Hou favorably on the inclusion of | the 5 per cent rate increase in the| average daily attendance of children | in public schools in the measure to| provide appropriations for the next| school year. State Superintendent | Kirk, after at first' placing the rate nf] |increase at 3 per cent, then agreed| with Assistant Superintendent Oliver | of San Francisco that 4 per cent was | the correct figure, and today put in no opposition to 5 per cent upon the pre- sentation of records by Roncovieri. ’ Both Roncovieri and Oliver ap- peared before the education committee today with State Superintendent Kirk Roncovieri produced the records of | twenty-seven schools in the unburned | |section of San Francisco, showing that | it iner. e in average daily attend- | {ance over last year is a trifle over | per cent. A telegram was received | from Deputy Superintendent Webster reporting that the additional records lof three more schools left this average | unchar ged. There are forty schools left | |in San Francisco, but the figures on |the thirty were taken by the commit- tee as a fair indication of the increase in the attendance at the others. The committee then figured that the | attendance in the burned sections of the city the last year had not increased as rapidly as. the residence portion remaining, and decided the recom- mendation of a 5 per cent increase in the appropriation over last year. This rate was practically upon by State Superintendent when he was in San Franc the sub-committee of the f forty that was framing school leg- ation. Upen his return to Sacra- nento, however, he found that for the vears preceding last year the rate 2% per cent, and| agreed | Kirk | sco before | ease was bu it was upon this record that he based | his first figures. STATE SHOWS FAITH. Will Spend Half Million in Building in San Francisco. SACRAMENTO, June 7.—California’s nate has risen to the inspiration held in the thought that San Francisco, torn though she be by earthquake and blackened by fire, is a city imperial and eternal. All of the eloguence of the upper house was. freed this morning in support of the bill providing for the construction in the destroyved metropo- lis of the Pacific of a butlding that shall |stand as a monumen: to the unshaken aith of the State. When all was said the bill was passed and half a million dollars had been set aside with which to begin the construction of a palace of steel and stone that shall be Califor- | nia’s temple of law in the mother city. | When the bill wae called for final ge Lukens of Alameda proposed amendment. While strongly favor- the bill, he said, 1t was his opinion should be enlarged upon; that stead of $500, propriated $75 with which to be- tion of three buildings, Supreme and Appeliate nd the Superior courts if need another to house the executive com- of the State, and another for Guard. These sums, he said, need be but preliminary, for Sub- | sequent Legislatures could appropriate more and insure the completion of thfee | buildings that would stand through the | ages. | Senator - Shortridge eloquently sup- ported the bill and opposed the amend- | ment. “Perhaps,” he said, “‘San Fran- | cisco would want to donate a site for the sflendid building the State pro- D ect, and this would necess tate a constitutional amendment to en- able s of the metropolis to vance. However, the unamended, for its patent ahd no man through- State wjll understand it., not be 10ng ere the seven Francisco are again nd towers; her streets will again throb with life and the commerce of the world will ride the waters of her harbor. Let us now show to all the world that our faith is | boundless and eternal and vote this gold as a pledge of our f: % nator Wolfe also spoke in favor of the bill in its original form, and while | he said he appreciated the splendid mo- tive that prompted the amendment proposed by Senator Lukens, he deemed inadvisable at this time that the ap- propriation be incteased. Wolfe's po- sition was supported by Keane, and then the call for the vote on the amend- ment was made. The amendment twas | defeated, but the bill went through un- | | { the bill purpos out <!m¥l'd pass the will hills of opposed. Tomorrow the Assembly will consider the measure, and while there is some difference of opinion there as | to its merits, it is believed there will | be no man there to offer serious opposi- tion to the bill which means so much to San Francisco in this the hour of her extremity.

It is understood that the gentlemen who compose the San Francisco dele- gation will deliberate also with Mr. Harriman and find out definitely from him what the Southern Pacific intends to do in view of the promises volun- | teered by the railroad magnate con- cerning the upbuilding of the city. | The delegation, it is understood, is| empowered to make suggestions while in the East, which, it is hoped, will be | in harmony with the-various railroad | g interests. and to this end will also in- terview George Gould of the Western Pacific Railroad, realizing that all| forces should be united in the com- | mon cause of reconstruktion. James D. Phelan was to have gone East with the delegation, but it was| decided later that it was advisable for him to remain in San Francisco, and | President Wheeler was chosen to fill his place and on Wednesday decided to join the delegation. | | ke o NEW DFFICERS ARE ELECTED 0dd Fellows and Rebekabs Choose Leaders for the Year.
