PRI AR The Board of Public Works yesterday determined and declared the district to be assessed for benefits for the change of grades on Polk street, between Lombard and on Chestnut street, between Larkin and Van Ness avenue. The district is bounded by Walnut ave- nue, Lambard street, Larkin street, North Point street, Van Ness avenue, Bay and Polk streets. The board estimates the costs and dam- ages incident to effecting the proposed grade changes at $44,185, and 550 taxpay- ers will be affected. ) The board adopted a resolution request- ! ing the City Engineer to report the most | advantageous scheme of improving the future possibilities and conditions of traf- fic in the Potrero, particularly on Fourth street from Channel to Kentucky, on Kentucky street from Channel to Second is desired as Particular information to | whether it will be necessary to widen the | streets by setting back curbs for a dis-| | avenue south and on Rallroad avenue. | tance of five feet, or take steps to widen | the streets or any part thereof.

Some of the men were originally appointed by Build- jng Superintendent Schmitz, but were laid off by Commissloners Casey and Manson, who said the board had not made the appointments. Action was postponed on the petition of Felix McHugh that the allowance of $150 for sprinkling and repairing of Point Lobos avenue be increased to $200 per month. Fred C Jones petitioned the boavd to completicn of the erection of the Suan schoolhouse, for which he w awarded the contract. Jones also petitions for the refunding to him of $107, which the bond cost him, as tha Auditor has retused to set aside the ne:- | essary money for the payment of tie ob ligation. The board ordered that the width of sidewalks on Duncan street, between S«r and Tiffany avenues, be reduced to feet on the north side and to 12 fes: | en the south side —_— e CLUB IN THIRTY-EIGHTH.

The United Republican League Club of the Thirty-eighth Assembly District was organized last night in the temporary club quarters at the corner of Golden Gate avenue and Webster street.

AT Commissioner Casey and His Honor Have Exciting Cellcquy. There was an unusually stormy session of the Board of Supervisors yesterday when it met to consider the recommenda- tions of Mayor Schmitz that the sum of $172,710 be taken from the salaries of city officials and other items in the municipal tax budget and applied to public improve- ments. Pent-up excitement was apparent during the entire meeting and at several stages the debate became decidedly heated. The members of the board did not relish this passing up to them of the responsi- ' decried by citizens and taxpayers general- ly. Commissioner ey of the Board of Public Works was present to defend the administration of his board, and the fact that he and the Mayor are on bad terms socially and poiitically served to add fuel to the flame of discontent engendered by the Mayor's message. More than once it looked as though Casey, who labored un- der stress of gieat excitement during the entire session, was on the point of “say- ing things.”” but he was invariaoy checked by the Mayor, who used his gavel with telling effect. i The Mavor held himself well in hand, but made one mistake when he ruled out of order Braunhart's motion that Casey be allowed to speak for five minutes in reply to stateme made by the Mayor. braunhart appealed from the decision, and when the vote was taken the Mayor found himselt supported by but one’ Su- pervisor—Waish—who was recently ap- pointed to the place by the city’s exec tive. Fitteen Supervisors voted against his decision and Casey had his say. The vote also rather indicates how the board stands regarding the Mayor's recommen- dations. One of the Mayor's recommendations was that the position of Chief of the Bu- reau of Streets be abolished, thus effect- ing a saving of $2400. Casey agreed to the recommendation on condition that the S perintendent of Buildings be done a v with. ‘1ne Mavor was game and added that recommendation to his others, al- it encompasses the dismissal of his brother, Frank Schmitz, should the board adopt the recommendations. DEBATE ON BUDGET. There was considerable debate as to whether the budget, having been adopted, could be again considered for the purpose of making any changes in the appropria- tions. “If the budget has been adopted,” said Comte, “it cannot .be amended in thi Vi The only legal manner of proceed- ing would be for the Mayor to veto such items as he may desire. It Is an impor- tant point, as it concerns the legality of the whole tax levy. It is true that the budget was adopted as an additional pre- | utfon, but the charter does not specify just how it shall be passed upon.” “If the budget Is out of your hands,” sald the Mayor, ““then It is useless to hold this meeting. But 1 do not regard that it is out of your hands since it has not been finally passed.” Comte suggested that the budget finally acted upon and then presented to the Mayor for his vetoes cr approval, the Mayor said if that were done the ve- toes could be passed over his head and the reductions recommended could not be used for public improvements.

LOS ANGELES, June 10.—Mrs. Cutting Clark, a woman of considerable wealth, whose daughter is the wife of W. F. White, Attorney General of Utah, com- mitted suiclde this afternoon by hanging herself in a woodshed in the rear of her residence, 2516 Michigan avenue. The of the suicide undoubtedly was in- ty resulting from despondency and grief over the death of her husband, which occurred here March 31 last. Mrs. Clark had been preparing dinner and left the food cooking on the stove. Going to the shed, she fastened a clothesline to a beam and after tying one end around her neck climbed a step lad- der and jumped off. Her body was found an hour later by a neighbor.

The Mayor said the | | chief of the Bureau of Streets could | be dispensed with, as one of the commis- | sioners could do the work. “T believe we can get along without the | chief of the Bureau of Streets and also | without the superintencent of public buildings,” said Casey, “and I make the | recommendation to that effect.. “The Commissioner’s recommendation is the Mayor’s,” sald his Honor, who thus aids in the dismissal of his own brother, Frank Schmitz, as building superintend- | ent.” Mr. Casey will attend to the duties of the Street Bureau ana Commissioner Herbert Schmitz to those of building sup- | erintendent. STREET CLEANING. | Regarding the reduction of $25,000 in the | appropriation for cleaning streets, Casey | stated that the reduction could not be ef- fected unless the wages of sweepers were | fixed at $2 instead of $2 25 and the sweep- | ing be dispensed with for a certain period. “There has been an attempt to raise a | | false issue,” said the Mayor. “I am ready to put up a bond that the wages of sweep- ers will be fixed at $2 25 under the amount recommended by me, and if new bids are invited the work will be done for $1%,000.” Manson said he regretted that the con- had already been awarded and Brandenstein said nothing could be done unless the contractor surrendered his contract. The Mayor said he would withdraw his recommendation for the re- duction In the street sweeping, but that time would show that the work could be done for less money and that he was cor- rect in his position. Casey objected to the Mayor's statement and started to reply when he was ordered to sit down by the | Mayor, -who again vigorously rapped his | gavel. “The matter is closed,” ruled the | | Mayor. | “1 make a motion that Mr. Casey be | allowed to speak for five minutes,” said | Braunhart, who was seconded by Eggers. | “I rule the motion out of order,” said the Mayor, “and [ shall adjourn this meeting if you canpot act on business principles. We want no discussion foreign | to the matter we have on hand.” | Braunhart appealed from the Mayor's decision and was supported by fifteen of his colleagues. “I felt that the Board of Works had been assailed,” said Casey, ‘“when the Mayor said the street sweeping could be done for $25,000 less than the awarded contract and still pay the fixed rate of wages. We ad- vertised in the legal way and four con- tractors bid for the contract. We kept the matter open for two weeks, but never heard from the Mayor. The man who | sald the work could be done for less is not a gentleman or a man.” OBJECT TO REDUCTIONS. City Architect Cuthbertson and City Engincer Grunsky objected to cutting down the appropriations for their offices.
