Herrin held that the por- | tion of the franchise along Islais Creek and the Mission tracks could be consid- ered alone and independent of the main franchis. “The Company wishes | the matter considered,” said Herrin, “but the company desires a franchise that will be acceptable.” . mittee wishes to recommend sald Supervisor Braun- hart, “but the matter has been pending for onme year with no definite agreement | on the part of the company regarding cer- tain conditions suggested by the City En- gineer.

At that time the company will be at liberty to inter- pose its objections to amy of the provi- sions therein contained. SANTA FE FRANCHISE. Captain A. H. Payson, vice president | of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe | appeared before the committee in | upport of the application for a franchise | on certain .portions of Seventeenth and | Payson asked that the| committee visit the route desired by the | company. The committee set next Tues- | day afternoon at 4 o'clock as the time | for making a personal inspection of the | proposed right of way. | The committee prepared a resolution di- | recting the Board of Works to remove | certain fences on P street, Rallroad ave- | nue and Twenty-seventh avenue, and to expend $75 to make the necessary surveys. | George Roundy stated that the Board of Works had been ordered to remove the | fences more than a year ago, but had only | partly carried out the work.

Owen McHugh was allowed until March 1, 1904, to grade Eighteenth avenue, be- tween K and L streets. e Classification of Employes. The Supervisors' joint Finance, Fire and Police Committee considered yesterday the recommendation of Mayor Schmitz that the Fire Commission classify certain of its employes as electrical engineer, cashler, stenographer, clerk, storekeeper, machinist and stenographer-secretary, which, however, does not contemplate an increase in the force. The committoe in- structed the commission to ask the City Attorney’s opinion as to whether it has power to classify its employes without ac- tion on the part of the Board of Super- visors.

SUPERVISRS HOLD INQUIAY |Health Board Secretary Explains Raising of Salaries. Money Apprcpriated for Help Used for Other Pur~ poses. e bt The joint committee meeting of the Board of Supervisors held yesterday aft- ernoon for the purpoese of Investigating the actlon of the Board of Health in raising salaries of employes with money appro- priated for additional help Ad not de- velop any sensational features, Secretary J. 8 Emery of the Health Board ap- peared before the Supervisors and smoothed matters over, He Informed the members that the Board of Health did not go outside of Its province, nor 4id it Intend to do anything that would lcok like a discourtesy to the city fathers, Emery proved a good moilifler and suc-! ceeded in making things look In a better light than was first reported. The facts show that $65,6%. was appro- | priated for the use of the Health Board for this year. It was provided that the board could employ two additional mar- ket inspectors, one additional inspector and one additional plumbing in- spector. It developed that the Health Board employed an additional sanitary Inspector and an assistant city physiclan, and hed dlvided $2950 in ralsing employes’ | saladles as follows: Chief sanitary Inspect. or $600, health officer $200, assistant se retary $300, messenger 3180, chemist $300, chemist's helper $120, bacteriologist $300, bakery inspector $300 and disinterring ing spector $120. EMERY EXPLAINS. This was added to their annual sala- rles. As the money was appropriated for new positions and not for raising sala- ries some of the Supervisors thought that the Health Board had overstepped its authority. Emery was interrogated closely about the number of employes in the depart- ment and their duties. After the exam- ination ; asked leave to make a statement 1 upon leave being granted | him he “Different conditions existed when the | salaries were made and fixed. The board | did not desire to step outside of the rec- | ommendation your committee. It be- lieved it was acting under the resolution introduced by Supervisor Wilson, which says that ‘any determination of the budget and the aggregate sum allowed each department, office or commission, the itemized segregation of the Finance Committee and the committee of the whole, shall In no Instance be a recom- mendation or limitation as to the dispo- sition of the ’\pyrru':r.\rlm\ finally made to any depa board or com. | where the Board of Supervisors, by ordinance or resolition, as provided by th fixed the | compensation of s . Supervisor Wilson asked E: mery wheth- er he thought the Board of Health had t to the Supervisors in using | money asked for additional help In ra ing salarles. Emery replied that no dis- respect was intended. He thought the whole matter devolved on the Board of Health, and it was in its discretion what it should do with the money; that the er to use the mcney asked for the employment of a cer- tain inspector and do away with that of- | fice and use it for some other purpose. QUESTION OF JUDGMENT. Supervisor Braunhart was of the opin- fon that the Health Board had such au-| thority. Supervisor D'Ancona, who conducted the investigation, said there was no ques- | tion that the Health Board did not i tend any disrespect to the Supervisors. He said the only question was whether | the money was used for the best interests of the people in public service. The Board of Health found itself with $2580 able. The question is, did the Health Board show good judgment in raising the salaries of its emplo After a great deal of informal discu sion the committee took the matter un- der advisement. The Finance Committee held a meeting favorably on the Foundry Company claim of the Pacific for $1%5 for putting up the poles used in | the late Grand pervisor Army incampment. Su- matter. He thought the specifications had not been complied with, but it w: {shown to his satisf: n that certain contingencies arose which made it im- possible to carry them out. Good faith was shown on the part of the contractors and the bill w; ordered paid. e Arraigned for Murder. One of the most important cases now pending in the criminal courts is that against Charies Sullivan and J. H. Powell, who were arraigned before Po- lice Judge Mogan vyesterday charged with murdering Special Poiiceman Robert A. Sample. The murder was a cold-blood- ed one, and it occurred on Howard street, between First and Second, on the| morning of August 11. The prisoners had been in a drunken brawl with an un- known man, it is said, whom they were beating unmercifully. Martin Kelly | called Sample's attention to the fact that the outrage was going on, where: special sought to stop the beating. said that Sullivan and Powell beat the | policeman, then took his revolver aw: ay | from him and shot him in cold blood while he lay helpless and bleeding on the sidewalk. The case is one of exceeding | cruelty and cold-bloodedness, but despite this fact it is said that certain political influences are being used in behalf of the prisoners. The case will come up to-day. —_—— LABOR AND AJJMISSION DAYS.

