WORSE AND MORE OF 1T.
Water Tanks Emptied on the Street
Again Last Night,

The condition of j street, from Tenth
to Twelfth, last night was simply
shameful. AT half~paS { a. sprinkler
C?) had flooded the street-it could not
be wetter AT 5 o'clock the street
sweeping machine went over 1t and
mixed the earthly matter with the water
until the the entire surface was evenly
coated with a thin mud more slippery
than ice and nastier than can be de-
Scribed.
Yet K street last night was swept
without flooding it, and fairly good
work was done. The puzzle is, why
was one street rendered impossible and
the other not? Why did not the Street
superintendent man make a full job
of it?
A Record Union" reporter followed
the sweeper on j street for a half hour,
and took pains to notice the result of
its passage. 1t did not remove the dirt,
but simply worked it into thin, repul-
sive paste, and made the street danger
GUS to drive upon.
The comments of the people who wit
messed the work" would not sound

erty in this State or any other State

instance, the counties of Marin aad
Santa Barbara, and according to their
assessments there are 10000 horses and
Of hay to feed them with. He recited
other instances of the same kind of
anomalies.
The speaker went into figures, show
ing how the rich escaped taxation,
while the poor had the whole burden
to sustain.
Judge James S. Reynolds of San
Francisco was next introduced. He
said the principal business of us all was
to make living for ourselves and our
families, and beyond that to obtain
few luXuries
The single tax, he assured his audi
ence, was coming, and coming in Cali
fornia, though the people in Sacrament
to did not seem to realize the fact, but
1t was coming, and coming soon, ard
his hearers had better get on board the
cars so they could hear the band play.
Those who had made a study of the
question had come to the conclusion
that each man had the same right of
access to the soil as any other man,
and it only required intelligence to ap
ply this doctrine practically to every
day life, to adjust the conditions equit-
ably.
The value of land increases now in
value as the population increases on
and around it.
He then related circumstances about
the last State Constitutional Conven-
ton, and stated that not one of the
members of that convention knew any
thing about taxation, and were entirely
ignorant of the science of political
economy. The scales fell off his eyes,
however, after reading Henry Georges
work on Progress and Poverty at
the suggestion of Hon. Ed. Marshall,
then Attorney-General of California.
The people were now beginning to
take an interest in the question of tax
alton, and there was hope of a change.
There was a good chance for having
a constitutional amendment placed be-
fore the people at the next election, as
the matter was now before the Com
mittees on Constitutional Amendments
of both houses, with a good hope of
securing a faVorabl report

NotW lthstanuEg t..t CRITICAL re.
frigeration has 50 In J., taken the
place Of ice. it is Ct,cn desirable, even
In small plants, to make some ice for
table and other purposes In hotels
and restaurants this is particularly true,
and nothing but the poor results that
have been obtained i'll the past has pre-
vented this from being done more exten.
sively.
The old method was to pat common
filtered hydrant water into cans and
freeze it into white. unattractive ice,
useful only for cooling purposes, and
hardly suitable for the table. Distillipg
and purifying apparatus is found neces-
sary to make acceptable ice by this proc
ess, and the manifold duties of the op.
Grating engineer usually prevent the
giving of proper care ard attention to
the various purifying devices, with the
result that the quality Of the product is
quite inferior.
There is now developed, however, a
prac :ical method of making ice in large
or small quantities on the "plate sys-
tenn, freezing outwardiy from the re-
frigerating coils, excluding impurities
into the residual water, circulating this
water by means of circulptirg pnmp

from water Of almost any reasonably
good quality. The ice is then harvested
by q steam cutter, which pushes its
square nose down in the tank and cuts
off slab Of ice whenever required A
tank of this character, added to il re-
frigerating plant, is a most useful and
profitable adjunct, especially consider
ing that the high quality of the product
is chiefly function Of the method
rather than the skill of operation. w.
