Paul. one of the wealthiest and strongest
roads in the Northwest. The question of
who will be selected to fill his place was
very naturally under discussion yester-
dsy. The dispatch which gave the news
of Mr.. Stubbs' resignation also afirms
that Richard Grey, the General Freight
AGENT at San Francisco, will be
called to fill the vacancy. This
would be in accordance with the
general conservative policy of the road
which is won't to make the appointments
on the civil service system of promotion.
On the same plan Mr.. G. F. Smurr, the
Assistant General Passenger and Freight
Agent, located in this city, will be likely
to be called to fill the place left vacant
by Richard Gray. It is limited that it is
not impossible that different arrange
m mt from this may be effected, and that
Mr.. Smurr may succeed Mr.. Stubs di-
rectly. Charles E. Sayler, the local
freight agent, and L. E. Mosher are men.
toned among those who may be called
upon to take Mr.. Smurr's place in case it
falls vacant. Mr.. Smurr went north last
evening in obedience to g summons by
telegraph. This is significant fact.
K. N. Wade, who has been chosen by
the management of the Santa Fe to sue
coed to Mr.. McCc ol's place. was formerly
the General Superintendent of the Wa
bash road. Mr.. McCool had nothing to
say with regard to the appointment, ex-
cept to express an opinion to the effect
that the road had secured the services Of
an excellent man. Mr.. Wade will not
take his new position until the 1st Of
November.

SEVENTH STREET.

why the PrOpositiOH to Grade Ii
Failed.
The grading OF Seventh street in front
OF the West Lake Park came up in the
Council on Monday, and the proposition
to grade was voted down, one of the
Councilmen giving notice of reconsider
alton on Monday next, at which time the
necessary ordinances will probably be
passed. 1t will be remembered that last
spring the Park Commissioners caused
a bulkhead to be built where the lake
backs up against Seventh street. THIS
was done to prevent the water of the
lake from breaking through and delugiDg
the country to the south. This bulk.
head, it is stated, has never been filled at
it's back, the delay having been occasioned
by the supposition that Seventh street
would be graded and that the filling
could be put in them. The people own
ing property on the south side of Seventh
street, opposite the park, desiring to
make the road at that point az attractive
as possible, decided to give twenty feet
of their property for street purposes, un-
Outstanding that it was the intention of
the city to grade the street.. Tho deeds
only recently passed to the city for this
extra strip of land on this understanding,
and some of them state that they were
surprised when the Council refused to
pass the ordinance last Monday. II
was stated in the Council that the
objection to the grading of the street
was the fact that the city's share OF the
expense would be about So 900 and some
OF the Councilmen did not think it would
be right at this time to expend the
money. The City Engineer stated, how
ever, that it would be absolutely neces-
sary, in order to prevent the lake from
breaking through, to fill in behind the
bulkhead, and that it would not involve
much more expense to grade the street
at the same time. The general opinion
was yesterday that the street will be or
dered graded on next Monday.

The Money for the school Bonds
Turned Over.
This morning the committee on the
valuation of the city property will meet
for the purpose Of giving to the expert
vino mas hbsen employed by the Council
to give the city officials the proper kind
of bookkeeping the entries for the differ.
ent accounts. This committee consists
of President Pomeroy Of the Board Of
Education, Messrs. VanDusen and Ham,
ilton of the Council, the City Engineer,
and City Assessor. A list of the property
owned by the city and it's valuation has
never been made before and it will be
something of task. 1t will include all
the land standing in the name of the
city, all of the school property, and all
of the buildings and furniture.
The payment Of city taxes is now going
ahead at more rapid rate. Up to last
evening the Tax Collector had given re-
ceipts for SCOPES out of the $500, ZOO
which he had to collect when he COM
menced. The payments will grow
larger as the time of delinquency grows
nearer, and it is expected that his clerks
will have all they can do to wait on the
people from now on.
The money for the $10O,000 school
bonds, which were sold to the Southern
California National Bank, was turned
over to the City Treasurer yesterday, and
he in return gave the bank the bonds,
which had been signed by the Mayor
and himself. One twentieth part OF
these bonds mature every year, and it
was q matter of considerable work
to properly prepare the bonds for
issuing. There is nothing in the
way now of the erection oil
the new school houses. On Monday
last the contracts for the purchase o.
| four sites for new school houses we're
approved by the Council, and there is an
advertisement in the HERALD now ask.
ing for bids for the erection of the build
ings on these sites. In addition to
these, the advertisement calls for bids
for the following additions to schools
which were estimated to be required be.
fore the election for bonds was called:
At the Breed street school an addition
OF four rooms.
At the Amelia-street school an addi
ton of four rooms.
At the Garey street school an addition
of four rooms.
At the Seventh. street school an addi
ton of two rooms.
At the CASTELAR, street school an add.
ton of four rooms.
At the Pearl-street school an addition
of two rooms.
At the Pine.street school an addition o
four rooms.
At the San Pedro-street school an ad
dition of two rooms.
At the Temple.street school an addi
ton of four rooms.
The bids for the erection of these build
ings must be in the hands of the City
Clerk before 10 o'clock on next Monday
morning, and it is expected that there
will be quite number of bidders. Con-
tractors have been looking at the plans
and specifications on file with the CITY
Clerk for the past few days, and the
prospects are that the bids will all come
within the limit set in the estimate. The
construction of all these buildings ant
additions will be under the supervision
of the Building Superintendent.

Him.

He Asks the Council TO Investigate
Him.
Mr.. John Farrell, the contractor fol
the removal of dead animals from the
city, has decided to demand an investi
cation at the hands of the Council of the
charges made against him at the las
meeting of the Police Commission. Mr.
Farrell states that while it is true there
are hogs near where he boils the dead
animals, he has nothing to do with them,
He says they belong to man who has q
cont ract for taking the swill away from
the hotels and boarding-houses in the
city, and that they are not fed on the
meat from the dead animals, which he
says is converted into fertilizers. The
cause he assigns for the death of the
hogs is cholera, which he says is prevail
ent among hogs in the State at present.
Following is copy of the communication
which he has addressed to the Mayor,
Council and Police Commissioners:
GENrLEMEN-I beg to call your atten-
ton to the charges and insinuations that
ton with my handling the animals that
die in your city.
I have given heavy bond for the faith
ful performance of my contract with the
city, and for nearly year have been
engaged in the work. During all that time
I have faithfully and honestly done my
duty. aud | challenge dispute of this
assertion. have never allowed parti-
Gle of such dead animals to be fed to
hogs or to any other class of creatures
used for human food. / request that a
committee be appointed to investigate
what my 11eceedings have been in this
connectio1 ery respectfully,
WV JOHN FARRELL.
