinarily belongs to the public. The Board of Supervisors may therefore pass ordinances regulating the use of the streets ‘for advertising pur- poses,’ the streets being completely with- in ?ubh(‘ control and the object of their dedication being primarily for purposes of travel and personal passage. The Board | of Bupervisors may deny altogether the right to use the street in such manner as to congest traffic or make passage thereon dangerous. And to this end may prohibit the use of the street to advertising schemes and devices, such as the section indicates. Whether the ordinance so pro- vides or not, it is to me plain that no business house can be deprived of the right to place !ts name and place of busi- ness, or other identifying mark, upon its wagon or carriage, but this would not in my judgment be using the street for ad- vertising purposes.” The section prohibiting the distribution of any handbills or dodgers on the streets, or the maintenance of any signs upon the streets or sidewalks, or any electrical sign, Is held to be vaild. The opinion concludes: By way of recapitulation, I would say as section 1 of the form proposed_has ;Tr’tutuhl‘; been passed upon adversely by Judge Seawell in the case mentioned and also by the Supreme Court of another State, it is undesirable in its present form. I have no doubt. however, that such matters re really objectionable in that connection are correctable by ordinance in proper form. As to section 3, the only brac- tical way to accomplish your purposes, so far as I can see, Is by permit. As to sections 2, T am of the opinion that the form thereof Is sufficlent as submitted. McCarthY introduced a resolution calling the attention of the Tax Collector to the fact that the statute imposing a license of $100 per month on quack doctors had never been enforced. and directing him to carry out the xi)(roviilunu of the section in point. The ‘“fake practitioners” came in for a severe scoring from Boxton, who was prompted by the application of a dental concern to operate a sign in front of its place of business, which was denfed. The llectlon to which McCarthy referred fol- ows: Sec. 12. Any itinerant vender who shall sell or offer for sale any drug, nostrum, ointment or appliance of any kind intended for the treat- ment of disease or injury, or any person who shall, by writing or printing or by any other method publicly profess to cure or treat dis- case, injury or deformity by any medicine, druf or drugs, mostrum or mantpulation or ADVERTISEMENTS.
