Sustained.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
COS Broadway, Oct, 5. {

and convicted for exposing impure meat
for sale. The inspector instituted search
and was rewarded last night by learning
that some men had applied for permission
to slaughter three COWS on the rope wharf
at Melrose. The permission was denied,
and the cattle were driven out Fruitvale
avenue to place kept by a Mrs. Stevens,
Just outside the city limits on the old
county road.
The men killed the cows in the yard in
front of the house, and when the neigh
bors objected the men said that they had
been given permission to kill the animals.
About 10 o'clock last night the market in
spector and Deputy Sheriff arrived on
the scene and waited for developments.
Ghe men had gone, but the beeves were
hanging up in the shed.
Just at daybreak this morning the
butchers came after the beef, cut it up and
loaded it on wagon. When they drove
off they were followed by the inspector and
the deputy. At Second and Broadway,
gong to San Francisco, they were arrested.
Both men pleaded not guilty and their
cases were continued till Tuesday. CORN
ley has been convicted once before on
charge of exposing diseased meat for sale.
The Levy Fixed.
The City Council met tonight and finally
passed the ordinance fixing the tax levy at
81 Is. Councilman Manuel read a long
message as reply to the message of the
Mayor Thursday night. He held it i'm
possible 10 carry on the city government
on the 81 levy proposed by the Mayor, and
held heated controversy with Councilman
Bassett. but like all the heated discussions
that have taken place since the levy was
taken up, it ended in nothing.
The final passage was carried by the
same vote that has carried everything
since Watkinson left the fold. The Mayor
will veto the ordinance, and as it cannot
be passed over his veto for lack of one
vote, the dollar limit will eventually have
to be adhered to by the Council.
J. West Martin, president Of the Union
Savings Bank, made a speech upholding
the Mayors position, but this was met by
a statement from Towle that as the banks
held nearly $40, 000,0 600 of mortgages within
the city upon which they have to paw
taxes the opinion of banker should not
possess much weight.
John R. GIascock. an ex-Mayor, also
argument availed nothing, and the 81 Is
was fixed. The Mayor has ten days to ect
but he viii probably veto it as soon as he
gets it.

In Favor of Dalton.
Judge Ellsworth rendered a decision last
night that the Supervisors had not been
granted a legal extension of time when
they met as a Board of EQUALIZATION, and
that their reduction of railroad corpora
tU W. inv
The District Attorneys plea on behalf of
the Supervisors was overruled on every
point, and to-day he said he would advise
an appeal.
The State Board of Equalization granted
extensions of time to fifteen counties in
the same manner as that which was al
lowed Alameda County. A decision of
the Supreme Court would therefore nullify
the action of the State Board with refer
ence to all these counties.
