The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-07

steIy available, hence the raid viii be
hard to resist. Speaker Coombs may
rally the reform forces, but should the
Assem- blymen representing counties in
which public institutions are established,
together with mem bers from counties ask
ing for the establishment OF State institu-
tions, decide to pool their issues the raid
would surely become formidable. Ala
media, Santa Clara, San Joaquin, Napa,
Sacramento, Marin, Mendocino, Butte,
San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Amador
and Sonoma have public institutions re-
spectiveIy, and San Diego has entered the
list, asking for branch of the State Nor
nal School.
A scheme has been planned on behalf of
the State University to obtain a half
million from the Legislature. The exist
ing levy of l cent on the 500 may be in
creased to , cents. This increase would
permit the university TO draw for main
1enance $25o,000 per annum, with the
amount increasing as the assessment roll
expands. Some members of the Legisla
ture may perceive the danger of passing
law compelling the State Board of Equali
cation TO levy fixed sum per annum for
the support Of any State institution.
