ANSWER OF Mr.. D|NGLE,
POSITION OF THE MANUFACTURE
ERS' ASSOCIATION AS
TO BOILERS.
IT Is Nor A FIGHT AGAINST THE
SUTRo RAILROAD COMPANY,
He SAYS.

Assistant Secretary Fred H. Dingle of
the Manufacturers Association took strong
exception yesterday to the statements of
Colonel w. G. Little of the Sutro Railroad
Company, relative to the protest of the
association against his company buying
Eastern-made boilers.
'In the first place." said Mr.. Dingle, ''I
wish to most emphatically deny that this
association is engaged in any fight against
the Sutro Railroad Company or any other
California industry. 1t is engaged, how
ever, in fight against Eastern manufac-
tured articles where the article desired can
be procured of California manufacture
equal in price and in quality" Mr.. Dingle
then explained certain points of contro-
versy as follows:
When we induced the majority of the State
institutions to give the preference in awarding
contracts Tor supplies to California products
we did not ask them to, in fact, preferred that
they would not, name any particular brand in
their specifications, but would simply ask for
California products.
On the question of safety and liability to ex-
ploslons there is no doubt but that the Califor-
nia-made boiler is equal in these respects to
the Babcock d Wilcox boiler.
In the manufacture of California boilers
there are some parts that have to come from
the East mot being manufactured here) but
am informed from the most reliable source
lndL % per cent OF the cost or q California
boiler stays in California.
Atthe time that the California-street Cable
Railway Company put in their Loilers this as
sociatlon was not in existence. Had it been
there would have been vigorous kick from
this association on the same subject. How
ever, the California-street Railway Company is
only one of all the companies in the City that
are using the Babcock & Wilcox boilers and
the only other electrical line in the City has in
use California boilers entirely.
In short, we think that Mayor Sutro has vio-
q fAh far If h fro, hycaf
ing California made boiler when he could
procure one equal in quality and equal for the
work required 10 the Eastern boiler he did
order. When he gives as his excuse for pur-
chasing the Eastern boiler the fact that the
franchise admits the purchase of patented
articles, we think his excuse is very lame
one.
AS to the question of safety in the use of the
boilers and their liability to explode, l do not
think that Mr.. Little means it when he says
that the California-made boiler is more liable
to disastrous explosions than the Eastern or
any other make boiler.
The controversy between this association and
the Sutro Railroad Company is as to whether
or not the railroad company could purchase in
California boiler as well suited to the work
required of it as the boiler they have ordered
l think they could; in fact, am sure they
could.
The matter was before the Supervisors,
added Mr.. Dingle, and he expressed his
confidence in their disposition of it.

was declared that the requisite number of
lnches OF macada m had not been laid and
the street committee was requested to dig
doWn and measure the depth of the m ate
rial. 1t has been limited that Street Com
mlttee did its digging under the cover of
nlgnI ana Will not disclose the facts dis
covered until report is made to the Town
Board. But this is probably a mere rumor.
Ii Is, however, plain to the naked eye
that there have been some holes dug in the
street, but 1T is claimed that ranchman s
team got tired of waiting for the return of
the master and paved up the street for ex-
erclse. 1t is true, also, that there are some
portions OF the street where the material
used for top dressing is coarser than it
really ought to be. The idea has been ad-
Vanced that this condition resulted from
the dlrt-throwlng recently INDUCED in by
a couple OF belligerent doctors.
The situation would have become really
serious but for a funny story that was
started few days ago. Somebody claimed
that somebody else told him that another
person had heard that Street Superinten-
dent Mccullough had received money from
the contractor to influence his action in
accepting the street. Mr.. McCullough's
promptness in declaring the authority of
the fiction liar and threatening to sue
the retailers of the gossip for damages
made it quite plain that the original fabri-
Gator was humorist, who, in practicing
an after dinner speech at a lunch counter,
forgot the nub to his story.
Regardless of the objections to the work
Mr.. Mccullough is preparing the assess
ment, and he says he has no doubt the
little rumpus will be quieted down by the
time the board meets again, as the work is
satisfactory to persons who know a good
street when they see it. He thinks Gen
eral Dickinson, president of the board, will
sign the assessment and the contractor
will be paid.
AS soon as these things are done the
property owners will be relieved of all
further responsibility and the town will
have to keep the streets in order.

SAUSAL|TO'S D|SCONTENT,
DISSATISFACTION EXPRESSED AT
THE ACCEPTANCE OF WATER
STREET.
The STREET SUPERINTENDENT SAYS
THE GRADE AND THE WORK
ARE SATISFACTORY.

Sausalito is unhappy. The sunshine of
life in that pretty hill suburb is marred by
a cloud of discomfort. The past summer
has been spent in much needed street
improvement that has cost the property
owners along Water and A streets many
sleepless nights of anxiety.
Now that the streets have been accepted
by Street Superintendent Mccullough
objections have been made that the work
has not been done according to specifi-
cations.
The glory of possessing two macadam-
lied streets is dimmed by the discovery of
the fact that Water street wears its crown
one sided. Some wanted the street to
slant with the hill and thus turn the drain
age all to the gutter, on the bay side.
Others declared they did not covet all the
water in town. The owners on the upper
side demanded that portion of the water
be permitted to run In their cutters. What
was the use of paying for guttering, they
wanted to know, if they could have no
water init during the rainy season. The
Engineer followed the wishes of the ma
jority and the dictates of his own COM
nonsense in making the grade and gave
it a crown. The crown is not in the mid
die OF the road, as good crowns usually

HIS FOOT CRUSHED.
Robert Douglass Caught in an Elevator
Chain at Fremont-Street
Store.

Robert Douglass, a porter employed by
Miller, Sloss & Scott, the hardware deal
ers, on Fremont street, was operating the
elevator at the sidewalk in front of the
store yesterday morning when his left
foot was caught in the heavy chain that
runs over pulley and operates the ma
chinery. The foot was dragged right
around with the chain and was crushed
before the machinery could be stopped.
Amputation will probably be necessary.
A physician was summoned and the in
jured man was taken care of in the store.
and later in the day was removed to his
home in Oakland.
Douglass is man of about SO years. He
held the position at the hardware estab-
lishment for twenty years, entering the
employment of the Hunting H opkins
& Scott, in 1875. During most of that
period he has operated the elevator at
which he was finally injured.

THE SAUSALITo TIDE GAUGE REG
ISTERED A TERRIFIC Dis
TURBANCE.
SILENT STORY OF THE OCEAN.
THE MUTE WATCHER OF THE COAST
SURVEY GAVE A TIMELY
WARNING.

If the automatic tide-gauge at Sausalito,
from which the United States Geodetic
Survey receives much valuable informa-
ton, is not at fault and it has never
been known to be so-a great storm or
submarine disturbance, long in duration
and terrific in force, has taken place at no
great distance from San Francisco, and
the news of its results will probably be
brought in by some vessel within short
time.
The tide-gauge is an automatic, deli
cately adjusted instrument so nicely bal
anced that even a heavily breaking bar
has an effect on it, and the passage of
storms or the occurrence of great SUBJ
marine disturbances are registered in a
manner which cannot be misunderstood.
