Mackenzie. s Rudolph Herold Jr. yesterday attended s last meeting of the Board of Harbot Commissioners as a member of that body and John D. Mackenzie, his recently ap- pointed successor, presented his creden- | tials and officially took his seat. | Commissioner” Herold welcomed Com- | missioner Mackenzie, bade good-by to his former associates and as plain Rudolph Herold Jr. was an interested listener to Commissiongr Kirkpatrick’s summary of what has been accomplished by the com- mission since Hereld joined it. Mackenzie in taking his seat thanked | Mr. Herold and the Commissioners for their kindly welcome and said that his aim while a member of the board would be to do everything in his power to pro- | mote the best interests of the port. | Commissioner Herold welcomed the rew | member as follows: Mr. Commissioner: T desire to congratulate you on your appointment as a member of this ion, which is considered by all those | are conversant and acquainted with its duties and working to be one of the most im- portant and prominent in the affairs of ,this State. I am much gratified to be able to say to you that upon assuming your seat as my successor you will find the vast machinery of this commission in the best working order. There is cash on hand, the credit is unlimited, there is no annoying and worrisome litigation pending, save a suit for alleged infringement of patent, which is being taken care of by the able attorney of the board, assisted by a competent patent lawyer, and will therefore not be a source of trouble to you; and in ad- dition to all of this/ the commission is free from the slightest breath of scandal. 'As the Garden City has no harbor or water front, the shipping and commercial interests of this port can feel secure that your undivided efforts will be directed to the support and promotion of the port of San Francisco. ‘Wishes Mackenzie Success. In conclusion, Mr. Commissioner, I extend ou my best and sincere wishes for a suc- ssful and prosperous tenure of office, and i at any time you should desire to confer or consult with me on matters pertaining to your new office you will find me ever ready to re- spond and co-opérate. Turning to President Kilburn, Mr. Herold said: Mr. President: All that now remains to bring my term of office to a close is the of- ficial leave taking of my associates and these | surroundings. This I do with sincere feelings of deepest regret. During my entire business life, which extends over a period of thirty vears in this city, 1 have at various times cen a_member of boards and committees, but assoclation been 50 near and ith the commission I am now | about to part with. As San Francisco is my native city, it was | but patural that I should enter upon my duties as a Harbor Commissioner with great interest and zeal, and which has increased to such an extent as my term progressed that it will be impossible for the mere expiration of my appointment to either eradicate or di- | minish it. I shall continue to be a close ob- | server of water front matters, and closely | watch the. consummation of ~the important ork mow in course of construction, in the | ng of the specifications, the awarding | of bids and executing of contracts of which I participated in. It is my earnest hope that When in the future my incumbency as a mem- ber of the Board of State Harbor Commission- ers is referred to, the verdict will be *“He did his duty.”” This will be my proud reward, and 1 will always consider that it would not have been possible for me to earn it if it had not | been for the able assistance and support I received at the hands of my assoclates, the heads of the departments and the rank and file down to and including the humblest em- | ploye, to all of whom I now extend my heart- felt thanks. 1 desire to particularly thank Governor Budd, who presented me with the property, and Governor G who_perfected the title thereto. I also wish to thank the press for its uniform courtesy and the falr treatment in criticizing my official acts. In conclusion, my associates and friends, I, | with my best wishes for the long continued success and prosperity of the Harbor Com- mission, will now bid you “Good-by.” : San Francisco’s Great Growth. Commissioner Kirkpatrick then spoke as follows Mr. President: In accordance with the m..i mutable law of change, not to mention change | by immutable law, it becomes our pleasant duty to extend a hand of welcome and fellow- | #hip to our future associate: to assure him of | our support and to ask his co-operation in those Auties which are so interesting to the indi- vidual and so important to the well-being of the State. We have, however, another duty, as well as a pri e, and that is to speed the parting as we welcome the coming guest. The great King of the Round Table has said, “The old order changeth, vielding place to ne and, while this may be true of transient of- fice. we would say to our esteemed friend and | fellow-laborer of the past. who this day lays | down the vares of office, that there is another order into which, with his consent, we hope, we have initiated him; and as a member of which we have graven his name upon our hearts among that ancient and most honorable order of friends, whose term depends, not upon fhe statutes in such case made and provided, but where the tenure of office is for life. There j= one matter of congratulation for our retir- ing Commissioner, and that is that during his term of office the shipping tonnage of San Francisco has made the greatest growth of any Tourth seaport in the United States, and that the tonnage here is rapidly approaching one- half of that of the great port of Liverpool with jte millions upon millions of dollars invested in docks and piers. To say that so many mil- lions of tons of freight were handled In a year conveys little information to a mind un- familiar with the subject: but the fact that tolis” have been collected in the last year upon sufficient freight to load four hundred thousand freight cars of fifteen tons each, and that they, if coupled together, would reach across the country in a solid ilne from San Francisco to New York, will give some Idea of the traffic’ of this great harbor. To meet the requirements of this trade it has been necessary to strain every re-. trade it has been necessary to strain every. re- source, and upon this subject so vital to our city and State there is no ome who has, or could have, put more careful thought and earnest work than our friend, Mr. Com- miesioner Herold. When we think. that in addition to all the repairs and smail improvements continually ST.

