In addition to this amount, the police patrol will require | $22,505 and miscellaneous expenses will eat up $18,950 more. At present there are 575 patrolmen on the force besides | the commissioned officers. | ‘Wittman asks for funds to pay addl- | | tional officers on the force, as follows: | One captain, of police, at $2400 per | | year; two leutenants of police, $3360; | ! ten detective sergeants, $18,000; five pa- | | trol sergeants, $7500; four corporals, $5616, and 200 additional patrolmen, | | $244,880. He also asks that a new rank | | be created in the department between | the Chief of Police and the captains to be known as “Inspector of Police,” | | who would act as assistant to the Chief and take his place during his absence, | the salary of the position to be $3240 yearly. | To save rentals of $4084 for police stations Wittman petitions that new stations be built for Golden Gate Park at a cost of $25000, North End for $20,000, Potrero for $25,000 and Ocean View for $6000. | Wittman also recommends that an ! appropriation of $3600 be made to em- | loy two carpenters and a painter, thus doing away with the necessity of de- | tailing regular officers on this work. | | The statement continues: | | “Our force is entirely too small to | efficiently handle the police work of this city. A conservative estimate of | the population is 425,000, besides a great | | number of people who are in business | here and reside in suburban towns, in addition to the large floating popula- tion. Your attention is called to the | ‘penny-wise-pound-foolish’ system of | paying large rentals for police stations | when the necessary land is available | for the erection of buildings by the | city.” . —_————— | SUES FOR RETURN OF | PORTION OF DEPOSIT ' = Lodging-House Keeper Alleges That Dealer Retained More Than His | Alleged Commission. ' Suit was brought in the Justices’ Court yesterday by Mrs. Amerique B. Deussing against Marion Griffin, a dealer in lodging-houses, to recover the {sum of $110. In her complaint Mrs, Deussing alleges that Griffin agreed to secure a purchaser for the former’s lodging-house, at 579 O'Farrell street, and under the contract was to receive 5 per cent of the price for which it would be sold. | Griffin secured a purchaser for $3300 and accepted from him a deposit there- jon in the sum of $300. The remaining | $3500 was paid to Mrs. Deugsing, who thereupon demanded the sum of $110 i from Griffin, that being the difference | hetween the desposit of $300 collected | | by him and $190, the commission to | which he is entitled under the terms of | the agreement. Griffin has since re- fused to pay the $110.

