It is expected that operations projected for this month will make a | grand total of more than $17,000,000 for building during the present year. There were 1489 permits issued by the bureau for new buildings, representing an outlay of $14,520,384, and 486 permits for alterations to old buildings, costing $1,896,588. The total amount collected in fees was $17,674 50, and this will be aug- mented to $19,000 at the end of the year.

Wants Mahony to Give Rea- sons for Docking Salaries of His Clerks. RO N, The Grand Jury will be called to examine into County Clerk Bert Ma- hony's method of conducting his of- | fice. The charge of juggling with the salary roll of the office made against | Mahony Tuesday by several of his deputies and copyists will be called to the attention of the inquisitorial body by Harry Barbee, one of the| clerks in Mahony's employ, who| claims to.have lost several weeks'| wages through Mahony's efforts to stretch his monthly allowance to such an extent that he could carry on the rolls nearly every person to whom he was indebted and his political friends. “I am going to bring my case to the | attention of the Grand Jury,” said Barbee“yesterday, a few moments af- | ter Mahony had informed him that| he was no longer in his employ. “I see no other way of making the Coun- | ty Clerk pay me the money I honestly earned. I worked during the entire month of November, as the records will show, and did not receive a cent. | I kept quiet because I expected that | it would be made up to me. I worked | every day during October, and instead ‘ of recelving a salary of $150, @as I was | promised, got only ‘$§100. That was| just twenty days’ pay, and I can prove that I was' entitled to thirty. I was| here every day attending to my work. I ‘made a roar,’ but it did not do me any good. The trick was repeated last | month, and now I am going to get the money or know the reason why. I suppose I ought to consider mysgif very lucky, for several of the bdys who worked every day, as can readily be shown, did not get a cent.” | Mayor Schmitz stated yesterday | that the fact that a writ of injunc-| tion had been issued some months ago | by Judge Hebbard, restraining him from interfering with the County| Clerk’s office, would prevent him from taking any action in the latest §can- dal in the office. His Honor said \that if he had his way he would have re- moved Mahony at that time, but he was powerless to do anything in the matter, owing to the restraining or- der, which was made perpetual. | e Censured for a Death. A Coroner’s jury yesterday censured | hi Edward Herringer, a driver of a soda | wagon, for the death of Rosa Curler, | November 5. | TO DSEONTIN Board Orders Dismissal of Its Inspector of Buildings. Forms New Class and Elects Teacher for Daaf and Dumb Pupils.

McSheehy, inspec- tor of school buildings, to take effect at once. But eleven men are now be- ing employed on repairs to schoolhouses and very Tittle work in that connection | will be accomplished for some months. | The Board of Works was also re- quested to discontinue the gervices of Inspector Welsh of the Noe Valley School, the buflding of which has been completed. Owing to lack of attendance, the bookkeeping class of the Richmond Evening School was consolidated and the teacher placed on the substitute list. L A new class was ordered to be estab- lished in the Lafayette Primary School, dating from January 11, 1904. Miss Ina M. Smith was appointed an assistant teacher In the Harrison School for an additional class for deaf and dumb scholars.

Notice of the discontinuance of the Gaelic class in the Humboldt Evening School was given to the board by the Gaelic League. Bills to the amount of $11,236 05 were ordered palid. Teachers’ certificates were granted to Miss Maud J. Coan, Miss Faustina Spa- don! and Miss Maude Lissak. ————————— Insane Alien Excluded. Fernando Gallegos, an insane son of Salvador Gallegos, fcrmerly Minister for Salvador at Washington, D. C., was a passengeér on the City of Para, which arrived yesterday. He was accompa- nied by his brother, Salvador, and cousin, Alfredo, who were to take unfortunate youth to a sanato in this State for treatment, but the Unitéd States Immigration Bu- reau refused to allow the patient is keepers to land, as the admission of an insane alien and his keepers is for- bidden by the immigration laws. An appeal will be made to President Roosevelt. or nst the proposed grade chang: Brfield tract, appeared before ard and asked that action there-| ~ ed for one week.

The market inspectors employed by the Heaith Board condemned during the month of November more than 75,- 000 pounds of fish,according to figures | compiled yesterday in the Health iDe- | partment. The fish was decayed and unfit for human consumption. On No- : vember 23 alone 46,000 pounds of fish | were destroyed by the inspectors. A great deal of poultry, calves, sheep | and cows were also condemned as not | | fit for food. Seven hundred and fifty chickens and 150 ducks were *“coal- oifled.” Strange to say, but few turkeys were seized out of the immense quan- tities shipped here for Thanksgiving, showing that the quality of the na- tional bird was good in the main. e — Against Spur Track Privilege. | Property owners and lessees doing | business on - Filbert street, between Front and Battery, petitioned the Board of Supervisors yesterday not | to grant the spur track privilege on the block named to connect the Gibral- | tar warehouse with the belt railroad, on the ground that it would result in | the blocking of traffic and be inconve- I nient to pedestrians and a menace to | tife and Hmb. e I Tty Sues for Pay for Services. James B. Hagerty, executor of the will of John Murphy, was sued yester- day for $575 by Mary Dolan. She claims that Murphy's estate owes her that sum for services as housekeeper and nurse rendered by her to the deceased | from March 13, 1900, to August, 1902 tate, but it was rejected by Hagerty.
