THE STATE BOARD
Debris Commissioners Want Their Pay-A
Legal fiol!day

SACRAMENTO, June 29.-There was
a short meeting of the state board Of ex
aminers today, at which an opinion
from the attorney general was read to
the effect that John F. Kidder, debris
commissioner, and r. l. Thomas, the
secretary of the debris commission, were
not entitled to pay for the time they had
served prior to the third of this month.
The opinion was based on the belief that
the state appropriation did not begin to
run until after the national appropria-
tion was made. The amount which Kid
der der claims to be due him is $500,
and Thomas claims $3.50. Both men will
carry the matter into court.
A message was received from Gov
ernor Budd declaring week from Tues
day to be legal holiday to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the raising of the
American flag at Monterey.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Many
people interested in the management of
pugilistic contests are sending kilograms
all over the country in search of an avail
able spot for the Corbett-Sharkey
match. Dan Stuart's Mexican conces-
sion is still held in reserve. Several To-
cal and Eastern sports have been can
vassing the possibilities of securing a
location in Nevada. Unless something
unforeseen happens, there will be con-
certed effort to have the big mill take
place in Nevada.
The state and federal authorities, how
ever, may not relish the idea and may
defeat the aims of the fistic enthusiasts.
c. NJ. Humphrey, United States marshal
of the district of Nevada. has already
expressed himself as being opposed to
the holding of any contests contrary to
the federal laws. AS yet the leading
state officials have not expressed them
selves.
Governor Budd has placed quietus
on the Santa Catalina scheme, and the
only battle ground that now practically
remains open is the one across the Mex
lean border. There is some talk of a
stretch of ground in the vicinity of Yu-
ma, but this location is thought to be
unfavorable SO far as drawing good
crowd is concerned, and it will in all
probability be given a wide berth. as
the gate receipts will be an important
factor in the consummation of the
match.

SAILING is SMOOTH.
That Is as Far as the River
Front is Concerned.
GRADES READY FOB TONIGHT

And There Is No More Occasion For
Aidermanic Delay ~ to the Lsvee I,n-
provemsnt-An Can he Accomplished
This Fail.
1t is confidently anticipated that
the council will act definitely on the
river front improvement at its
semi-monthly meeting this even
ing. 1t is not known what may be
contidentially expected.
AT the last meeting OF the council
the matter was left in allegiance solely
pending the arrival of Engineer
Loweth, of the Bridge and Terminal
company PROJECT. 1t was conceded
that as soon AS the engineer could
arrive aud make the proper surveys
for the tracks of his Company the
new 2, AIDE ordinance would be pre-
sented and the Improvement ordi-
nance adopted. Engineer Loweth
has made his surveys and City At
torney Haas claims TO have every
thing ready to 60 into court tomor-
row morning, so that the council
from every point of reason may be-
relied upon to do its duty tonight,
so that the work may be done during
the low water this fall and that there
may be no further delay in the
adoption of the necessary court pro-
ceedings. The preliminaries have all
advanced to the point now where
efforts at further delay eau only be
construed as evidence of hostility to
the entire undertaking.
ANY plea on the part the Termin-
al company that there is no room to
establish its tracks would be purely
subterfuge, as the council has given
it authority to establish its grades
and it i. no business Of the company
what tracks may be there now. That
is for the council to determine and
City Attorney j. l.. Haas has already
advised the council in his official
capacity that the council is master
of the situation and that it has full
power to make way for the new rails
As far as disputed rights on First
avenue sre concerned that can hardly
be revived at this time consistently,
as the council has made overtures to
the corporations already there and
knows the result.
Ali May Go Tonight.
So that all things considered all
may 60 through satisfactorily tonight.
II all corporations Interested could
have been induced to act in har mony
so much the better, but time and
patience have been exhausted in
striving for the end. II the com nit
tee can bring in an agreement to-
night mutually acceptable, as it can
do. if such an agreement can ever be
possible. the fact will be all the
more gratifying, but further delay
will be of but one effect, and that is
detrimental to the city Of which the
