STREET-CAR LICENSE.
The Companies Must Pay for
Every Car in Use.

The street railway companies of this city
will read Counselor Dursts advice TO the
License Collector with more than ordinary
interest MIR. Lee asked if the various rail-
way companies are required under the law
to pay license on every car in their pos
session.
The answer is: "The order of the Board
Of Supervisors is unequivocal. 1t distinctly
provides that the license shall be paid for
each car drawn or propelled by steam, wire
rope or cable, or by horses or mules. 1t
matters not whether the car is so used one
day out Of the year or three hundred and
slXty-hve. To be so used at all the license
therefore must be paid, as it is of no con-
sequence to any but the owners as to how
many or how few times they use it, once
having the license they may use it all of the
time, put they have no right to use car Tor
single trip unless license has been paid
for each car"
The law applies with equal force TO cars
propelled by steam locomotives. The city
has converted the running of a car into a
privilege, and requires that a license fee Of
$50 per annum be paid for each'car on hand
and in use.
If the License Collector enforces this law
IL Will make very material difference IN
the revenue of the city, for none of the COM
panles pay anywhere near the fun quota OF
licenses For instance, the Market-street
system owns and uses about ATS cars, while
II pays license on but 40. The Preside and
Ferries company uses about so cars and pay 8
license on 10. The Omnibus system uses
100 cars and pays license on 81 or there
abouts. SO on throughout the city, about
tile same proportion being observed with all
companies.

Presentation Bat Donated to Ernest
sloman.
A presentation bat was given to Ernest
SlOman during the luncheon interval AZ
Sundays game at Golden Gate. Tue bat
was given in recognition of his fine score of
1877, made against the Oakland club on July
10Th. The gift was acknowledged by the
recipient in brief speech, in which he de-
clarsd that being of a conservative tempera-
ment he felt obliged to mold his remarks on
the model set by William Robertson on a
similar occasion. Hood used the new bat
during the innings of the Alamedas. Luck
seemed to go with it, for he was the only
member of his side who made score.
The tickets for Sundays game, the pro-
ceedS of which will be given to Tom Booth,
who recently met with an accident are SELL
ing rapidly. The contesting sides will be
the eleven which is going to Victoria and
q fifteen chosen from the remaining mem
berS OF the association. Both teams were as
far as possible chosen al the meeting of the
association yesterday evening.
telegram from the cricketer5 of Vic
toria, b. c., was recently received by Will
lam Robertson, requesting the CalifOrnians
to extend their tour till the 18th. The bust
ness arrangements of the visiting eleven
rendered this impossible, however and the
local men were reluctantly obliged to re-
fuse.
A long-needed improvement at the Golden
Gate Grounds will be inaugurated at Sun
days game. This is telegraph board,
which Will keep spectators and players alike
posted as to the position of the game An
indicator of the kind has been long wanted.

OPPOSED TO EXTENSION.

Shotwell- street Residents Do Not Need
Better Drainage.
A long protest of property-owners resid-
ing on Shotwell street, between Twenty-third
and Twenty-siXth, was filed with the Su-
pervisors yesterday against the proposed
extension of Shotwell street from its present
terminus to Army street. The object of this
extension is to make connections with the
Army-street sewer, but these petitioners
represent that Shotwell street, between
Twenty-third and Twenty-sixth, is all
graded, macadamized. sidewalked and sew
cred, and they do not believe that the ex-
tension would benefit them at all.
Another protest of a similar nature and
concerning the same proposed action of the
board is signed by large number of prop
erty-owners within the district to be affected,
including Bartlett, Capp and Shotweli
streets, Treat avenue. also Harrison, Flor
ida, York and Hampshire streets. The
sgners simply declare that the proposed ex-
tension will not benefit them at all, as they
already have all the sewer conveniences

Interest IL the Fancy Is Growing on the
Coast.
The Pacific Coast Pigeon Society has
taken new departure by starting monthly
exhibitions of pigeons at the club-ro0ms.
On Saturday fine collection of fantails
was on exhibition. During the year great
number of fine birds have been imported by
the fanclers of the coast, and the interest in
rearing high-class pigeons has been dis
tinctly growing.
Another direction in which the interest
in rigeon breeding has increased is the rails
ing of homers. Young bird flies will be
started again by the Uoming Association in
September, and more than one hundred ell
tries for the first race are confidently ex-
pected. This will be considerably in excess
of the entries for any preceding race.
Negotiations are in progress between the
fancierS and the Directors of the Mechanics
Fair TO have an exhibition of pigeons for
one week of the time during which the fair
is open. A similar exhibition was held in
