THE MONUMENT FUND.
A Neat Sum Realized From the Pre-
sidio Military tournament.

The military tournament at the Presidio
on Admission day has Melted to the Lin
coin monument fund 500. which was on
Tuesday turned over 10 the treasurer,
Colonel c. Mason Kline, and deposited
with the rest of the money collected i'll the
Bank OF California.
About $1,000 has so far been banked. 1t
is understood that q board of seven trus-
tees, selected from prominent business
men of this city, will be shortly appointed
TO take charge OF permanent fund, which
viii! be put on interest and remain un-
touched until the com pletion of the work
of the league.
The executive board met at the head
quarters of the Grand Army on Wednes-
day and audited and passed the various
bills. The total expenses of the tourna-
ment were s1025 %, as against 1928 rs re-
ceipts.
The executive board has taken stems to
issue an exceptionally fine steel engraving
of Abraham Lincoln. The design will be
copyrighted and issued TO subscribers OF
certain amounts. The league now being

majority of the Supervisors considered 1t
a humbug il was abolished.
The board wanted to abolish the office
of gas inspector. but not being ceftain as
to lis powers referred the matter to the
CITY and County Attorney after cutting
off the $3.50 allowed in the estimate for his
expenses. The present inspector is e. l..
Tay or, and Supervisor Buggy declared
him incompetent.
The Grand Jury expenses have been cut
from $500 to $3.50, on motion OF Super
visor Barry, who said that while many
abe men had served on that body they
had never rendered $3.50 worth of service
to the city.
For expenses for iurymen in crimina al
cases $50 900 was allowed, while the al
lowance foc their meals was cut from $1,000
to $500.
The Sheriff was granted $500 for the
keep of two horses; $4,000 was allowed for
the interment of INDECENT ex-Untted
States sailors and soldiers. The Law
Library asked $500 for expenses and only
$500 was allowed. The License Collector
asked $1,000 for expenses. but $500 was
considered sufficient. The Mayor was
allowed $500 for contingent expenses.
No one seemed to know why $2320
should be allowed for the making of a
military roll so the matter was referred
to the City and County Attorney. Barry
had the $500 estimate for printing tran
scripts on appeal cut to $1,000.
Their the estimate for fuel for public
buildings was cut from $4,000 to $4,000,
and the estimate jor furniture and re pairs
cut from SIS, 600 to $4,000.
The estimate OF $40, 900 for lighting pub
lie buildings was slashed to $35 600 and
on the Mayors declaration that public
funds could not be appropriated for pri-
vale disbursement the $1,000 that has
yearly been allowed the San Francisco
Benevolent Society was stricken off the
list
The board thought $22.500 was an ex-
travagant amount to be allowed for sta
tionary and printing, and cut the amount
to SIS, 600. Other amounts in the estimate
for the main enance of prisoner, feeble
minded children, water for public pur-
poses. registration and election expenses,
were al owed TO be correct.
The matter of the payment of court re-
porters' bills was discussed at length.
The mem bers of the board wanted to stop
the raid on the treasury, and requested
the CITY and County Attorney TO turn sh
them with an opinion as to the best
method of reporters collecting money
from the treasury without submitting
their bills to the board. An ac iournment
was then taken until 10 o'clock this morn
