If they had at first settled down to the
fact that we had so much money to
spend, and worked with me to make
every cent count, more things could have
been done. Remember, the city had been
run on an extravagant basis for the four
months before the tax levy was fixed, and
still if the S23, 900 had not been taken from
the street-light fund "a thing which
legally could not have been done-we
would have had that money left as sur
plus or expended it repairing streets and
keeping open the High School and read
lng-rooms. The Board of Education got
more money than it needed, as is demon
strated by its having enough left to equip
a Manual Training School. More work
has, believe, been done during the past
year than the year previous. Nearly
every office in the build ing has been beau
tifuiiy refitted, the engine houses have
been repaired, sewers extended, streeIS
Kept up, the garbage removed, and II is ali
humbug to say that it was not well done
Another thing. When / came into once,
which was three months before the endlng
OF the year 1894-95 we had had high tax
rate and yet one of the first things
learned was that deficit OF $15 600 was ex-
pected. We did absolutely nothing those
three months 10 save money enough. to
come out even. This year we have worked
right up to the last. We have money
enough to pay our bills.

evangelical church. Among his numerous
friends the idea is general that he is not
wanted in the Methodist Chui ch South,
and that all the changes to which he has
been subjected are but part of plan to
bring about his severance from that organ
iZation.
About three years ago Rev. Mr.. Bane
was pastor of the NJ. E. Church South in
Oakland. He was very popular, and there
was a great deal of dissatisfaction shown
when he was removed. a trustee of the
Asbury Church South made the following
explanation of affairs to-day:
''Mr. Bane has undoubtedly come under
the ban of those n embers who dominate
the conference" he said, land everybody
here Is interested in the outcome. Few
ministers that have been in Oakland have
had more friends. He was a Mason, an
Elk, Workman, an Odd Fellow, and was,
besides, powerful preacher. From Oak
land he was transferred to the large Trim
ity Church at Los Angeles There he
worked as hard as ever, and created so
much interest that, we believe, some of his
brethren in this conference rather envled
him, and decided that it would be a good
thing to dampen his ardor somewhat
Bane became aware OF this, and he applied
to the conference for permission to become
q iOOdl pfSdCueT WITHOUT definite assign
ment. This was denied him, as he wanted
to be an evangelist, and the NJ. E. Church
South is not friendly 10 evangelists.
"After this he was sent to little church,
where he received about S40O a year, at
San Diego. His friends here believe he
was sent there in the hope that he would
rebel and so take himself out of the
church. At San Diego he soon built up
such large congregation that he was
forced TO hire a large hall, as his church
was inadequate to the membership. He
chafed under restraint, however, and
said that if the conference would not let
him go, he would be forced to go. This
was just what was wanted, but Mr. Bane
did not obIige his opponents so readily,
and now there is some doubt as to his
standing. He seems to have left his
church, but his friends say that he has
gone on vacation granted by the congre-
CATION, while his opponents declare that
he has rebelled against the government of
the church, and has done what his enemies
in the conference wanted him to do. We ex-
pect him in Oakland shortly, and he would
have no difficulty in quickly organizing
an independent church."

Mrs. Nellie Butler, the old army nurse,
has been comfortably quartered at Fabiola
Hospital until arrangements can be COM
pleted to place her permanently in one of
the homes for INDECENT army nurses like
that supported in Santa Clara County by
the Women's Relief Corps. Mrs. Sarah
c. Borland of Appomattox Corps, Mrs.
Ernest Osgood, Mrs. Helen Kelley and
Mrs. Mccarthy have been instrumental in
making her life enjoyable at the close.
Mrs. Butler was born in Tennessee and
married a West Point graduate named
Howard Morton. He was wounded at Fort
Donelson and died shortly after. Mrs
Mort on went on the field as nurse, serving
at White House Landing, Point of Rocks,
Cold Harbor. 1t was bullet in one limb
but she recovered so that she could resume Q
operations as nurse, making her headquar-
ters al Point of Rocks, where DR.. Warren
was in charge.
Il Whenever she went out among the
troops in the field she was followed and
assisted in all her work of mercy by four
colored servants, who in earlier days had
been her slaves in Tennessee. These col.
ored men heartily seconded her efforts in
the field and remained with her until the
close of the war. She came West, married
a man named Butler, and lived at Benicia
until her husband died several years ago.
She was gwen pension OF $12 month

TRUSTEES ARE JUSTIFIED
Judge Frick Approves the City's
Action in Enlarging Its
Light Works.
The Report of the Library Trustees
Shows Phenomenal Increase
of Readers.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July 1.-The iniunc
tion case of Fleming against the City
Trustees was resumed this morning. All
the City Trustees and city officials were
present as well as School Director Lank-
tree, Brainard G. Brown, secretary of the
Municipal League, 1. P. Allen of the
Library Trustees and T. G, Daniels.
After Trustees Forderer, Fletter and
Clark had been examined on behalf of the
city Judge Frick said he wanted to hear no
further evidence. In his opinion the City
Trustees were justified in incurring the
expenditures for the power at the electric
light works. All he wished now was to
have the arguments of counsel on the
point of the city having power to sell light
to the citizens. Five days time was
granted counsel to file their briefs on the
question.
Library Trustees Report.
ALAMEDA, CAL, July 1.-The Board of
Library Trustees has filed its annual
report with the City Clerk, together with
the report of the librarian, as provided for
under section XI of the act of $780,
The receipts for the year are given as
S1029S 3S and the disbursements $7359 10,
leaving a balance of S2939 19.
Particular stress is laid on the phenom-
enal increase in the circulation of books
for home use, (which has rapidly and
steadily increased from 81, ,132 volumes for
1928 to 115 126 volumes for the year lust
ended Few libraries of double our num-
Der of volumes can show such figures"
Further on the trustees with pardonable
pride claim 'that our expenditure on
salaries and working expenses is remark
ably less than that of any other library OF
similar size or circulation in the United
States"
-
chases have been made for the reference
department, and the library has been
made part of the public school system
by affording every facility for furthering
The work laid out in the new course of
study.
The librarians report shows that there
are 20, 416 volumes on the shelves, of which
14,726 are in general circulation. The
daily issue of books averages 37S volumes,
and only twenty-one are said to be miss
ing. The number OF books circulated
during the year reaches lis, l26, and
the average cost to circulate them is
81 mills per volume. Before free access
to the shelves was given, with half the
circulation, the cost was over mills per
volume. Readers have had free access to
the book shelves during the past three
years.
