FIXING THE CITY FUNDS,
Money for the Municipal Man
Sard Roof and Paving
Eighth Street.
Supervisor King Makes a Lonely
Fight for Extravagant Appro-
priatlonS.

The Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors met last night to pass upon
appropriation of funds for the fiscal year
Supervisors Taylor, Hobbs and Benjamin,
comprising the committee, were present
and acted with other members of the board
as if it was a committee of the whole.
Only Supervisors Spreckels and Wagner
were absent.
The sum of $4,000 appropriated for the
fire alarm and police telegraph was divided
as follows: Patrol, $31, ,250; salaries, 5000;
material, $1730. For the City Hall com
struction fund $500, 900 was appropriated to
be expended on the roof.
Supervisor Benjamin moved that $25,-
600 be appropriated for the new Home for
Inebriates, with the explanation that more
could be given to continue the work next
year. King wanted to have $100, 900 appro-
priated and Dimond fought him on the
ground that he opposed saddling any more
debts upon the taxpayers, and he favored
the erection of building as required.
Whereupon King assured him quite pleas
antly he was talking to the gallery"
Morgenstern remarked, make it $4,000. !"
"You can't build nothing for $50, ,000,"
King replied, and next offered to compro-
mise on $50, ,000-a reduction of 10 per cent.
Chairman Taylor mentioned the Marine
Hospital as an illustration of how the
building could be constructed from year to
year according to demand, and how $25, 900
would be good start. DR.. Gavigan re-
viewed the law on the subject, but it was
finally laid aside to await the City Attor-
ney's decision.
Appropriating $1o, 900 for City map and
surveys was laid over pending advice from
engineers.
The appropriation of 5000 to pay for
property to be condemned at Dunbar alley
and Washington street as part of the site
for the proposed police and Jail building,
was discussed. Supervisor King valued
the property at 100000 and urged that an
appropriation of $500, 900 be made-$5O, 900
for the lots and $3.50 for the building.
The matter was dropped, however, until
an opinion is received from the City and
County Attorney.
For paving Eighth street from Market to
Folsom with bituminous rock $6500 was ap-
propriated to pay the City's half of the
expense.
The committee adjourned until Friday
evening.

ALL FOR BBLVEDERE.

Sprecke1s' Line of Red-Stack Tugs Will
Be on Hand at the Night in Venice.
In order to add to the features of the
Night in Venice, to occur on the Sd Of
August in Belvedere, the Spreckels brothers
have agreed to decorate their red-stack
tugs and convey throng of friends to the
land of summer homes. They will line up
bow on behind the yachts along the bar,
and thus completely hedge in the scene OF
the water parade of launches, rowboats
and arks. This will permit those occu-
pying the tugs to have magnificent,
unobstructed view of the entire pro-
gramme and at the same time lessen the
crowd on land.
Owners of yachts are spreading them
selves on decorations, and Photographer
Bushnell says he will win the pennant
offered as prize for the most beautifully
decorated yacht if he has to spend $500 IN
ribbons and elegance. Others are operat-
ing on the same lines, and it looks as if
something very fine would be the result.
The Belvedere Land Company have
agreed to furnish sufficient quantity of
lanterns to light up the places not occupied
bv dwellings.
In order to accommodate those of the
visitors who wish to ride about twenty
buses will be on hand Half of them will
carry white flag during the day and a
white lantern in the evening. They will
proceed up the road to the first turn at DR..
Haines' residence and then turn to the
right and go back to the boat by way of the
schoolhouse road. Immediately after the
fireworks, lasting until $50, this route will
be reversed. The remaining Buses carry
ing the red flag or red lantern, will take
the beach road to the second turn at the
Log Cabin, move to the right and return
to the ferry slip by the schoolhouse road.
Immediately after the fireworks this route
will be reversed also.
During the pyrotechnic display all teams
must be off the beach road to the first turn
at DR.. Haines' driven to the bank at the
wide portion of the road and tied until it
is over.
A diagram and a list of the residents of
the island will be given each bus-driver to
assist guestsln the location of their friends.
Only invited guests will be allowed to en-
ter the grounds or use the buses. The
fare each way is set at 10 cents and compe-
tent drivers will be provided to answer all
questions for information.

