Instead of these misleading ! geographical terms the bureau will use “Mountain,” ‘“Valley” and “Coastal” ‘as more conveniently describing the | climatic belts of the State. | The decision of the Weather Bureau | is a result of correspondence with the | California Promotion Committee, | which suggested that inasmuch as | the climate conditions in California were different from those of other | States, the usual nomenclature of the bureau describing the climate in the | different States would not apply in | California. Geographical terms may | be misleading in describing California climates. Climate in California is not | determined by the distance north and | south as it is on the Atlantic seaboard, | but by the distance east and west, by altitude and distance from the ocean. ‘What is known by the Weather Bu- reau as the “Orange-Growing Thermal Belt,” extends from San Diego County on the south almost to the base of | Mt. Shasta on the north, a distance of 700 miles. The mean annual tempera- ture in this belt is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

The report contaigs a statement showing that the allowance for the hospital in 1900-1 was $87,600; in 1901-2, $101,560; in 1902-3, $110,000; in 1903-4, $122,000, and in 1904-5, $144,100. The committee declares that the Health Board is not handicapped by a smaller fund than its predecessors. The report con- tinues: The hudget of 1904-5 allows the City and County Hospital $12,200 for maintenance and $8100 for repairs in excess of the budget al- lowances of 1003-4, and $28,200 for maintena: and $11,000 for repairs in excess of the budget allowances of 1902-3. Your committee also reminds your honorable body that during the past fiscal year the Board of Health, in direct violation civil service provisions of the chartsr, ap- pointed an officer with the title of deputy warden and custodian, In order to safeguard the civil service sys- tem the Finance Committes recommended an itemization of the hospital fund, segregating | the fund for salaries from the allowance for maintenance. Thereupon the above-named official ceased to be a deputy warden and cus- todian and became a head ward tender. There would be no special interest in this were it not that the salary of the head ward tender (31500 a year) is taken improperly from the | fund allowed for maintenance, and diminishes the fund avallable for vegetables and fruits by $1500. Grades were ordered changed and es- tablished on Bache, Porter, Roscoe and Benton streets. The Board of Works reported that | it would be compelled to lay off a number of mechanics in the Bureau of Building unless an additional allow- ance of $5000 is made. The petition was referred to the Finance Commit- tee. as well as the one for $576 addi- tional to an appropriation of $10,000 to build an engine house on Twenty- sixth avenue and 3500 to make altera- tions in the secretary’s office. A petition of the West of Castro Club that Twenty-third street be- tween Diamond and Douglass be made passable was referred to the Street Committee. The club says it has ap- pealed in vain to the Board of Works | to afford relief. The City Attorney was asked for an | opinion whether the ecity is liable for the expense of paving Point Lobos avenue with bitumen. The Board of Works was authorized to expend-the sum of $4500 to com- struct a concrete parapet on grade from the beach to the Cliff House. The width of sidewalks on Califor- nia street from Presidio avenue to Thirty-third avenue was fixed at fif- teen feet. —_—— To Distribute Bliss Estate. George D. Bliss Jr., as administra- tor of the estate of his father, George D. Bliss, who died in February, 1902, yesterday filed a final account and pe< titioned for a distribution of the es- tate, which is valued at nearly $400,- 000. Nearly all of the property is in extensive ranch lands in Tulare, San Mateo, Merced and Madera counties, and through the purchase of the in- terest of the other heirs the greater | portion of the estate will go to Qeorge | and Richard O. Bliss, his brother. The | young men deeded the San Francisco home to their mother and contracted to pay her $40,000 in money for her share. Agreements have also been made with the daughters, Helen M.

