The order of the board has increased the number of grammar classes in that school to eleven Which leaves but three classromms to be devoted to primary pupils. Heretofore there were six primary classes and the change will compel about 1% children of 6, 7 and 8 years to seek other schools. It will force them to attend the Emerson School, which is a mile away, and the parents claim this is an injust Most of the primary pupils who have been ad- | mitted to the Grant School also have long i distances to traverse and their parents have also joined in the wrath that has fallen on the Board of Education. 3 Superintendent Webster's attention has been called to the congestion of pupils notably in the Crocker,. Richmond and Hawthorne schools, and he will call the board’s :nlg‘nllon to the fact at its meet- Ing next Wednesday.

SCHOOL BOARD MAY MAKE ITS OWN REPAIRS Assumes Charge of Them With the Approval of Public Works Board. The Board of Public Works has sent a communication to Chairman Mark of the Board of Education regarding the actlon of the latter body in making repairs to schoolhouses. In the communication Mark informed that a8 the Board of Super- visors in allotting funds for the services of the several departments of the city government did not place the money set apart for repairs for school buildings un- der the charge of the Board of Works and did fylm'v this money under the con- trol of the Board of Education, the for- mer board has no official concern with the | repdirs. | Chairman Mark says the precise char- { acter and urgency understood by his board, which as- sumed charge of the same with the a proval of the Board of Works. The Audi tor says he will sign the demands for re- pairs on this showing. 'WHAT IT COST TO WATCH HEALTH OF THE CITY | Secretary Brown Files His Eeport‘ | Showing Expenditures for | Two Years.

L Eastern Markets Demand the Golden State’s Product Becauss It Is Better Than Can Be Pro- duced Elsewhere. PR A new industry has been launched in ! California, and by the manner in which it is developing in the first year of its | existence it promises to become an im- | portant wealth producer. Asparagus is | the product, and the center of the in-| dustry is Bouldin Island in the San Joa- | noisy, but it becomes particularly prom- | | inent by reason of the fact that to-mor- | row there will be dispatched a special train loaded with canned asparagus, | bound for New York City. The train will | consist of sixteen cars containing nine thousard cases, constituting a portion of | this season’s crop. | Experiment has disclosed the fact that | California_could produce a quality of the | | luscious vegetable that could not _be | equaled in the Eastern gardens, and it | was soon found that there was a good demand for the California product. The ‘lcmv\rprlse was therefore started on a | son’ will be about a hundred carloads. vear it is intended that the crop be double that quantity. | This is the first instance in the world | | of the shipment of a solid_trainload of | the succulent asparagus. Each car will | | be properly adcrned with banners, set- | ting forth the facts of the case and there- | by “advertising emphatically the proposi- | tion that the East depends largely on Cal- | ifornia not only for the necessities, but | | for the luxuries of life. The prospects | are that the industry will develop rap- idly, as the soil of the river bottoms and islands of the State is particularly adapt- ed_to the cultivation of the plant. | [East of Chicogo the train will go by | [ the Lake Shore Road.

