They Decline to Receive Paltry Sum
From the Supervisors.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, March 10. I
The Ladies Aid Society feels that it has
been insulted by the Supervisors. The So
ciety has been carrying on very useful
work for many years. About two years
ago they leased large building on Thir-
teenth street and opened a cooperative
home. The institution was soon placed
the place was partly destroyed by fire and
the furniture was ruined. Unfortunately
the ladies did not carry any insurance and
their loss was very heavy.
Last Monday they appealed to the Su-
pervisors for aid and the sum of $25 was
voted them. This sum was considered
very paltry in view OF the showing made
before the board of the work done by the
home. To-day the ladies sent the follow
ing communication to the CLERK of the
board:
Board Of Supervisors Of alameda County
HONORABLE SIRs: The meag ger pittance of $25
you have seen fiji to apportion to assist the La
dies Cooperative Aid Society after their Sc
we're loss by fire is too insignificant to find
welcome in the home where so many have
found food and shelter when short of means
Ii the society is Obliged to fail that inferior
sum will not prevent it, and the ladies prefer
to struggle on in the future in the past, trust
ing in God and those who believe in the
brotherhood of man, and do unto others as
they would be done by, rather than feel under
any obligations for so small favor from the
county they have saved hundreds, yes, per-
haps thousands OF dollars Therefore we most
respectfully decline to receive the appropria-
ton.

PROFIT FROM CITY LAND.

The Merritt Estate Has Been Deriving
1t for Many Years.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,)
90S Broadway, March g.
Mayor Davie claims to have found a new
plan to keep the Twelfth street dam in
repair. He has also discovered that the
wealthy Merritt estate has been collecting
about $3.50 per year for rents from prop
erty that belongs to the city. Tonight
the following statement from the Mayor
was read at the meeting OF the Council:
Gentlemen: Your attention is respectfully
called to the fact that the Merritt estate col
lects a monthly rental from the keepers OF the
lighthouses at the Twelfth-street dam OH Lake
Merritt The said rental amounts to about
1850 per annum and has been SO collected for
years past.
The lighthouses are owned by the parties oc
cupying them, and thev are paying the said
rental for the space occupied by the houses
and docks.
1t appears that the space occupied by the
said lighthouses belongs to the city of Oakland
and not to any private parties. The records do
not show that the said property is or ever has
been assessed TO the Merit. estate or any other
parties or person.
Therefore, if the above facts in reference to
