Oommercial Bodies Protest Against Revoking Spur Track Permits. AR The, Board of Supervisors yesterday ! referred to the Health Committee a proposed ordinance appropriating an additional sum of $2000 out of the; urgent necessity fund to prosecute the-| work of cleaning the Chinatown dis- trict. Action was taken on motion of Supervisor d'Ancona, who held that the Board of ‘Health should present a detailed statement of its expenditures | for cleaning Chinatown before any fur- ther sums were appropriated for the purpose. % Secretary Emery of the Health Board | said that the additional appropriation was absolutely necessary. Mayor Schmitz asked Emery if he had not said when the last $5000 was appropriated for the purpose that it | would suffice to complete the work of cleaning Chinatown. Emery said he had, but the additional money was necessary to tear down unsanitary | buildings and becauge the district to be-cleansed had been extended by the | Federal officials. “I would like to know just how much money will be required to finish. the work,” said the Mayor, ‘“under our agreement with the State and Federal authortties.” Emery said -it was 1mpoulble to fig- -ure the exact cost, as it depended on | the United States Marine Hospital Ser- vice, which lays out the work and which had extended the area to be cleaned so-as fo include the. Latin dis- trict. “The board adopled a, resolution de- claring that no damages have ‘been claimed as ‘resulting from changing grades on’ Chestnut street, between Hyde and Larkin, and on Hyde street, | béiween Chestnut.and Francisco, and thdt ‘no expense has been incurred in making the change of grade, except the | cost” of examination, maps, making: of estimates of cost and | publication of ‘notices.

Requests Board of Supervi- sors to Take Immedi-, ate Action. — e Mayor Schmitz sent a communication yesterday to the Board of Supervisors in which he urged the immediate is- suance of the bonds for public improve- ments, for which the people voted at an election last September. The Mayor | wishes their legality established by the courts as soon as possible. The com- munication follows: Gentlemen—The people of this city having recently decided by an overwhelming vote in favor of a bond lssue for varjous important | municipal purposes, respectfully call your at- | tention to the propriety of taking immediate steps toward the jssuance of such bends, which, under the provisions of the charter, must be {ssued under your direction and authority. URGES IMMEDIATE ISSUE. Owing to the probability that prospective pur- chasers will require a judicial determination of the validity of the bonds to be issued some delay will in any event intervene, and It would seem the part of wisdom, as well as of duty, to proceed at once with the preliminaries neces- sary to the issue thereof in order tHat thelr proceeds may within some reasonable period become avaliable for the purposes to which they are to be devoted. I respectfully suggest that we assume all proceedings thus far had to be valid and order the immediate issue of the | bonds. Mayor Schmitz explained that he did not desire to reflect on the board by suggesting that action be taken, but he thought the matter should be hurried a little. “In the expectation that there will be a demiand for the bonds;” sald the Mayor, “I feel that something should | be done to hasten their issuance.” | Braunhart produced a copy of a reso- lution asking. the -City Attorney to { bring the bond issue before the Su- preme Court to determine its validity and thought no further action should be taken until the-City Atlomey had been heard from. SUGGESTS FRIENDLY SUIT. “That was a month ago,” replied the Mayor, “and nothing has been done I think this board should take | immediate action, as I am having pre- pared the necessary papers ‘for the bringing of proceedings to have a de-, | cision on the legality of the bonds, in | order that their sale may be consum- mated at an early date. | The Mayor's communication was ; then Teferred to the Committee on Pub- | lic Utilities. | “It is my intention,” said MayoF Schmitz, after the meeting, “to have a friendiy suit instituted by some tax- payer yet to be selected to restrain the Board of Supervisors from taking any | action looking fo the issuance of the ‘ bonds.