GRATIFYING RESULTS OF PROGRESSIVE MANAGEMENT The Continental Building and Loan Association Demonstrates the Success of Its Methods. | NEARLY $400,000 GAINED IN ASSETS DURING THE LAST YEAR. The annual reports of the President and | Secretary of the Continental Building and | | Loan Association of San Francisco dem- | onstrate a prosperous conditjon of affairs. | The assets increased during the year from $1,321845 14 in 1599 to $1,705,657 53 in 1900, | | making a gain for the year of $383,842 39 | as against $343,598 70 increase in 1869. The | | earnings apportioned to installment stock | increased from $12 49 in 1599 to $139,- 735 80 in 1900. In addition to this there is a reserve fund of $41648 73. In six years, | inclusive of the first half only of 1900, | there have been built 696 new homes for | | the stockholders. The association has on | deposit with the California Title Insur- ance and Trust Company and Bank of California, in trust for all the members and creditors, notes and mortgages to the | amount of $1:425618 43. { _The report of the Secretary and General | Manager to the directors and stockhold- ers shows that the handling of the af- fa association has been skillful { . At the end of June, 1899, the subscribed capital was $8,428,500, rep- resenting 84,285 shares in force. On June 20, . the subscribed capital wds $10,- 326,500, Tepresenting 103,265 shares in force. | assets at the end of June, 1899, were 32 ; at the end of June, 1900, $1,- king an increase for the year | of 29 per cent in assets and 22 per cent | in shares in force. “These large accumulations,” said the General Manager and Secretary, ‘have been built up by people in the ordinary walks_of life; people who have learned | that the only way to save is to save, and | that the road to success is along the | | lines of quick and immediate action. | | Golden opportunities are nothing to the |lazy man or woman. Such people are | | never prepared for them, and should they make a show of taking advantage of them they always prove a_failure; not | because it was not a splendid chance, but | | their don’t care methods have given them | an education wholly unfitting them from | | grasping the practical side of life.” | The agency department, which is com- | posed of some of the best field men that | this or any other State affords, gave an | | exceilent account of itself last year. The | | following facts and figures are taken | from the reports. There have been made | 412 loans as against 384 for 1899. The gross | amount loaned on mortgages was $524,- 111 43_and on shares of the association $104.275 98, making a grand total of $628,- 457 41 loaned during the year. Mixed in with the statistics in the re- | port of the Secretary and General Man- | ager are some striking and valuable ut- | terances. “It is the Building Association's | mission to help men start in life by edu- cating them in the small things which make it up. When this is done the larger | | affairs will be easily taken care of. W | wish it understood that we do not believe | |in the miser. He is more of a detriment ! to himself and the community in which | | he lives than the spendthrift. Live within | your means. Strike the happy medium | and you have sounded the true chord, ihe echoes of which will be pleasant mu: | sic to all who ccme within its tones.” The gross profits during the year amounted to $139.866 55. The net amount furned into profits of the members for | the year amounted to $95.24 58. Dividends | ! were 5 per cent per annum on ordinary | deposits, 6 per cent on term deposits, 10 | per cent to Class “E" stoc per cent to | Class “A” stock. To Cla: *“stock a_ 10 | per cent dividend was added. but besides | that there was saved $4382 72, which wiil make the actual profit to Class “T" about 15 per cent per annum.

Commissioners Maguire and Manson of the Board of Public Works, City Engineer Grunsky, Supervisor McCarthy and Chief Engineer Howard Holmes of the Harbor | Commissioners concluded their investiga- tions yesterday M connection with the proposed improvement on the city's prop- erty at the foot of Spear street. The re- sult of a conference on the subject will be | of Public Works to construct a plank roadway at a cost of about $7000 will be carried out. Supervisor McCarthy inter- posed some objection to the plan, as he favored a permanent wharf and stone bulkhead, so that repairs would be re- duced to a minimum in the future. It was demonstrated to McCarthy's satisfaction that the large expenditufe entailed by filling in the bay along the shore would be iil advised, as the permanent water front line has not been yet determined. 1t may ultimately be decided that the alignment shall be about 200 feet to. the west of the present survey. The State will build a bulkhead in the near future, | and if the city should bufld a stone bulk- head in advance it would be of no use whatever. Besides it will cost the city | over $12,000 to fill inside the bulkhead, and the committee decided that it would be a useless expenditure of money. The plank roadway is expected to last ten years, and in the meantime plans will be formulated for a permanent roadway. | Superintendent of Buildings Barnett filed | a report with the board yesterday on the | operations of his department for six | months. Attention is called to the dilap- idated and fiithy condition of the City Hall. Every closet where dirt, ashes and rubbish could be stored was filled to over- flowing. Over three hundred cartloads of refuse had been removed from the building. The sub-basement was so filled as to endanger the health of persons com- pelled to pass through it. The wood- work in all parts of the bullding was hacked and broken and the plumbing was | badly out of repair.
