H. McCarthy was the last witness | calleg. He stated that he was not advo- | cating any particular kind of roofs, but he thought the asphaltum roofs were per- fectly safe. “This is simply a matter of shutting out an industry,” said MeCar- tty. I think myself that the metal roofs may be a bit better than the other kind, but I maintain that the asphaltum roofs are good enough and safe enough. Surely there is no reason why San Francisco | should make war on asphaltum roofs | when they are permitted in every other city in the United States.” - At this juncture Martin Hughes asked | McCarthy when he had taken his change | of heart on the roofing question. Me-, Carthy started to answer Hughes and the | prospect of more than a wordy war| seemed so imminent that Mayor Schmitz | shut McCarthy off and the debate was | closed. The Mayor announced that the | matter would be taken under advisement. | —e———————— Shoes 35c a Pair.

The Fire Commission rendered its rec- ommendation to the board that an auxiii- ary salt-water system be installed for that portion of the city on the water front and adjacent thereto for the better protection against fire. The commission says that if the City Engineer finds that the cost would be more than justified by the tax levy a smaller district should be established for five blocks on Market street and two blocks on either side. The Fire Committee resumed considera- tion of the propesed ordinance regulating the use of petroleum for fuel purposes by requiring 2 flash test of 13 degrees in stead of 110 degrees, as at present. Gen- eral Manager Chapman of the United Railroads stated that the company had used six cars of Coalinga oil on trial, but | is now using the heavier oil, which Is{ safer. At the request of Attorney Eels the ccmmittee postponed actiom until January . 1903, in order to hear from experts, in- dudlug Professor W. B.

The Fire Committee recommended that | { the same privileges now enjoyed by the| ; fire patrol be grantsd the United Raii- rozds in operating an emergency wagom, which will respond to alarms of fire for | the purpose of cutting electric wires, etc., | for the convenience of the Fire Depar ment. This will Include driving at fast | | speed and being entitled to right of was- | | on the streets during fires.
