HUNGRY CREDITORS.
San Francisco Schoo1marms Want
Their Back Pay.


Teachers, merchants and others of
San Francisco who hold unsatisfied
claims against that city are leaving
no stone unturned to find a way by
which funds may be raised to pay them
for services performed and supplies ad-
vanced to the city
Under the consolidation Act the city
was permitted to raise funds only for
the fiscal year, and no provision was
made by which deficiencies created in
one year might be paid out of the levy
made the next. Consequently mer-
chant claims for supplies furnished
nave piled up, and many teachers in
the public schools likewise hold claims
against the city because the funds We're
exhausted before their names were
reached on the pay roll.
Auditor Wells of San Francisco is
fully as anxious as the merchants that
some method may be employed to pay
their claims. A few days ago General
John H. Dickinson, representing the
Auditor, H. T. CIeswell representing
the school teachers, and Frank H. Pow
ers, representing the merchant credi-
tors, came to this city to confer with
Controller Colgan and Deputy Con-
roller Douglas with view to striking
on some scheme whereby the claims, or
a portion of them, might be paid
A few days ago the collateral inher-
itance tax from the Stanford estate,
amounting to $254, 63S, was turned into
the State Treasury and credited to the
State school fund for distribution
among the counties
The tax was due the State in 1893, but
owing to litigation it was impossible
TO pay 1t in at that time, and since
then the original tax has drawn inter-
est at the rate of per cent. per an
mum.
San Francisco's share of this tax will
amount to about $4,000, and the at
torneys for the teachers contend that
the money should be applied to paying
on debts created in the year the tax
Tell due-lS93- If this idea can be
carried out it is expected that many
back claims of teachers for salaries un-
paid, will be satisfied
Controller Colgan on Monday wrote
to Auditor Wells of San Francisco, in
qulring as to which year he applied
funds received from sales of estates
for delinquent taxes. He yesterday re-
celved reply to the effect that such
collections We're applied to the funds
for the year the collection was made.
Controller Colgan wrote back sug-
costing to Auditor Wells that he apply
such collections to paying off claims
created during the year the taxes
should have been paid, and if that ad-
vice IS followed many of the claims
OF merchant creditors will be satisfied
In San Francisco each year sales for
delinquent taxes average about 800
oOO and Of this sum about ST., 900 goes
to the city.

San Luis Obispo, Cal, March 13-The

Saturday by the suspension Of the Com
mercial bank of this place. Liabilities OF
the county bank amount to S439, 900 and
che assets are placed at $65O,0OO. The
Commercial bank paid out $4,000 in
less than ten minutes after opening yes
terday. and these certain indications of
Il run on the concern caused it to close it's
doors.
Paso Robes, Cal, March 13.-The
bank of Paso Robes did not open its
doors Saturday. The failure of the coun-
ty bank at San Luis Obispo and inability
to realize on assets fast enough to meet
depositors' demands are the causes as
signed for the suspension, which, it is
thought, will be temporary. The cashier
asserts that the deposits, which amount
TO about $4,000 will be paid in full.
