Two more suits for the recovery of | collateral inheritance tax, paid to the City and County Treasurer under pro- | test, were begun yesterday by Garoutte & Goodwin, attorneys, who recent- ly sued to regain the tax paid by the | Levi Strauss estate. One of the ac- ! tions is for B. T. McBain, assignee of the heirs of the late Henry Pierce, who on July 12 last paid $32,907 71 into th: public treasury under pro- |test, and the other is for Charles R. ’.Allen representing Gertrude Allen, heiress of Edgar L. Allen, who paid $5189 13 tax on her inheritance.

The report states that while the appropriation of the office was the same as the year before the business has greatly increased. Street improvements aggregating $586,343 54 in cost were made and the classes referred to the bureau for report has been about 50 per cent. | The re from fees for lot surveys | have increased over $3000. The re- | port_continues: “The miserable condition of our sewers will in a measure be remedied by the recent bond issue. One of the | worst cases, that of Sixth street, was | not provided for and more money has | been spent for cleaning the sewer on the one block between Folsom and | Harrison streets than would pay for a new one. Some attention should be given to the matter of securing rights of way for drainage purpos “The specifications for asphalt pave- ment should be so changed as to al- low the use of California oil asphalts when of proper quality, they having proved very satisfactory for pave- | ments. Your attention is called to the | damage resulting to pavements from | their improper use. Ordinances should | be passed at once providing for the use of springs on trucks, regulating the tire widths, limiting loads and providing for a more thorough inspec- tion of pavement repairs. “Among the various important mat- | ters is the establishment and change ‘of official grades. An appropriate charter amendment will be prepared by this bureau to simplify the method in order that we may be able to ac- tually change the grade of a street as well as to effect a change upon paper. “Another subject for a bond issue would be the widening of Sansome | street from Jackson mnortherly to the ba his would furnish a much de- sired means of approach to the water front and relieve congested traffic. The property to befcquired could be taken fromsthe western side of the street where the improvements are of small value. The necessity for a prop- er bridge over theg Southern Pacific Railroad at San Jose and Mount Ver- non avenues is apparent to any one who goes to Ocean View. It is hoped | that an appropriation for the im- | provement will bé made in the next budget. ‘After all the years of endeavor, the thousands of dollars spent, the engag- ing of special engineers, the work in the field and in the office, the visits to Washington, the memorial to Con-| gress, it would seem that the acquisi- tion of water rights on the Tuolumne River as a source of municipal water supply is farther away than it was | hoped when the subject was first con- templated. The decision of Secretary | Hitchcock denying the applieation of an Francisco’ for reservoir sites at Hetch Hetchy Valley and Lake Elea- nor is based upon an unexpected rea- son, for it is difficult to understand why San Francisco should be refused | its’absolutely needed water supply be- cause of the construction of two reser- voirs or lakes in the summit of the Sierras taking up less than four | square miles of the 1500 square miles of the National Park.” —_———— Van Den Bergh Diamonds. Judge Seawell, who has had the case under submission, yesterday de- cided in favor of the defendant in the | suit of Harriet P. Van den Bergh against Albert Van den Bergh for the recovery of $2500 worth of diamonds. The plaintiff was the wife of Dr. John P. P. Van den Bergh, but was divorced | from him about a year and a half | before his death, which occurred five years ago. After his death the doc- | tor's son, Albert, took a safe cortain- | ing the jewels and claimed it as his! own. Mrs. Van den Bergh contended | that her husband had given her the | diamonds in Sacramento in 1874, a| short time after their marriag fore their divorce she the gems and they were put in the safe.

Mr. and Mrs. C. W. McLaughlin of San Leandro, who are anxious to adopt the abandoned babe, visited the San Francisco Foundling Asylum yes- terday. The eouple were drawn to the pretty little fellow at first sight. The baby cooed when Mrs. McLaughlin took it in her arms, and she could hardly bear to give it back to the nurse. The Mc- Laughlins wanted to take the child away with them, but certain formali- ties must be complied with before they | can obtain possession of the infant. McLaughlin is station master at San Leandro, and he has one of the pret-| tiest little homes in the State. He and his wife have long wanted a child to fill a vacant place in the house. When they read the story of the waif they | decided to take the little foundling and | rear it as their own. Mre. McLaughlin is impatient to get possession of the litile one, and will| probably remain in town until she does. The law reads that she must wait ten days, but an exception may bé made in this case.
