The Supervisors’ Fire Committee yesterday directed the Health Board to investigate the complaint of prop- erty-owners that a Chinese washhouse on Seventh avenue will be a nuisance. | If a nuisance is maintained it will be | abated at once.

The same | plea has been made for several years and in a number of instances has been taken into court. This year the matter lhas been brought before thé United | States Circuit Court in an application |for a restraining order which was | granted yesterday by Judge Gilbert. The nplaint sets forth that the company’s property has been assessed assess- | for $580,580 and an additional | ment of $450,000 for the { The right of the ecity's : | place any valuation on the franchise |is denied and the amount named for | the other property is claimed to be ex- cessive. The restraining order issued | court prohibits Tax Collecto: the | J. Smith from making the J tries in the tax books &s “taxes de- | linquent,” It is custcmary to place | such entries on the dednquem roll and, Hf the taxes are not paid within the time limit, to mark opposite each en- | try “sold to the State.” The order of the court prohibits that practice being carried out in this instance until after the suit for a permanent injunction h_s beer heard. The company alleges that the amount claimed bv the Tax Collector as de- linquent for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, is $80,479 03 and the order of the court prohibits any collection of that amount by the city and county officials while the hearing is pending. Tax Collector Smith is crdered to ap- pear in the Unied States court July 11 and show cause why the injunction prayed for should not be made per- manent. The injunction granted by Judge Gil- bert is similar to that granted in the case of the Southern Pacific Company by the Superior Court. In accordance with the jouthern and Central Pacific Railroad companies, Superior Judge Sloss yesterday morning issued a tem- porary injunction against Tax Collec- tor E, J. Smith, restraining him from selling certain lands belonging to the railroads for delinquent taxes. The Tax Collector is cited to appear in court next Tuesday to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent. The railroads alleged that the amounts charged against the lands were liens for assessments against the ferry franchises, upon which taxes have been paid to the State e ———— CONSIDER REDUCTION OF AUTOMOBILE the prayer of RATES Supervisors Inquire Into Operating Expenses and Reduce License on Riding Academies. The Supervisors’ License Committee | advisability of passing an amended or- dinance fixed the rate to be charged for automobiles at $2 50 per hour in- stead of $5, the present rate. Several lu\uflmoblle owners reiterated their ob- jections to the proposed rate, claiming that it is too low in view of the high operanng expenses of the machines. The committee postponed action for | the purpose of investigating the books ! of concerns that rént automobiles. It is desired to ascertain the cost of | flperaling the machines. In the mean- time the companies will prepare state- | ments as to the number of machines {in operation, then original cost And present value, the earning capacity each machine per month, the cost repairs and the operating expenses | a ba upon which to fix a rate. | The committee reported in favor of fixing the license on riding academies at $2 per quarter when the business done amounts to $500 ner month and $4 per quarter when the business ex- ceeds $500 per month. The existing licenses are $10 and $20 per quarter. e e———— BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS | TO BEGIN SWEEPING nf | Will Rent Apparatus From Contract- ors for Cleaning of the City's Streets. The Board of Public Works yester- day completed arrangements to do the street sweeping during the next fiscal year, beginning July 1. President Her- bert Schmitz of the board was dele- gated to arrange with the contractors | who are now doing the work for the | renting of their entire street sweeping | apparatus. | The men composing the street sweep- ing force will be taken over by the | Board of Works and continued in their employment. The work will be largely | experimental during the month of July, but commencing with the first of | August the board expects to have it | well in hand. Only those of the street sweeping force who are found competent to do the work will be retained and those who are dispensed with will be suc- ceeded by efficient sweepers. Schmitz says that the work is impossible un- der civil service requirements and no steps will be taken in that connection until the board is sure of its position | in the matter of the city doing its own | street cleaning. capped with the smallness of the ap- | propriation made by the Supervisors. | The board asked for an amount in ex- cleaning plant. The Supervisors saw fit to allow but $215,000 and the board does not desire to be hampered with civil service regulations in the work. Schmitz says that if civil service men | are employed and any of them are found unable to do the work, either on account of age or physical debility, jt will necessitate the bringing of charges involving much red tape, which will further hamper the board. —_———————— Award Contracts for Street Work. The Board of Works yesterday awarded contracts for the doing ol treet work as follows: Barber Asphait Company, to pave with asphalt Steven- son street, between Annie and Third, for $171710; to pave with asphalt Jessie street, een New Mont- gomery and Second, for $139417; J.

Appropriation in Budget NO MORE DARK NIGHTS| Agreement Requires the In- stallation of Three Hun- dred Additional Lamps | — The joint Supervisors’ Committee on | Finance and Artificial Lights yesterday | reported in faver of allowing the whole amount of §320,000 appropriated in (he[ next municipal budget to the San Fran- cisco Gas and Electrical Company for | lighting the streets and public build-k ings during the next fiscal year. The committee imposed conditions re- | quiring the streets to be lighted all night every night in the year, and that | the company instail one hundred extra | arc lights and two hundred additional gas lamps. Light Inspector Tupper submitted a list showing applications that have been made for lights in dis-| tricts throughout the city, and the Light Committee will select from this list the locations of the new lights. | A. H. Payson, vice president of the company, agreed on behalf of the cor- poration to light the dome of the City Hall for twelve nights throughout- the | year, to be designated by the Super-| visors. The lighting of public build- ings, including the libraries but exclud- ing the schools, the lighting of which is paid out of the school fund, is made part of the agreement, together with the furnishing of motive power for the City Hall The company had previously offered | to install fifty new electric arc lights and one hundred additional Welabuh gas lamps. The Light Committee began an ln- quiry into the complaint of Lyon & Hoag against alleged excessive charges | made by the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company for installing electric | light service in a residence on Duhoce avenue. L. Naphtaly, superintendent of the company, said he would investi- gate the complaint and if the charge is too high it will be reduced. The committee granted the petition ! of the French colony that the City Hall dome be lighted on the night of July 14 in commemoration of the fall of the Bastile.
