PostOGicc Department Hns IA Plan To
SnNc ~ Big ENncnAc Itcm.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The system of
allowing overtime claims or letter carriers
throughout the country will be practically
abolished soon. This is in accordance with
the policy begun by First Assistant Post
master General Jones at the beginning of
the administration. AT that time claims for
extra compensation for overtime in work
were accumulating at the rate of 0,00O hours
a month This source OF great expense to the
service has been steadily diminishing and
the reports for October show that the amount
for that month was only 1S6 hours for regu-
lar letter carriers and 1877 hours for substi
tutes. The department regards the over
time in nine cases out of ten as unnecessary
and Mr.. Jones says 1t will do away with
overtime altogether save in rare cases where
there is actual necessity.

The Westervelt girl who as a wit
ness yesterday said she was II years

asked if she knew what becomes of per-
sons who did not tell the truth, she
could not answer. Here is girl who in

being reared in ignorance but allowed to

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
There Was No Quorum at Last Even
ing'S Meeting.

The City Board of Education held a
special meeting last evening at which
Director Sherburn presided in the alb
sence of President Davis.
The roll-call disclosed the fact that
there was not a quorum present only
Sherburn, Brown, Perkins and Whit
heck being on hand, SO that only an in
formal discussion of matters was had.
Superintendent Erlewine stated to the
members present that it was very nee
esSary to take some action as early as
possible on number of claims on build
ing contracts. The bills in question were
as follows:
G. A. Wendt, $67S; F. w. Book, S1100;
Atwood & Roberts, $500; G. w. Mckay,
5 900; Friend & Terry, $3.50.
1t was agreed that the bills should be
turned over to the Finance Committee
for approval. Mr.. Sherburn stated that
Director Crouch, Chairman of that COM
mittee, would return to the city from
Lake Tahoe on Thursday, and that he
would then have the bills approved, so
that the contractors could get their
warrants on Saturday.
superintendent Erlewine reported
that he had been waited on by COM
mitee from the Federated Trades, who
complained that the State law was be-
ing violated in the work on the school
buildings, contractors working their
men in several instances nine and more
hours per day. He had examined the
various contracts, and found that there
was not an eight-hour clause, as pro-
vided by law.
The contractors, he said, had been no.
titled, and the desired change had been
made. Those working after hours will
hereafter be paid by the hour.
An adjournment was then taken until
Thursday, the 9th.

THE MACADAM STREETS.
1t Should bs Somebody's Duty t.
Keep Them Clean.

1t would seem that the property own
ers along the few macadamized streets,
which cost them so much money, ought
to raise a few dollars and have the ac-
cumulations of mud ETC., scraped off.
The city street fund is out of money,
and there seems to be no hope of the
city doing this very important work, at
least for some time to come.
1t would take a couple of men prob
ably not more than couple of days
with team and scraper, to remove al
the dirt from the blocks on Seventeenth
and Tenth streets, and the cost would
be but a trifie.
These blocks, if kept free from dirt
would be as smooth as asphalt, but by
not being cleaned from one end of the
year to another they are little better
than the so-called gravel streets.

SAN FRANCISCO OBJECTS.
Pleads Hard Times and Doesn't Want
Higher Assessments.
Her Officials Given Until September
1st in Which to Get
Ready.

The State Board of Equalization yes
terday postponed until September 1st
the hearing of what the Supervisors Of
Monterey County have to say against
an increase of their assessment roll.
This change was made on a request
from the Board of Supervisors.
San Francisco also asked for further
time, and September I'd was fixed for
the hearing. A communication was re-
ceived from the Merchants Association,
the Mayor, and the Assessor asking for
the extension.
The Republican County Committee
also forwarded resolutions declaring
that depression in business and de-
cline in real estate below it's assessed
valuation had been brought about by
the strange and fantastic vagaries of
the National Democratic party.
Mayor Sutro wrote the following let
ter to the board:
Being confined to my ranch in Napa
County by a slight indispostion 1t de-
prives me of the honor of applying per-
sonally to your board on the 18th inst,
concerning the assessment of the City
and County of San Francisco. The ex-
traordinary high tax levy of last year
of 50 % per 500 caused a marked de-
cline in real estate values which cannot
be estimated at less than 10 per cent,
or, in the rough $50, ,000,0 900.
Notwithstanding this depreciation
our assessment values have this year
been raised S30,00O0O0 over those OF
last year, making a total difference OF
$60, 900, 900. The proper mode of equal
ization should be to reduce our valua-
tions $60,000000 instead of raising
them. We will, however, not ask your
honorable board for this reduction, as
there is no probability that you will
grant it. With the same confidence, we
hope, under this statement of facts, that
you will not raise our assessment and
will let the matter go as it now stands.
There are no counties on the list to be
heard to-day, but Butte will have a
hearing tomorrow.

All went we'll for a time till the un-

He said it was impossible, as he
would have TO pull everything down,
