Mayor 8ays Supervisors Will Desig- nate Place Where Municipal Branches Are to Be Located. Resignation of Patrolman Burkholder, who Was to Have Been Dismissed From Position, Is Accepted. At yesterday’s meeting of the Police bul- | | Commission = Commissioner Reagan | suggested that President Poheim and Chief Dinan be delegated to arrange | for suitable temporary quarters for a city prison and police headquarters. He thought the most suitable location would be Portsmouth square. The ob- jection to Union square was that build- ing operations on an extensive scale would commence around the square soon and all the available space would be required for building material. T! objection did not apply to Ports- mouth square. The cost of a tem- porary building would not exceed two or three months’ rent for a building to be leased. Commissioner O’Grady said he had spoken to the Mayor on Thursday night at the request of the chief as | to erecting a building on Union square and the Mayor said he would give the matter full consideration in a day or two. The Police Department would have to go where the Board of Supervisors decided, the Mayor said. He prom- ised to lay Commissioner Reagan’s suggestion before the Mayor and the matter was dropped. Chief Dinan was seen after the meeting and he is of the same opin- ion that Union square is the suitable location. Portsmouth square, he says, is too far away at the pres- ent time, A letter was read from Policeman W. H. Burkholder from Lodi tendering his resignation. He left the city on the day of the earthquake with his wife without natifying his superior of- ficer. The Commissioners had made | up their minds to compel him to stand | his trial and to dismiss him from the force, but on second thought they de- cided to accept his resignation. The board went into executive ses-| sion after the open meeting. The sub- ject under discussion was the is ance of permits to sell liguor. Under arter permits have to be issued it unsettled condition the s adopted that all holders in standing would receive their| permits at the proper time. President Poheim and Commissioner O’Grady wanted to place themselves| on record that any holder of a license violating the recent order not to sell even soft drinks within their prem- s would not réceive their votes for a ren l.

Differing Views as to the . Percentage That Will Be Paid. NEW YORK, May 4—A return flow of the millions of dollars sent to the Pacific Coast during the past fort- |night has set in. The National City Bank was today advised that its cor- respondent at Oakland has arranged to transfer $500,000 by telegraph to this cily, and other banks and financial institutions have received similar ad- vices. Some fire insyrance men, frightened by the losses in San Francisco, started an agitation yesterday to make the form of insurance econtracts more rigid. A president of one of the big companies was approached by a man | who wants the contracts in the future {to read that losses caused only by earthquake cannot be recovered. In | other words, no insurance would be paid on a fire loss which was caused by a fire started in some other struct- |ure by an earthquake: of such restrictions belng placed in |contracts,” sald the president. “You | might as well except losses indirectly «due to tornadoes or. blizzards. New York might have burned up at the time of the great blizzard, but it would not have been right to have such a situa- | tion invalidate the insurance,” Several telegrams were received yes- (terday from officials and representa- | jtives of insurance companies who have | reached San Francisco. One expressed the opinion that the companies would not get rid of more than 15 per cent | © their liabilities from the burned dis- | | trict through the action of the earth- | _nu..ke Other estimates ranged from | that to 40 per cent. | Nothing definite was decided yester- | day on the proposition that the com- panies get together and pay about 60! |per cent of the claims within thirty | | days, rather than have long litiga- tion over them.

Destruction of Pa- pers Cause of Delay. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Australian service will be resumed May 381, when the liner Sonoma will take her departure for Honolulu, Pago Puago, Auckland and Sydney. The Sonoma will carry a largé num- ber of passengers for Honolulu and some are already booked for the Anti- podes. The Ventura, also in port, will follow the Sonoma on a date which will be duly advertised. The Sonoma’s detention in port was one of the many disarrangements re- sulting from the earthquake and fire. In the first place the British-Austra- lian malls, on their way here when the disaster occurred, were diverted to British Columbia and sent to Austra- jlia by one of the Union Steamship Ccmpany’s liners. The fire, which destroyed both the passenger and freight offices of the Oceanic Steamship Company, reduced to charcoal the bills of lading and other papers necessary in the distri- bution at the various ports of call of the Sonoma’s cargo. Records, without which it would have been useless for the vessel to sail, had to be dupli- cated. As the records were numerous and the data vague and difficult of ac- cess from which the new ones were made the task was a long one, No time has been lost, however, and on May 81 the Sonoma will leave here Just as if there never had been an carthquake and the affairs of the com- pany will be running as smoothly as it is possible for any business to be conducted under the present disturbed conditions. —_——————— MAKES REPORT ON THE BUDGET In a communiecation from the Audi- tor to the Board of Supervisors the amount of last year's budget, $6,000,- 000, was given on which to base the estimate for the coming year.
