It is stated that a third reduction in salaries is contemplated. This will reduce salaries below the| living wage and many of the most brilllant men in the university fac- ulty may be forced to move from Berkeley, It is known that a score of the ablest professors have standing offers from Eastern universities and the fear 1s expressed that they will find it nec- essary to accept. A plan suggested by which the oid- er men of the faculty may be retained contemplates the restriction of the curriculum to the essentials only, The pruning knife may be applied to the frills. The high graduate courses would be eliminated and the course of study made to resemble that of ten years ago. The agricultural and mining col- leges derive part of their support from the Government and would not be impaired in efficlency. In view of the increasing demand for engineers the sclentific colleges would be al- lowed to continue without, change. The Lick Observatory, the philosophy department, the department of Orien- tal languages and several other di- visions of university work are pro- vided for by special foundations and ‘would not be affected by the proposed forelgn languages, English lterature and the like will be placed upon & mere skeleton basis. It is considered possible that the teaching force in the culture colleges may be cut it half. This disaster comes to the univer sity when it was rapidly expanding It certainly faces a critical year. —— State Normal School Reopens. OAKLAND, May 8—The Ban Fran- cisco Btate Normal School was re- opened yesterday at the common school assembly CISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, .M | | |of the bank's OFFICALS AL TUR BUILDERS Seaboard Bank Re- builtbylts Own Staff. Cartailment of Income IS\1nstitution Now Lo- cyted on the Wharf. The home of the Seaboard Bank, which was located in a new building near the foot of Market street, was <estroyed by the fire of April 18. The vaults are intact, but still buried be- neath tons of stone and twisted steel. The business of the Seaboard Bank has resumed, however, and is run- ning along briskly in a temporary home on the Mission-street wharf bulkhead. The new wooden home was constructed by the bank officials. The water front being practically uninjured by the fire the business of the port was interrupted only for a few days and to provide the needed shipping world it was necessary that the Seaboard Bank re-establish itself in some convenient place with as lit- tle delay as possible, Space was secured from the Harbor Commissioners and while the ruins former home still smoked Vice President Robert J. Ty- son doffed his summer tweeds for a suit of overalls and “got busy.” In the general confusion it was im- possible to get carpenters right away | 50 the staff of the Seaboard Bank put away pen and ink and, at the expense of stif backs and blistered hands, raised & new roof to shelter their business and won for themselves the distinction of being among the first to take practical part in the work of| rebuilding San Francisco. Vice President Tyson sawed lumber and drove nails like a master me- chanic. Assistant Cashier J. B. Hall, Paylng Teller C. J. Meherin and Clerks H. Peterson and H. C. Eschen gave thelr chief willing assistance and yesterday the sign, “Seaboard Bank”| in symmetrical letters of real gilt, was nailed over the door of as well a built frame shack as ever graced a water front bulkhead. The work finished overalls were put away, hands and faces scrubbed, blis-| ters carefully pricked and in the best clothes they had saved from the fire the members of the staff went out of the carpenter business and turned their attention to banking. g For the information of wharf rats, and enterprising burglars it might be well to state that no cash will be left in the bank overnight. Coin, all valu- able papers and the bank records will be moved at the close of business each day to the Mint. Burglary will be wasted effort and might attract the attention of the Boston's bluejacket guard. The work of clearing away the wreckage at the bank’s former loca- tion is proceeding rapidly and in a few weeks a new Seaboard Bank build- ing will be rising over the unharmed vaults now burled in debris. As soon as the new structure is habitable Market street will have at least one bank to mark its importance as the city’s maln artery, Signing your name to a friend’s note a bad sign.

OAKLAND, May 8—Owing to the recent disturbance of the affairs of the community County Clerk John P. Cook was forced to abandon his dates for the registering of voters through- out the eounty.

Since whose especial solicitude will be for the the fire the Health Board has had twelve machines in wuse. It is nmow proposed to save the city the cost of rental by supplying the Health Board with two machines and the Board of Supervisors with one at a cost not ex~ ceeding $5000 for the three. The Independence League filed a pe~ tition at Monday’s meeting of the Board at Mowry’s Hall, asking that the Supervisors urge the President and Con~ gress to give the city a site for s water reservoir at the headwaters of the Tuolumne river. The special Water Committes will act on the communmicas tion. Supervisor Kelly’s motion to suspend all pound laws for thirty days and stop the impounding of stray auimals with the exception of dogs, was referred e the Police Committee. The Publie Utilities Committes will consider the request of Polk street resi- dents for the rehabilitation of the Polle | and Sutter streets’ system. | It was decided by the Board thad complaints against the occupation of | unsafe buildings by property owners | should be sent to the Board of Publie Works. Residents in the vicinily of the | Pierce-Rudolph Storage Company om Eddy between Webster and Fillmore streets complain thdt the building is | unsafe and demand its removal. Petitions of several undertaking firms to establish temporary structures in cer~ tain residence sections of the city were ! granted by the Board. Residents in the neighborhood of 1618 Geary street have filed a protest with the Board against the erection of aa undertaking place at that number. I¥ was referred to the Committee on Hos~ pital and Health. Butehers’ Union, Loecal 115, has pro- tested to the Board against the city’s buying meat for public institutions from non-union firms. The matter was |referred to the Committee om Capital { and Labor. ! In response to requests by the Board, Tax Collector Nichols reports that he has fifteen deputies and twenty-two ex- tra clerks at work, having dismissed five extra clerks. The employees of City Engineer Woodward’s office are all retained. Assessor Dodge says that all extra clerks employed before the fire bave been dismissed. ————————— | Caterpillars Spoil Trees. | HEALDSBURG, May &—Reports {have been received from a number of | districts in this part of Sonoma Coun- ty to the effect that caterpillars ar destroying the leaves of fruit trees and seriously damaging all kinds of fruits which will be barvested in the county | this fall.
