Included in the items are four dfc-| tionaries and stands at $21 each. The| committee is wondering why the Works Board needs such expensive books and | thinks a 50-cent dictionary is sufficient | for the prosaic communications and resolutions indited by that body. Then | there are thirty desks at fancy prices, | including three at $150 each for the ‘Works Commissioners, which price the| committee considers exorbitant. | The committee also withheld pay ment on demands of the Boys' and Girls Ajd Society for the last five months, | aggregating $3903.35 for the care of boys of the institution.

Frank & Mansfield, attorneys for the complainant, sought to. establish by witnesses that the City of Puebla and cargo were of such value as to make $100,000 only a reasonable fee for sal- vage. The facts brought out were that on December 31, 1905, the Puebla was mook Rocks, off the coast of Oregon, and that in response to her signals to the port of San Francisco. rived on the bar outside the Golden| Gate on January 4, 1906, at which time, | after crossing the bar the tow line be- tween the Chehalis and Puebla broke and while the rescuing vessels were heaving a line aboard, the tug Relief darted in and bore away the tow.
