This “is considered @ remarkable showing, owing to the fact that March. had twenty-seven rainy days, and is a big increase over February, when there were 136 new buildings planned at an estimated cost of $1,039,937. The estimated cost of projected al- te fons to._ sixty-four old buildings figured up to $106,568. There were 503 applications for bullding permits filed, 29 complaints, 19 applications to tear down build- ings and 5 house moving permits is- sued. Free permits to the number of 218 were issued for alterations cost- The fees collected dur- ch amounted to $2204, against for February.

Sheriff Would Repair Jails. Sheriff Curtis filed a statement with he Supervisors vesterday that he will require $1 220 to conduct the va- departments under his charge during the next fiscal year. Of this amount $44,500 is for subsistence of prisoners, an increase of $3000 over the present appropriation. Curtis also wants $1525 to repair Jail No. 1, $8900 for Jail No. 2 and $2100 for Jail No. 2, which he says is urgently needed.

It is deSigned to- increase the corps to seventy-five physicians, so that daily inspections may be made at the | schools. v { Drs. Poheim and Harvey, the com- mittee appointed to investigate the sub- | ject of tuberculosis, made a report in | which they recommend that the matter of isolating the tubercular patients In | the City and County Hospital be imme- diately taken up, so that the other in- mates may not be unnecessarily ex- | posed. The committee finds that |there are at present fifty - three | tubercular patients in the institu- tion named, thirty-six of whom are beyond all help. The remalining | seventeen are said to be amenable to out-of-door treatment. The commit- tee recommends the erection of a male and a female tubercular ward in the hospital for the exclusive treatment ol such patients, also a strict inspection of the tenement districts, and that ten- ements beyond the stage of fumigation | be condemned and torn down, and that | premises occupied by tubercular pa- tlents be fumigated. The report of the committee was adopted by the board, which decided to carry out the recom- mendations contained therein. REFUSES TO BE COERCED. The board refused to be coerced into publishing the monthly health bulletin in return for the printing of the “Health Hints for the Household,” as demanded by the Board of Supervisors in a reso- lution. pervisors had found fault with the length of the health hints, claiming that much matter therein could be elim- inated.

The board adopted a statement of the appropriations which it will ask the Board of Supervisors to provide |in the next budget to conduct the | Health Department. For the City Hos- | pital the sum of $55000 is asked for | salaries and $140,000 for expenses: unfenced lots | Twenty-sixth Street Hospital, salaries | $4260, expenses $6000; Smallpox Hos- pital, $10,800; emergency hospitals, $50,- 320; health office, $73,720. | Superintendent Schmitz of the Alms- house submitted a statement that it | will requige $27,000 to pay salaries in | the institution and $65,100 for supplies, |a total of $32,100. Schmitz asks the | salary of the resident physician be in- be provided for. The board recommended to the Su- pervisors that an ordinance prepared by John Gartland of the Board of Pub- lic Works be passed requiring property . buildings within the fire limits so as to make them rat-proof. The board adopted rules and regu- | lations for the conduct of the small pox and leper hospitals. As the result of the acceptance by Emergency Surgeon Pawlickl.of a fee ! of $2 50 while in the discharge of his official duties the board adopted a rule that no surgeon or other employe in the emergency hospitals shall accept a fee for services or make an offer to acquire private patients from those who apply at the hospitals for treatment. HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT. Health Officer Ragan filed a report covering the operations of the depart- ments under his Jjurisdiction during January, February and March. The | total - number of deaths registered in January was 726 and births 490; Feb- ruary, 653 deaths, to-28, 534 deaths and 404 births. The | Inspecting physicians acted on 561 com- plaints in January and 438 in Febru- ary. The number of plumbing inspec- tions in January was 1740 with 158 com- plaints abated, and in February 2127 inspections with 87 complaints abated. The dairy inspectors acted on’ 77 com- plaints and abated 43 in January, and 66 complaints and abated 28 in Feb- ruary. The market inspectors con- demned 2090 pounds of beef, 409 calves, 233 sheep, 315 chickens and 1290 pounds of beef, 334 calves, 104 sheep, 1684 chick- ens and 9660 pounds of fish in Feb- ruary. The report notes a close line between the food and chemical departments and that quite a crusade has been inaug- urated for the betterment of the food service in this city. In January and February there were 16,303 gallons of milk inspected, resulting in five arrests and the collection of $100 in fines. TO INSPECT HOSPITALS. Acting on a communication from the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the board ordered rigid investigations of maternity hospitals and lying in asylums to be made by the inspecting force to the end that the ordinances regulating them be com- plied with. The society complained that some of the abandoned infants re- cently found on the public streets came from some of the institutions where of The Board of Health yesterday in-| Dr. Ragan stated that the Su- | | creased by $25 per month, and that an | additional attendant, nurse and heiper 76 births; March 1| of game in January, and 8330 pounds | SCHINDLER HAS ~ BETTER PLACE uddenly Declines Manage- . ment of Foster Road and | Will Go to Los Angeles | 'Sinta Fe Man to Succeed Epes Randolph as the Head of the Big Electric System The information was given out yes- terday from the offices of the California Northwestern Railroad that® A. D. Schindler, superintendent of the San Joaquin Valley division of the Santa Fe road, who .was recently appointed | manager of the first mentioned road | and assistant to President A. W. Fos- ter, had suddenly declined the position. His appointment was to have been ef- fective to-day, but early yesterday | morning Schindler notified President Foster that he would have to decline the place in view of the fact that he had been offered a more important po- sition with greater remuneration in the employ of the Huntington-Hellman street railway syndicate of Los An- geles. | Superintendent Schindler was in con- | ference with President Foster for some | time yesterday. The former informed the head of the California Northwest- | | from Henry E. Huntington of the posi- | | tion of general manager of the Pacific | Electric Railway Company of Los An- | geles, now held by Epes Randolph. The | latter, it is reported, is a very sick man, and for that reason he is prac- tically making his home in Phoenix, many miles from the scene of opera- tions of the road of which he is the head. From what can be inferred from | Huntington's offer to Superintendent Schindler, Randolph is expected to re- tire from active service with the Hunt- ington-Hellman street railway lines, and in anticipation of this fact Hunt- ington sought the services of Schindler. When the latter will enter upon his | | duties in the south has not yet been | {decided upon. Immediately after his | | meeting with President Foster, Schin- | dler departed for Los Angeles. An assistant to President Foster on | the coast road will probably be se- | lected next week. ] ——————— e Pioneer Dies. George A. Reynolds, a brother-in- | law of A. L.

