Citizens Protest Against Deferring the Operation of the Ten-Foot Fence Ordinance Until Next Year. AT Tax rate for all purposes, $1.127. The ordinance providing revehue for municipal purposes for the next fiscal vear was passed to print by the Super- visors at yesterday’s meeting. The orig- fnal estimate of a tax levy of $1.1383 on every $100 of a total assessed valuation of $375,000,000 was reduced by the Finance Committee to $1.127, the difference repre- senting the rate levied outside of the §1 limit to repay some $66,000 of protested taxes, which rate has since declared to be the Supreme Court. It was pointed out by The Call last week that the charter contained no provision permitting the levying' of a tax to repay these moneys and the committee showed that it felt the force of the argument by eliminating the item from the levy. These taxes will be repaid only after a judg- | ment has been obtalned against the city. The various funds are apportioned as fol- low. General fund School .

Repayment of Protested Taxes. The following communication was re cefved from the Assessor: A study of the assessment roll as made to date enables me to assure your honorable body that sufficlent new personal property will be assessed this year to provide for the repayment | of protested taxes amounting to about $42,000 in addition to current expenses and keep Within the §1 limit, as provided by the charter. This | would necessitate the addition of over $4,000,000 to the estimated tax roll of $§375,000,000, which 1 now feel assured will be possible. To Insure Public Improvements. The following resolution was adopted without any comment: Resolved, That a committee be appointed by bis Honor the Mayor to draft amendments to | the charter of the city and county of San Francisco for the purpose of reducing the ex- penses of administration, and to that end the committée is directed to make a maximum | limit beyond which salaries cannot be raised, and a maximum limit beyond which the num- ber of places cannot be increased; and they are further directed to provide a particular fund, | to be designated ‘“The Public Improvement which shall be devoted exclusively to the making of public improvements as dis- tinguished from the payment of which said fund shall not be less than $3 per annum; also to report on whatever other amendments to the charter may in their judg- ment seem requisite. To Limit Height of Fences. Action on_the ordinance limiting the height of advertising fences to ten feet and to be in full force and effect on July 1, 1901, was postponed for ome week on decount of incorrect advertising. The Mayor was of the opinion that the official paper should be called to account for the error. He sald that if the ordinance had een invalidated by the insufficient publication “Something should be done to stop | further errors in this connection,” #ail | his_Honor. “Considerable interest at- taches to this measure and I do not know but the beneficiaries might have appealed to_the paper.” The following protest against the final passage of the ordinance was read and referred to the Street Committee: We, the undersigned citizens, residents and tax- payers of the city and county of San Franctsco, desire respectfully to call the attention of your honorable body to the fact that the ordinance limiting the helght of advertising fences now pending before you will not in our opinion ac- complish the purpose intended if finally passed in its present condition. The sald ordinance, according to section 7, 15 to take effect on July 1, 1901. In the meantime its operation is sus- | pended. The owners of twenty and thirty foot | advertising fences may, theérefore, continue | during the coming year to make contracts for the use of thelr fences at will. In June, 1901, they may without violating the law enter Into contracts which will extend over any numaber of years thercafter. In fact, as the ordinance is proposed to be passed its whole intent and pur- poses may in this way be defeated as to every advertising fence now in existence or which may be erected during the year. We also respectfully call attention to the fact that cn going into effect on July 1, 1601, this ordinance cannot interfere with any contract for udvertising on these fences valid at the time of execution, for they will be valid after the ordinance becomes an effective law. As_citizens and taxpayers we are interested in the regulation of these advertising fences. We therefore respect{ully protest asainst the passage of any ordinance which does not make 2 decided beginning in curtailing them. No legislation at all would be preferable to this ordinance, because in the absence of action the subject would be left cpen for further agitation and adjustment. We do not think your honor- able body should pass any ordinance which will damage any of the billposting firms now doing business in this city, but advertising fences should be regulated, and it it is advisable to extend the time on those now In existence the ordinance should declare in terms that no con- trac:.entered into between now and July 1, 1901, shall be valid if extended beyond that date. And your petitioners will ever pray. C. D. Salfield, president Panhandle and Ash- bury Helghts Improvement Club; Joseph Scheerer, R. Keller, 1. Schwartz, John Rafferty, W. A. Asmussen, Philip S.

