THE DECISION DELAYED
PUBLIC PRINTING BIDS ARE
THROWN OUT.
New Proposals for the City's Work to
Be Sought From the Reputable
Newspapers of San
Francisco.
PUBLIC PRINTING BIDS ARE
THROWN OUT.

The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors met Yesterday and considered
an application made by the Peoples Mu-
tual Telephone Company asking for one
years extension of the terms under which
their franchise was granted. The attor-
ney for the company, who was present,
stated that one provision of the agree
ment had not been fulfilled, viz, that the
Peoples Mutual was to expend 100000
during the first twelve months following
the requirement of It's franchise. He ex-
planned that the franchise had been con-
tested in the courts, and for that reason
the company had delayed making invest
ments of money in plant, etc. Now that
there was no longer a legal question as
to the rights of the Mutual to operate in
the city the company stood ready and
ed when the franchise was granted, pro-
vfded that an additional twelve months
were granted for that purpose.
Herman Laguna, who has in the past
persistently fought the Mutual Company,
was present, and at once made objections.
He declared that the telephone people had
not lived up to the terms of their agree
ment with the city and that they were
not entitled to a further extension of
time. Laguna's peculiar interest in thwart-
Ing the plans of the new company have
for some time subjected him to the sus-
plClOil VI peiu6 III lie SiiplOy VI ilNal
terests, and the question was put
to him after he had finished his speech
yesterday as to whom he represented.
Myself" was the only answer that he
deigned to give.
The committee, after hearing all of the
pleas for and against the extension of
time, decided to take the matter under
consideration for one week.
The Printing Committee of the Super
visors also held a meeting yesterday
morning, and decided to reject all three
of the bids which had been made for the
public printing for the next two years.
These bids came from the Evening Re-
port, Evening Post and Daily Journal of
Commerce. Each of the papers offered to
do the city's printing for nothing and the
Journal of Commerce, in addition, made
a bonus offer of $500. Supervisor Britt.
in discussing the matter, said: I'VE don't
quite understand these bids. There Is a
remarkable amount of pulling and haul
ing going on to secure the printing. I
never saw more leg-pulling over any mat
ter since I have been Supervisor. There
must be some graft In the contract, or
these people would not be fighting so
hard The committee will look into the
matter thoroughly before any final action
is taken"
The action of the Printing Committee in
rejecting the three bids was supplemented
by an order directing the clerk to readver-
tise for proposals for the public printing
in accordance with the provisions of the
plank in the Non-Partisan platform In re-
gard to the award of the printing.

S1t1on South OF the EarR
The section south of Golden Gate Park
has at last been provided with eleven
electric lamps, distributed at such places
as are most thickly inhabited This is
boon the residents are very grateful for
from the fact that heretofore it was nee
essary to have lantern at night to guide
persons on their way. In addition to this
there are other permanent improvements
continually going on throughout the en-
tire section. The contemplated improve
ments on I street have received a tempo

against Improvements on that street
