ernment Certificates.
When the Chinese restriction act was
adopted by Congress it was announced by
the Chinese that their Government would
not furnish its subjects with the certif
Gates provided for in that act.
The Chinese Government was allowed to
furnish certificates to those of its subjec IS
who desired to become merchants in this
country. and 1t was provided that those
certificates should be accepted by the
United States customs officials.
A number of the certificates were pre-
sented during Collector Phelps term, but
with the exception of one case he declined
to recognize them. In one case the Chi
nese Minister at Washington appealed to
the Secretary of the Treasury, and upon
his statement that his Government had
authorized the issuance of consular certi
icates the Chinese were landed.
Collector Phelps correspouded with the
preseDtatives of the United States il
China and they reported that no such au.
thority had been granted by the Chinese
Government. The correspondence was re
ferred to Secretary Carlisle for further In
yestigation.
The Secretary has now notified Collector
Wise TO hereafter recognize such certifi
Gates and permit the Chinese possessing
them to land.

the proposed transformation. Word was
sent to the officers of the Second Artillery

Regiment proposed TO continue in affilia-
ton with the artillery arm and had no am-

The only expense involved in the change

commanded at present by Colonel Guthrie,
is the cost of changing the red facings to
white, the infantry color. All the red ar
tillery braids and sashes on trousers, coats

When the Finance Committee, consisting
of Supervisors James (ch airman), Denman
and Kennedy, had perused the Auditors
figures, they forthwith locked the door and
stationed the baliff at the keyhoIe 10 ward
off anybody who approached within hear
ing distance. Auditor Broderick was sent
for in order to confer with the members OF
the committee and give his reasons for his
allotments to the different departments:
The Auditor told them he was governed
in most cases by the statute, but he had eX-
eTclsed the greatest care and scrutiny In
MS Judgments Of the needs of the different
departments in those cases where he had
an option. He told the Supervisors that 1t
lay entirely with them to cut and slash or
raise the figures as they pleased.
Mayor Eilert, who was formerly, when
Supervisor from the Sixth Ward, chairman
of the Finance Committee, was sent for In
order to give the members of the commit
tee the benefit of his experience The
tee for long while and went over the fig
ures and estimate of the Auditor
When the first estimate of the Auditor
was discussed 1t was raised. The Auditor
estimated the advertising at $1,000, but
CLERK Russell tolo the board that the
amount would he insufficient, so it was in
creased to $4,000.
While discussing the School Department
estimate 1t was learned from the Auditor
that the department had a surplus of
S175,00O. and it is possible that it will get
only S1,050,000.
There was quite talk over the City and
County Hospital The superintendent
asked for over sos, 900, the Auditor allowed
him 100000 1n the Finance Committee
James and the Mayor objected to this heavy
appropriation. Denman, however, insisted
that the institution was badly in need of
repairs and improvements, and should be
literally provided for. James claimed
that many repairs bad been made within
the last year, and that $4,000 or SS5.000
would be ample provision for the institu-
tion. Denman and Kennedy. however.
moved to place the appropriation at S95. 900
and the motion was carried.
Nothing was done in regard to the Fire

OF course the Auditor was bound to
keep within the dollar limit in his esti-
mate, and he 50 divided the funds to be
raised as to keep strictly within that
limit. The Auditor took as his basis an
assessed valuation of S340 0O0,00 Super
visor Refs claimed that this was too high
that there would be taxes paid on less
valuation. Auditor Broderick, however,
followed n conservative and liberal esi-
mate based on the returns Of the present
fiscal year. There have been taxes paid
already on $685. 900. 600. and the delinquent
assessment roll shows S1O,0OO,000 more.
OF this 100000 judging by the past,
81, 000 900 will certainly be a conservative
estimate of the assessed valuation which
will be paid. Such was Auditor Broder-
ick's reasoning when he made his estim ate
of S34O00O,0O0. Supervisor Reis. who
wants to walk through the dollar-limit
pledge iu order to raise more money, places
the assessed valuation much lower, of
course. The following is the Auditors tax
levy for the fiscal year 1S93-94, estimate
based on valuation of S340, 100000, and
