The provisions of these sections of the constitution had been adhered to in the merging of the city and the county gov- 4 ernments, and hence, he claimed, in the literal and legal sense there no longer ex- | tsted n distinct county government. Under this theory there remained no deputies, he continued, of so-called county officers whose rights are jeopardized. Neither, he sald, could the appointment of A . such deputies at the beginning of these officers’ terms be considered permanent. The temporary appointment of deputies to prevent the stoppage of public busi- ness could not be considered permanent, Mr. Lane further asserted, and such ap- pointments were made to hold only until such time as the civil service provisions of the charter became operative. Mr. Lane next attacked the actlon of ?Narlnz. claiming that it was prematura < ie suggested that the proper remedy - | would have been Instead of seekin to Possessing enjoin the Civil Service Commission fromm CHIC!

S After several unsuccessful attempts the Board of Supervisors finally met last purpose of beginning an investigation intc Valley Water Company’'s plant with a view to fixing the water rates for next year. Fourteen Supervisors were present when Mayor Phelan sur ered the chair to Supervisor Connor, chairman of the water committee. Pelham Ames, secre- tary of the corporation, was on the rapid fire of cross question his knowledge of what the various : tems controlled by the Spring Valley Water Company cost originally. But lit- tle information, however, was gleaned from Ames, as he was only the values ‘as taken from the company’s books. Ames said the first purchase of the Lake Merced property was made by the Spring Valley Water Company. in 1§76 from & con- cern known as_the Lake Merced Water Company for $150,00. The purchase com- no details of the other purchases or the names of the persons to whom the money was paid. Reed said that unless the names and amounts were forthcoming the statements made by Ames could not be verified. Ames then produced a memor- gndum showing that the cost of the Lake Merced property was as_follows: Land, $679.098 60; water rights, $150,000; pumping grounds, $359,692 48; improvements in dam and dredging canals, $346,651 27; total, §1,- 4423. No interest or repairs in the ay of maintenance were Inciuded in that sum, which rcpresented the first cost of the Lake Merced plant. period from 188§, during which he had been secretary. In 18% the improvement of the South Lake was made at a cost of $200,- 000, which resulted in a perfect drainage canal from the lake to the ocean, thus in- suring unpolluted water. Reed's persist- ent inquiry for details caused Ames to say that instead of frivolous detalls he had thought it preferable to give figures on the various items he had enumerated. Ames sald he could not inform the board as to the value of the various items in the inventory furnished by the Spring Valley Company to the Board of Public Works, as he did not have the leisure to get the information. McCarthy said that unless the cost were given the board would be unable to ascertain the value of the prop- erty. This was necessary, McCarthy said, in order to deal fairly with the company and with the consumers. Ames said that an abandoned pumping plant at Lake Merced cost $166,000, and Reed contended that this item should be stricken from the value of the plant as it Wwas not contributing to the working of the system. Ames would not answer Reed's question as to whether there was any other item Included in his estimate which was not now actually used {n the distribution of the water from the lake. Ames said that much of the machinery transferred to other localities i the sys- tem. Attorney Kellogg held that such machinery had been charged to the new localities.” Ames did not know how much land was included In the Lake Merced property. Braunhart desired to know if the com- pany could furrieh the cost of the iron ipe or of any item enumerated in the nventory. Ames sald the cost of pipe had varied and when it was bought part of it might be sent to one place and part to another. A desultory talk followed on the techni- cal difference between ‘“betterment” and I‘maintenance” when any improvements were constructed. Ames said he could not give any information as to depreclation in the plant, as no mercantile books were kept. The company, he said, did not write off anything for deterioration, though Branderstein held this to be & legitimate procedure, “"Do you mean to say that you do not provide for depreciation in your prop- erty?”’ asked McCarthy. “Why, we keep no such account,” re- plied Ames. Ames said that no money derived from the water schedule had ever gone into betterments and all the construction of the Merced system, to his best recollec- tion, had been patd for from the sale of stock or bonds. All maintenance was pald out of the money recelved from water rates. To a question of Reed, Ames said no estimate had ever been made of the real value of the Lake Merced plant used in supplying water to San Francisco nor had any valuation ever been placed on the whole system Dy the compan “I cannot tell exactly at what the com- pany values 1ts plant’ or assets,” sald Ames, “and the rate we ask for {s based on the actual requirements to pay taxes, bonds and stocks.” Attorney Kellogg then took ‘the stand and testified that the valuation on which last year’s rates were fixed was much | than the actual 5 though he admiited that no record of val uations was kept by the company. At this point Braunhart presénted the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the president and secretary of the Sprng Valley Water Company be. re. quested to certify to the board on or before December 1 the cost to the company of the several items of the property contained in an inventory of its property filed October 5, 1900, with the Board of Public Works, Reed’s motion that the company furnish at the next meeting the name of the per- son from whom the Lake Merced plant was purchased, also the purchase price and a list of the land and water rights ac- quired and the capacity of the lake, was carried. McCarthy’'s motion that the company be directed to produce at the meeting next week the original contract for building the old pumping plant at Lake Merced ‘was adopted. —_————— Write for new catalogue of watches, jewelry and silverware.