Owners. Owners of property in the vicinity of Grant avenue from Bush street to Mar- ket will be disagreeably interested in a sion rendered yesterday by United | States District Judge James H. Beatty | of 1aaho sitting in the United States Cir- | cuit Court in the case of Alexander J. | Switt against the city and county of San Francisco. The suit was brought to re- cover $3000 and interest on the Dupont- street widening bonds. Judge Beatty gave judgment in favor of Swift, but added that the amount of the judgment | was not payable out of the general fund, | but that it should be assessed against and | collected from the owners of property in the aistrict benefited by the widening of Dupont street from Bush to Market and constituting what is now known as Grant avenue. Six other cases of a similar nature pend- ing in the United States Circuit Court are included in Judge Beatty’s decision, the facts In each and the questions of law involved being alike. The plaintiffs are James S. Sharper, Felix J. de Crano, Jo- seph W. Mather, E. G. Ames, Henry A. King and Ellen Ivers, and the aggregate sum involved in the seven suits is $113,- 000, 'of which $70,000 is for principal on the bonds and the remainder for interest. All the plaintiffs are residents of the Eastern States and their claims are not affected by the decisions heretofore given in the Superior Court in favor of the city and county and the property owners. The complainants will proceed to man- !damus the Assessor and the Tax Col- lector to assess to and collect from the | property owners the sum involved in the | decision. Should they still refuse to pay their property will be sold to pay the as- sessment. The bonds for the widening of Dupont street were_authorized by an act of the Legislature of March, 1876, and the work of widening the street from Bush to Mar- ket was completed in the fall of 1877. The bonds were issued for $1,000,000, of which sum $800,000 has been paid, leaving $200,- 000 due. Of this balance due the Eastern holders will receive $70,000, plus interest, which will bring the total up to $113,0%. PUESTE STE i AR TR Free Day at Hopkins Institute.
