Chairman Watt Declines to Agree That Gibson’s Report Bs Made Public—Changes in the Pur- chasing System. LR The investigation into the affairs of the | electrical department of the city has been | postponed again and it is now set for | next Friday. The report upon which the | Investigation will be based is still under | lock and key and Commissioner Mahoney, | who is responsible for it v$ he cannot give it out unles > consent of | the other Commis . or, at least, that | of Rolla V. Watt, the chairman of the joint commission. Mr. Watt declines to agree to the publication of the report, | nor will he admit that there is such a re- port in existence. Mr. Watt denied yesterday that the joint commission had anything to do with the employment of a detective. Mr. Ma- | honey says it was don= without the knowl- | edge of the Police Commission and that be only found that there was a detectiv Investigating the affuirs of the electrical rtment when ne ran across Gibson's | trail when he was looking over the de- | partment hims The detective was working, however, and bis report has been | in_the "hands of the Commissioners for some time.

That the purchasing of materia not been altogether satisfactory to the board is shown by the fact that the | method of making purchases for the de- | | partment has been changed recently, the change taking the actual purchase of ‘sup- glles out of the hands of the superinten- ent and lodging it in the hands of the | secretary of the joint commission, which, in this case, is B. L. Cadwallader, ge tary of the Police Commission. The tem introduced is that in vogue in Fire Department. In the Fire Department the requisitions | for supplies are made out by the various assistant chiefs and these are sent to | the secretary. He takes them to at least three merchants and secures bids on | them, the lowest of which he accepts. | | Then the requisition is fled out and the | supplies are accepted and passed by the | chiefs making the original requisition. | This same system will be introduced in | the Electrical Pepartment in place of the | 0ld one, which allowed the superintendent :n m::‘ke‘ r«-h'..nqln.mni take the requisition | 0 whom he pleased anc supplies himself. nC e tiay the e matter of the poles and that tappers are the most serfous Hewi have to face.

A S The retaining of George Knight to use his personal political influence at Wash- ington to have the per fiem of guarding Inspectors increased, as detailed exclu- sively in yesterday’s Issue of the Call, was the prominent tople of conversation in Custom-house circles during the day. Outside of the seventy-four guarding in- spectors immediately interested in his ston, no one at all conversant with the facts believed that Mr. Knight would suc- ceed. Port Collector Jacksog said that in all probability the Secretary of the Treasury would refer the matter to him for his opinion and report and that Be would not | hesitate to report unfavorably. Discharg- ing inspectors were paid $4 per.day, he said, because work of a_clerical nature was required, and their du were of.a :ry responsible and fidiclary character. Three dollars per dfem for the night in- spectors, who simply acted as watchmen, he considered a fair compensation, being one dollar more than was received by pri- vate watchmen on the water front. The Collector said further that if the per diem of the night or guarding inspectors should be raised in this port there would be a demand for a similar increase in every port in the United States. Customs Surveyor Spear expressed him- If as opposed to the proposition for sim- ilar reasons £ 2 no objection to Mr. Knight earning. $6000 or $4000," he said, d am glad that he received $3 from the P s a good fellow and well worth the money if he can earn it. on, for he But T don’t think he will. Of course among the guarding inspectors there are some men equally competent to act as discharging inspectors, but these are pro- moted whenever an opportunity offers. In the meantime they are not calied upon to do any clerical or re: ble work."” PACIFIC AND ALAMEDA CRICKET TEAMS TO MEET Country Clubs Will Visit the Local Cricketers for a Series of Matches. To-morrow on the Webster-street grounds, Alameda, the Pacific and Ala- meda teams will meet for the fourth time during the present season. The Pacific team will be made up as follows: H. C. Cassidy, captain; J. Myers, C. P. Coles, George Theobald, J. J. Theobald, A, W. Wilding, A. B. Willis, D. Jamleson, W. Jamieson, W. Henderson, L. H. Sandi- lands or W. McDonald. The Alameda rep- resentatives will be R. B. Hogue, J. H. Saunders, H. Ward Jr., F. Croll, V. See- beck, B. Bird, W. G. Fortman, G. J. | Baugh, F. Stahl, P. E. McLean and W. | Richter. | The Santa Cruz Country Club wishes to visit San Francisco next month and to play return matches against the Pacifics on the Sth, against the Alamedas on the 9th and against the Californias on the 10th. As this is the time at which t combined city team visits Lake Count there may be some difficulty in getting full teams in San Francisco at that time. The Santa Cruz Country Club members say that September 8, 9 and 10 are the only days on which they can make up a team to visit San Francisco. Earlier in the season the Santa Cruzans wrote to the secretary of the association, enclos- | ing letters to the secretaries of the Ala- | meda, Pacific and California clubs, ask- | | | | | ing for these dates. he assoc fon, however, was pledged to send a team u to Lake County during the season an the Admission day holidays proved th only time at which this could be done.
