Supervisors Order Construc- tion of Sixth Street Sewer. The Board of Supervisors yesterday re- ceived a petition from the California Au- tomatic Telephone Company to operate a franchise for twenty-five years for inde- pendent telephone, telegraph and burglar alarm systems, with long-distance con- nections. The petition, which is signed by William F. Smith as secretary of the company, was referred to the Public Util- ities Committee. The company agrees to the following conditions: The system is to be installed inside of one gear and all wires to be underground as far as ntral avenue on the west and Twenty-sixth street on the south. It is to be a central energy system, dolng away with local batterles at_telephones. The heads of departments of the City Hall, Hall of Justice, police stations, engine housel Alms- house and City and LOJnl) Hospital to have free telephones. Business telephones to be in- stalled at the rate of $5 per month with unlim- ited switching and residence telephones at $2 50 per month. Residence party telephones with two on a line will cost $1 50 per month. We will guarantee to pay the city the sum of 5 per cent on the net income of the system. We will also agree to sell to the cify at any time during the life of the franchise the whole plant at the net cost of the same. We are prepared to deposit a bond of $100,000 that the Work will be pushed to completion. TO REGULATE ELEVATORS. The bill providing that elevators shall be operated by experienced and compe- tent operators and directors was referred to the Public Buildings Committee. The ordinance provides that it shall be unlaw- ful for any person to operate an elevator unless he has had at least seven days’ experience in that capacity and be more than 21 years of age. The petition of Henry A. Tessmer that | the fences and turnstjles be removed from irty-fourth and Thirty-fifth avenues South and K street was referred to the Street Committee. The ordinance providing for the con- { struction of a sewer in Sixth street and adjacent streets at a cost of $50,250 finally passed. The Board of Works recommended that grades be changed on Treat avenue; that sewers be constructed in Folsom street, from Jefferson avenue to Union avenue, Bank street and Gates street, and that sidewalks be constructed on the corner of Green and Steiner streets and on Florida street, between Twenty-fifth and Twenty- sixth. Steiger and Edwards were granted per- mission to erect a eeven-story brick ninety-nine feet in height, on the northeast corner of New Montgomery and Minna streets. Fourteen gas lamps and arc lights were ordered installed in various sections of the city and the San Francisco Gas and Elec- tric Company was directed to discontinue the lighting of twenty-seven gas lamps on account of the erection of arc lights in the vicinity. Grades were ordered@ Thirteenth street, near Market. The Union Paving Company was grant- nety days’ time to complete its con- street, between con- between Sev- on account the recon- tracks. was granted 150 days’ to complete the Potrero-avenue r extension from Twenty-fifth street to Army street. WILL REPAVE H STREET. An ordinance was passed to print order- was established Guerrero on and struct a sewer in H street, enth and Tenth avenues, of the delay caused by | ing the paving of the northerly half of H | street, between First and Seventh ave- nues, at an expenditure of $1100. 'he ordinance imposing a license of $10 per annum on automobiles used for other than private purposes was passed to print. The three ordinances regulating the use of preservatives in food and prohibiting the sale of harmful adulterants in milk and food were referred to the joint Com- mittee on Judiciary and Health. The ordinance regulating the disinfec- tion of shoddy was amended to require that material used in its manufacture shall be disinfected by formaldehyde gas under pressure of at least fifty pounds or steam of at least 320 degrees In an air- tight room or chamber. An ordinance was passed to print au- thorizing the Auditor to change the clas- sification of four clerks to that of one as- sistant deputy and three clerks. The San Francisco Electric Protective | Company filed a petition with the board | for @ franchise for a period of fifty years | for the purpose of operating an electrical bur’lur alarm system. It is intended to wires, pipes and conduits under the streets as may be necessary. The ration in Eastern cities and has proven to be a valuable protection to property a‘d n | a great aid to the police department the prevention and detection of crime. The incorporators of the company are John F. Beymour, Frederick L. Esola, Joseph L. Eppinger, Hepry Rosenfeld and Harry W. Goodall. e petition was re- ferred to the Street Committee. City Attorney Lane rendered an opinion that he finds no legal objection to the proposed bill for regulating the operation of steam engines and the examination of engineers and it is within the power of the Board of Supervisors to pass such a measure.

