The order appointing W. A.

The | amendment is designed to put a stop to pool selling in cigar stores, the pro- prietors. escaping conviction under the present ordinance on the plea that the | money is not wagered in this city, but is sent to Oakland. Boxton made the motion to post- pone, claiming that he had not had time to inquire into the matter. Comte | wanted immediate action, saying: “Postponement will only result in & lot of gamblers appearing before the board to test against the measure.” The ordinance prohibiting the use of buildings for immoral purposes was passed to print. The board adjourned to meet on some night in April to be hereafter designated, for the purpose of tend- ering an official reception to Alford W. Cooley, United States Civil Service Commissioner, and Elliot H. Goodwin, secretary of the National Civil Service Reform League, who are touring the Western cities on official business. The resolution on the subject recites: ‘“The policy of the government of San Fran- cisco as expressed in its charter is to foster and encourage the principles of civil service reform.” GRIGGS’ LECTURE ATTRACTIVE TO bbbt Where is he with the temerity to question the love of the feminine smart set—of course, no one questions the male affinity—for delving into the higher problems of life, into ethics, economics and other personal intrica- cies—for, note the attendance at the | Griggs lectu Friday afternoon, | when the us subject, “Plerre | Loti, the Sensitive Dreamer,” was pre- sented by the eminent ethicist.

Already the gay tones of the tally-ho horn are mingling with the notes of the spring birds, and gay maids and young matrons are dis- carding their hats and acquiring the foundation layers of their summer coats of tan.

For the last | two years the Leakes have summered in San Rafael, but they have trans- ferred their affections to the valley.

Kent of Kentfleld has just returned from the southland. Mrs. Kent will probably soon be jaunting off to Tahoe; for she, like many others, has been building a summer home near the beautiful mountain lake. And now comes an interesting con- test. It is nothing more nor less than | the auto versus the horse. San Rafael has long been moted for its beautiful horses and stunning turnouts. On a summer day as the afternoon trains arrive from the city the railway sta- tions in S8an Rafael and Ross almost equal a horse show or a “soclety cir- cus.” But the progressive auto is scat- tering dismay and discord among the horses and thelr conservative patrons. Scores of auto lovers will spend the summer in San Rafael and take advan- tage of the fine Marin roads, if the strict and famous Marin “automobile ordinance” is to be modified. If it is not to be, the auto enthusiasts will take themselves and their machines else- where, leaving the old-time thorough- bred and his conservative owner to revel unmolested in the beauties of the Marin country roads. Time will reveal the outcome—and a very short time, at that. . Mrs. J. E. Alexander left on Satur- day, the 9th, for a jaunt to the Bast. She will be away only a few weeks.

An ordinance | | to that effect was passed to print by a | unanimous vote. The extension was agreed upon by the Fire Commissioners and the Fire at a previous meeting | and the matter was discussed at a con- | mendation | | | ference held just before the Board of met. Formal recom- for the extension of the | fire limits was then made by the Fire Commissioners. The Spring Valley Water Company filed a communication stating that it would be unable to comply with the recommendation of the Chief Engi- neer of the Fire Department that mains be laid for 320 additional fire hydrants. The communication says: The cost of this work, exclusive of setting the hydrants, will be close to $250,000. The amount of pipe necessary has a length of six- teen miles. The revenue which you offer for this permaneut investment is $1 per hydrant per month, or & total of $3840 per annum.

Action was taken on the request of the Health Board that bills for buggy hire at the rate of $30 a month be paid for the health officer and one of the city physicians. Under this rul- ing certain employes in the Health De- partment will have to pay for their own transportation. D. M. Wright, a member of the park band, was subjected to a rigid cross- questioning by the Finance Committee regarding his bill of $280 for sheet mu- sic furnished to the band. It was re- ported that the music could be pur- chased for $210. Payot expressed the cpinion that the city should not be compelled to pay for the music on the same principle that a carpenter is not pald for his tools when he does work. It also developed that the music had been purchased by Wright without con- sulting the Finance Committee. After cutting the demand down to $210 the committee informed Wright that he must appear before the committee in future when he desired to purchase music. The board ordered the performance of street work on Hermann street, be- taining to this investment, the income should | tween Laguna and Market, and on I be_$20,000 per annum continuously.

We have set ten miles of pipe, and propose ta 000 feet on Mason, Taylor and Shrader , on which fitty-three hydrants will be Before more hydrants are set on pipes set over eight inches in diameter larger sums for setting than at present allowed should be agreed upon. Fire Commissioner Parry strongly denounced the Spring Valley Water Company for refusing to aid in the matter of better fire protection, say- ing it should not expect to be paid in- | terest on work which would not be done for a year. The Supervisors, however, held that the company could not be compelled to lay the mains and set the hydrants. Supervisor d’Ancona thought the company should expend $250,000 of the money spent on its Alameda system to give this city bet- | ter fire protection. Chairman Bran- | denstein said that the only thing to | ( do is to go ahead on the proposed auxiliary salt water system, for which the Board of Public Works will short- “Marie | Iy submit plans and estimates of cost. to | The matter is now in the hands of a | special under | Fire f the Channing Auxiliary. | o committee, consisting of the Commissioners and Assistant Chief Dougherty, to ascertain through experts the cost of installing the sys- tem in the downtown district. The proposed amendment to the building ordinance to limit the height of buildings in the lodging-house dis- of | trict to three stories, which was rec- ommended by the Fire Department as an additional fire precaution, was laid over for two weeks. The committee decided not to re- |insure the Harbor Police station. | Germany, i i Will of Abraham Green. The will of Abraham Green, which disposes of an estate estimated to be worth more than $200,000, was filed for probate yesterday. The testator leaves $1000 to his niece, Dora Levkowitz of $500 each to the Hebrew Home for Orphans and the Hebrew Home for Aged Disabled, all his insur- ance money and promissory notes to his daughter Mabel and the residue of his estate to his other children, Walter Green, Martha Van Vliet and Florence Isaacs. —_——— Issues License for New Bank. The State Board of Bank Commis- sioners issued a license yesterday for the establishment of the Home Savings Bank at Los Angeles.
