MAY DEFEAT THE BONDS.
Oakland TaxpayersA Are Threat
ened With an EnOr-
nous Levy.
The Necessary Vote Could Not Be
Obtained Last Year at a
Special Election.

The action of the City Council in passing
to print, on Friday night. the ordinance
calling a special bond election has aroused
the Populists, who are making active eff
forts to repeat their work OF September of
last year. On that occasion the question
of refunding the maturing bonds for $780,
0O0was submitted to the electors and hope
lessly beaten. The bonds are now nearly
due and the same question is to be voted
on again.
1t is almost certain that the measure
will be defeated and if such proves to be
the case the September tax levy will have
to be increased from ST. II to 81 AZ to meet
the obligations. The same organized eff
fort on the part Of the Populists will be
made, and they claim that they can easily
prevent the two-thirds vote necessary to
legalize the reissue of the bonds.
When the question was submitted to the
electors last September less than one
quarter of the usual number of votes was
cast. OF these 1884 were for the bonds and
sos against. The reissue was, therefore,
killed at that time. Since then the Popu-
lists have increased in numbers and re-
ceived much encouragement by the election
of County Treasurer, Sheriff and Super
intendent of Schools last November and
by the election of Mayor Davie last March.
A Populist Chief of Police will take office
on August l, aud will still further
strengthen the party. As one OF the
planks of their platform is in opposition
to the issue of bonds it is very probable
that the $140,0 600 will have to be provided
for in the tax levy.
'Should the measure be lost at the
polls, :" said the Auditor yesterday, "there
will be he alternative but to provide for
the payment Of the matured bonds in the
tax levy to be made in September. 1t will
cause fearful rate to be made, as 35 cents
| will require to be added, solely for the pur-
pose of paying the bonds.
"At the last election, when this very
same question was voted upon, less than
25 per cent Of the voters turned out, and
| the measure was killed. | have not much
! faith in special elections, but if the taxpay-
ers don't want to have an enormous in
crease in their taxes they had better put in
an appearance on August 81"
| Should the Popuhsts vote unanimously
| the refunding proposition would be beaten,
but there is some difference of opinion re,
garding the policy of bond issues, and as q
| large number of the party is composed OF
small owners it is hoped by the large tax,
payers that personal inclinations will out
weigh party fe2lty

experience and q mind devoted to his profess
sion, Dr. Sweany should have achieved his en-
viable reputation for curing distressing and
obstinate cases which had been given up as in
durable?
AS vet no case of failure can be discovered
against him, and such ability and skill to COM
bat and conquer all diseases OF men and women
have never before been demonstrated.
Although the doctor charges in some cases
more than ordinary physicians and specialists.
his services are certainly of different value, and
if any one thing be worth more than anything
else it is certainly the services of a competent
and successful physician and specialist who
never loses sight of single case until perfect
ane permanent cure is effected. Those who
are afflicted should not waste time, money and
health dosing with cheap treatments, cheap
medicines and nostrums.
The Doctor gives his services free of charge
to the poor and worthy who call at his Office
every Friday afternoon, and many expressions
of gratitude and praise go out daily from the
poor as well as from those who have paid him
well for valuable and successful services rem
dered. AS man DR.. Sweany is truly upright,
conscientious and charitable, and as physi-
clan he is thoroughly competent, earnest and
successful and any and all persons who may
be suffering from any human ailments what
ever will do themselves a great injustice ii
they do not call upon him, even if their troub-
les have resisted all other efforts to cure. He
treats nervous debility of every kind, name and
nature far in advance of any other institution
in this country.

1t was also stated in the petition that
SOS, 566 is annually expended on the boats,
and that one or two are so feeble that it
is not expected they will pass the next in
spection of the naval inspectors.
A big reduction was next asked for the
narrow-gauge ferry-boats. Their ages
were not given. The reductions asked are ::

Mr.. Ryan next applied for big reduc-
tons for the Oakland Street Railway Com
-pany. This includes Telegraph avenue.
San Pablo avenue and TN elfth-street
horsecar lines. Mr.. Ryan said the roads
were being operated at loss, and conse-
quently the franchises were worthless.
The Pacific Improvement Company was
next heard from. Mr.. Ryan said the land
owned by the company was assessed for
$71, 775. This is the property near the
: narrow-gauge depot at Fourteenth street,
Oakland.
II do not know how the surrounding
land is assessed, said Agent Ryan, "but
all we want is a square deal. We want
no fayors and now, gentlemen, that is all. I"