Johann Strom filed a libel yesterday in the United States District Court against the Alaska Commercial Company to re- cover $221 71 wages alleged to be due. EE HE Board of Supervisors yester- day passed to print the ordinance introduced by Supervisor Lynch permitting horseracing within this city and county for an ag- gregate perlod of forty days in each cal- endar year. The ordinance also legalizes betting on horseraces within the track inclosure where races are carried on. The effect of the bill will be to reopen Ingle- side racetrack, which has been closed for several vears. Favorable action was taken on the measure by the afirmative votes of eleven Supervisors against five in the negative. A calm discussion of the question in all its phases was had between supporters and opponents. Representative clergymen and lay members of various religious so- cleties were present in large numbers to register their forcible oppositicn to a measure which they deem will inure to the detriment of the community at large. They presented able arguments in sup- port of their claims, but the majority of the Supervisors, after thoroughly weigh- ing the consequences, came to the con- clusion that no real harm could accrue if a limited horseracing season was estab- lished, under proper regulations and re- strictions. Thomas H. Willlams, president of the California Jockey Club, was the only citizen who spoke in favor of the bill, but he explained that he had requested a large number of merchants and business men, who had petitioned seven months ago for the reopening of Ingleside, not to appear before the Supervisors at this time. The Supervisors appeared to be taken with the promise of Mr. Williams that he would conduct racing in a square manner and that he would limit it to 150 days each year in the three countis about the bay. RESENTS INSINUATION. The discussion was dispassionate throughout, except when Supervisor Brandenstein took occasion to resent an intimation made by a clergyman,.in one of the newspapers that Mr. Willlams’ in- fluence could be seen exerting itself among the members of the board. Bran- denstein was visibly affected when he stated that the only influence Mr. Wil- liams had was the same as any othe: citizen could have on the board and that Willlams had acted in an honorable way throughout. After the ordinance had been read the clerk announced that protests against the opening of Inglesids track had been filed by the First Methodist Episcopal Church, California Club, Law and Order League and the Merchants’ Assoclation. The board agreed to limit the arguments of the protestants to one hour and of the supporters of the bill to one-half hour. ““The California Jockey Club,” sald Thomas H. Willlams, ‘“desires that the ordinance permitting of forty days’ rac- ing and betting thereon be passed by your honorable board. Horseracing is allowed in counties other than San Francisco. We have our State fairs, for which appropria- tions are made and will continue to be made. It is silly to talk about allowing horseracing and to prohibit betting, as the interest is based on the wagers that are made. A large majority of the attend- ance at races in Oakland is made up of residents of this city. WILL LIMIT RACING. “We desire to restrict racing to a lm- ited period, and we pledge ourselves not to have horseracing for a lomger perfod than 150 days In the year on all the tracks controlled by our club. We could race Established 1823. WILSON WHISKEY That’s Alll JAKE JOSEPH, Representative, 300 Battery Street, San Francisco. & 2 & SUPERVISORS VOTE IN FAVOR OF OPENING INGLESIDE TRACK Pass to Print Ordinance to Limit Horse Racing fdr a Period of Forty Days in Each Year After Listening to Long Arguments Propounded by the Supporters and Opponents of the Measure NTHOSH, w LlAMs s : - ROLLA V. WATT, REV. JOHN STEPHENS AND OTHER OP- PONENTS OF RACE TRACK GAMBLING, AND INGLE- SIDE’S CHAMPION, - =3 for 365 days on'our outside tracks if we so desire, but we have no such intention. “In pvery State in this Union betting is allowed on horse races, and in France the sport is licensed. It is to the interests of this State to have horseracing in this oty ey C. T..Work opposed the passage of the ordinance on-the ground that it affected the pupils in the School Department, in which he is a teacher. Work argued that the estaplishment of horseracing would counteract the efforts made to bring up pupils properly. “T ask you in.the name of the teachers and pupils to vote down this bill,” said Work. “If vou. oven Ingleside you will subject the puplls to the contamination of young men who indulge in the vice ot gambling.” I think that the last speech is a direct tnsult to the. native sons of this State,” sald Boxton. ‘“The speaker makes us out weak fools, incavable of protecting our- selves.’ Rev. Dr. Thomas could not see any force in the argument that because racing is permitted in other counties it should be allowed here. Dr. Thomas asked the board to lessen the temptations to the youth in order to make it easler to de- velop good citizens. OPPOSED TO GAMBLING. Rev. H. F. Briggs sald he s an admirer of horses, but he objected to conducting gambling as an accessory to sports. Dr. Briggs sald he had learned from experts in pugilism that a square fight cannot be had any more because the gamblers *‘fix’" the fights.. The speaker thought that the argument to'permit horseracing here be- cause it is allowed in other countles is as sensible as to admit yellow fever because it is epldemic in a Mexican port. He sald that gambling is a curse and ought not to be permitted. Frank J. Symmes spoke for the Mer- chants’ - Assoclation, the members of which; he said, had cast 811 votes in fa- for of the opening of Ingleside and 482 against. Symmes stated the majority did not deem the opening of Ingleside as con- ducive to the best interests of the com- munity. Mayor Schmitz asked Symmes whether if the vote of the Merchants’ Association had been reversed he would have appear- ed in support of ‘the opening of Ingleside and Symmes replied that he would have certainly represented whatever side the majority favored. John W. Rodgers held that if horse racing and: betting is wrong for sixty days it is wrong for forty days or forty minutes. “The members_of this board will stulti- ty - -themselves,” sald Rodgers, '"if they J = = change their attitude on horse racing. I am opposed to the legalizing of gambling on moral grounds. This thing is wrong in principle and the board cannot afford to increase the roll of the potters’ field and the shame and misery of the gam- bling evil.” WANTS BILL DEFEATED. Dr. F. K. Baker expressed surprise that the gambling fraternity should “have brougbt up thé question again. In re- sponse to a question put by Brandenstein Rev. Mr. Baker said the Supervisors should vote agalnst the bill on principle. C. J. T. Truman, representing the Ep- worth League Alliance of 2500 members, registered a formal protest against the ordinance. Rev. Dr. Stephens raised his voice against the provislons of the ordinance. Rolla V. Watt held that there was no general demand for the opening of Ingle- side and that it would do no good. J. W. Henderson of the Christian En- deavor Union was the last speaker to protest against the passage of the ordin- ance, WILLIAMS CLOSES. Under an agreement Williams was giv- en leave to close his side of the case and did so by saying: Seven months ago a number of stable pro- prietors, hay dealers and others filed petitions for the opening of Ingleside track. This time I asked them not to do so and they have acceded to my request. I believe the clergymen who have addressed you this afternoon are sincere In their opposition to this crdinance. Some of them would close the theaters and even stop music in the Park on Sunday afternoons. Some of the best cltizens in the land patronize the races and on the occasion of the opening of an Eastern racetrack President Roosevelt and several members of his Cabinet were present. I do not know but that Mr. Roosevelt made a little side bet. Betting is recognized at the State falrs, and surely it ought to be per- mitted here for a limited period, Now, Mr., Symmes is trying to make you be- lieve that tho nds of merchants are opposed to the opening of Ingleside. The association is composed qf 1300 members, not all of whom are residents of this city. Its by-laws require that all The members be communicated with to vote on questions, but Mr. Symmes admits that he only recefved replies from 793 mem- bers. Why, only last Saturday two of the members went around the wholesale district and in less than two hours secured the signa- tures of seventy or eighty firms favoring the reopening of Ingleside. Mr. Symmes’ returns do not represent the opinions'of the merchants of this city. On February 25, 1901, the name