Brandenstein presented an ordinance limiting the height of fences, of whatever character, to twenty feet. The ordinance is framed to go into effect immediately, and shall be rescinded when the ordinance limiting them to ten feet becomes a law, on July 1, 191 Brandenstein explained that as the order limiting the height of fences to ten feet would not go into effect until July 1, 1901, it would be wise to have an ordinance lim- iting them to some designated height. ““Tnis ordinance,” he said, “is aimed at all fences used for other purposes as well as advertising. It is especially designed to prevent the maintenance of ‘spite fences,” particularly the fence on -the Crocker lot, on Sacramento street. which is an eyesore to the community. We have no ordinance regulating the height of fences at present, and 1 deem it advisable to have gne on the statute books. The Maror stated that the board had set its seal of approval 6n ten-foot fences, and the billposters had agreed to ablde by the order and remove the higher fences as _soon as it went into effect. The order was referred to the joint Com- mittee on Judiciary and Streets. ¥ Hospital on Almshouse Tract.

Various License Taxes Imposed. Consideration of the bill imposing a heavy graduated license tax on banks and similar institutions, which was passed to print at. the last meeting, was deferred one week. Tobin stated that the Bank of California paid $3600 a year in license taxes to the State, and it had filed a petition re. queeting to be heard before the bill finally passed. The ordinance was re- committed to the Committee on Licenses | and Orders. The ordinance imposing a license tax on keepers of billlard and pool tables of 36 per annum on each table maintained was referred again to the committee. Comte said that certain provisions of the ordinance would work an injustice, Miscellaneous Business. The ordinance granting permission to William F. Nolte to kill migratory birds in the city and county limits was finally passed. The Auditor was authorized to appoint fourteen extra clerks for a period of ten days commencing June 25, 190, at a per diem of $3 33 1-3. The ordinance imposing a license tax on special privileges causing encroach- ments on streets and sidewalks was in- definitely postponed. The ordinances imposing licenses on boats, on restaurants where liquors are sold, on hotels, boarding-houses, caterers, house-movers 'and owners of baseball grounds were finally passed. An ordinance granting permission to the | Real Estate and Development Company to construct a spur track on Mississippi street was passed to'print. The specifications for the contracts to be awarded for public lighting for the next fiscal year were adopted after a long dis- cussion, which was participated by Reed and Brandenstein. Referred to Committees. The following petitions, protests and commu- nications were referred to committees: San Francisco Special Messenger Service, for permission. to erect and mamtain overhead wires; North Central Improvement Assocla- tion, requesting that the Hall of Justice be ac cepted and occupied at once, and that the various claims against the building be adjudi- cated later; Bank of California, for hearing on the bill imposing a license on banks; Fair- mount and Glen Park Improvement Club, for the recession of all existing permits for grad- ing, sewering and macadamizing Arlington street, from Miguel to Natuck; Joshua Hendy Machine Works, for permission to lay a spur track on Kearny street, from the Belt-Railroad to their works at Kearny, Bay and Francisc ftreets; citizens, members and officers of Im- provement clubs, for the regulatjon of high advertising fences: Precita Valley Improvement Club, against ynnecessary delay in abating the | unsanitary condition of Bryant street, between Twenty-sixth and Army: North Central Im- provement Association, against any action in any way preventing the occupation of the Hall of Justice by all criminal courts previously desigrated to occupy it; A.

AUDITOR WILL NOT CONSENT TO AN APPEAL Explains Why He Will Accept as| 1236 Final Judge Seawell’s Decision on St. Mary’s Park Fund. Auditor Wells yesterday declined to con- sent to an appeal from Judge Seawcll's | Mary's Park fund of | decision that St. $125,000 may be used to pay other claims against the city. In a communication to | jent chance for c ents to give thef | figures, = 215 C: . Co the Board of Supervisors the Auditor says; In ‘answer to the request of associate coun- sel In the suit of Patek against Wells to appeal from Judge Seawell's decision adversely to the St. Mary's Park fund, T have to say that I de- cline to do so for the following reasons: The Grand Jury recommends that the St. Mary's Park fund be used to bridge over de- ficits if available. The Mayor's attorney, well as my own attorney, advise me that in their opinion the judgment of the court is sound and would be sustained by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, - the Mayor and the Finance Committes of the Supervisors advise that it would be Inexpedient to appeal. ‘ At a conference of the Mayor and Au- ditor and Finance Commitiee it was agreed that as the !upg"es for the pub- li¢ institutions must e provided and would not be furnished by contracts or credit it would be inexpedient to invite de- lay, which an appeal would necessitate. The city officlals present at the confer- ence expressed themselves as convinced that Judge Seawell's judgment is sound law. ———— Oh all the Pullman cars Jesse Moore “AA™ whiskey is o be bad. ————— Would Pay No More to Batemans.
