The report follow: in full: SAN FRANCIECO, Feb. 17, To_the Honorable Board of Health— Your committee appointed to look into the affairs of the Almshouse desires to report in 1904, addition to its last findings, submitted on Feb- | Tuary 4, the last meeting of the Board of Heal tion of the Alsmhouse: First—We find that with hardly any excep- tion the contractors have mot heretofore fur- nished the supplies according to the quality called for in their bids. For example, when the first order for pork was sent in by the new 1904, | superintendent a barrel one-half the regular | | size was sent out and upon the refusal of the perintendent to accept it as a full barrel it was taken back and a regular size barrel was sent out, This last month of January one barrel of pork was used and the committee on inquiry found that there was no diminution in the serving of pork In January from tbat in December. verthele: the records and i ow that in the month of Decem- of pork were used. ble to the committee that half-barrels Inftead of whole barrels were served the pre. vious administration. and the same was tried on the new superintendent, the difference be- tween four barrels per month under the oid administration and one “barrel per month of the new administration being easily explained | thereby. | MEAT.NOT UP TO | of the it has ! | STANDARD. The mea! tractor sent out cow meat i stead of steer meat as called for in the con- tract, and upon the superintendent refusing to accept the same the contractor's representative » cut and before witnesses said that he 1 an understanding with Dr. d'Ancona that meat of the Almshouse did not need to up to the standard of the meat furnished the City and County Hospital. The new. su- perintendent has nevertheless refused to ac- cept any but meat. It can easily be seen that the city was paying for steer meat, but was getting cow meat without any objec- fon from the administration of the Almshouse. The amount of money thereby saved to the contractor can hardly be estimated or traced. On June 13, 1908, six milch cows we bought at $58. Only a glance at the animals will tell any one that the city pald dearly for them. In June, also, a buggy horse was bought and $200 paid for the same. No horse- man would ever pay more than $100 for the animal and then consider it well pald for. The contract for_furnishing syrup calls for a superior grade. There is still some syrup from the old administration on hand, but it is not what the contract provides, but of a cheap quality There is a bill on file for a_rubber mat, but of | the superintendent has been umable to find the same, it having mysteriously disappeared under the old administration. The coniract for furnishing bl kets calls for five pound woolen blankets with the name Almshouse upon them. The contract- have right along without apparent pro- from the oid administration furnished ound blankets without the name of the \Im se upon them, but have been collect- ing the full contract price for five-pound blan- kets without any objection. TRACKS WELL COVERED. 1t -is perfectly impossible for this committes to begin to enumerate all the frregularities, the tracks having been well committee finds that the administration of the | Almshouse has been a disgrace to the city. Everybody did as he pleased and nobody was responsibie to the head. The amount of money lost to the city In the ordering of supplies and where this money went will never be discov- ered and can only be surmised. The committee has only begun to discover the irregularities and it does not doubt but that from time to time more discoveries will be made and be reported to the honorable beard. Joseph F. Pohelm, M.

Elizabeth Dugan was appointed a nurse at the Almshouse. Superintendent Schmitz of the Alms- house recommended that several stair- ways be built in the institution. He says that there are no fire escape facil- ities in the building and that in the event of a fire the loss of life would be appalling. \ The old rule: pitals were abrogated and new rules adopted for their conduct. Drs. Stinson, Hughes and Poheim were appointed .a committee to look into the present system of food inspec- tion and to make recommendations for its improvement. The charges of Cemetery Inspector collusion between Walsh and the | watchman of the city cemetery were found not to have been sustained. Health Officer Ragan was delegated to investigate the recommendation of Chief Inspector Hassler that the Chi- nese laundry at 414 Fulton street be condemned as unsanitary. The owners of the premises at 614 Howard street were cited to appear and show cause why the building should not be con- demned. The Board of Works is also investigating the latter building, claim- ing it is unsafe. g A SEEKS RENEWAL OF THE SAILORS’ HOME LEASE Ladies’ Seamen’s Friend Society Urges Supervisors’ Police Committee to Grant Privilege. The Supervisors’ Police Committee yesterday took under advisement the petition of the Ladies Seamen’s Friend Society for a renewal of its lease on the institution for five years. Repre- sentatives from the board of trustees addressed the committee and urged the committee to investigate the conduct of the home, whlch they said was of the best. It was stuted that the British Con- sul would probably withdraw his op- position to the direlictions of Supe: intendent Ferem, now that the luter has resigned. The Mayor has recom- mended that a salaried manager be employed instead of paying him a commission. The committee granted permits to the Bay City Club on March 4 and to the -Olympic Club on February 25, 26 and 27 for amateur boxing contests.

It was called to order by First Vice President Duncan McPherson of Santa Cruz. There were forty dele- gates present. Secretary I B. Me- Mahill presented his quarterly report, with a request from the Mayfield Board of Trade for admfission to membership in the association. The morning session was devoted to order of business and appointment of a committee to present subjects for consideration. Upon reassembling at 1:30 p. m. this committee presented its report, which was adopted. EI Ca- mino Real was indorsed by the con- vention and a committee composed of President Canfield- of Hollister, Paul | Shoup of San Jose and C. A. Ricketts of San Luis Obispo was appointed.to assist in furthering the restoration of the old road that formerly traversed the State from San Diego to San Fran- cisco. The huge bowlders thirty-two miles south of Hollister, known as “Van- couver’s Pinnacles,” were the subject of a report by a committee appointed at the last meeting at San Juan to make known their grandeur and to attract tourist travel to that section. The “pinnacles” are a gigantic rock formation unequaled in the world for size, according to geological experts. Yet they aré almost entirely unknowrn to the public, because no prominence has ever been given the locality in which they lie. Photographs were shown by L. W. Jefferson, chairman of the committee, who stated that mag- azine and newspaper articles ~would shortly appear describing these mas- sive rocks. VALUE OF ARBOR DAY. Arbor day was the subject of a talk by Paul Schoup. President Canfield, whose illness compelled him to request Mr. McPherson to continue in the chair, spoke from the floor, referring to the action of San Francisco authorities in preventing the sale of flowers on the streets. It was stated that this cus- tom had been effective in advertising San Francisco in European capitals. A committece was appointed to draft a resolution for .presentation to the San Francisco authorities recommending that the privilege be renewed. Representatives of the California Promotion Committee addressed the convention relative to the work of the committee. Hamilton Wright spoke of forthcoming articles in Eastern maga- zines and European newspapers de- scriptive of California. R. P. Lathrop of Hollister spoke of the dissemination of literature at St. Louis and offered a resolution favoring the granting of space to the California Promotion Com- mittee for the purpose, which was adopted. The matter of space for an exhibit for the six coast counties at the St. Louis exposition and the allot- ment of floor room for various sections was referred to a committee. Indorse- ment of the international exposition project in San Francisco in 1913 was unanimously given. VISIT TO THE COLLEGE. Discussion of topics of general inter- est to the State and to the sections represented occupied the time until 4:30 p. m., when adjournment was taken to 7 p. m. The delegates were shown thrcugh the public works, where water, gas and electric light are produced un- der municipal control, then through Santa Clara Cpllege and local mills and other industries. At the evening session there was a general discussion on irrigation and oiled roads. A banquet followed, at which Dr. A. Osborne acted as tastmaster. Short speeches were made by R. T. Lathrop, Professor L. R. Smith, Duncan MacPherson, A. N. Judd, F. B. McMahill, F. A. Quinn, Paul Shoup, S. R. Tanfield, . Thorpe and Dr. H. O. Menton.