of the Frank J. Symmes Company appeared at the end of a petition for the opening of In- sleside track. In revly to Willlams' last statement, Symmes said that he had not signed the firm's name. Replying to a question of Mayor Schmitz, Symmes said “It was an authorized s?g”nature of the company, written by its secretary. I have never disavowed the signature because I was never called upon to do so until now.” COMTE OPPOSES MEASURE. The Mayor thereupon put the ordinance before the board on final passage and Su- pervisor Comte opposed it. He sald: I am answerable to no cne for the way in which I will vote on this measure. I do not consider for a moment any clection at which I may be a candidate. I would not opposs the closing of saloons because I believe that they are a matter for regulation. I believe that the theaters can be improved so decent women would not be compelled to blush for shame at their performances. There are two branches concerned {n this question—the moral and com.- mercial. The fact that murder is committed is no reason for it to be allowed. 1 can al- ways remember that little prayer which is taught in our childhood, ‘‘Lead us not into temptation, but deliver is from evil.” That is the essence of the whole trouble.

Suggesté Many Changes in Proposed Bay Shore Route. The report of City Engineer Grunsky regarding the route proposed by the Southern Pacific Company over the Bay Shore line was presented to the Board of Public Works. The report is a voluminous affair and recommends many radical changes 1n the plans outlined by the com- vany. The City Engineer advises the buard very strongly not to grant at the present time a franchise to fhe company for continuing its line through the Mis- sion. 1n connection with the tracks through the Mission it is pointed out in the re- port that they traverse upward of seventy streets and that they will cross more when new thorougkfares are laid out. Grunsky calls attention to the fact that all the crossings arc at grade and that there is no possibility of avoiding this state of affairs unless the tracks through the district are changed into an clevated road. He further points out that the tracks in their present location seriously interfere with communication between parts of the city lying on opposite sides of the line. In conclusion, Grunsky ad- vises that “Any franchise or privilege granted for the mainfenance of these tracks should recognize the unfavorable location of this track system and should be coupled with suitable provisions re- lating to the conversion of the line into an elevated road within a stipulated time and to the bringing of certain streets un- der the tracks; that the entire system of tracks through the Mission should be omitted from any franchise granted at this time and should be made the matter for later, special and deliberate considera- tion.” In“his report regarding the proposed Bay Shore line, the City Engineer does not hesitate to recommend many changes in the route planned by the railroad com- pany wherever he believes that the tracks will interfere with traffic. If any considerable number of the changes sug- gested are adopted by the Supervisors, the company will be put to a considerable ad- ditional expense. He advises that the track extending from Illinois street be placed along the northerly line of Cen- tral Basin instead of obliquely across the northern end; that the company lease, at least for the present, the Produce Ex- change block, between Alameda, Ten- nessee, El Dorado and Minnesota streets, and also the two ‘“Market Place’ blocks, adjoining all of which the tracks of the proposed main line and the yard tracks will pass; that.the company dedicate to the public use a sixty-foot strip of land along the southerly line of Channel street from Fourth street to Hudson, now closed, and from the northeasterly line of Fifth street to Sixth. Then by making the public highway on the south side of Channel-street waterway ninety instead of thirty feet, the desired access to the two Market Place blocks already men- tioned will be secured. If the City Engineer’s suggestions be adopted the Bay Shore line will cross the streets as follows: Grade crossing—Sixth, Yuma teenth, south, Six- Seventeenth, Fourteenth avenue south, Twenty-fifth avenué south, M _street _south, Twenty-sixth avenue couth, Twenty-seventh avenue south, Visitaclon avenue, South Hart street, Sunnydale avenue.
