Taylor Rogers was the first man named
for Mayor ana was mentioned by Attor-
ley Haskell. He declined the nomina-
tion and ended by naming Anderson.
The meeting was called to order by a
reading of the report of the committee on
resolutions by Rogers, chairman. Its
principal recommendations were:
That the Board of Supervisors shall, as a
Board OF Equalization, so correct the assess
ments upon taxa BILE property that the appor-
tionment against the banks, mill lionaires and
corporations shall be to its full cash value as
directed by the constitution.
The fees of the City and County Surveyor
and shorthand reporters should be reduced.
Water rates should be reduced, pending the
submission of the question of public owner
ship, which should be submitted to the people
at the earliest possible moment.
Street railroads should be compelled to re-
pair between tracks as agreed upon.
We favor the passage OF bill increasing the
powers and facilities of the State Bureau OF
Highways.
The Legislature should declare the bicycle
to be baggage.
We favor the repaving of Market street with
smooth and modern pavement; also the
lighting with electricity of Golden Gate Park
and the removal from our streets of unused
and abandoned rails of streetcar companies.
The conference committee reported to
the effect that as the Raineyites had not
seen fit to appoint committee to confer
on fusion, the body proceed to nominate
its own men, candidates being only
Bryanists. 1t was carriedIunanimously.
Gator made speech against the exemp-
tion clause III favor of judicial nominees,
and the clause was amended to include all
candidates.
The convention decided to get picture
OF Watson, to adorn the chairman's plat
form alongside OF Bryan's picture.
1t was noted that joint committee of
the Populists of Marin and Contra Costa
counties met at 6 Sacramento street yes
terday and indorsed the nomination of c..
j. Montgomery as Senator from the
Eleventh Senatorial District.
The convention then "took a recess" till
P. M. Monday.
