PUBLICLY SCORED.
A Side Fling at Some of Buck.
ley's Appointees.

At a meeting of the Seventeenth-street
and Park-lane Improvement Club on Fri
day evening the Committee on the Widen
ing proposition reported that all are in favor
OF widening the street to eighty feet and ex-
tending it to Stanyan, but that a few are
opposed to the widening of Park lane. The
report was accepted and the committee
granted further time to complete its labors.
All the members of the club were urged to
be present on Thursday, when the committee
Will meet the Supervisors and urge the COM
mencement of the proposed improvement
at the special meeting last night Vice
President Ehrman occupied the chair, and
explained that the small attendance was due
to the meeting having been called on short
order.
AT his request Secretary Charles Sykes
read two petitions to be presented to the
Board of Supervisors tomorrow night. The
nrst stated that the board contemplated the
repeal Of the resolution and order of the
iormer board ordering the extension of Mar
ket street on the ground that it is Illegal and
VOID. The petition further stated that the
resolution is not Illegal or void, and that a
suit Is pending IN the Superior Court regard
ing the legality of the order. The petition
erS concluded by praying that the new board
defer action in regard to the repeal until the
question is decided by the court.
The second petition was of similar
nature, but referred to the order providing
for the extension of Twentieth, Twenty
hrst, Twenty second and Twenty-third
streets and the opening and widening of
Nineteenth street. The new board was
asked to postpone action until the court de-
cided the question of the legality of the
order. Both petitions were unanimously
adopted and signed by the officers of the
club.
No discussion was had on either of the
petitions, though James Whitaker and Cap
tain Bahler were appointed as committee
to secure signatures for petition for the
widening and extension of Seventeenth
street.
The club then adjourned and DIR. Miller,
NIee-President of the Market-Street In
proVemeut Club, was present and called
q meeting of that club, stating that enough
members were present to constitute a
quorum. He read petition to the new
Board OF Supervisors, asking it to defer ac-
ton on the repeal of the order providing
Tor the extension of Sixteenth street. Mar
ket street, and Nineteenth, Twentieth,
Iwenty-tirst, Twenty-second and Twenty
third streets. On that petition was the
following referring to the Commissioners of
the various streets:
The blame odlum attached 10 these bona
fde improvements should be put upon the varl-
Gus commissions where II belongs. Tue Com
mlssiouers with only one exception have en-
tifely neglected their dulles, aud they have seen
tit TO employ so-called experts to al praise the
property. or leftsthe apprarsemeut To property
owners, who yalue their lots ridiculousy high.
This shows clearly the incompetency TO perform
the duties which under tile law devolves upon
them.
The petition was unanimously adopted
andthe club adjourned.

AMONG THE TOILERS.
The Occidental Foundry Will
Have Union holders.

The members OF the Manufacturers and Ma.
chinists' Association were very reticent yester-
day when questioned in reference 10 the with
drawal of Sleiger & Kerr OF the Occidental
Foundry from that organization. The proprietors
OF The foundries say they are still determined 10
fight the striking mOlders and eore-makers to
the bitter end, cost what 1t may, and that the
break in their ranks caused by the withdrawal of
one foundry Will have very little bearing on the
matter.
The strikers however, are more confident than
ever that the loDg-slanding controversy will soon
terminate In complete victory for them. 1t
was learned last night that five non-unlou mold
ers were removed from the Occidental foundry
and Will be shipped back East to-day. This win
leave that shop without any mOlders and core
makers, and when il opens up this week-proba-
bly, on Tuesday-iI Will be with complete crew
OF union men.
President Valentine of the Molders' Union
said last night that The Occidental would here
after be conducted exclusively under union rules,
so far as the molders and core-makers are con.
cerned.

THE WHOLE TRUTH is
That no financial operation which has to
bear life insurance expenses can or ought to
be called an investment; and that no man
can justify his judgment as an investor
when he pays life insurance expenses for
the accumulation of his money, or for any
other purpose than providing his family the
protection they need and cannot get other
wise than through life insurance. 1t is
financial absurdity.
But the question still remains: How do
these companies which spend one-fifth of
their entire income for expenses and can
earn certainly no more than per cent for
the next twenty years, and so cannot safely
promise to return more than S10,S17-and
really do contract TO return only $1,000
expect TO make the S6243 more than their
tue apparent ability to earn, and 5000
more than they dare contract to pay?
THIS is WHERE THE SPECULATION COMES IN.
And 1t is this: they know that some will
die during the twenty years; they expect
that some, possibly considerable number,
Will have to let their policies lapse during
that time, some of them, perhaps, after max
ing large payments. So il is agreed that each
policy-holder will leave all his surplus earned
on his policy year by year with the company
Tor twenty years; if he dies during the time,
it Is to be forfeited to the company; if he
lapses, 1t is also forfeited; aud there is for
