that the property is only worth $750c0.
Now you are falling behind S225 month.
This comes out of the fund. Consequently,
the time will come when the fund will be ali
eaten up and the institution become finan-
cially embarrassed. 1t will not take long
for $225 a month to amount to very large
sum-
MORE MONEY EXPECTED.
he was answered that it was expected to
get 100000 more as the interest on the
$4,000 while 1t was lying idle, and which
is claimed by the Pioneers and Academy of
Sciences as residuary legstees. Before that
was eaten up in expenses the property
would probably be leased, which would give
a good income. No good offer has as vet
been received. Besides the patronage of
the baths would increase, anu with it the
income from towels.
Trustee Rankin said that he could not see
time when from any probable fund the
baths could ever be run free. The baths
were run rs economically as possible.
Yes" said Trustee Earl, I'VE are not
even insured in order to save expense This
is stone building. Some would object to
that. Would you?"
u certainly would" said Delegate White
Alter considerable more enlargement on
the subject of expenses and the imposs ibility
OF running the latter without a charge. the
conference came to an end.
Delegates White and Grambarth did not
state what were their impressions or con
G!uslons from the interviews. Delegate
Farland, however, said; Although i do
not speak for tile committee, can state that
pers onally l believe the Trustees are run
ming the baths as economically as possible.
and that the charge of five cents is both lust
and right"
AT PUBLIC EXPENSE.
After the conference Trustee Earl stated
that there was some talk of turning the
baths over to the city and letting them be
run by it, the Board of Supervisors to make
up whatever deficiency might occur As if
was for the beuefit of the people and in the
interest of the health of the city, the sug-
gestlon was looked upon favorabiy by some.
Such a course, he said, could take up a long
time in the courts.

PUBLIC AVENUES.
Work on the Market Street Grade Ordered
Suspended.

Work on the Market-Street Grade Ordered
Suspended.
The old, tiresomP, long, drawn-out
wrangle between Adoiph Sutro and the
Spring Valley Water Company over the ex-
tension of Seventh avenue in straight line
through the company's waste basin was re-
newed before the Street Committee yester-
day.
Not a single new point was made by
either party. and the only reason for re-
hearing the old arguments was that the
members of the committee, at least so far
as the opposing parties are concerned, were
more or less unfamiliar with the situation.
The controversy ended in an agreement Of
all parties, including the committee, to meet
on the disputed grounds on the 18th inst.
and see If some kind OF amleable arrange
ment could not be made.
The hearing of the petition to repeal the
ordinance changing the Market-street grade
between Valencia and Castro was the occa-
sion for volumes of argument and eloQuence.
A. E. Buchanan, who has entered into pri-
vate contracts with the property-owners to
do the work, maintained that the board had
no right to nullify his contracts. If there
was 10 be any question about the matter at
all it should be in the courts. Property
owners had the right to enioin him if they
believed themselves about to be injured, and
then the courts could decide the rights of
the case. He did not care to discuss the ad-
visibility OF changing the grade. Nearly
all the people representing the frontage on
NJ arket street are in favor of the change.
T. j. Bass cOntended that it was only a
question of time when the work would have
TO be done, and it would cost much less now
than sometime in the future. Market street
is found to be the one grand thOrOughfare of
the city, and everything possible should be
done to beautify it before it is too late.
John E. Foulds, an attorney, urged that
Buchanan had no rights under his contracts,
because they were all made prior to the pas
sage OF the order for the change. He fur
Their insisted that the order itself is invalid
because it was not passed to print.
Upon the request of ex-Judge j. +. Sulli-
van Thomas Breen was sworn for the pur-
pose OF giving testimony, and he stated.
under oath, that forLy-one owners of prop
erty fronting on the street are opposed to
the change. They represent 2151 feet out of
400 feet on both sides.
MIR. Sullivan maintained that the city had
no right to make the change without COM
pensating the injured owners. He said that
the order fixed the grades only at certain
points and did not adjust the grades in the
whole territory, as should be done.
DR.. X. Ii. Mcdonald favored the change
of grade.
j. Ii. Bartlett said the Southern Pacific
had taxed the property-owners from Valen-
ella TO Castro streets $4,000 to run dummies
over that distance, hence should not object
TO the change.
The COMMITTEES fgally decided to direct
Superintendent of Streets Gileran to stop
should take some action on the petition for
Its repeal. Mr. Buchanan has already COM
menced tearing up the street.
An unusually large parcel of unimportant
routine work was disposed of, and the COM
mlttee was in session all day.

THE day is not far distant when Arizona will ship her fruit to Califor- mia to compete with the home product of that state. The idea was Ia lghed at a few years ago that oranges raised within stones throw of the dividing line between Cochise county and Son. ora Mexico, would find Q market in California, but such is an existing fact Oranges are shipped by the car load from the groves along the river val. leys of Sonora, d'rect to San Francisco where they command a higher price, and are more eagerly sought for than the product of the Golden State.
