Fire Commissioner Parry has writ- ten a statistical letter to Mayor Schmitz regarding Secretary McCar- thy's report on the cost of shoeing Fire Department horses. The secre- tary's figures were that the cost of shoeing is $1 77 a horse. Commenting on the figures the Commissioner says that the outlay by the city has been larger than reported. He concludes his communication with the following intends to con- statements: Secretary McCarthy's m vey the impression that 71 for ealaries, $1063 17 for material and $91 for fuel, maki: a total of $4742 88 was the total cost of sh ing all the horses of the department for the year, and on which he bases his average of all the expenses must be included, and to the above must be added $75 per month. or per year. for salary of the man who brings the horses from the varfous engine houses to the shop and returns them after being shod. Two horses and one wagon aré used in this work, for which $25 per month, or $300 per year, will be a very low figure: $15 per month, or $i80 per year, for power used in shop, to suy nothing of tools and apparatus ueed by thess employes; cost of 3539 shoes used in this fisca year and paid for out of the previous year's funds, $350. making a total of $1730 added to the $4742 88 making a total of $6472 88 for shoeing the department horses for the fiscal year 1903-4. The cost of this w&rok. as per bid of E. M. Graney, would be 1 horses with new | shoes at $2 50 per horse, $4125 25; and 102235 horses reset, $2045, making a total of $6171 25, or gain to the city of $301 63 by jetting the shoeing out by contract at these prices. ————— Kenney in Bad Weather, The bark C.

Wilson Is Wanted by the Police on a Charge of Felony Embezzlement WARRANT IS SWORN TO Alleged That He Was Paid Deposits on Property He Had Nothing to Do With The police are searching for Henry . Wilson, who, it is alleged, has been | representing himself as real estate agent at 113 Geary ltreerand obtain- ing money on sales of property for whose owners he had no authority to act. A warrant was issued yesterday for his arrest by Police Judge Fritz on a charge of felony embezziement, the complaining witness being Ern B. Zimmer, 29 Eddy street, who is con- nected with the Porto Rico Cigar Company. | Zimmer says that the property at| 423 Hyde street was for sale and he called upon Wilson on July 11. Wil- son represented that he was the agent for the sale of the property, and, as Zimmer was anxious to purchase it, Wilson induced him to hand over to him $75 as part payment on the de- posit. | Zimmer happened to see the owner of the property a few days ago and informed him of his payment of $75 ] to Wilson. The owner told Zimmer that Wilson had no authority to act as his agent and that the property had been sold. The owner also said that another man had paid $500 to Wilson had been deceived in the same way. Zimhmer called at Wilson's office, but was unable to find him and it is sup- | posed that he has either left the city | or moved to another location. ! It has also transpired that Wilsor | called at the Hibernia® Bank about July 11, representing that he had been 1 sent by his attorney to borrow the P abstract of title to the property for a | few hours.
