sence to City Attorney Brown, E. c.
Hart was entitled to a salary for acting
ir; his absence.
The bill was allowed, but the board
will hereafter specify when granting
leave of absence, that the person doing
the work shall receive the salary.
The opinion of Incorporation Counsel
that pending the appeal of Superintend-
ent of Streets Croly the board could pro-
ceed with the charges against him was
read, and on motion Of Devine the trial
OF the charges against the Street Super
intendent was fixed for next Tuesday
night
The opinion Of the Corporation Coun-
sci was also read to the effect that the
claim of NJ. J. Keegan for painting the
music stand at the Plaza was not valid
under the law, the board having no rig hit
to delegate its power to a committee,
and the work not having been ordered
by the board. He also thought it was
a good case to make test of.
Devine did not want a test case, as
Keegan was poor man, and moved the
bill be passed over the Auditors veto,
which was done. Mckay refusing to
vote
Another opinion Of the Corporation
Counsel was read in relation to issuance
of bonds on the sewer proposition and
appears elsewhere. He sent two ordi
nances to choose from.
The ordinances were both read by

them lie over till Monday night for

had thought as this city is not as large
as San Francisco. that officer could
combine the offices Of Milk and Food
Inspector. as one person could do both
things He thought that the offices of
Plumbing and Sanitary Inspectors
should be consolidated and although he
thought this ordinance was needed, he
would not vote for it unless the other
two offices were consolidated

The cowardice of the "Chronicle., /,

The latest development in the controversy has
been the publication OF the open letter OF Charles
NJ Shortridge to the editor OF the Monitor The
reply TO that letter was furnished (as we believe
custom demands) in the form of advance sheets to
The CALL and Examiner Though there were in
the letter expressions which reflected severely
on all the papers i'm partially, the directors OF
THE CALL and Examiner had the courage TO
print the letter precisely as it appears in our
columns to-day.
The editor Of the Chronicle heard of the fact that
advance sheets were to be published and he sent
his representative ask for them We had no
particular wish 10 editor of the Chronicle
and no particular desire 10 see the Open Letter in
its pages. We had. moreover, experience of the
made the distinct condition that the letter should
be il written, not at all. Only on
this condition were the proofsheets furnished.
Al usual. John P. Young was too cowardiy to
print the letter in full and too cowardly keep his
word He WAS anxious 10 injure a rival paper but
could conceive no other way OF iniuring it than the
ours way of swapping at its heels He mutilated
the letter and printed what he considered would
hurt, while the many circumstances related in the
letter which throw different light on the matters
treated were relegated to the waste-basket
To hide what is true is often more mendacious
than 70 suggest what is false. The Chronicle s
method of aling with the open letter TO Charles
NJ. Shortridge shows tha. John P. Young is a past
course, are anxious 10 prove that the Monitor has
been right in its past course. but emphaticaIly
decline such weaFons and such aid.
While we reeret the necessity Of calling public
attention to this contemplate piece of shysferism
we feel that 1t is our duty show that the same
cowardly, insincere and dishonorable policy obtains
to-day in the Chro nicle office which obtained ten
months ago. There has been no amendment

Montgomery avenue there is a little tri-
angle measuring "a feet 10A inches on
Vallejo street, 33:10Z on the avenue and
9:10A on the base.
Upon this bit of land Peter Alferitz, the
owner, has cigar-store, with few rooms
overhead for doctors Office. The Luning
Company wanted this corner so that the
new store would have an un5roken front.
Alferitz intimated that he did not want to
sell, and then offers were made till the
$50, 900 mark was reached. This was met
with the reply that the bit of land could
be had for $4,000. Negotiations were at
an end and now the coveted corner could
not sell for SIC, 900.
The Luning lot measures 137 feet inches
on Vallejo street and 140 feet on the ave-
1ue. Its Stockton-street front is cut up by
a small lot owned by P. Marsicano, which
has frontage of 20 feet and adepth of 571z
feet. ca the north of this lot the Luning
property has front of 81 feet, while on
the south. extending to the Vaileio-street
corner, its length is 661z feet.
Marsicano heard that his wealthy
neighbors wanted the lot and he valued it
at price which those who know about
the matter declare was double the real

clined to do, for the reason it would not
yield to the demand, much as it wished to
secure few square feet of land to improve
the frontage of large building about to
be constructed at that place.
The result is that the Luning Company
has been compelled to prepare plans for
what will probably be the most irregularly
shaped business block in this City. If the
two small lots could have been purchased
the new building would have but four
sides. Now, however, it will present eight
distinct exterior lines, with the most i'm
portant corner cut off, and small, old
fashioned frame house cutting into the
Stockton-street front.
The block in which the Luning Com
psny is building is bounded by Vallejo
and Stockton streets and the avenue. At

RICHMOND NEW PASTOR
A Clergyman Who Has Found a
Church Too Small for His
Congregation.
Bright Ecclesiastical Prospects In Store
tor the Residents of the Fa.
vored Valley.

Richmond will in the near future have a
new Episcopal church. and one that will
in measure be large enough to accommo-
date the increasing congregation which
has been aroused from a condition OF
lethargy since the appearance of the
young pastor, the Rev. 81. II. Clapham.
1t is generally understood that church
is to be erected in the place of the present
guild hall, which viii be turned around
and set at the back of its present site, leav-
ing room for larger and more imposing
structure. This would have become ne
cessity before long, on account of the rap
idly increasing congregation; but the erec-
ton of the new building of the Maria Kip
Orphanage within few blocks of the
present house of worship. which will be
begun in few weeks, makes the call for
better church accommodation urgent.

TREADWELL RESTORED,
The Supreme Court Restores the At
torney His offense Held to
Be Attoned For.


Attorney w. B. Treadwel is a happy
man. After more than eleven years
passed under the stigma of disbarment he
has at last been reinstated as an attorney
in good standing with authority to prac-
tice his profession in all the courts of this
State.
The Supreme Court in raising the ban
of disbarment refers in terms of the
highest commentator to Mr.. Treadwelps s
blameless record during all the years
which he has spent under censure and
cites number of English and American
precedents for its action. The petition
for Mr.. TreadwelPs rehabilitation is
signed by E. B. and George 81. Mastick,
in whose employ as confidential managing
clerk Mr.. Treadwell has been for nine con-
secutive years, during which time their
confidence in him has never been be-
trayed.
The petitioners also call the courts at
tention to Mr.. Treadwelps unstained fam
lily Lie, and further show that the money.
the misappropriation of which caused his
disbarment. has been fully refunded and
repaid to its lawful owners. They believe
him to have atoned for his one misstep and
| urged that his reinstatement could in no
way bring discredit upon the legal profes-
sion. In restoring Mr.. Treadwell to good
standing the courtysays:
No cases holding the contrary view have
| come TO our attention, nor do we find any
thing in the statutes of this State to alter this
rule. The statute merely regulates the pro-
| cedure and in no way defines the effect of the
order upon the powers OF the court. That ef-
| feet must be determined By the ordinary rules
OF law, which, as we have shown, authorize
| the court 70 mitigate the sentence upon q
showing of good cause arising subsequently,.

made and the authorities cited the application
