THE NEW CITY HALL WASTE.

The New City Hall up to date has cost
something more than three times as much as
estimates prepared the public for. 1t may be
remarked in this connection that estimates
are often used TO prepare the public mind.
The gentlemen who made the 81, SOC, 600 esti-
mate perhaps realized that il the estimates
were made above $4,000, 900 the people
would insist upon some radical modification
of the plans. But Sl,500000 did not seem
an unreasonable expenditure. The extra
tax required to meet the yearly cost would
not be hardly felt. But the work has cost
more than 100000, and the end is not yet
In fact the end is not clearly in sight. There
are towers vet to be built. the exact cost of
which will depend largely upon the temper
Of the taxpayers. A contemporary which
has en- other occasions shown that il re-
gaTded the absence of a bond-mll as a lost
opportunity now says that if an attempt
had been made to make one job of the con-
structiOn Of the City Hall a better building
would have been secured for one half the
money. Making one job of the construction
would have required the issuance of bonds
to meet obligations when due. Instead of
appropriating money from year to year an
issue Of bonds would have been made to
cover the whole cost. Does anybody sup
pose that responsible contractor would
have been found to take a contract to build
the City Hall at the original estimates?
Does the experience Of other cities warrant
our people in assuming that a bond-mill
once started would let 60 its hold so easily /?
1t is not probable that the City Hall could
have been built at the cost indicated by the
original estimates. When the 81, 500, 900
was expended and the structure in half
finished condition, there would have been
no alternative but another issue or the loss
of what had been done. 1t is probable that
Sl,O00,000 has been wasted on tile piece
meal construction of the building. From
year-to-year appropriations are not an eco
nomical way Of constructing buildings, but
the Taxpayers are more likely to insist upon
knowing what is done with their money
when they pay it out from year to yoar
than when they hand the sums total over to
posteri,y to pay. The million or more
which has been wasted on the City Hall has
been taken from the taxpayers with their
knowledge and consent. They know that
there has been waste in that expenditure,
as they know that there is more or less
waste in every department of the city gov
erDment. But there will always be a whole
some restraint upon extravaganza until the
organ of the bond-mill syndicate persuades
the people that the readiest way to get rich
is TO run into debt.

LAND SPECULATION.

British Vice-Consul Mortimer advises
British capitalists not to invest money in
Southern California. The reason Mr.. Nor
timer gives for this advice is that things are
not always as they are represented. The
statement has come from other sources that
unscruDulous land agents are selling lands
which have no practical existence. In other
words, the location of the land they offer is
so misrepresented that it has nothing like
the value they attach to it. A man who
would advise against investment in land in
the southern counties OF California because
there were worthless lands offered in other
localities is not a safe counselor. English
investors as well as others should protect
themselves against misrepresentation. The
greater the value of land in these southern
counties the greater the temptation to un
serupuious parties to palm off a bogus arti-
Gle. 1t does not follow because land under
certain conditions is worth $1,000 an acre for
agricultural purposes that land which can
not be brought under similar conditions has
any real market value. Investors in land
should see for themselves, or through a
trusted agent that the lands offered are To-

complaint of Armand Abto. a tamale
pedcler, who says they robbed him, with
violence, of Sc 30, came up yesterday in
Police Judge Worley's court. Tho COM

them was Anton Smith, friend Of the
prisoners 1t transpired during his eXamin-
alton that he had offered Abto S15 not TO
appear against the two defendants, and go
over to Oakland until the case had been dis
posed OF for lack Of attendance on the part
of the prosecuting witness.
Abto was recalled and testified that Smith
had made him such an offer. On this show
ing the Judge ordered Smith into custody
on charge Of attempting to bride witness,
and he was accordingly so charged and
locked up IN the Central Station. Further
hearing of the case was continued until to-

Annie Fay's Emphatic Way of Settling a

William Higgins and one Annie Fay,
while drinking in a house on Hinckley
alley yesterday afternoon, had a quarrel
which the woman temporarily settled by

Conway and Smith took the two celebrants
into their care, and first piloted them to the
Receiving Hospital where, Higgins scalp
was leashed together by the Police Surgeon.
While Higgins wound was being Sc wed up,
Miss Fay INDUCED in numerous jokes at her

Beet-sugar Factory, is not clear that the
beet-sugar bounty will do sugar-beet grow
ers much good. 1t is admitted that beet
growers make from $50 to $50 an acre on an
average from land devoted to beets. Twenty
tons to the acre is large crop and the cur
rent price is 81 30 ton. The gross product of
an acre would be 800. which is reduced by
cost of cultivation to from $50 to $50. The
object of the bounty was to continue the
beet-sugar manufacturing industry. Under
tariff admitting sugar free it was repre-.