BUSINESS GOOD FOR SANTA FE Prominent Officials of the Road Reach This City on a Tour of Inspection A party of prominent Santa Fe of- ficials, including Vice President Paul Morton, traffic director of the com- pany; Freight Traffic Manager W. B. Biddle, Passenger Traffic Manager George T. Nicholson, General Freight Passenger Agent J. J. Byrne, arrived | and registered at the St. Francis. With with his family in Santa Barbara, the party has been making a tour of in- spection of the company’s western sys- tem and came north over the San Joa- quin Valley division. Vice President Morton stated last evening that he ex- pects to remain here about a week and he added that President Ripley would come north’ beforé returning to Chi- cago. “‘Business in the . West,” said Mr. Morton, “is all that the railroad com- pany could ask for. As for the Santa Fe, it has been carrying a lot of freight out of California and getting ®s share of west-bound business. We are look- ing forward to a lively time during ..e coming conclave of Knights Templar lleve, will be the biggest California has In fact the demand for roll- ing stock has surpassed all our expec- tations. We are hurrying to comple- tion the new hotel in Colorado Canyon, which will be open in time to accomo- date the Knights Templar. In antici- pation of this business and that accru- ing from the annual conference of Methodists in Los Angeles, the Santa Fe is constructing at the canyon a large sidetrack for the accommodation of many special trains, which will come west that way, so that visitors may live in their cars if they are so inclined.” Y Mr. Morton said the Santa Fe has all but completed its plans for hand- ling deciduous . fruits from Northern California. It has leased a river steamer, which will ply between Sacra- mento, Antioch and Point Richmond, ‘gathering freight for the main line of the company. Regarding this year's orange business, he stated that the growers had been seriously handicap- the Eastern market points, which had prevented the product from being dis- posed of at its customary price. He denied all knowledge of any compact between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe companies, whereby they would jointly use the California North- western Railroad for traffic purposes. In fact, he said, the engineers of the Santa Fe are still busy on the plans for a new road from Eureka to San Francisco Bay. —————— Sues. for Loss of Schooner. ‘and ‘Fifth’ and Sixth avenues to read Andrew .Anderson yesterday filed a suit for $12,000 damages against the Northwestern Lumber Campany. which owns the tug Printer.