The oc- casion promises to furnish a veritable treat to all admirers of the operatic:har- monies of that great master, Balfe. The advance sale of seats has been progress- ing most favorably and.already many of the best points of vantage have been se- cured. The Choir and Choral Unlon consists of sixty well-trained juveniles, who have been selected from the young ladies of St. Dominic's Church. They have beer coached and rehearsed by the Rev. Father J. S. Jones, O. P., until they can sing the music of the opera without a break or without the least hesitation. The performance of the precocious amateurs would wrest the wreath from many pro- fessiopal companies. They enter with | deep interest into their rehearsals and im- part some of the enthusiasm of their young lives to their 'The Bohemian Gir the Choir and Chor: s presented by Union at Vallejo A Vallejo paper has of the,success which the following to say attended their efforts and the reception which- was accorded them: @ it sl e ° being made, during this _commissioner's ) man to give us in the future the benefit of | Gentlemen of the commission, what is your term there have been constructed the car ferry siip on Bryant street, the addition to Pler No. 28 at Main street; the widening of Pier No. i at Jackson streef, the reconstruction of Pler No. 10, the 300-foot, extension to Pier No.®20 at Stetart street, {he building of the great car ferry slips No. 1 and 2, the great Plers Nos. 19, 21, 23 and 25. with their ‘cylindrical ‘cement supports, intended to defy the ravages of the active teredo: the reconstruction of Pier No. 9, and the 200-foot additions to Piers Nos. 2 and 3, which not only give additionai Wharf room, but provide eddy water for the landing of the ferry boats; the building of the Ferry Postoffice and the Fisherman's wharf— when we think of all this, in connection ‘With the many additions to bulkheads and_ sheds, which I cannot now enumerate, and when we remember that these works give, or will give, in the aggregate, an increased wharf area of about 418,000 square feet, or the equivalent of a new wharf eighty feet wide and one mile long; when we think of this work, Mr. Pres dent, and know, as we .do know, -that our friend is acquainted with every foot of bulk- head and berthroom contained both in it and in the old docks and wharves, we can . form some estimate of the time he has spent upon this work, and when we remember his equal care and_anxiety, efther to provide a dock for | the great ocean liner, with her thousands of tons of freight. or a box for the smallest fish- ing-boat, we know it was a labor of love as well as a duty. Knowing all this, Mr.. Presi- dent, we feel it our duty to urge the gentle- —_— the Rev. Father J. 8. Jones. The proceeds were to be devoted to the improvement fund of St. Vincent's Church, and the worthy ‘object added to the popularity of the director, and the splendid reputation of the participants-justified the large at- tendance, ““Miss Kathryn Barry dn the role of Thaddeus, the hero, was the star of the performance. Miss Edna Walsh as Arline added a _charming Yersonallly to a splen- did voice. May Bird, the Gypsy queen, rendered her part in an acceptable man- ner.

Father Jones is to be congratulated on the’splen- did success he has attained with the or- ganization.” One_of the features of the evening will be the appearance of Baby Albertina.

She mnot only sings, but she dances several very pretty dances in a most dainty and win- some manner, Dolly Roche, in the character of “Dev- ilshoof,”” chief of the Gypsies, is also ex- pected to win her share of the plaudits. During the intermissions of the opera a troupe of seventeen boys, none of whom are over 15 years of age, will sing old plantation songs in true darky style.

President Kilburn closed the ceremony with the following words: Gentlemen of the Commission: phatically indorse all that has been so well and ably said by Commissjoner Kirkpatrick.

The Bank of British North America and other banking institutions similarly sit- uated in this city will benefit largely from a decision rendered yesterday by United States Circuit Judge Morrow in the case of the City and County of San Francisco vs. The Bank of British North America. The suit was brought to compel the bank to pdy the taxes on its solvent credits for the year 1599-1900. The evidence taken heretofore was that the Board of Super- visors, sitting as a Board of Bqualization, added $731,00 solvent credits to the as- sessment on the bank, the tax on which would be §16,000. Judge Morrow in his de- cision yesterday took the ground that the Board of Equalization exceeded its powers in doing so, and that it should have in- structed the Assessor to make the addi- tion, the duty of the Board of Equaliza- tion being simply to order corrections of the assessment roll. Judge Morrow ruled also on another point that the law provides that the de- linquent tax list shall be certified to by the Auditor and the Collector, which was not done in this case. The court said that in all cases in which the Board of Equalization added to the assessment roll, such additions are illegal. This practice, said the court, was continued up to the year 1900.
