Press Club men who never before had journeyed as far as Idora Park marveled that such a gem of a place should have existed so long and they not availed themselves of its charms.

In to the construction of resi- denceés the provisions of the ordinances | ill be strict enough to insure safety without imposing unnecessary burdens ipon the owners. | Under the old ordinance a building permit was required, the fee for which was paid into the town treasury, but | th was no official to see that the| ovisions of the ordinance were ob- | by the contractors. The new | ordinance, besides appointing a building spector and prescribing his duties, makes a fee for a permit obliga ry, but this fee goes to the inspector | to compensate him for looking after | the interests of the town. The cost ce { | of the permit is practically the { under the new ordinance as under the | old one. with the exception of the | added one for the imspection of chim- | neys. | The matter of proper building regu-j lations is of prime importance and will be given the most caseful considera- tion. The advice of experts in con- struction work will be secured in or- der that no mistakes be made. — 2 The News Letter this week contains much that is exclusive news in insu: ance matters and of paramount inter- est to the policy-holders and the com- panies.

Hur- riedly put together, it is quite possible | that it will contain sections which will | be contradictory. That it contains sec- | tions which, will arouse opposition is known, and this opposition will be made manifest when the public is given | a chance to talk. | Although it was originally intended {to make some change in the fire limits, particularly to include a large territory | south of Market street, by the inser- | tion of a section which allows the con- | struction of buildings with heavy tim- {bers for factories and machine shops, the old fire limits as established in 1903 remain intact. | Fees for granting permits show a de- | clded increase. Under the old ordinance | the fee for a building to cost from $500 | to 51000 is §1. “The proposed ordinance will make the fee $2, and there is al- | most a fout | Buildings are divided Into class A, B, | C (mill construction) and frame.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. “PALO ALTO, June 16.—The city plumbing department has completed the laying of the Alma street water six and eight inch main and water has been turned on. The main extends-the entire length of the city from Palo Alto avenue to the Embarcadero road. The new main replaces a two-inch pipe which for years had been inadequate to supply the growing population of that portion of the city and had madg the risk from fire doubly great. The new main furnishes adequate facilities for both domestic and fire purposes. “This is the beginning of a plan to enlarge the water system of the city,” Trustee Carey announces. “We recog- nize that with the present facilities the risk from fire is very great. A two-inch main cannot supply a volume of water large enough to do effective work at a fire. It requires at least a six or eight inch flow. “This is one of the matters that will receive first™attention when the money from the bonds becomes available. There will be $10,000 for water and {light extensions and we propose to replace the small mains as fast as pos- sible. A great deal of this work will be done this summer. “We aim to make the town as safe as possible against fire, both by en- larging the mains and placing more powerful machinery at the water and light plant. We have ordered one chemieal fire engine, which will be here in a few days, and we may find it ad- visable to get another in the near fu- ture.” Wijth these precautions the town should be reasonably safe and the rate of insurance should be materially 150, Foresters of America: Chief rang- er, Joseph Pereira; subchief ranger, Otto Anderson; senior woodward, Wal- ter Rutherford; junior woodward, C.

It has prevented, says Dr. O. C. Kucich, au- topsy . surgeon for Coronmer Walsh, a great number of people from quitting ! the world via the suicide route. Before the earthquake and fire the Morgue was the depositary of an s.v<i ecrage of from ten to twelve suicides | ch week. Many of these unfortu- | nates came from the dance halls of the | Barbary Coast, some from the higher class tenderloin ‘resorts along Ellis and Mason streets, ind others from all parts of the residence section of the city. Love affairs, discourage- ments and financial reverses seemed to Ye the principal causes for leaving the wgas jets open or swallowing a goodly dose of carbolic acid. There have been only three suicides. since the earthquake® These sixty | days would, had it not been for the disaster, been productive of about | ninety suicidal deaths, according to | the average made out in the Coroner’s office. Yet only three have decided to | call curtains on their life's play—onei by gas, one by carbolic acid and one by the loaded pistol route. “It_is the work people are doing,” declares Dr. Kueich, “that keeps their minds off their troubles. Many people lived a hand-te-mouth existence be- fore the fire, living on -their badies and brains, who now are doing manual labor. They forget little troubles and | disappointments that formerly would ‘have led them to enter a drug store and purchase a carbolic acid ticket for | the other world. ' Suicides are now rare, where before the quake they were the commonest cases we had. In- stead of the quake scaring the life out of these people it has scared the life | into them.” —_— Geary-Street Cables All Right.
