H PABK CQMMISSIONERS HOLD REGULAR SESSION Poles for Extension of Electric Rafl- way on Fulton Street, From Twen~ ty-Fourth Avenue to Ocean. The Board of Park Commissioners held a regular session Friday after- | noon, President A. B. Spreckels presid- ing. Commissioners Dingee, Metsdn and Cummings were present. The re- port of Superintendent McLaren for | the month of November gave a list of ufilets on a charge of grand | men and teams employed on all branches of park work. Reference was made to the progress of improvements at Mission Park, Alta Plaza and Buena Vista Park. Manager Chapman of the United Railroads addressed the board, setting forth the purpose of the company to extend the electric rallway on Fulton street, from Twenty-fourth to Forty- eighth avenue, near the ocean. He asked the judgment of the board in the matter of placing the poles, saying that the company would be guided by the wishes of the Park Commission. He remarked that the placing of the poles on the park line or inside of the line would give a wider driveway 'on the street and enhance the view of the thoroughfare. The construction would | be the same as that on Oak street, an ornamental construction of iron poles, Permission to place the poles on or | near the park line, but not inside of it, | was granted, with the distinct under- | standing that the line should be desig- nated by Superintendent McLaren. A communication was received from | the Park Commissioners of Los Ange- les, wherein cordial acknowledgment was made of the gift of two pairs of elks from Golden Gate Park. ———————— Vacates Naturalization Paper. Judge Lawlor, on motion of United States Districy Attorney Devlin, made an order yesterday that the certificate | admitting Omund Svendsen to citizen- ship be vacated and set aside. The cer- tificate was lssued by the late Judge Borden on October 1, 1398, on Svend- sen’s declaration that he had resided in this country for five years. Svendsen admitted in an affidavit that he had been only three years and six months in the country, which was known to Frank Johnson and John P. Hansen, the witnesses. ——e—————— OPPOSES OVERHEAD TROLLEYS.—The Bullding Trades Council yesterday forwarded to the Superyisors its resolutions opposing an trolley system as proposed on Sutter, Market and other streets. overhead Polk, | cited to appear before Judge Murasky Tues- | Loring’s_brother, STHNITZ WIL | B PRONDTED | Gossips Say Mayor’s Brother | May Secure Park Superin- tendent McLaren’s Place LYNCH TO LAND PLUM Employe of Abe Ruef Stands Good Chance of Being Clerk of Board of Supervisors It being the general understanding that | | Herbert Schmitz, the brother of Mayor Schmite, who is now secretary of the Park Commission, is sure of being pro- moted to a better position, the political | gossips are figuring that he will eventu- ally succeed John McLaren as Superin- tendent of the Parks. McLaren has in-| | curred the displeasure of Ruef and | Schmitz on account of his affillation with the Republican League. The gossips rea- son that Herbert’ Schmitz has acquired considerable experience in the adminis- tration of park affairs, and the fact that | his salary would be doubled as superin- tendent would be an incentive for his | promotion. It is certain that Herbert will land & | more lucrative plum, and some other po- sition of equal dignity may be his if he does not get the park superintendency, | which McLaren may after all hold on to despite what has been sald. | As soon as the place for HerBert has been picked out it is on the cards for James de Succa to reassume his old place as secretary of the Park Commission, from which he voluntarily resigned in or- der to%make a place for Herbert, who made a graceful exit as Commissioner of | Public Works nearly a year ago. De Succa is now storekeeper of the Board of #Sducation, and his transfer will make an- | other position available for the adminis- tration to filt The man who now appears to have \the | inside track for the clerkship of the | Board of Supervisors appears trom all in- | dications to be Edward Lynch, a clerk iln Abe Ruef’s office. Both Ruef and | Schmitz desire George Keane, the Mayor's secretary, tp accept the place, but Keane sidestepping the desire. Keane has other political aspirations, notably that of being a Superior Judge, and he thinks that a clerkship would not lend dignity | to his ambitions. George Boyne, who | has been mentioned for the place, has been told that he will continue to shine as secretary of the Police Commission. It is understood that Albert M. Arm- strong, who once had an ambition to succeed Langdon as Superintendent of | Schools, will be attorney for Public Ad- ministrator-elect Joseph Stulz, now that | Alfred Roncovieri, ‘president of the Board | of Education, seems reasonably sure of | | the first named appointment. Roncovieri says he has not been asked to take the superintendency, but if his country calls him to serve in that capacity he will | cheerfully obey the call. It is said that the Ruef-Schmitz com- | bination is negotiating for the purchase | of a local evening newspaper, and if the | deal goes through School Director Boyle will resign and assume the management of the journal. Boyle would probably be | appointed to some $100 a month commis- | sionership, and might resume his former place on the Election Commission or some similar post. There would thus be two vacancies on the School Board to flll. All sorts ©f rumors are flying about as | to probable appointees under the new regime. It is eaid that the successor as secretary of the Civil Service Commission to Edward Moran, who will be appointed Civil Service Commissioner, has been se- | lected, but his name is kept secret. It is sald that George Benham, now Chief Deputy Tax Collector, will be the man. €ivil Service Commissioner Willlams was | after the place, but it is sald has given | | up the fight. John G. Fitzgerald s certain of being rewarded, and a courtroom clerk- ship may be in store for him.