Sims, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, left yesterday afternoon for his home in Santa Rosa. During the campaign he has made @ host of friends jn San Francisco. He has shown himself to be a most affable gentleman, though somewhat lacking in prophetic insight. Before election he said the State would give Bryan 15,000 ma- jority. He missed it by only abou ,000. The Democratic headquarters at the California Hotel will be kept open for some days longer with Secretary Al Mc- Cabe in charge. Within a day or two all but a single room of the Republican headquarters at the Palace Hotel will be given up, but headquarters will be maintained there for several weeks. —————— 2&444*0*+¢+9¢44¢»9¢0, 4+ Did you know that the best 4 imported figs depend upon the + Fig Wasp for their excellence? 3 Further, that for years horticul- +4 turists in California have been + experimenting in vain to intro- :_ duce the insect.

PHELAN BUILDING. | | POLICE LODKING - FOR EMBELILER - IND BIGAMIST | | Warrant Out for the Arrest | of John Monk, a | Tanner. John Monk, a tanner, is wanted by the police on a charge of felony embezzle- | { ment, and there Is every reason for the | | belief that he is also a bigamist. The | complaining witness against him on the | embezzlement charge is Thomas McGin- | nis, who keeps a boarding-house at 908 | Illinois street. | Monk, who worked for a tanner on the | an Bruno road, had a room in McGinnis' | house. McGinnis sold some land in Val- | lejo for $800. He got the money on Octo- ber 25, and that night he remarked in the | presence of Monk that he did not know what to do with the money, as he did not wish to place it in bank just then. Monk suggested that he put it in his trunk, | where it would be absolutely safe. To this McGinnis agreed. | Monk left the house Saturday evening | with another roomer and they went down | town. At Geary and Kearny streets Monl | left his companion, saying he had a| “‘date,” and that was the last seen of him. | As he did not return McGinnis became | alarmed and broke open Monk’'s trunk. The money was gone. McGinnis com- | menced a quiet investigation on his own | account, and when he ascertained that Monk had not returned to work at the | tannery and had not drawn his week's wages he thought it was time to report the matter to the police. Yesterday he swore to a comfilzflnt in_Judge Conlan's court charging Monk with felony embez- zlement, and the warrant was given into the hands of Detectives Graham and Fitz- erald. It is supposed that Monk is in Blding. waiting the departure of the next steamer for Australia, whence he or- iginally came. ‘While McGinnis was searching through Monk's trunk he_ discovered from corre- spondence that Monk had deserted his wife and three children, two girls and a boy, in Australia about four years ago. Further, it was discovered that about six months ago he married a divorced woman { known as the wife of “Doc” Wilson_in Santa Cruz, and also deserted her. She is now in Santa Cruz and is in a condition that requires care and attention. Monk has been known as ‘‘Doc” Wilson and Roy Smith. He is a man between 35 and 40 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches tall, dark hair cropped short, dark heavy mustache, gray eéyes, prominent nose and slightly bald. He wore a dark suit.

READYTOBUILD SHIPS BECAUSE McKINLEY WINS New Steamers Made Sure by | Popular Verdict for | Prosperity. ; e Becavge President McKinley was re- | elected,” Robert Dollar will proceed at once to have a new steamer built for lum- | ber carrying between this port and Grays Larbor. Had the national election result- | ed in the choice of Bryan, Mr. Dollar would not have placed an order at this time. E. K. Wood and Mr. Dollar have | been talking recently about having two | steamers buflt on the same plan, for the same sort of work. Mr. Wood had the same idea that Mr. Dollar had, that the election of Bryan would disturb the busi- | ness of the country seriously. Mr. Wood therefore waited, with Mr. Dollar, to see how the election would come out. Now it 1s probable that the two vessels that the | gentlemen have had under consideration will scon be under way. Robert Dollar said yesterday that he had discussed. the matter of building the new steamer for his use with the Fulton Iron Works people. It had been his idea and also Mr. Wood's that two vessels could be built more economically than | one. He said to the Fulton Iron Works | people that he would not go anead until | after election. ‘“‘Mr. Wood felt the same | way that I did about the matter. He be- | lleved that Bryan's election would dis- turb business for a long time and it would | be better to wait,” sald Mr. Dollar. | The steamer for Mr. Dollar and the one | that Mr. Wood will probably now con- | struct will each have a capacity for car- | rying 600,000 feet of lumber. The cost of | building will be quite large. Benefit will | also result by the furnishing of addition- al facilities for cdrrying on the lumber | business tributary to this dpcu't There | was a story current yesterday that Mr. | Dollar had already signed the contract, | on_ the day following election, but Mr. Dollar said that this was not true. | SOLDIERS SENT TO FORT | BAYARD AND HOT srxnms} Sufferers From Rheumatism and Pul- monary Dissase Transferred From the Presidio.
