protest was presented with the cOmmunlca-
tion and in substance stated that the Tubbs

and further that it would be a great in
justice to the people now engaged in rope
making here to bring them into competition
with convict labor About eighty-fiye names
were signed to the protest.

ment to the committee on law and legisla-
ton.

gineers. asking for the Endorsement OF a

cants, and making it misdemeanor for
any one not provided with such license to
run steam engine.
The bill was referred to the committee on

Several other communications from vari-
Gus unions were received, the most impor-
tant of which came from Sacramento Fed

HURTING THEIR TRADE.
Merchants Make fruitless Complaint
to the Street Den art u1enf

Merchants Make fruitless Complaint
to the Street Dep artment.
Numerous complaints have been sent In
to the Street Department by the business
men On the south side of Pine street oppo-
site the California market. As yet no
notice has been accorded the complaints,
and as result their business Is suffering.
Some time ago an excavation for new
building was started at 421 Pine street. A
cellar was dug between two buildings
which extends to the curb. The opening
has been bulkheaded and the barricade
thus erected on a public thor0ughfare
drives the populaoe into the street.
As vehicles are constantly passing, the
operation of making the detour around the
bulkhead is a dangerous one, and as a
result the public frequents some other
street, greatly to the detriment OF the
merchants. Their trade is falling off every
day and the Street Department refuses to
help them.
Ii the work were pushed to completion
the evil would remedy itself. but nothing
has been done on the excavation for nearly
three weeks. and there is no prospect of
operations being resumed. There are five
restaurants in a bunch on that side of the
street and all have sustained heavy losses
in trade.

THE ALTENHEIM.
Work on the Building to Be Conn

The annual general meeting of the Ger

last night.
President R0senbaum presented his re-
port, in which he stated that the society
had capital of S37. 743 SO on hand. and that
the value Of the Fruitvale lot is S6503 26.
He also said that some forty-ive applica-
tions for admission to the home have
already been received, and that they all
come from people well able and quite salts
fed to pay the admission fee.
The building committee announced that
the construction and equipment of build
ing as proposed would require ST. 900, at
the same time recommending that the work
be started at once.
After some debate 1t was decided TO
authorize the board Of directors and build
ing committee to expend $4,000 for building
purposes and 10 commence the work as
soon as practicable.
The matter of furnishing the home was
laid over for future consideration.
The election which followed resulted In
the following being chosen directors for the