Tilton Must Be Compensated for Services Rendered as Engineer | By the decision of Judge Troutt, | rendered yesterday in a written opin- ion, C. B. Tilton is to receive $8500 and interest for services performed for the city and county more than a dozen years ago. Tilton was City and County Surveyor in 1891 and 1892. By resolution of the Supervisors, in January, 1901, he was directed to make an investigation and report upon | a sewer outlet for Richmond District. After the report was made he was in- | structed to prepare plans and speci- fications for the construction of the | system; and when the plans were ac- - cepted he was then directed to pre- pare the usual diagrams of the prop- erty affected by the proposed sewer. | These duties were those of a “city engineer” and no such office then ex- | isting the board was empowered to | employ the services necessary. Upon the result of Tilton’s labors a | contract for building the system was ' awarded to the Callfornia Bridge Company and afterward declined for ! the reason (held invalid by Troutt) that the State law did not provide for the construction of sewers through private property. After the expiration of Tilton’s term | of office the contract was rescinded and new specifications were ordered made by the new City Engineer, Fitz- hugh. In a sult brought by Fitshugh, | in which the point was involved, the | Supreme Court held that Tilton might be entitled to compensation for his services whether he had a legal remedy or not. On the strength of this decision ' Judge Troutt holds that Tilton is en- titled to recover and that the objection that he could not claim compensation for services performed while he was Surveyor is not tenable. It is also held that the constitutional amend~ ment empowering the payment of cer- . tain unpaid claims for certain fiscal | years applies to this claim. ‘When you have an aversion to food it is an indication that you should take Lash's Kidney Bitters, L] s . and Liver fiuflir?gtnn Route THRO’ SERVICE Relieves the Passenger of Every Little Worry About His Trip And that’s the service which the Burlington offers at no additienal cost to all who are going in our high- class Tourist sleeping cars (personally conducted) to Omaha, Chicago, St. Joseph, St. Louis, the intermediate points; thence to the farther East or Southeast. route lies across Great Salt Lake, and thro’ the most wonderful of the scenic Rockies, with glimpses of Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Colorado Springs and For full information just send me this eoupon.

CURED OF FLOATING XIDNEY BY ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY. | , The Elactro.Chemic treatment has & wonder- ful curative effcat special diseases of women. It cures these bad diseases when the crdinary medical treatments do them no good. | It cures bad cases that are turned over to the surgeon for treatment by the family doctor because the family doctor falls to cure them | with medicines. There is too much surgiosl treatment upon women. Electro-Chemistry is taking the place of surgery In very serious | cases. and is curing thess bad cases quickly. | Painlessly and cheaply, thus saving suffering | women the horrors and dangers and the grest | expense of surgical treatment. No womam should consent to the use of the knife until she has at least investigated what this won- | dertul new Electro-Chemic treatment will do | for her. Right here in San Francisco, many | h2ppy women have been cured by Biectro- Chemistry after having been told that surgery was the only treatment that comld cure them. Many have given public testimonials of their cures. To all suffering women, the Hlectro- Chemic specialists extend a cordial invitation to come for a thorough Electro-Chemic exami- Dation free of chargs. This examination will at least tell what can be dome and whether or not surgical treatment must be resorted to. This examination is free and in many serious cases it will show the sufferers a pleasant way to health and strength and save them from the knife. All sufferers are mnvited to call at the Electro-Chemic Institute for free col tation and examination. Electro-Chemistry is the surest, safest, quickest and therefore the | cheapest freatment known for the cure of catarrh, consumption, asthma, bronchitis, | deafness, ringing ears, cancers, tumors, | eczema, blood poison, skin disgases, rheus matism. neuralgia, locomotor ataxis, paral sls, dizziness, fainting spells, speelal dis~ eases of men—stricture, varicocele, loss af strength, nerve exbaustion, etc. The Electra- | Chemic home treatment is the most successful | because the patient is loaned, free of charge, & | complete Electro-Chemic apparatus with whiel | the treatment is applied at home. Those per= sons living at a distance who can conveni- ently call for the personal examination should do so. In the majority of cases the patient can return home the same day, taking the necessary treatment along. Those who cannot possibly come for the personal examination should write a careful deseription of thetr symptoms and receive, free of charge, full in- structions for home examimation and treat ment. The Electro-Chemic Institute is the only institution of this character on She Pacific Coast and 1s centrally located at 113 Gramt avenue, corner of Post street, San Franciseo, Cal.
