him is $1,55s, ,1SO 10, which is only 81, ,OO0,-
600 more than was deemed to be sufficient
by the Board of Supervisors for the needs
of the current year. There has been no
material increase during the past year in
the mileage of the public streets of San
Francisco, the rate of wages or the cost of
material, and the citizens, in consequence,
assuming him to be an honest though mis-
guided old gentleman, are inquiring of
one another: ''What is the matter with
Superintendent Ashworth?" 1t Is impos-
sibie to answer with any degree of accu-
racy, although it has been suggested that
his ambition has run away with his iudg-
ment, and that now, in the sere and yellow
leaf, he has degenerated into plant tool
OF unscrupulous and grasping politicians.
Whether or not this be true THE CALL does
not attempt to say, but such at all events is
the firm conviction of many of his former
friends and political supporters. Follow

FAVORABLE CROP REPORTS.
Last Weeks Weather Very Satisfactory to
Enrmers rms Improying

Boston, June 24.-The weekly crop bull
letn of the New England section OF the
Climate and Crop Service of the Weather
Bureau says: The weather in New Eng
land for the week ending June %, 1895 has
been generally warm and dry with plenty
of sunshine. Moderate rain came In
showers on the 18th and 2lst. giving field
and garden crops moisture enough in most
places for surface needs, while the high
temperature of the last of the week has
been very favorable TO plant growth.
Crop cultivation has been carried rapidly
forward under favorable conditions. Corn
has changed in color and pushed ahead
rapidly. Tobacco has made a rapid
growth. In fact all crops are in a very
satisfactory condition. Apples are drop
ping some in central sections but there
Is no general complaint. The outlook for
berries is promising. Haying has been
begun on some fields in each of the three
Southern States, but the work will not be-
come general for another week. Pastures
are excellent. Grass on old fields is still
reported light, but new lands and mea-
dows arc improving and thickening up
fast.
Light general showers fell in Vermont
on the 18th, and again on tho 21st in
southern counties, while In northern dis
tricts over three fourths of an inch OF
rain came on the last named date The
warm welther with the showers, though
light. have brought crops along very fast
Corn and beans especially have shown
marked progress Oats are also looking
much better than week ago. Grass has
improved finely on most meadows, but
more rain il needed for grass fields and
pastures. one correspondent in Windsor
county states that farmers on hill farms
back from the rivers are complaining
bitterly of the great number of grass
hoppers, which are unusually numerous on
high ground. Apples are reported to be
falling quite badly in Addison county
