TROUBLE FOR GUN CLUBS
Humane Society May Bring an
Action Against the olympic
Gun c ub.
Live Pigeons Must Not Be Shot Within
the Limits of This City and
County

The Olympic Gun Club is expecting
trouble from the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals.
Recently the club held shoot at its
grounds near Ingleside and apart from the
regular inaDimate target smashing the
members of the club INDUCED in the
pastime of killing pigeons.
The humane society heard of the pro-
posed pigeon killing and some of the
members attended the shoot. The presi-
dent and directors OF the club heard the
man of good intentions state that if any
live bird shooting from traps was in
dulged in the society would bring an
action against the club, but they turned
deaf ear to the threat, aud the killing of
pigeons from traps went on without in
terruption during tie afternoon.
The society is determined to give legal
battle to any club that will shoot pigeons
from traps within the City and County of
San Francisco consequently the Olympic
Gun Club expects to appear in court in
the near future on charge of cruelty to
'sanimals." The society has already met
with defeat in its enGeavors to stop pig
cons ooting, and the Olympic Gun CLUB
is sanguine that the matter VIII! be thrown
out of court when the evidence is heard.
Sunday and Monday next the Inani-
mate Target Association will hold its an
nual tournament at Alan da junction,
and as trap-shooters from as far south as
Los Angeles have signitied their inten-
tions of being present large gathering
of sportsmen is expected on the grounds.
On June the California Wing Club will
shoot at live birds at the Ingleside
grounds; the Encinal Club will smash
clay birds at Birds Point. Alameda; the
Golden Gate Club will burn powder at the
Alameda Junction grounds, and the EN-
pire Club will hold its monthly shoot at
Alamo de Point. On the same day grand
open-to-all ive-bird tournament will be
held at Winters.
The Fiy-castng Club will meet at Stow
Lake, Golden Gate Park. to- morrow fore
noon purpo>el to engage in practice cast
ing, and on Tuesday evening special

Britt suggested that the company furn-
ish new estimate or statement TO meet
the new appropriation of revenues by DR..
Rottanzi, to which Mr.. kellogg, counsel
for the company, replied:
mo; we are done. We will do no m ore !;
we will offer no new evidence. If either
of these rates are adopted l have TO say
that We will seek relief elsewhere. We
will accept neither of them"
After some discussion the following,
offered by DR.. Rottanzi, was adopted:
RESOLVED. That for the purpose of computing
water rates for the year this board will base its
action on 1913 900 shares OF The Spring Valley
Water Works outstanding, bnt in no way COM
mits itself 10 an acceptance of such capitalize
lion as epresenting actual investment or real
value.
Lackman offered resolution to the
effect that as a basis for fixing the rate
the interest on the capital stock Of
the company be computed at per cen
instead OF per cent, as heretofore
Clinton advocated the adoption, and it
passed.
The session was enlivened by Mr.. Smith
making tart attack on DR.. Clinton when
the latter urged that determina.s action
be taken on the water rate at once. He
said that new mass of figures had been
thrust at the board. which the Nom hers
could not be expected to understand; til at
they had danced attendance upon the
chairman of the Water Commit (Clin-
toni for a long time, and he could not
thrust these figures down their threats
now; he (Smith) wouldn't swallow them
He insisted on an opportunity to study
them. He asked that copies OF the new
resolution be placed in the hands OF every
member. The majority supported him In
this request and his motion TO adjourn.
DR.. Rottanzi promised to have copies OF
his resolution typewriter Tor all the mem
bers.
Britt opposed the Rottanzi resolution
and said he would vote against it. The
Water Committee had in its report pro-
posed straight reduction of 20 per cent
on the householders' rates. He believed
this was where the reduction was needed
and would do the most good.
This brought DIR. CT nton back to a
support OF the com mittee's esolution, and
it Is probable he will stand by it at the
next meeting.
The water company's report was read
by Chief Engineer Scbussler. 1t was as
follows:

IF Supervisors Of the city and County Of San
Frdnclsco-GENTLEMEN: We take The liberty of

posed and the remarks made in presenting the

ton your committee have determined that the
sum of 500, 900 is a reasonable amount to
estimate Tor the increase of revenue during
the year.
Now the average incre ase in the number of
ratepayers since 1892 has been 926 per an
MN and although we supplied TO the City in

and the doubt as to your final decision, great
hardship has resulted 10 those who can least
afford il.
During your investigations no fault was
found with the interest which we have to pay
on our bonded debt and overdrafts nor with
the taxes which are determined by the ely
and the various county governments; nor
with the running expenses, especially when it
was shown that, in spite OF largely increased
business and water supply, they are not as
high now as they were five years ago
che whole difference. therefore, between
your committee and the Spring Valley Water
Works has narrowed down to the question of
what rate of interest the stockholders of this
company shall receive on their investment.
Although we have shown by competent tes-
timony the much more hazardous character
OF our business as compared for instance,
with safe, conservative banking institution
still the glst OF the two water-rate schedules
introduced with the accompanying report and
speeches is 20 reduce the interest on our STOCK
ior the Chnton order to about per cent,
while If the so-caied Rottanzi order were car.

reduced TO about ~ per cent per annum
