Going in on a Big Scale

Contractor Levering, who was award
ed the contract for furnishing the city
with decomposed granite for use on the
streets in place of common gravel, is
preparing to go into the business on a
big scale. Mr.. Levering contracted to
furnish this superior material for less
than the cost of the ordinary gravel, and
it was stated by contractors that he
could not carry out his contract But
Levering evidently knew what he was
about He has completed all Of his ar
rangements, and as soon as the contract
is signed up he will go to work Instead
of hauling with teams, Mr. Leverin4
will use a traction engine powerful
enough to haul three extra sized wag-

and night With his improved appli-
ances, Mr.. Levering says that he can
make a fair profit on his contract.

. Plain Sewing Wanted

At the woman's labor bureau there
is still a demand for more plain sewing.
There has been some sent in, but the
demand is not yet supplied.
The ladies are still vigilant in sitting
the worthy from the unworthy cases.
They visit every person who applies for
help, and if they are found not to be in
actual need, no work is given. In no in
stance do they bestow charity
Those who are measurably comfort
ably situated, or who desire to earn
little extra pin money, may as well stay
at home and save their own time, and
what is of more value, the time and
strength of the women who are giving
freely of both for the sake of assisting
the many worthy cases in need. A num-
ber of applications were received yester-
day from housekeepers for help and a
good many persons were sent to where
work is waiting to be done by the COM
petent Several good seamstresses were
set to work on Fiesta decorations.

for q Dollar a Day
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL
Do Not Affect the Private Funds Of
Private Parties
Il Only Applies to Work 0lven by Public
Officers = The Boulevard to Be
Inspected Today

The statements of the Sacramento
correspondent in yesterdays Herald -
the effect that the bill fixing the wages
upon public work at 81 per day, which
has become law, would affect the work
now being done in Elysian park, Gre
ated some alarm, because the reliet
fund was raised with the understanding
that only 81 would be paid for eight
hours work, so as to make the money
go as far as possible. the city paying
for the tools, which will eventually be-
come the property of the city.
Yesterday morning Judge Silent tele-
graphed Senator Bulla as follows:
"Is there anything in the bill fixing
wages which prevents the relief commit
tee from putting unemployed at work
on parks at 81 per day, payable out of
private funds. independent of park
commissioners? If so, a great outrage
on hungry unemployed has been COM
mitted.''
Senator Bulla replied
THE Express this afternoon will pub
lish the full text of the bill with the de-
cision of the attorney general on its
scope"
LIE Itllcl iciCuPOni w
courtesy of the Express, obtained a copy
of the bill. which was submitted 10
Judge Alexander Campbell, one of the
oldest and ablest criminal lawyers on
the Pacific coast, and his decision is
as follows:
III w. Frank, esq, President of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton: Dear Sir-In my opinion the labor
act approved by the governor yesterday
does not in any manner apply to the
work now being done at Elysian park
The law is evidently intended to apply to
labor to be done at the expense of ths
state or the municipal authorities, where
the money to be expended is raised by
virtue of the taxing power. The pro-
vision for inserting a stipulation in all
contracts to which the state or any mu-
nicipal corporation is party, to the ef-
feet that the minimum of wages shau
be So, shows that such is the intention.
Here the work is done under the d.
rection of citizens and by private sub
scriptions, and the public officers have
no connectioRwith the fund which pays
for the labor.
From the telegraphic copy or the ac.
furnished me i find that no penalty Is
attached to the violation of it, which
goes to show that it is not intended TO
refer to any other than public contracts
and employments."
