He says that most of the claims were given up long ago by their holders, they | having in many cases written off the amounts on thelr loss accounts. Now that the face value of the claims is within thelr grasp Wells thinks they should be willing to accept it without imposing an additional burden on the city. To pay the principal and interest of the claims will require about $450,000, accord- ing to Wells' figures. He estimates that there will be $260,000 avallable from the surplus fund remaining in the city treas- ury at the end of this fiscal yvear. interest, amounting to $100,000, is waived by the creditors there will be but $90,000 to be raised by the levy of a special tax on July 1, 1901. This wouid necessltate a rate of but a fraction over 2 cents on every 3100 assessed valuation. with the total roll estimated at $410,000, The Auditor is receiving many answems in response to his circular which he sent to the various creditors with a request to furnish itemized statements of their claims in order that he may compare them with his books. He was much rur- rised to receive a reply from R. F. Os- orn & Co. to the effect that the firm has no . claim against the city. Considering that the firm is on the Auditor's books for claims of 343 30 and $15 17, which ap- pear as not having been paid, Weils be- lieves that there are some honest people in the world yet. Another firm writes that its claim s ‘much less than noted, while others have sent equivocal answers, leading the Auditor to believe that they have no knowledge of the claims other than that furnished by the Auditor's cir- cular. Wells explains the discrepancy by saying that séme of the claims may have been pald out of other funds and not post- ed on the original accounts. He thinks that his first estimate of the city’'s in- debtedness may be somewhat reduced. —_— B A’'Great Opportunity. P. C.

PRACTICALLY FIX ON OLD GAS RATE Little Hope for Reduction During the Coming Fiscal Year. — Str B The gas rate for the coming fiscal year was practically fixed at $140 per thou- sand feet yesterday / the Supervisors. There will not be any change from the existing rate unless some other company enters the rield when bids are cailea for, and that is altogether unlikely. ‘When the Supervisors, sitting as a com- mittee of the whole, resumed their inves- tigation into the matter of fixing the gas | rate Supervisor Reed stated that he be- lieved all the members were convinced that the present rate of SI40 was fair to | the company and the consumer. “We | also know,” said he, ‘‘that there has | been a raise in the price of material since | we last fixed the rate. The old company also agrees to erect 150. cluster lghts along "Lhird street, Market street and van Ness avenue and light them at a cost of 15 cents a lamp per night.”” “I do not see why these additional lamps should be erected alang those par- ticular streets,” . remarked Supervisor Dwyer. “My constituents who live in the Mission district are compigining that they are being discriminated against.” “It matters not to us,’”’ sald E. C. Jones, | chlef engineer of the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, ‘“where the addl- tional cluster Jamps are erected. We will place them wherever we are directed by the board.” Supervisors - Boxton and Braunhart thought that the committee was acting hastily in_fixing the maximum rate at $140 per thousand feet. “I believe that | we should lock further into the cost of | production of gas,” sald Braunhart. '“Un- iimited oil fields are being opened up in this State,” said he in conclusion, “and much of the oil can be used in the manu- | facture of illuminating gas. This ofl can be supplied much cheaper than coal.” The other Supervisors present were of { the opinion that no harm would follow the recommendation of the $140 rate by the committee, and a motion to that ef- fect was carried. ve are not binding ourselves in any way,” sald Reed. ““We are only recommending the maximum rate.” The matter of electric lighting was next taken up, and Engineer Jones was again called to the witness chalr. “At what rate per kilo watt hour is your company supplying electricity to the clty?* asked Reed. ““We are furnishing power and light to | the Hall of Justice for 5 cents per kilo | watt hour,” answered Jones. | “Is it not a fact,” asked Reed, “that the Independent Electric Light Company urnishes light for a little less than 4 cents 1000 watts?"” | Tt may be that competition has brought | the price down,” answered the witness. | _“I now ask you,” said Reed, addressing | J. Martin of the Harbor Light and | Power Company, “if the company you | represent does not furnish light and power-at less than 5 cents per 1000 watts?"” | "*No, “sir,” reflied Martmn. “Our price | is about 8 cents net.” | *Is it not true, Mr. Martin,” persisted | Reed, “that you charge 12 cents where there is no competition?" “It is not,” answered the witness. “The | amount consumed and not competition | fixes the rate.” Reed then renewed the examination of Jones and elicited the information that 12 cents per kilo watt would only be a fair price. “We are selling light in some places at a loss,” sald he, ‘‘and 12 cents would make a fair average.” Jones was temporarily excused and A. M. “Hunt, general manager of the Inde- pendent F!!er-trlc Light Company, was called as a witness. He testifled that he believed 11 cents per kilo watt would be a | fair rate in outlying districts. ““Our high- est rate,” sald he, “is 9 cents, with a dis- count, and some of our customers do not buse the minimum amounts, $150 per month. T belleve that 11 cents would be | equitable in outlying districts and from ! 4 to 6 or 7 cents in the downtown districts. If the city furnishes the poles we will fur- nish arc lights at 27% cents a night.” W. R. Summerhayes, general manager | | | H. Steward, EW GOODS!

The other companies charge $2 50 for the same qual- ity of light in the downtown district. He did not think that 35 cents, or even 39 cents per arc light per nifi‘ht was too high. He explained that while lights for $2 a week his lights were not ex- pesed to the elements. Consequently there were few globes broken and the car- bon points were not as quickly consumed. The saving in carbon points and globes made it possible to sell lights at a rate lower than the other companies. The further Investigation into the cost of electric lighting was postponed until the regular meeting to-morrow, when gineer Jones will produce his books, show- | ing the cost of the plant and the profit, if | any, made in electric lighting .
