TS INTHEFINISH Colleges Only to Take the Ex- aminations Which Should Be Open to All — The provision of the charter regardi g and County Hospital has been violated by the local Board of Health, which has used palpable discrimination in making selections. The charter provision provid- ing for the selection of internes reads as follows: The board may appoint such undergraduates and other internes to the City and County Hos- pital as it may deem necessary. They shall be ppointed after a competitive examination by and surgery, and shall receive board and lodg- ing free for their services. They shall be under the control and direction of the resident physician, who may remove any of them for neglect of duty or for other good and suffictent Cause, subject to an appeal to and final de- | cision’ by said board. No medical colleges are excluded in this provision, vet the board recently passed a resolution dividing the applicants for THIS interneship among the medical depart- SOLID ment of the University of California, «lltlmper Medical College and the College of hy ans and Surgeons, which are at = . present represented on the visiting staff CHIFFONIER ; of the hospital. It was ordered that the | golden oak, hard applicants from the most recent gradu- ates of the colleges who might be recom- mended as eligible by the faculty thereof and who had succes:fully passed the gualifying but not competitive examina- tion prescribed by the board should be selected, the limif for each college being placed at four internes, No mention is made in the resolution of least (this ; 4 feet 7 Inches high, aches; not only prop- st made unusually smooth patent groove slide; cast brass Le M.D., is president and dean, and the Hahnemann Hospital College, a home- opathie institution, Dr. George H.

CANNOT USE THE FICESS TO HKE INPROVEMENTS Plan to Set Apart Surplus Revenue Is Not Legal Under Charter. RS Supervisors Are Powerless to Amend the Tax Budget Adopted in June. Hope for St. Mary's Park. — N The officials in the Auditor's office are | of the opinion that the resoiution intro- { duced by Reed at last Monday's meeting | nue that will result from the increase in the assessment roll be set apart as a pub- lic improvement fund is clearly illegal, as | it,is not countenanced by the charter. The same view was taken at yesterday's meeting of the Supervisors’' Finance Com- | mittee. Chief Deputy William Wells, in the ab- sence of Auditor Wells, who is on a va- cation, states that the tax budget as final- ly adopted by the Board of Supervisors on the last Monday in June contained no specific apportionment for public improve- ments, and that the board is powerless to apportion any sums in excess of the estimated revenue for any particular pur- pose without submitting the proposition to a vote of the people. Wells quotes the following two provisions of the charter to substantiate his opinfon: The surplus fund shall consist of the moneys | remaining at the end of any fiscal year in a | other funds, except the common school, library, ‘Nrk. sinking and interest funds, after all valid demands, indebtedness and liabilities against #aid funds incurred within such flscal year | have been paid; provided that all disputed or contested claims payable out of such funds | have been finally adjudicated. { "Fhe surplus fund shall be used for the pur- | poses and in the order following: In payment of any final judgment against the city and county: In liquidation and extinguishment, under such regulations as the Supervisors may adopt, of any outstanding funded debt of the | city and county. | To be carrled over and apportioned among | the funds and used in the ensuing fiscal year | as part of the income and revenue thereof. | Again the charter says: | When the Supervisors shall determine that | the public interest requires the construetion or | acquisition of any permanent municipal build- Ing or improvement the cost of which, in ad- dition to the other expenses of the city and | county, will exceed the income and revenue provided for any cne vear they must by ordi- ce passed by the affirmative vote of not than fourteen members of the board sub- mit a propositien to incur a bonded indebted- ness for such purpose to the eiectors of the city and county at a spectal election to be heid for that purpose only. | ter does_not contemplate the use of any surpius funds for improvements. It looks | as if the only result of Dodge’s increased taxation will be that the excess taxes collected thereon will be transferred to the funds of the next fiscal year to be used for the expenses of the city govern- ment during that period. Supervisor Reed has reckoned without the charter in the presentation of his res- olution. It has not been adopted, how- er, but was referred to the Finance | Committee for consideration. That body realize the mistake as it did that of ing a tax outside of the dollar limit repayment of protested taxes. climinated from the budget A similar mistake m, levy for the This item was before it was adopte was made in a resolution recently —pre- i sented directing t certain funds should | not be goverr by the dollar limit clause, | This was found to be a clear violation | | of the rter and the resolution was | withdrawr City officials say the fact that the | | money m not be made available for | | improvements sadly needed is to be de- plored. but the fact that the charter pro- + vides for the fixing of the tax levy in June, before the assessed valuation fs determined, instead of in_September, as | formerly. is the cause of the trouble. Au- ditor Wells, in preparing his estimated tax budget, based his figures on an as- | sessed valution of $400.000,000, and allowed $200,000 for public improvements inside of | the dollar limit. The Su ors cut the valuztion estimate to 337,000,000 on the declaration of Assessor Dodge that it would not be in excess of that sum. The item for public improvements epecified by the Auditor was eliminated altogether. At its meeting yesterday the Supervis ors’ Finance Committee was informed by Expert Williams that the amount of ex- | cess revenue would be only $175,000, Chair- man Jennings held that the money could be used only at the end of this fi vear | ana then only to make up a deficiency in | the funds. Should the St. Ma Park | promoters get a favorable decision in the | Supreme Court the money could be re- | covered from the city on a judgment. | _“Anyhow." said Jennings, significantly, )"v\'fl would better wait until the city is .:arnmlly in possession of the money. | BOARD OF EXAMINERS 1 RECOMMENDS RENEWALS | | Manual Training Instructor Work Must Furnish Proper Credentials to Get Certificate. | The Board of Examiners met yester- | day and recommended that the following | named be granted renewals of certificates: | Grammar grade—Miss Belle Van Viack, | Miss Margaret Ballie, Mrs. L. M. Rid- [flall and Mrs. Edith H. Lyons (nee Crow- ley). | High School—L. A. Jordan. | The apphcation of Cree T, Work, super- visor of manual training, for a high | sehool certificate was temporarily denied. | He must furnish more satisfactory cre- | dentials. The instructor presented a di | ploma from Columbia Coilege, signed by | Dean Russell. that the trustees of the ! Teachers' College had conferred on him | a testimontal for superior scnolarship and | prefessional ability in manual and education. The hoard insists that tha diploma_should be signed the ac: demic synod of Columbia College, which is an accredited institution in this State. ENTITLED TO ONLY FOUR DOLLARS POLLTAX MONEY State Must Divide Interest and Re- demption Penalties With the County. The following self-explanatory circular training State Controller Colgan: 1 recently submitted to the Attorney General | for his opinion the question of the-right of the | State to clalm and accept the entire proceeds, tax penaities and interest, of the State polltax received under redemption. Heretofore it has | been ihe rule to demand the poll of $4 and in- terest thereon at 7 per cent ‘per annum, to gether with the redemption penalties thereon. The Attorney General holds that this posi- | tion is not tenable—that the Stat® is entitled only to the poll at $4 and that the Interest and | Yedemption penalties must be distributed be- | tween the State and county in the same man- ner as interest and penalties on ad valorem taxes received under redemption. Therefore, in future, when a State poll is received under redemption, you will set aside the $4 politax and distribute the balance as above directed. ——————————— Take your Fourth of July outing on the Santa Fe new line.

