CHARGING EXTRA TIME,
INSPECTORS ON THE OUTFALL
SEWER DOING 1T.
The Sewer Committee Dons a Fighting
Costume and AnnihiiaCes
the Expensive
Habit.

A more excited trio Of men has seldom
been seen around the city hall than the
sewer committee yesterday afternoon.
The committee received word that an
unnecessary expense was being made in
the construction OF the outfall sewer.
The eewer committee, whose head is
the economically inclined councilman
from the East Side, attired in war-like
costume, proceeded Immediately to the
scene of expense accumulation.
1t did not take much inquiry to find
that the inspectors on the big sewer
had read the HERALD's statement that a
balance of over 5000 would be left
after the sewers completion. Probably
they did not like to see bonds issued
and have such large balance left.
Whether they did or not, the inspect.
ors-who are paid $4 a day-have been
charging for extra time. They make UP
daily reports of how much is done.
and some days the inspectors have but
little if anything to do. On thesed ays
they get paid the usual wages.
The trouble was caused by extra time
being charged over and above the days
upon which the inspectors do almost
nothing and get paid for it. The sewel
committee discontinued the practice
which would have cost the city a neal
little sum.

The Chinese Return to Cshuenga Valley
and Trouble IL Feared.
Yesterday morning the Cinnamon
who were driven from Cahuenga valley
one week ago last Friday night by the
farmers OF that vicinity returned to
their vegetable farms, and will, unless
again molested, continue to raise
''stling BEANS" etc., much to the dis
gust OF their white neighbors.
1t will be remembered that these
Cinnamon were waited on by masked
mob OF about rs armed men at mid
night and invited to leave the valley,
which they did. 1t is feared that fur
ther trouble may follow, as the farmers
are determined TO rid the valley of the
Chinese entirely.
A well-known resident OF Cahuenga
stated yesterday that they would have
accomplished their purpose long ago If
it were not for the nonresident land
owners. who refuse to lease their prop
erty to white men instead of Cinnamon.

The Hotel Pleasanton, located corner

is one of the Golden Gate city's finest
hostelries, and is now becoming more

Mr.. Campbell T. Hedge has assumed

within few blocks of all the theaters,
while cable cars pass by on both streets.
The Pleaeanton Is beautifully furnished

anyone going to San Francisco will find
it to his advantage to stop at the

be cheerfully recommended to the trav-
cling public. Mr.. Hedge, the manager
and proprietor, is an old experienced
hotel man, we'll and favorably known in

THE EASTERN SITUATION.
The latest Issue of Dun's Review from
New York WAS printed just before the
repeal bill was passed. The editorial
summary contains much matter OF gem
erai interest and is subioined:
Port is in sight after long and stormy
voyage, and the prospect of speedy
end Of the struggle over repeal has
brought bright hopes to business. Stocks
climbed rapidly for three days. banks
relaxed restraints, commercial loans are
more freely eought and made, and re-
ports from all quarters show the preva-
lence OF more hopeful feeling. This of
itself tends to produce some revival Of
consumption and OF industry, which,
nevertheless, has made but moderate
progress as yet. 1t is still too coon to
expects much effect in trade and manu-
facturee, and though monetary obstacles
are to q large extent removed, there still
remain other legislative questions which
create uncertainty. Opinion also differs
as to the extentot improve ment now to
be expected after 30 much doubt and de-
lay and loas. But the clearings outside
New York this week are not quite 20 per
cent. lees than lass year.

There has been very satisfactory i'm

not that it amounts to enthusiasm or
anything like it, yet it is the fact that
money is beginning to flow in this
direction and our banks have not had
to ship coin to cover exchanges during
the week. The demand for money ia
unusually greater at this time OF year
on account of taxes falling due, but the
pressure to meet these payments does
not seem to be characterized by any
thing abnormal and there is no likeli-

larger than its ordinary size.
