N'S MUNICIPAL FLAG A TAX EMBLEM PERTINENT communication was sent yesterday to the Board of Supervisors by Otto tum Suden, an attorney of this city, in which the new municipal flag adopted by Mayor Phelan comes in for much sa- tirical reference. He suggests that all flagpoles be taxed with the ex- ception of those fiying the Phelan phenix flaf. The communication says: “Permit me by way of suggestion to supply an omission in your proposed order taxing encroachments on sidewalks by means of a license tax. While you have taxed nearly everything imaginable, you have overlooked the flagstaffs. Flagstaffs obstruct the air, the dust and the wind, and where they project upon sidewalks are properly subject to a license tax. would suggest that only those flagstaffs which fly the flag of the United States be taxed, and those which patriotically fly the new municipal Phelan flag be exempt. As students of American history, you. are aware that the flag of the United States is the symbol of protest against the burdens of un- just taxation, whereas the new municipal flag is an emblem of taxes and more taxes. “It is therefore eminently just that those back numbers of our citizens who still dare to fly the flag of the United States and therefore continue to liam’ Finnigan, Charles W.

There would be no use in dis- charging a competent man, he claimed, it the appointing power could not put in his place a man he had personal reasons for %A)polmlng; and therefore the tenure of office provision, while important, was not of the first importance, and should it be thrown out should not necessarily ren- | der the whole law inoperative. ! George Lane followed his brother on the | method of remedy. He claimed that the proper remedy for such an injury as al still remains much to be said. The case before the court is on the de- murrer of the city to a petition for an in- | junction to restrain the Civil Service Com- mission from holding competitive exam- inations. Attorney P. F.

Statutss, Mr. Dunne continued, should be | dged not by what may be done under | their provisions but by what can be done, and In the section cited it was under this idea clear! lowable for the Civil Serv- fce Commission to submit but one name for the head of a department to choose from; a sort of legal gold brick or an of- fictal Hobson's cheice. In that case he claimed the appointing power was clearly the Clvil Service Commission, and the power was directly at variance with that conferred upen the heads of the depart- ments by the charter and consequently by the Legislature. McEnerney wanted to know if that con- tention did not fit with his—that the com mission had the power of removal and so brought the two together again in the manner contemplated by the Legislature, but Dunne spent no time upon the ques- two important missions. In New York on | June 6 he will be at band to furnish in- | formation to Collis P.

After the adjournment he will go immediately | to Chicago and there attend a conference | which will fix tourist travel on Southern Pacific lines for the coming year. | At this conference will be representa- | tives from the Southern Pacific Railroad, | the Western Railroad of Alabama, the | Louisville and Nashville Railroad, the | Tilinols Central, the Baltimore and Ohio | and the Southwestern Rallway.

He claimed that the proper way to es- tablish a civil service was to amend the constitution in such a way as to provide for it; but he considered the charter a legislative enactment that had no power to run at \‘arianfie with the constitutional provisions regarding the four years’ ten- ure of office and the relation of the ap- pointing and the removing power. It was well on toward dinner time when Dunne concluded, and so the case went over to 9 o'clock Monday morning. At that time Mr. McEnerney will argue in support of the civil service provisions. LATEST IMPROVEMENT IN HEART OF CITY This city is rapldly gaining a reputation, both at home and abroad, for its excellent private hotels. Travelers pronounce San Francisco the best city in the United States for good living, and the Royal now steps to the front and claims precedence over them all. The house has been en- tirely remodeled and as it now stands it is a fireproof modern building, with every added innovation suggestive of comfort. An extra story has increased the rooming capacity by fifty new apartments, with hot and cold water and electric lights in each. On the ground fl)or a new office, |- smoking and reading room have been built, together with the latest model of elevator. The ladles’ parlor is situated on the second floor and every room in the house has been renovated and newly fur- nished throughout.