The Val- ois estabiished their residence in the pal- ace; Henri IV, when fatally wounded, was | brought there to die, and Anne of Aus- tria, during the minority of her son, used | the rooms formerly occupied by Marie de Medici. Louis XIV considerably en- larged the palace, and it was under his regime, in 1665, that the architect Claude Perrault, a protege of Colbert, designed and constructed the admirable colonnade fronting on the Seine. a superb facade, 18 feet long. Charles Lebrun supervised the installation of the royal cabinet in the rooms adjacent to the gallery of Apello in 1681. The museum was officially creat- ed by a decree of the National Assembi in 1791, and to the many paintings. scul tures and other works of art which had already been accumulated in the palace were then added the scattered treasures of the nation stored in various royal resi- dences, castles and small museums he and there. From the time of Henri IV | the court painters and sculptors had lived in the Louvre; the four academies held their meetings there; the royal printing office and the royal mint were in the building: and it is only within the last hundred years that the us of the old palace, so impregnated with history. have been converted entirely and by grad grees to those of an art museum pure and simple. Vasari describes the origin of the art collection brought together by Francis I Father Dan gives a catalogue of the paintings in the palace of Fontainebleau in 1 The earliest inventory of the King's collections (the real nucleus of the present collection of paintings) g back to 1710, and was made by Bailly keeper of the paintings.

During the reign of Louis XVI many priceless works by the Dutch and Flemish masters were bought for the royal collection. Louis XVIII found the Louvre so crowded with pictures that h had about 300 of them distributed t churches and other public buildings. Fift years later a still more generous divisio was made, the galleries and storeroom being more than full.
