BUSINESS FOR
THE TREASURER
Board Of Supervisors Passes
the Salary Warrants at
4. a Special Meeting.
City Employees Preparing to Blow
In Their Salaries on the J.
Fourth.
sohoolteaohers Will Save Money BY
Being Compelled to Wait
Till Tuesday.

. The salary demands of the employees Of
the City and County were approved by the
Board of Supervisors at a special meeting
held yesterday tor the purpose. The en-
pEoyes wanted their money to enable
them to celebrate the glorious Fourth IN
proper shape. The board could not ap-
prove the bills at the last m Getting as they
were not due until the month had run
out. To wait until next meeting would be
too late, SO the special meeting was
called.
The salary fund has been exhausted,
but there are surpluses in other funds so
that it only became necessary to transfer
those moneys into the general fund ard
then make provision to have the drafts on
that. fund honored when presented.
This was done through the adoption of
the following resolution:
ResoFUed, That the provisions of Order No.
301S, regulating and designating the limit of
expenditures OF the fiscal year 1S96-97 as to the
several appropriations made, be and is hereby
set aside 10 allow the Auditor to audit and tn e
Treasurer 10 pay ali demargds on the treasury
properly allowed without reference to the said
appropriation.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
WHEREAS, The personal property taxes col
lected by the Assessor for the fiscal year 1897
SO cannot be aPportioned until after the third
Monday in Sepiembe of this year, when the
levy OF taxes is fixed and determined by this
board; aud whereas, the proport rtionate amount
OF taxes belonging to the City and County is re-
qulred to provide for the expenditures of this
fiscal year for which they were received; and
whereas, the proportion OF the amount of said
taxes belonging to this City and County is
largely IN excess of 1925, 600; Therefore,
ReS0tred, That the Treasurer be and Is he re-
by authorized, empowered and required to
transferfrom the amount collected by the As
SCISSOR in payment of personal properly taxes
for the year 1S97-9S the sum OF 1925, 900 10
the general fund OF said year for the payment
OF outstanding salaries and other Liabilities
The Auditor is hereby required to take
notice OF the provisions of this resolu ton.
All day yesterday Auditor Broderick
was employed in signing the warrants S and
To- morrow and Saturday the Treasurer s
office will be besieged. Speaking of this
it should be stated that because of the in
ability of the Treasnrer's office TO meet all
con1ers within the time e school teach
ers are required TO wait for their money
until Tuesday. This Arrangement may
result in their not having so much fun on
the Fourth as they otherwise would. but
the chances are in favor of their having
more. money afterwari.

RAISING THE
COLLEGE WALLS
Rapid Progress Made on
the New Build
ings.
The Pharmacy and Dental
Structures Assuming
Shape.
All Mason Work Will Be Finished by
the End of the Present
Year.

The work of erecting tho Affiliated Col
Ieges is going on at rapid stride. II.
Whittle, vice president of the Rea Build
ing Company, who is experimenting the
construction for his firm, believes that by
the end of the present year he will be IN a
position to turn the entire four buildings
over to the carpenters.
At.present the College of Pharmacy and
Dentistry has its two stories complete,
and by the end of the present week the
third will be in similar condition.
The Veterinary College. which stands
to the rear OF this building, has its first
story of pressed brick complete, and the
foundation, with about four feet of granite,
is already set on the College of Medicine.
The Law College. which stands at the ex-
crete foundation set and is ready for the
stone work.
All the buildings except the Veterinary
College will have their first stories OF
heavy undressed granite. Over this will
be handsome, yellow, pressed brick, with
terra-cotta trimmings, which will give the
entire collection of buildings handsome
appearance.
The stone is from the Folsom State
prison, where it is quarried by convict
labor, but dressed by skilled mechanics.
The pressed brick and terra Gotta comes
from Lincoln in Placer County.
In addition to Mr.. Whittle, who looks
after the interest of his company, the
State has its superintendent in the person
of Robert McKillican.
The railroad company viii as soon as
the buildings are complete run branch
switch of its electric line from Frederick
street round on Parnassus avenue, which
is the classic name bestowed on what was
Sullivan street on the official map. This
will give the students and others an op-
portunity to get TO the colleges from any
part of the City within few minutes.
