R_WOMEN AND CHILDREN ) VACATION TEAM DEGIDED UPON It Will Begin December 21, 1903, and End Jan- uary 11, 1904. The Board of Education issued a cir- cular of infermation yesterday to prin- cipals and teachers, in which it is stat- ed that the winter vacation for the public schools will begin Monday, De- cember 21 and end Monday, January 11. The dircular also states that the incoming City Attorney will be asked for his opinion as to the legality of in- creasing the teacheérs’ salaries $2 a month, such increase to be applied to the annuity fund, instead of the $1 now deducted from their monthly pay. If this can be legally done it is hoped that the Board of Supervisors will grant the increased appropriation, thus placing the fund on an absolutely sta- ble foundation. The proposition of the teachers to contribute monthly $1 additional to the annuity fund was defeated, only 382 out of the 908 contributors voting for it. The circular continues: “Principals will see that the usual instructions to janitors for work dur- ing vacation are carried out, as per de- tails in circular No. 8, June 4, 1803. “Salary demands for December will be paid December 23. “Principals are requested to send in at once the names of their probable graduates.” The following resolution has been passed by the board: “Resolved, That not less than twenty (20) minutes’ in- structlon during each school week shall be given in all the primary, grammar and high school grades in the elements of physiology and hygiene with special reference to the effect of alcohol and narcotics on the human system, and that the principals and teachers be re- quired to include in instructlion the correct use of the emergency roll and first aid to the injured that has just been supplied to all the classes.” The new school directories have been issued and are ready for distribution. Janitors will call for the supply for their respective schools. A graded course of study ih drawing will be introduced at the beginning of the spring term, January 11, 1904. Principals were requested to send in their four weekly reports not later than the Monday following the end of the four weeks. The attention of principals was again called to the following paragraph in eircular No. 10; ‘““Admit no new pupil to your school who lives nearer an- other school with the same grade for two weeks after the opening of each school term. Admit no such pupil at any time when he would cause the en- rollment of the class to exceed fifty in the first grade or fifty-five in the other grades.” —————— i An article on California in December Four-Track News, a beautifully 1llus- trated and extremely interesting maga- zine.

City Eungineer Grunsky's report on the abolishing of sidewalk widths on Sixteenth street, easterly from Seventh, was filed with the Board of Supervis- ors yesterday. Grunsky reports that the viaduct to be built by the Southern Pacific Company on Sixteenth street, between Seventh and Illinois, will pre- vent the widening of Sixteenth street on the northerly side without further concessions by the company and prop- erty owners. Grunsky recommends an eight-foot walk on the southerly side of Sixteenth streetrand that that street be widened from - Seventh street to San Bruno avenue. ———— Reduced rates on household goods to & from the East & South.

City Oifficials Escape Extor- tion by Givicg Ade- quate Security. It having been brought to the atten- tion of Mayor Schmitz that the surety companies have formed a combine to raise the premiums on bonds furnished to city officials, his Honor decided ves- terday to approve bonds given by per- sonal sureties which comply in all re- spects with charter requirements. As told In last Sunday's Call, Assessor the exactions of the surety companles, which have doubled the premium on his | bond of $50,000. | Dodge presented his bond to the Mayor with James D. Phelan and Louis Rosenfeld as sureties, and after it had been drafted to make the responsibility of the sureties ironclad the Mayor stated that he would approve it. The next city official to follow Dodge’s example was Samuel Braun- bart, who was re-elected Supervisor. Braunhart filed a bond with Samuel Nickelsberg and Lewis Meyerstein as sureties, and after a few minor altera- tions have been made in its phraseol- ogy Mayor Schmitz will approve it. ‘* HEAVY BOND PREMIUMS. It is quite likely that the Mayor will| require . the Tax Collector and the| Treasurer to continue furnishing a surety bond, as they handle large sums of money belonging to the city. Treas- | urer McDougald pays $500 yearly as a | premium on his bond, but says he will | continue to do so, as he would require four bondsmen and in all likelihood would have to give up some gplaces in his office for the favor. Tax Collector Smith pays $400 yearly as a premium on his bond. In discussing Schmitz said: “I understand that the surety com- panies have been ‘holding up’ city of- ficials in the matter of premiums on| bonds, and I deem it my duty in order to prevent this condition to approve any bond sufficiently secured by per- sonal sureties. I do not think that our city officers should be subjected to any extortion in this matter, and in order to escape the grasping tendencies of the surety companies the only course’ left is for me to accept adequate personal security on official Donds. I am dis- posed to make exceptions in the cases of the Tax Collector and the City Treasurer, as their responsibilities are great.” MAY SECURE RELIEF. Tax Collector Smith and Treasurer McDougald held a consultation yesler-l day afternoon and decided to appeal to | the incoming Board of Supervisors to make provision under the State law for | the payment of the premiums on their | official bonds. The present Board ofl Supervisors refused to pay McDou-| gald's premium on the ground that the | city would have to pay the premiums on the bonds of all city officials. The board rather resented the action of the Legislature in passing a law which is| deemed an invasion of this city’s right | to govern itself. As Mayor Schmitz is | inclined to exact surety bonds from the | Treasurer and Tax Collector only, it is | probable that the next Board of Super-| visors will provide the necessary funds | to pay the premiums on the bonds of | those two officials in the next munict pal budget. In the event that such ac- | tion will not be taken Tax Collector | Smith expressed his intention to follow | Dodge's example and insist that his| bond with personal sureties be accepted, | —_—————————— Guillett’s Christmas extra mince ples, fce- 905 Larkin st.; tel.
