A BIG DEFICIT EXPECTED.
Merchants Will Refuse to Furnish
Supplies.
The Judiciary Committee Will Take Steps
to Guarantee City Contractors
Payment.

Supervisor Dimond called the attention
of the Judiciary Committee of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday to the fact that
the Supervisors should do something either
in the Legislature or in obtaining another
ruling of the Supreme Court by which the
merchants furnishing the city with sup
plies could be guaranteed payment. There
will be a heavy deficit toward the end of
the fiscal year and merchants supplying
the city with material and goods to con-
duct municipal institutions will probably
refuse to do so unless they see way by
which they will be paid. The city now has
an outstanding indebtedness of S240, 900
due merchants for supplies actually fur
nished, but which have not been paid for,
on the Supreme Court ruling that the debts
of one year cannot be paid out of the funds
of the next. The deficit this year it is ex-
pected will be $4,000
Walker G. Graves, in response to an
invitation from Supervisor TAYLOR. adj
dressed the committee in regard to the
injunction suit brought some time ago by
the Board of Supervisors to restrain the
Treasurer from paying 40,0O0 of election
claims in excess of the $150,000 appropri-
ated by the Supervisors for that purpose.
The Superior Court decided against the
supervisors IN the lower court, and the
Treasurer paid the $4,000 to the claimants.
Attorney Graves took an appeal to the
Supreme Court in the case and said he had
prepared an elaborate bill in equity. The
points involved he said, were of great
importance to the city.
Under previous decision of the Su-
preme Court all demands for election ex-
penses and the salaries of municipal off,
Gals provided for by statute could be paid
out OF preceding years fund. On the
other hand all claims for supplies and all
demands of contractors for work and
services rendered must be paid and paid
alone out of the funds of the year in which
such debts were contracted by the city.
AS a result of the increased expenditures
of the Election Commissioners and some
of the departments of the city govern
ment the Supervisors would be unable to
run the municipal government if the mer-
chants refused to furnish supplies.
Clerk Russell said the constitution pro-
vided for the running of the county gov

had never been properly presented to the
Supreme Court in all its phases.

CONFIDENCE Is FELT.

EVIDENCED By THE MARKET.
Comparative Value Of Real Estate in
American Cities.

san FRANCISCO WELL In THE LEAD.

Real estate business in San Francisco
has taken on new life, and from no other
apparent reason than the confidence given
everybody by the San Joaquin Valley rail-
road enterprise, which is now an assured
fact. For the time being every other factor
in influencing the real estate market is
overshadowed by the magnitude and i'm
portance of this project. 1t has already
inspired an air of hope and confidence in
CALIFORNIA; prosperity, and as history has
shown that the State and city decline or
advance hand in hand, even most conserv-
alive real estate men declare they can with
certainty foresee a boom for San Francisco
realty. That the people have at last
arisen as one great mass to help themselves
is reason good enough in itself to look for
a prosperous future in the course of a year
or two.
With such favorable prospect there is
no cause for wonder that the local realty
market should begin to improve, and from
now on stiffening in prices may be ex-
pected, more particularly when property
owners are sanguine as to developments.
For the present, however, prices will not
be affected materially.
In review of the market, Umbsen's
Real Estate Record for February will say:
1.-THE market is sound, and both buyers
and sellers are getting ready to do bust
ness. The accumulation of the large
amount of money. as shown by the bank
statements of the LIST of January, has
caused a restlessness and disposition to
make investments. Owners have during
the past two years learned to properly ap-
praise their property, fancy values have
disappeared, and they are ready to sell at a
true market value. Thus the barrier which
has existed so long between buyers and
sellers is gradually disappearing, and
good years business seems assured. The
class of offerings at auction advertised for
the near future are bound to strengthen
the. market, and concentrate large
amount of foreign and home capital in this
city for investment. With million and a
quarter subscribed to build the competing
road down the San Joaquin Valley, both
city and country real estate is bound to
in value, and brisk business
may reasonably be anticipated"
A st. Louis paper has compiled statistics
from the largest cities of America showing
the values of real estate In various districts
in these cities. The estimates were made
in each case by leading real estate firms,
and in San Francisco by Shainwald, Buck
bee e. Co. In New York, Brooklyn and
Boston estimates were made on the square
foot system, while in other cities the figures
were based on lineal front foot measure
ment. San Francisco compares favorably
with Eastern and Western cities, except in
near the Postoffice, which is not
central here. The figures are as follows:
