The Senate Committee on City, City and
County and Town Governments, met yes
terday afternoon, after the adjournment Of
the Senate, Chairman Bailey presiding.
Senate Bill No 81, limiting the County
Clerk of San Francisco-that is, all cities
of over 100000 inhabitants-to $1,000 per
month to run his Office.
Senator Fay spoke of the bill, saying it
would be Godsend to San Francisco.
At present the County Clerks Office costs
the city $4,000, and. said the Senator, there
was nothing to prevent him running it
up to $4,000, if he took a notion. Most
every County Clerk had pledged himself
to the 5000 limit, but had not kept their
pledges. The proposed bill had been
drawn up by the Committee of Safety of
San Francisco, and was intended to work
great reform.
Senator Broderick opposed the bill on
the ground that it reduced the salaries Of
courtroom clerks from S175 to $3.50 per
month, and also reduced the salaries Of
other clerks that he thought earned what
they are now receiving.
The bill was recommended for passage.

Various methods of cleaning blan.
kets appear in the newspapers with
periodical regularity; among them the
following has the merit of being proba-
bly, the least taxing to the physical
strength and the most economical of
any and at the same time equal to any
in efficacy. Pour into the tub half a
pint of common household ammonia,
laying the blanket lightly over it, and
Immediately pour in enough warm
water to entirely cover the blanket.
This sends the fumes of the ammonia
through the fibers of the wool and
loosens the dirt in a way which seems
little short of marvellous. The blan-
kets should then be pressed and stirred
about with a stick till the water seems
to have acquired its darkest hue, when
a second tub of clear water of about
the same temperature as the first
should be used in the same way, after
which the blanket should be run light
ly through the wringer and hung out
to y.-Philadelphia Press.
