HOW THE COST OF LIVING
IS BEING REDUCED

expenditure of resident OF Mills hotel
in New York.
For this sum each of the four gets
breakfast of milk, mush and bread and
butter; lunch of bread and butter, fruit.
baked potatoes or macaroni; dinner OF
one meat dish, steak or ragout, potatoes
and one other vegetable. As rule, milk
is the only liquid consumed; but some
times cocoa is introduced by way OF
variety. Ali the meals are cooked In the
fat. Each man makes his own bed, as at
West Point. The nom paying mem Der does
the sweeping and cleans the windows.
At a superficial glance the plan seems to
be reproduction of the phalansteries OF
Fourier and Brisbane, which were tried in
this country at Brook Farm and Oneida |;
but it differs from these in the essential
particular that the association merely
covers the lodging and feeding Of the as
sociates. and does not concern itself with
their employments. Brook Farm broke
down because its me m bers undertook work
10 which they had not been trained and
which they were unfit to accomplish. A
novelist like Hawthorne or a journ allst
like Dana was naturally a failure when he
and his co-operators have nothing to do
with the employ ments in which each may
engage outside of the joint lodging. Their
efforts are confined to demonstrating how
young men of limited incomes can live
decently and comfortably and save money
by the use OF a common purse.
Cheap restaurants aim at the same re
suit, though by different road. In this
city at the present time We have nothing
which approaches DuvaPs cheap restau-
rants in Paris. but there several, such as
the restaurant in the California Market,
the Quaker Dairy, the Creamerie on Mar
ket street and others, where the calcula.
tIon is that a consumer can be fed for less
than so cents day. For this he gets a
dinner of soun or salad, meat or fish,
potatoes or other vegetables, bread and
butter and cup of coffee, 25 cents; a
breakfast of mush and milk, bread and
butter, 10 cents; and a lunch of fruit and
bread and butter, or coffee and rolls, 10
cents. There are places where for 15
cents you can get an ample meal of coffee,
fruit and bread and butter, or a meal OF
meat and potatoes with cup of black

The opening of the Mills Hotel in New
Yolk, which took place on October 27.
illustrates the attention which is being
paid 10 the lowering of the cost of life
among the common people. The Mills
Hotel Will accommodate 1900 guests, all of
whom must be men, being in this respect
a contrast to the A. T. Stewart lodging
house, which was intended exclusively for
women, and a mod tcation of the Pea
body lodging houses in London, which
are designed for families.
These 1900 guests will paw a uniform
rate OF 20 cents a night for their lodging:
their meals viii cost from 10 cents to so
cents. The breakfast will be the unit, the
calculation being that for 10 cents whole
some and sufficient meal can be supplied,
which may be duplicated at lunch. 1t is
assumed that a nutritious and ample din
ner can be furnished for 25 cents Thus a
man OF limited means can 1--we at the Mills
Hotel for 65 cents a day, exclusive of
washing; in other words. for S19 so a
month he can be comfortably lodged and
adequately fed in a building construct ed
with special attention to salubrlty and
comfort. This brings the contentments
OF lie "Ilhln the range OF clerk rece1v-
ing salary of $500 year.
This is matter which deserves atten-
ton and study from San Franciscans. be-
cause the peculiar circumstances under
which this city has grown up deprived its
people OF the apprt nticeship which deni-
zens OF other cities have gone through in
the struggle Of life. To the founders of
San Francisco money came so easily and
In such proiuse amounts that they were
never tempted to study economy and fru-
gality. Wages have always been higher
here than anywhere el e, food has been
cheap, a mild climate has minimiZed the
necessary outlay for clothing. Ii these
advantages were TO last forever the San
Francisco workman might continue to
dismiss from his mind thoughts of the
cost of living; but it is becoming omi.
nously obvious that our peculiar advan-
tages are likely to prove transitory. Food
will probably remain as cheap as it is,
and the workman will not need 10 spend
for clothing more than half as much as
his brother IN the East. But the levelin g
process which is going on throughout the
world must have a tendency te equalize

in the esce1dent here from the last OF
April to the fourth week in November.
During these long seven months the
most singular state of things has existed
in tho city and county OF San Francisco.
Tagless and homeless dogs have swarmed
n our streets besieged our markets, our
butcheI-shops and our back gates, and
publicly settled by force of arms, or rather
teeth, the question of possession In re-
gard to food bestowed upon them by ten
der hearted human bipeds or stolen from
poorly protected bases of supplies. Va
grant ours have comfortably pursued and
demolished the ubiquitous and annoy
ing flea III the sunlit rcCesses OF the door
ways of cur most pretentious buildings.
They have mapped unmolested wherever
and whenever they would; they have
mbled about at their own sweet will !;
they have obtruded themselves into our
most select and fashionable neighbor-
hoods, and made the day unpleasing with
public exhibition of their woes. and night
miserable with their loud but unavailing 2
remon strances against the DEGREES OF fate
as exemplifed in their unhappy condi-
ton.
When it is realiZ that twenty dogs a
day is the average capture OF the pound
men when in successful and glorious oper-
alton, it is easy TO see that we sho hould soon
have rivaled ConstantnopIe, and other
cities OF the Orient, in the number and
diversity of our canine population, had
not the deadlock between our municipal
rulers and the officials of the society come
to a conclusion.
Our city treasury has been yawning
vainly for the dollars which used to insure
the safety of dogs whose owners valued
them enough 10 pay out ha.d money for
their protection. No one stands in awe of
a law that mas no penalty attached and
when there was no danger OF impound-
ment few cared to buy tags just for the
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-28

