THE COUNTY HOSPITAL.

The Financial Committee of the Board

Chairman Ebert presiding. A strong dele
CATION of property-owners from the neigh
borhood of the City and County Hospital
was present to protest against the appro-
prlating of $4,000 for repairing the
hospital. They claimed that the place was a
nuisance. and wanted it removed. Elert
said that there was no intention OF putting
up new buildings or making such extensive
improvements as would prevent the ulti-
mate removal of the Institution. No action
was taken in the matter.
Incidental to the meeting DR.. Regens-
burger appeared and asked if the purchas-
ing of the supplies for the County Hospital
could not be left to the Board Of Health in-
stead of the steward being obliged TO go
where he was sent by the chairman OF the
Hospital Committee He thought If the
matter were under control of the Board Of
Health more economy would be observed.
Chairman Ellert suggested that II the
Board of Health were studying economy
they might commence at home and give less
big dinners and scalloped oysters at the
hospital.
II lust wanted to know if it was custom
ary to leave the matters with the hospital

The committee concluded that they could

A number Of prOperty-owners asked that
the Tax Collector be authorized TO receive

said the collection of the delinquent taxes

business it was to collect the taxes is not in
the city, so 1t was decided to recommend

0Brien to receive the money.

GOULD CAN Do IT.
His Big Railway Project for San
Francisco.
Rumor That the Wizard Of Wall Street
Has Gained Control of the Allan
tic and Pacific.

Jay Gould has bought controlling inter-
est in the Atlantic and Pacific ana will build
a line from MOjaye to San Francisco.
This is the latest railroad TumoT, and ii
sounds very well.
If anybody can give San Francisco rail-
road Gould can.
The report comes from Kansas City. II
reached here yesterday in private letter.
T. NJ, GarVie, local real estate man, who
has been travelling in Kansas and Missouri,
writes as follows to his brother, r. w. Nc
Garvie, with whom he is in business here:
At Pueblo met Jay Gould and party They
have been here for the past three weeks. l re-
ceiYed II from a good reliable source that he has
bought up the controlling stock In the Atlantic
and Pacific. from Albuquerque 20 M0jave, aud
that be has formed plan Of reaching San Fran
cisco. ! am positive that he has engineers Ia
the field TO extend his line flom Pueblo TO Albu-
querque This got from one OF his own EN-.
plOyes, who knows what he is talking about.
Now, this shuts the Santa Fe out entirely, and
they viii baV 10 build line or quit. So. old boy,
there is no question but that San Francisco Wi
have railroad boom in short time.
i met at Salt Lake and Travelled to Denver
with gentleman who is at the head Of tile Salt
Lake ana California Railroad. and lie showed
me papers whereby the money had been raised
for Tie building OF that line from that city toward
San Francisco.
If Gould's hand should be raised to aid
being plenty Of money behind the move
ment. The fact that he has engineers in
the field surveying a new line from Pueblo
to Albuquerque certainly gives strength to the
assertions that he has purchased a contrOll-
ing interest in the Atlantic and Pacific The
Atlantic and Pacific line runs from Albu-
querque TO MOjave, and is the route by
which the Santa Fe reaches this State. 1t
is just as MT. McGarvie writes concerning
the necessity of the Santa Fe building a
line of its own into California in the event
of Gould's control OF the Atlantic aud Pa
clfc. 1t would leave the Santa Fe in very
bad shape for the transaction Of overland
business, as Gould has always been, and
doubtless will continue TO be, inimical to
Santa Fe interests.
1t is also refreshing to note that the Salt
Lake railroad project Is to have plenty of
financial support.
1t will be strange. indeed. with all these
favorable signs IL San Francisco does not
gain freedom from railroad monopoly before
long,

A NEW CHARTER.
The Commission Asked to Call
q Special Election.
Fifteen Freeholders Wanted 10 Change Our
Municipal Laws-The Board Will
Decide Tomorrow.

A meeting of the Election Commissioners
was held Yesterday afternoon, Mayor San
derson presiding. Ex-Judge Sullivan said
that he appeared on behalf Of a number of
taxpayers to ask for the call Of a special
election to elect Board of Freeh0lders to
frame charter for the city 10 be voted for
al the general election in November. After
a resolution to that effect was read, asking
that the number of freeholderS be Is, and
that the special election be held on July 9,
J. J. Dwyer said that he and his friends rep-
resented the Democratic executive commit
tee. They did not appear as Democrats,
however, but as nOn-partlSans. The need
of a ne charter. he said. had been felt Tor
at least 10 years, upon which all parties
would agree. I'VE are here in the interest
OF the public veal The question Is not one OF
a political character We have conferred
with leading Republicans and find that they
are in favor Of taking a step Of this sort. i
understand that some of the members OF
your own board favored IL, and the only
question Is, Is it eXpedent at this time. We
have now $50 days TO do the work. and the
statutes demand that we have 140. The
fre ehOlders have 90 days TO prepare their
charter, but this time can be shortened.
The charter must be advertised In the news
papers 20 DAYS, and then 80 days must eiapSe
before the election. This time cannot be
shortened, and that Is WHY we must get TO
work Immediately"
Commissioner burst said that It was de-
sirable 10 have a new charter, but he
thought that caution must be exercised, and
that it was due to the Republican party 10
allow their representatives TO be heard from.
A. J. Clunie said that il was not neces-
sary to consult any party. 1t was only
necessary 10 agree upon the fTeeh0ders, as
no one could be found o oppose a new
charter; but delays were dangerous and he
urged immediate action.
Commissioner Smiley said that he was In
favor OF new charter, but he thought he
saw a stumbling block was presented as TO
how tie election should be conducted. The
number of precincts had been changed, and
under what law were the people going 10
vote was what he wanted TO know.
Marcus R0senthal told them. on the
authority OF Deering's Political Code, that
the special election would be conducted on
the same lines as the last general election.
Commissioner burst said that knowing
the committee to be composed Of lawyers lie
felt that it vas right, yet he wanted time 10
satisfy himself on the law.
Smiley was in favor Of passing the res

vailed, and the commission adjourned till