O'Farrell street in about a week for the
purpose of agitating movement to close
all shops in the City at s o'clock every
evening excepting Saturday and days pre-
ceding holidays. The object Is to shorten
the hours of labor. Many shops keep open

posed, too, that the associations constitu-
ton and bylaws be changed. BARRIERS in
many of the interior towns are applying

Vomited and threw off the poison so COM
pletely that she was soon out of bed play
ing about the room. Mamma lay asleep
in the bed, baby was quiet and papa dozed
in his chair at the other end of the room.
Little Lois found pencil and with it
drew rude pictures on the wallpaper.
Mamma and papa would scold if they
knew, SO Lois kept very quiet, only cooling
softly to herself as she made the marks
with the pencil.
When tired of this she played with kitty.
The kitten was in her arms when a lodger
opened the door. 1t was not locked. Lois
might have opened it had she been few
inches more in stature. She tried to do so.
BY and by she grew hungry, but mamma
and papa slept on. How very soundly
they slept.
When the child's hunger increased she
began to cry out for mamma and papa to
wake. 1t was these cries that attracted
the notice of a lodger in the next room.
He came around to the door and looked
in. There sat the man stark dead in his
chair. On the bed lay the woman and
babe, both motionless. She was young
not more than 28-and fair to look upon.
He was only four years her senior. Their
friends say their domestic relations were
harmonious, even happy. They were
blessed with good health, and their child
ren were bright and pretty.
1t was the battle with the shadow of the
wolf that decided them upon their course.
They were not actually hungry, but the
wolf was always near them, it seems.
On page of notebook, written in lead
pencil by the man, was found this note:

At ATLANTA.
Preliminary Work for a State
Exhibit at the Big Fair
in Georgia.
The State Board of Trade Appoints a
Working Committee With
Power to Act.

An interesting meeting of the trustees of
the State Board of Trade was held yester-
day to begin the work of sending special
exhibit of California products to the big
fair that opens in Atlanta, Ga, in Septem-
ber. The trustees decided to accept the
space offered and make up the exhibit at
once. Also to call upon the counties for
the money as apportioned at the recent Su-
pervisors' convention.
The Half-million Club will be asked for
its stereoptican views, which will be used
at the lectures at Atlanta. All the press
associations and the San Francisco papers
will be requested to support the efforts to
make the exhibit grand success.
The California Fish and Game Commits
sion will be invited to make an exhibit of
the food fish in the waters of the State; the
California Wooden Mills to display their
products, and the Union Iron Works to
display models of the warships constructed
in San Francisco. Special exhibits of sugar
pine and redwood lumber will be made.
All of the counties will be asked to con-
tribute literature descriptive of their locali-
ties. A resolution was passed that the
State Board of Examiners be requested to
expend in advertising the State the unap-
propriated money not expended for the
''Resources of California that was sent to
the Worlds Fair at Chicago. A request
will be made to all the counties having
electric power facilities to prepare maps
and give descriptions OF the resources and
and possibilities in this direction. The
idea is to show the vast amount of electric
energy that can be developed from the
water power of the State. All of the Cali
fornia railroads will be asked to contribute
maps of all the railroad systems in the
State.
The Chamber of Commerce of San Fran
cisco will furnish literature and a map,
showing the commercial relation of San
Francisco and means of communication
with the world, and also furnish map
showing the commercial advantages OF the
construction of the Nicaragua canal, and
the relation of the sea coast OF California to
the shortest practicable sailing route be-
tween the western terminus of the Mica
ragua canal and the Asiatic ports.
Vice-President Emery and E. W. Maslin
were appointed as a committee to advise
with and consult Manager Filcher in re-
gard to contracts and other matters per-
taing to the details of sending the exhibit
to Atlanta. This committee has full
power to act.
