Cable Railway Scheme of the Late
Charles Z. Shaw.

Charles p. Shaw, whose death in New
York was noticed in Yesterdays CALL, can
not properly be described as a Californian"
said A. 5. HalIide yesterday, "as he was

1T is true he had brief residence in San
Francisco some years ago." continued the
President OF the California Wire Works,

The press dispatches are incorrect IN other
particulars too. lie was a manipulation and
specuatOr, not a capitalist Years ago he
claimed TO have been thrown over by the
elevated railroads, and his subsequent eff
forts 10 introduce the cable system into New
York City were for the purpose Of getting
even.
Under the provisions Of the Rapid Tran
sit Act he managed 10 secure some rights,
and then aimed at gaining the control Of
about seventy miles of New York streets.
1t would have been a very good thing for
me had he succeeded. l testified "a u the

tive commission. but the scheme was 100
gigantic for him and 1t failed. don't think
he was ever a capitalist. At any rate what
ever money was lost belonged 60 a syndicate
Of when he was the manager"
In conclusion Mr.. Halldie referred to the
domestic troubles of the deceased, which he
said were the reSultO his ntemperance. 1t

ABOUT SEWERS.
Professor SOuIe Gives the Super.
ViSOrs Some Advice.

Professor SOule of the State University
was in conference for short time yester-
day with the Street Committee Of the Board
of Supervisors in relation to having the pres
ent sewer system Of the city examined by
the students Of the civil engineering depart
ment Of the Institution
He said he appreciated the compliment
extended the class by the board, but did
not think the members could undertake a
continuous piece of work like the one in
question, because they have to spend five
days Of the week in study and classroom.
He thought, however, that during the sum
mer vacation they would have plenty Of
time, and he could select eight or ten in the
class quite competent 10 handle the WORK
under the direction of a competent engi-
neer.
He was under the impression that many
data could be found in the City Surveyors
office that would greatly assist the work
and save much otherwise tedious research.
According to his idea the city should have
one general plan Of drainage. but that It's
peculiar topography would certainly neces-
state number OF SuG-sYStemS. This would
OF course necessitate a cOuplete survey Of
the city and the permanent establishment
Of grades. The information concerning
present sewers and everything pertaining
TO the system should be exact and reliable.
The professor did not speak very fiatteT-
iugly Of the committees idea of Offering
prizes for the best systems. In his opinion
10 would be cheaper and better TO employ
thoroughly competent engineer to gather
data, with 4 corps Of assistants. and then
submit plan to a Board Of Engineers,
which could pass upon il or change it 50
that 1t could be finally adopted by the
Board Of Supervisors
He believed there are many good c0npe-
tplf engineers This who could he p
lied upon for such work. and there is no
need 10 seek fore IN talent.