At a; recent conference the co-operation of | the Board of Education was assured in the taking of precautions against the dissemination of certain diseases by contact of pupils. To that end the board has been in communication with a number of phy- sicians who have signified their willing- ness to make daily inspections in the various schools. A letter was ordered to be sent to.the physicians who have volunteered their services in that con- Hection. The letter says: “The plan, in brief, is to visit the pub- | lic schools of the city and make a class- room inspection with the idea of de- tecting the presence of disease in the early part of the incubative stages in cases of contagious or Infectious dis- eases, and to detect the presence of chronic conditions which have escaped the observation of the parents. The object. gained is intended to be the early arrest of the spread of contagion in the schools and the reference of these acute and chronic cases to the family rhysicians of these children. Daily or weekly reports complying with cer- tain printed forms will be required in order to tabylate the proper results of this inspection.” The board adopted Health Officer Ragan’'s recommendation that inspec- tions and analyses of all milk supplied by dairies to householders be made reg- ularly twice each month. The board also raised the standard of butter fats| cent, owing to the fact that adultera- tions have become very frequent. The bi-monthly bacteriological ‘inspections will be made because formalin is still being used by some unscrupulous deal- ers to preserve milk. 7y | express their preference | ett of the same club spoke of the neces- | sity for improving the roadway of View | INPROVEMENTS ARE ADVOCATED Representatives of Various Clubs Urge Board of Works to Make Recommendations Al Cia Representatives of the various im- provement clubs appeared before the | Board of Public’ Works yesterday to | for needed | street improvements in their respec- tive districts, provision for which may | be made in the next municipal budget. | The Board of Works expressed itself | in sympathy with the improvements designated, but explained that its pow- er extended only so, far as to make the recommendations therefor to the Board of Supervisors, who made the | neeessary appropriations covering mu- | nicipal expenditures. The Board of | Works agreed to make the recommen- dations indicated by the petitions of the improvement clubs. G. Roundy, A. B. Maguire and R. Pease of the Mission Improvement Clubs asked that Mission street from | Crescent avenue to Silver avenue and from Onondaga avenue to the county line be bituminized, as the roadway in its present condition is impassable. They also advocated the bituminizing of Valencia street from Eighteenth to Twenty-eighth. R. C. Clark and B. C. Joost of the Market Street and Eureka Valley Im- | provement Club petitioned for the | opening of Market street from Seven- teenth street to the ocean. Joost said | that the improvement had been agi- | tated as far back as 1876, when a map thereon had been prepared, which he submitted to the board, Another map was made in 1892, C. L. Butte f the West of Castro | Street Improvement Club askedg that Hoffman avenue be extended so as to make access for fire engines easy tg| the surrounding district, and L. Hack- | avenue from Twenty-first to Twenty- | fourth streets on account of its impas- | sable condition. i G. L. Baum, E. McGinley, J. T. Terry and T. J. Cassidy of the Point Lobos Avenue Improvement Club urged the bituminizing of Point Lobos avenue ‘The raising of the percentage of but- ter fats is in accordance with the de- sire of Mayor Schmitz, it having been found that the infant mortality has been sensibly decreased in New York by the adoption of the higher rate. The board ratified the appointment of Dr. W. M. Lawlor as receiving secre- tary at the City and County Hospital at a salary of $100 per month. Lawlor succeeds R. Ehrlich, who was appointed January 9 last when the board assumed office. Dr. W. J. Williams was appointed resident physician at the Pesthouse at a salary. of $150 per month. 4 The board condemned the cellars of premises numbered from 709 to 751 Sacramento street and ordered them to be torn out and placed in sanitary con- dition. Drs. A. E. Scott and H. D. Power were appointed consulting physicians at for{its entire width and length, and the recommendation for the same will | be made by the Board of Works. | S ey WILL REMOVE POLES FROM THE SIDEWALKS | Mrs. E. F. Glaser, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Palache appeared yesterday be- fore the Supervisors’ committee in be- half of the petition of the California Outdoor League for the removal of tel-! ephone and telegraph poles from cer- tain districts.

These will aid the inspecting physicians in the im- provement of sanitary conditions, the system being in successful operation in New York City. The board appointed Drs, Harvey and Stinson a committee to look into the matter of ventilation of new buildings, it having been discovered that the or- ! dinance relating thereto is being vio- lated. —_—————————— LIMA, March 17.—Anxiety is caused here by the bad state of Prosident Candamo's health.

The pris- Evershed and Robert B. Collins. Ever- shed, who is the younger, is the son | of A. Evershed, a wealthy jewelry and cutlery manufacturer of 121 Church road and 52 Western road, Brighton, England. Evershed confessed that he ' had stolen jewelry and various other articles found in the possession of himself and Collins from a jeweler | named H. C. Warner of Fresno, by whom .he was employed up to a week ago. in the neighborhood of $250. Evershed arrived in town in com- pany with Collins, whom, he says, he met on a Stockton boat. The two were caught yesterday while in the act of disposing of some of the stolen jewelry to M. Stein, who conducts the Royal Clothing, Parlors at 114 Ellis street. Stein was seén by the officers coming from the room of the thieves in the Auburney House at 1183 Ellis street. He had just made a trade, giving in their room and when their effects were gearched an immense amount of cheap toilet articles, match boxes, two silver watches and some jewelry, among which was a gold locket con- taining a small diamond, were found. The prisoncrs were taken to the City | Prison and their names placed on the detinue book. Evershed admits having robbed his former employer in Fresno and says that Collins had nothing to do with the thefts, but was merely assisting him to dispose of the stolen goods. Evershed’s father is a respeqted citizen of Brighton. He is very wealthy, having a large jewelry and cutlery factory, in addition to four wholesale and retail jewelry stores. The youth worked for Warner in Fresno for four months and claims to have learned the business with his father in England. He came to Cali- A large number of keys were found on his person and the police be- lieve that he and Collins intended burglarizing hotel rooms. Collins claims to hail from Henri- etta, Texas, and says he owns a bot- tling establishment there. He is 23 years old. | —————— EXPLAINS OPPOSITION TO WATER RIGHTS BILL Congressman Gillette Says the Land Department Will Object to the | Tuolumne River Project.
