ENGINE-HOUSES 10 BE OF BRICK: Qupernsors Announce Defi-| nite Policy Against An\ More Wooden - Struetures Risis " nen The Supervisors’ Finance Committee has decided that it will not countenance frame buildings for firehouses. The | announcement was made during con- sideration of the request of the Fire Committee that $4000 be set aside in the next budget to build an addition tc the fire engine-house on Twentieth street, near Connecticut. The sum of $4000 is to be expended at once for a wooden building. - Chief Shaughnes: said a brick building would cost $25,000. The committee thought the lot should be purchased by the city, it having been leased for the purpose. The Board | of Works was then requested to file| plans both for brick and wooden build- | | irgs on the Twentieth street lot and also on the site at Twenty-sixth and Point Lobos avenues, on both of which firehouses are to be constructed. It is desired to ascertain the comparative cost of wooden and brick buildings. | The Finance Committee postponed | | ecnsideration of the street sweeping and sprinkling bills until January next. | Expert Williams filed a report showing | that in July the sum of $21.844 92 was expended, in August $22,667 37, and in| September $19,264 The committee will also investigate as to whether it shall audit demands for wages for this | service. | The recommendation of the corfimit- | tee that the ordinance submitted by the Merchants’ Association regulnung‘ the safe operation of sidewalk elevators be passed to print was ratified by the | board. The ordinance was amended to| provide that before the:elevator doors | or gratings are opened removable metal | guards consjsting of four metal posts. three feet in height shall be inserted | in sockets in the sidewalks at the four, corners of such .doors, connected by | chains or bars so that all sides of the openings shall be guarded except the side next to the curb- Tax Collector Smith urged the com- mittee to adopt a resolution to m&rk! excess taxes on unsecured personal | property involving the payment of less | than 2 cents as pald on the assessment books. Smith explained that the !Axe!' were collected under the old rate of | 1903, whereas the rate for 1904 was 1.8 cents more. It would necessitate send- ing notices to" 25,000 householders who would owe the city less than 2 cents, and the expense of collection would be more than the sum of $8802 to be col- lected. The committee was favorable | to the plan but postponed action for | one week. B. Hayes was cited to Appe-r next Monday to explain his bill of $330 !or‘ moving sixteen voting machines. The committee sent a lettér to Au-! ditor Baehr asking him if he intends to appeal the case of the health em- i ployes who recovered ts against the city. " The petition of F. D.
