Bargo, who says he is a detective from San Francisco, has ap- | pealed to the local police for their aid. Bargo says he is on a secret mission to Portland. He arrived here several days ago and secured a room on Fourth street. Last Saturday morning he woke up late and was overcome with horror to find his gun, handcuffs and other valuables miss- ing. A fellow lodger loaned him a pair of trousers, and in his-borrowed nether raiment Bargo appeared at the police sta- tion in the hope that at least his badge of office could be recovered. In order that a trap might be laid for the thieves no publicity was given the affair for a time, but many hours n?e sped since the al- Mc apd Miss Prahar as Eliante and Arsi- ere noe are eligible.

Deputy Registrar Zemansky explained to the Finance Committee that the au- tomobiles used for the election, for which bills amounting to $910 have been presented, were absolutely neces- sary and were used in the main by members of the Grand Jury. The com- mittee directed the clerk to Inquire into the charges ,made by the automo- bile companies al the rate of $30 a day and $35 per night for automobiles. The | bill for $225 of an expert on voting ma- chines was also held up for further in- | quiry. The resolution awarding the contract for printing 1000 or more coples of the report of Architect D. H. Burnham, prepared for the Adornment Associa- tion of San Francisco, to the H. 8. Crocker Company at §$1831 for 1000 books and $298 for each additional 500 books was rereferred to the Printing Committee. J. H. Barry protested against the contract going to the Crocker Company, claiming that his bld was lower and he should be awarded the contract. It was decided that Barry and the other bidders should sub- mit samples of thelr work to the com- mittee. The Printers’ Board of Trade presented a petition that new bids be favited for the work. The Commercial Publishing Company also flled a pro- test, as it is the lowest bidder. The board, on recommendation of the Finance Committee, decided not to pay the claim of the Sharon Estate Company for refund of taxes in the sum of $2912 22, {llegally collected on an assessment upon New Montgomery street, until the company gives a deed to the city for the land comprising the street named. The board decided not to offer any more municipal bonds for sale, as the | present Board of Supervisors will retire from office in six weeks. This was brought out when the petition of the Mount Vernon Improvement Club, ask- ing that bonds be sold for the con- struction of sewers in the Southwest District of the city, was read. The ordinance limiting the speed of street cars to ten, twelve and fifteen miles an hour in certain designated dis- tricts and prescribing the kind of | brakes with which the cars shall be equipped was finally passed. Similar action was taken with the | resolution authorizing the payment of $8500 to the estate of the late C. S. Tilton in payment of a judgment claim. GEARY-STREET ROAD PLANS.