principle of the thing.
The erstwhiie noisy and overpopulated
Animals Home" has been one of the
most sweetly peaceful retreats to be found
in our suburbs. For although every now
anG then desperate citizens, under cover
of night, have brought four-footed nuis-
ances and thrown them over the fence,
tied them to anything that came handy
in the vicinity, or made canine May
baskets of them by attaching them to the
door knobs, their mum Der has been so
paratively few that their occasional
presence has not appreciably dlstur bed
;he solemn silence which has brooded
over the place since Mr.. Osborn first sur
prised and disappointed his colleagues by
showing a mercenary spirit, and "hocked
by himself in consequence.
Now, however, all this is changed. Our
conscientious Supervisors. after giving
the matter seven months of serious con-
sideratlon, have at last spoEen some
magic words which have had the same
effect on the home" that the Princes
coming had on the occupants OF the
sleeping Beauty's" palace. The stag
mated current of life has begun to flow
limpidly once again, indeed almost fever
ishlv, and Jack" the huge brindled cat,
who has for more than half year held
undisputed sway over the solitudes OF
field, and barns and sheds, is forced to
take refuge in high places from the con-
fusing rush of hurrying feet and realize
that his quiet reign is at an end.
Mr.. Holbrook is now the Poundman,
and he wears his new honors modestly,
though there is a certain CLINT OF self
satisfaction in his kindly eyes which
seems quite warranted under the circum-
stances. The position brings him no ad-
ditionaI salary, since the S75 month,
which was the bone of contention between
his predecessor and his whilom friends, is
to be turned by him over to the society

the clang of the doorbell interfered with
and dominated everything. 1t is very
disconcerting bell that one at the nome

touched by the gentlest hand, out "heh
it is assaulted and battered by STURDY
"ward heller in search of 'soft snap
the sound which it gives iorth Is one thaV
might strike terror to the stoutest heart'
Again and again its loud and lnslstent
summons peaIed out upon the quiet ar
and each time the affable gentleman VINO
was assisting Jack in performing the nos
pi,abIe duty of showing me about the
premises excused nimsef and lett me
with his four-footed friend, while be par
leyed with the stranger at the gate. Mr..
Holbrook was away for the time oelhg-l
fancy he had gone into temporary retire
ment for the purpose OF rest ana recuper-
ation-but each and every one OF the
callers wished to see him, and him only,
and every one of them was animated by
q fierce desire to get ION the wagon.
"It has been like this ever since the ap-
pointment was made, said the affapie
gentleman wearily. after he had made the
trip to the door a dozen times or so. "Ihe
idea seems to have gone abroad tnat we
are going to employ 600 men instead OF
six, and | do believe if we were we could
get the outfit without stirring outside this
place"
"The men must be very hard up who
would seek such EN- pIoyment, L said.
But my companion laughed az he
answered: Look at the advertisements
in the want columns and see ii it is lack
IF work else vhere that drives them here"
Then he supplement ted this with piece
of inform alton which must be specially
pleasing to those who have not forgotten
the horrors which marked the merciless
career of Bucklcy's protege, in days not so
very long gone by.
The kind CT men who like the job for
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-28

wages, and the time is approaching when
the value of labor will not vary much
with longitude.
No serious attempt has yet been made
by our mill onaires TO work out a compre-
hensive plan for the lowering OF the cost
of life to the working class. In his ex-
uberant moments the late Senator Fair
used to tell me that he contemp plated
building an immense caravansary for
workmen on his large lot on the corner OF
California and Powell; but the idea never
took tangible shape in his mind.
The college settlement founded in
South San Francisco by James Reynolds
after the model of Miss Jane Adams
settlement in Chicago. is a step in the
right direction, though it does not go
very far. 1t is now partly or altogether un
der the manage ment of Miss Mary Very, a
lady OF broad mind, thoroughly conver-
SAINT with the problems of sociology and
!mbued with noble in nstincts. Her institu-
ton, like e Samaritan Home which has
been established by Rev. Mr.. Kip, is do
ing good. 1t concerns itself with the
minds as well as the bodies of working
people, and is an oasis in desert
The fundamental problem in the case is
what is the minimum sum on which life
can be sustained with due regard to health
and proper enjoyment? To the solution
of that problem Gail Nichols, with other
intelligent and energetic young men, is
devoting enthusiastic Industry and is
testing the various theories by personal
experiment.
Four of them are cooperating. They

as follows: Milk 81, butter 81, bread S.,
meat tbeef or mutton) $5, bacon 81, fruit
and vegetables 81, groceries 81. They
allow S. for gas fuel, which serves for
warming and cooking. No allowance is
made for laundry work, on which each
may spend what he chooses, or may if he
likes, boil his own shirt. Footing all these
items together, the product is $51. or $12 rs
per man. One of the four however. con-
tributes his share in labor, so that the
expense of the joint esta blish hment falls on
the other three. and amounts TO $17 per
head. This is 81 so less than the estima ated
