CITY HALL COMMISSION.
Bids to Be Asked for New Boilers
in the Basement.

The Board of City Hall Commissioners
met yesterday morning. Considerable
talk was INDUCED in regarding the charac-
ter of boilers which should be placed 10
the basement to supplant those which
were erected eighteen years ago. and
which are now In q dangerous condition.
The commission is In favor of having boil

and provide power tor running an electric
plant. No definite action was taken, but
probably at the mex. meeting bids viii be
asked for boilers sufficient 10 carry out the
designs of the Commissioners.
A communication was received from
District Attorney Barnes relative to the
power of the commission to expend the
$4,000 given for preserving the sanitary
condition Of the hall without asking bids
on each small job ordered in the way of
repairs. District Attorney Barnes was of
the opinion that the commission cannot
expend money for necessary work to be
done on the hail except on the condition
that bids are solicited by advertising.
A communication from the Board of
Supervisors relative to providing kitchen
for the Sheriff IN the basement to maintain
prisoners awaiting trial was placed on file
for further consideration.
A number of bids were received for
paiuting the roof. The bids ranged all
the way from $3.50 to $500. They were

:. P. HUNTINGTON.
He Underbids the Union
Iron Works.
The Big Railroad Financier Makes
Bold Stroke at a Califor.
mia Industry.

c. p. Huntington has again shown his
regard for California industries and the
Pacific Coast generally. This was made
known in Washington dispatch which
appeared in THE CALL yesterday.
MIR. Huntington has big ship-building
establishment at Newport News. When
you wish to travel over the Southern Pa
c6c Railroad, either eastward or west
ward. you must pass through Newport
News. Freight over the Sunset route
must pass through Newport News. 1t is
the Eastern terminus of Huntington's rail-
way; it is his town.
Having large shipyards. he naturally
enough wanted TO keep them busy, be-
cause it is convenient TO have them at all
times for his Atlantic boats. 1t costs little
for coal and iron when there is no freight
to pay, and that is where the shoe
pinches.
The Union Iron Works appreciates that
60 when the United States Govern m ent
received bids for construction of three
gunboats Huntington could afford 10 SUBJ
nit impossible figures. And such was the
case.
The dispatch said that 1T Is now alto.
gether probable that Huntington's con-
Germ will build all three vessels. The
reason is that his bids were so far below
all reasonable prices that be is alone in the
field.
'"There were several bids for these
three gun boats" said Henry Scott of the
Union Iron Works yesterday. "But we
did not expect what came later. On the
three vessels Huntington bid $780, 900
lower than our estimate, aud ours was
$4,000 below sli other Eastern figures.
His price was $40. 600; ours 81, 100000.
Il suppose he wanted to help out the
Pacific Coast when he entered his esti-
mates for these vessels. That must have
been his motive. Whether he has sue
ceeded is another matter.
Il don't know anything about this dis
patch. Only the Secretary of the Treasury
has not returned our check which accom-
panied our bid"
"What does that mean?'' was asked.
1T argues that he has not made up his
minG upon awarding contracts. He did not
bind himself to accept the lowest bid. So
it may be possible that the lowest bidder
cannot get the contracts"
If San Francisco loses this important
contract for the three gunboats it will be
through HuDtington's figuring. which was
out of all reason when compared with the
bids of firms familiar with the construction
of naval ships.
Against legitimate competition of East
ern firms the Union Iron Works would
have won. All will depend on the recon-
mendation of the special naval board, as
Secretary Herbert says he will be influ-
en- ed by the committees report, while he
might use his own discretion.
But Huntington wanted TO help out the
Pacific Coast"

. CHARGES OF FRAUD.
The Failure of Albert CIayburgh
Subject for an Action.

A suit has been filed in the Superior
Court by Jefferson G. James and William
Smith. trading as j. G. James g. Co.,
against Albert Clay bureh, M. RosencrantZ.
A. Mckay and Lee II. Clayburgh. to set
aside an assignment and sale.
The action grows out of the failure of
the defendant, Albert Clayburgh, who is a
tallow merchant at 40 and 81 Clay street.
Itis stated that in September last Albert
Cfayburgh called a meeting of his credi-
tors, explained his circumstances, and
offered a compromise of 20 cents on the
81 This offer was refused. Clayburgh
then made an assignment Of his property,
leaving blank the name of the assignee
and it is alleged that RosencraDtZ inserted
his. own name, and those Of A. Mckay
and j. G. James & Co. Tire plaintiffs in
the present suit allege that this insertion
was made by fraud and without any
authority from them.
The plaintiffs assert that while they have
steadily refused Clayburgh's offer of a
compromise the other creditors have ac-
cepted it. Meanwhile Clayburgh has
made false showing OF the condition of
his affairs to the creditors, and has falsi-
fed his books; while 1t is asserted that
Claysurgh made sale of his property to
Lee Clay burgh for $1,000. sum which is
held to be wholly dispropor tl0nate to the
value Of the properly sold.
Wherefore the plaintiffs pray that the
assignment made by Clayburgh be de-
ciared null and void. that the sale to Lee
Clayburgh be set aside, and that the plain.
tits take execution upon the property OF
the defendants for the sum of S30S7 81. the
amount of their claim against Albert Clay

The herald., 1893-09-02

THE Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany has mortgaged some of its prop
erty located ia San Francisco to the
Pacific Improvement company for
$1,300,O00 In other words, Mr.. @. P.
Huntington and other gentlemen who
compose the directory of the Improve
ment Company are lending money to
MIR. q. P. Huntington ct al, who COM
pose the Southern Pacific Railway OF
Kentucky. There is something rather
curious in such a transaction, but we
suppose the magnates are coming to the
rescue of their imperiled property. In
vitw of the fact that the gross earnings
of the first six months of this year were
a million and the net earnings half a
million more than for the same period
of last year the case is certainly puz-
zling. One explanation. of it ia that the
Southern Pacific has always been a
large borrower on call losns-the sum
standing generally at 81. 900, 900 or more,
in San Francisco, and euch large
amounts of money are not to be had
there for the asking just now. The
falling off in business since the panic
swept over the land has been something
simply appalling.

change their place Of residence their
certificate is to be vised by the mayor Of
the locality. Foreigners at present es-
tablished in France are to have until
September Sth to comply with the re-
quirements of these new regulations.
The law seems to be mainly directed
against foreign laborers, and is appar-
emily based upon the desire to secure
the home industrial market to French
workmen to as great degree "a possi-
BILE. In other words France has, with
out exciting the hostility of anybody
enacted law that is even more atrin-
gent than the Geary act. Every country
has the undoubted right to protect Its
own laborers from over-competiti on
with imported labor, and the country
that does not do 80 fails in one of its
highest duties.
