OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANoIsoo CALL,
OnQ pr1aduou IuIry


908 Broadway, July 3.
A homeopathic physician was elected by
the Board OF Health tonight. 1t was the
first time that member of the new school
has been installed in that position. The
meeting of the board was held just one
minute and half, but it was very inter
esting one and marked the partial culmi-
nation of a plan to work a complete change
in the department..
A year ago Mayor Davie appointed TWO
homeopaths on the board, but DR.. Sarah
Shuey declined to vote for the Mayors
candidate for secretary, and as none of the
holdover members would change, nothing
could be done till week ago, when two
additional homeopaths were appointed.
The new members were Drs. Cham berlain
and Small, and, with DR.. Larkey, they
controlled the board.
To-day notices were sent out for spe-
cial meeting for the purpose of electing
officers. DIR. Shuey, the president of the
board, is out of the City, and DR.. Beck
with, the lone allopath, proposed that DR..
Small be made temporary chairman.
1t was very evident that the three
homeopaths had caucussed and prepared
programme, for everything went like
clockwork. DR.. Chamberlain moved that
the Office of Health Officer, at present held
by DR.. Mayon, be declared vacant. DR..
Larkey seconded. DR.. Small put the
question, he merely asking for the "ayes,"
and declared the vote. DIR. Larkey re-
minded him that there were others. "Oh,
l meant no slur," said DR.. Snail address,
ing DR.. beckwith. II thought, perhaps,
you intended to spare my feelings" said
the allopath.
II wish to propose for the Office of
Health Officer a man known to us all-Dr.
Z. w. Bradley" said DR.. Larkey. DR..
Chamberlain seconded the nomination,
and by the three homeopathic votes DR..
Bradley of that school was made Health
| Officer.
| There were several communications on
the table from applicants who wished to
succeed Paul Schaffer, secretary, who has
| filled the Office for six years. DR.. Cham
berlain moved that having removed the
chief officer enough had been done for one
| night, and that the communications be
| laid on the table. This prevailed The
| board then adjourned.
1t is very evident that the board intends
to make further changes as one of the ap-
plications is from G. o. Alexander, ex-
Harbor Commissioner of San Francisco.
who is known TO be Mayor Davies candi-
date. Ed Finch and X. o. Whitehead are
also anxious to succeed Schaffer. The other
places in the gift of the board are the in

ants. DR.. Mayon's retirement is not be-

lands of Mohr, Whisbye & Penke, were
sold to the State for 81 80.
There were 3270 acres of oyster beds
taken by the State, which it is believed
will furnish the officials with all the
bivalves they need.
The Piedmont and Mountain View
Railroad Company paid $240l SO taxes to
City Treasurer Giipin after the sale of de-
hnquent property began under protest and
thus saved il being sold. The protest was
against the valuation placed on the road
and franchise.
The sale of the Southern Pacific Rail
road for delinquencies footing up to
$7S66 75 was withdrawn on the written
order of Auditor Snow, who believes the
city would suffer by such a sale. 1t covers
their tax on the Seventh-street local. the
tracks at Long wharf and the railroad
yards, which the company claims were
assessed twice.
