It having been called to the atten- tion of Supervisor Braunhart that his proposed ordinance fixing mileage | rates for automobiles would greatly | Increase the existing charges to pas- sengers, he has prepared an amend- ment eliminating mileage rates and substituting time rates as follows: “For a hackney carriage, except rail- road cars, drawn or propelled by steam, electricity, gasoline or motive power other than horses, for four or a less number of passengers, two and | one-half ($2 50) dollars for the first hour or fraction thereof and one ($1) dollar for each succeeding half hour or fraction thereof, the time to be computed for going or returning, in- cluding detention. “No. extra charge to any passenger shall be made for the ordinary amount of baggage."” e AR e b United Railroads Wins. It took a jury in Judge Kerrigan's court only five minutes yesterday to find a verdict for the defendant in the case of William Whittington against the United Rallroads. Whittington sued the company for $10,000, alleg- ing that his 15-year-old son, while riding as a passenger on a car, was pushed or thrown off by the conduc- tor and that the child died from his injuries. The evidence, however, showed that the boy was not a passen- ger, but had been jumping on and off cars and that while so engaged he fell and broke his leg. Lockjaw followed, causing his death, | FOR LRGES SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVY Board of Education Favors Submission of a Charter Amendment to the Voters |MAKES PLEA FOR HELF Thinks Department Should Be in Same Category as Park and Public Library —_— The Board of Education yesterday completed its statement showing what it considers is an injustice done by ‘the Board of Supervisors in making an in- adequate appropriation for the school department in the municipal budget The statement | will be filed with the Mayor to-day and | will be used as a guide by his Honor in vetoing specific items of the budget for the next fiscal year. should he decide so to do. During the preparation of the report the members of the board discussed | the advisability of petitioning for the | submission of a charter amendment to !a vote of the people providing for levying a special tax for the mainte- nance of ‘the public schools. in favor of the proposition. The Board of Education is of the opinion making of appropriations. requires that the Board of Supervisors shall annually levy a tax of not less than 1%+ nor more than 2% cents on every $100 of assessed valuation for the support of the library and not ‘less than 5 nor more than 7 cents for the parks. The School Directors claim that a tax of, say, 10 cents should be levied for the schools in order that the School Department should not be left to the mercy of a hostile Board of Supervis- This tax would mean an annual contribution from the city of soma ]‘3465‘000 and is not considered high in | view of the fact that the State gives nearly $1,000,000 to the San Franciscc schools. The Board of Education is much wrought over the inciuding by the Supervisors in its next appropria- tion of an ‘alieged surplus of $108,000, which it claims does not exist, and a special tax would cbviate a recurrence of such a condition. It would not be necessary to go outside the dollar limit for the purpose, as is the case for the parks. During the present fiscal year fifty- five teachers were elected, but it is claimed that owing to lack of funds very few teachers next year. The Health Board will also appeal to the Supervisors to increase its appro- priation, one item of $1000 to improve | the emergency hospitals being consid- ered imperatively necessary. ADVERTISEMENTS.

City Engineer Woodward filed a re- | port showing that the cost of the one hundred-foot boulevard proposed by the Spring Valley Water Company from Nineteenth avenue to the Great highway would be approximately $75,- 000. The report says: In the event that the charter should be held to prohibit_the closing of Ocean avenue that the Board of Works considers it advisable to recommend the aceeptance of the corporation’s proposal to deed the land for the | boulevard in exchange for the closing of Ocean avenue, I would suggest that the question of the actual route be referred to this office for a decision by its engineers. Here would be an' opportunity to construct a boulevard to conform to the character of the country to ba traversed and not to follow the rectangular system that has so marred the natural beauty of San Francisco, The petition of George Collins for a permit to place four awnings in the rear of the premises at 1129 Dupont street was denied. Inspector Fitz- | simon reported that it was against the | law to erect awnings of inflammable material in the fire limits. Inspector Jordan reported that the | high fences at the corner of California and Fillmore streets had not been re- moved and it was agreed to make a test case of a twenty-foot fence at Mc- | Allister and Larkin streets, which is | prohibited by ordinance.
