THE HORTICULTURISTS.
The Removal of Their Headq quarters to
Be Discussed at the Next
Meeting.

The State Board of Horticulture will
meet in about week, and it is expected
that the meeting will be very interesting.
Several matters will be considered, but
the most important will be the question
whether the headquarters will remain at
go Suffer street or be moved into another
building.
The committee having this matter in
charge consists of Mark Mcdonald of
Santa Rosa, Edward Cooper of Santa Bar
bara and J. L. Mosher of San Francisco. 1t
was proposed that the committee see the
City Hall Commissioners and ascertain if
apartments can be secured in the new
City Hall for the Commissioners until the
next meeting of the Legislature, when it is
believed the usual appropriation will be
made, which was not obtained this year
Mr.. Lelong asserts that the organization
viii be kept up whether there is an appro-
priation or not.
The Commissioners have already sub
scribed enough to keep the commission
running for a year, and similar subscrip-
tons have been promised for next year.

allowed five convicts as house servants, Tor
whose board he will charge the State 30
month each.
The salary OF Chief OF the Commissary
Department j. L. Tharp will be probably
his assistant, Charles Z. Alden, from S11o
to 500. DR.. Mansfield will have to con.
tent himself with $155 a month instead OF
through. Other reductions are: Frank de
Pue, $40 month; Miss McElroy, $40
month; steward and gatekeeper, $40
month each. The aggregate OF the reduc-
lions will be about $500 month. 1t is
stated that there will be no change i'll the
lute department salaries until after an
investigation into the working of this part
OF the prison.
A general cut of a similar kind, though
less radical is in contemplation at the
Folsom State Prison.

flats was done under contract. That con-
tract was made by the State Harbor Com
mission and certain property owners on
the one part and the San Francisco Bridge
Company on the other.
But the property-owners who signed the
contract are not so much affected by these
deposits of filth as the residents further to
the west. Many OF the workingmen en-
ployed in the lumber-yards are among
those whose stomachs are rendered unfit
for the proper digestion of food, but the
most vigorous compliments are the people
who live in. the neighborhood.
The State owns the land lying along
the north bank of the channel, and the
Southern Pacific Railroad COMPANY those
along the south side. The lessees of the
Southern Pacific Company, for the pur-
poses of the contract, are considered the
property-owners. These lessees, for the
most part being large lumber dealers, de-
sired-with the Harbor COMMISSIONING
dredging OF Channel street. They and
other property owners in the section
flooded entered into the contract to shoot
the dredgings into that portion of the
fats
This filing up of the flats has crowded
the filth from the sewage which came up
IN the dredgings and that of the dumps al
READY lnere INTO the very faces of the
people whose complaints were recited in
yesterday S CALL. The dredging was done
between Fourth and Sixth streets, and the
material might have been carried out into
the bay but for the economy practiced by
the Board of Harbor Commissioners. In
saving an expense to the State it is COM
planned that the board has endangered the
health if not the lives of the residents in
that portion OF the City, though it is
thought that the present filth is no worse
than that already existing in the Seventh
street dumps. The Channel-street sewer
terminates at Seventh street and the
sewage flows thence into the open water
way in Channel street to the bay At high
tide Mission flats have been submerged.
''The filth on those fats" said C. e.
| Grunsky, a civil engineer, yesterday, sis
Undesirable, as is also the filth from the
sewers IN the open waterway of Channel
street. At low tide it is of an inky-black
color and produces an IN bearable stencil
ut is certainly desirable that those Mis-
sion flats be filled up and brought to the
street grades but the material from the
Channel-street dredgings is not desirable for
that purpose That simply adds to the
filth that has already made its presence
felt by the residents in that section. 1t is
foul and breeds disease. The whole trouble
could be remedied by the securing OF clean
material lying along the front of the bay.
There is also good material for this pur-
pose in the Potrero hills. There is no lack
of available material, but do not wish to
be considered in the light of an adviser.
These are merely facts"

The cause of the complaints made in

from Channel street. is traced to the
economy of the Board of Harbor Com
missioners. The dredeers of the San

up a broader waterway for commerce
along the channel, but they dumped the
mud and sewage on the flats instead of
carrying it to the bay, endangering the

DISCRETIONARY POLICEMEN.
City Letter Carriers to BE Equipped
With Police Whistles.

City Letter Carriers to BE Equipped
With Police Whistles.
Some time ago Postmaster Willett con-
cluded that it would be an excellent thing
If the letter carriers who are assigned to
the duty of collecting the mail after dark
were clothed with limited police powers.
His idea was that in their complete ira
versug of the city streets during the night
until an early hour in the morning they
were very apt to run across incidents of
law-breaking which would need the i'm
mediate attention of the regular police.
THE men ride bicycles or drive two-wheel-
ed CARTS" said Postmaster Willett today,
land IN their rapid fight over the concrete
they make practically no noise. This is
particularly true of the bicycle riders. On
pectedly upon night providers and suspi-
cious characters, burglars or fights in To-
calitieS where no policeman happens to be
present at the particular moment.
II thought it would be good thing, there
fore, if the night collectors were equipped
with police whistles and instructed in
their use. so that when they discovered
something that needed police attention
they might sound call and bring regu-
lar officer quickly to the place. With this
in view, l addressed a letter to Maj. VII
liam G. Moore, superintendent OF police,
suggesting that the night carriers be al
lowed TO carry ponce WHISTLES 1oF TIE puT-
poses mentioned. Maj. Moore grote me in
reply that there would be no objection to
this, and in short time our night men
will have the whistles and be instructed in
their proper use. OF course, they will be
used only in cases of distress emer-
gency.''
Mr.. Willetts idea was conveyed to many
of the chiefs of police already in the city
for their convention, which meets tomor-
row, and all spoken to heartily approved it
as being an excellent system for adoption
in their own homes Consequently, it is
probable that the matter will be brought
before the convention for considera tion
and it's general adoption in large cities be
recommended
