THE CITY To
MANUFACTURE
ITS HYDRAN IS
Bids Found to Be Far
Too High.
CHIEF SULLIVAN'S STATEMENT
AMPLE FACILITIES FOR CASTING
AND FINISHING.
Less Than $500 Necessary to Fully
Equip the Corporation Yard for
the Undertaking-A Big
Saving.
CHIEF SULLIVAN'S STATEMENT
AMPLE FACILITIES FOR CASTING
AND FINISHING.

The Judiciary Committee OF the Board
Of Supervisors at its meeting yesterday
discovered what the members considered
another attempt on the part of certain
firms to enter into a combine for the pur-
pose of mulcting the city, and the result
is that the fat contract for furnishing
hydrants to the Fire Department has been
lost to manufacturers. and the city will
hereafter turn out its own hydrants
1t is something almost if not quite un-
precedented for the municipality to en-
gage in the foundry business. but Chief
Sullivan assured the Commissioners that
there were ample resources at the cor
poration yard for the purpose, so the eX-
pertinent will be made in the hope of saw
ing the taxpayers something like $4,000 a
year.
Bids for four and five inch hydrants
We're received from three firms, as fol-
Works. four-inch hydrants. $40 each; five
inch $50 80. NJ. Greenberg Sons. four-inch,
$50 25; five-inch.. $50 GO, Victor Etienne.
four-inch, S54: five-inch. $50. Chairman
Byington referred the bids to Chief Sulli-
van, who pronounced them entirely too
high.
~ have carefully examined into the
cost of hydrants, with other officials of
the department. said the Chief, 'and |
know just what they cost" The raw ma
terial he said. would cost S27 CO. and with
the expenditure of an amount not eX-
ceeding $500 for brass lathes, the depart
ment could turn them out at the corpora
ton yard a a cost of $31 50 each for four
inch and S39 IS for fve-inch hydrants.
do you mean, Chief that the depart
ment has facilities for casting and finish
ing these hydrants?" asked Mr.. Aigeltin-
ger
Yes: at the corporation yard-or
rather. we would have the facilities with
the addition of the brass lathes.''
And these lathes, you say, will cost
5000
THAT sum will greatly exceed the cost;
I should say that $500 or S400 will pur-
chase what we need"
The representatives of two of the bid
ding firms questioned the accuracy of the
Chiefs figures, but failing to shake his
turn out hydrants at the figures he gave
figures by saying that the price of raw
material had advanced greatly of late
and there was every indication that it
would go still higher. Moreover, the men
employed in the corporation yard were
paid Sc a day, while the private firms
paid their men more, and besides had to
figure on a small profit for themselves.
The committee asked the Chief how
many hydrants he thought would be
needed for the coming fiscal year, and
was informed that something like 225
would be necessary. The members could
not see any better way to save money
than by granting the Fire Department
the necessary brass lathes and let it man
ufacture it's own hydrants. so all the bids
were rejected on the ground that they
were too high and that course was recon-
mended to the board.

Railway Company to the Supreme Court.
The former Board Of Railroad Comnlls-
sioners brought an action against the
street car concern to compel the officers
thereof to produce its books and papers
for inspection by the board, the same as
the steamer lines and steam railroads OF
the State. The street car company took
issue with the Commissioners as to the
extent of the power and authority, max
ing the contention that a railroad and a
street car line are altogether different and
that the Commissioners had no jurisdic-
ton over the latter.
The case was heard before Superior
Judge Seawell. who upheld the position of
the street car company and decided that
the Commissioners had no jurisdiction
over this line of carriers. Mr.. Ford Is
not satisfied with this decision, hence his
appeal to the higher tribunal.

NATIONAL BANK STOCK.
Its Liability to Taxation to Be
Legally Determined.

City and County Attorney Lane has ad-
vised Tax Collector Sheehan to accept the
taxes due on the real estate Of the
Crocker-W Woolworth National Bank at this
time without requiring the payment of
nersonaI property taxes. He bases his
opinion on a recent decision by United
states District Judge de Haven. and con-
Guides with the statement that it has been
held. by both the Federal and State
courts that the personal property of a
national bank cannot be directly as
eessed for taxation by State authorities.
Tho opinion was called for in view of
Assessor Dodge's action in assessing the
shares of the five national banks in this
oitT owned by stockholders. This stock
has heretofore escaped taxation at3 alto
e nriyate property and therefore subject
to to taxation the same as any OF other be- per per
odded 70 the assessment roll
It is stated that the Crocker- WIoolworth
Wood will sue out an injunction to-day
restraining the Assessor from assessing
it's stock and thus throw the matter into
the courts.

WORDS OF Mr.. HAY
Formal Disapproval Of
Cable Concession
Clear Language in a Proclamation
Joint Resolution-Contra
Terminated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The Secre-
tary OF State today formally disap-
proved the concession made in July by
the Hawaiian Government to the Pa
cific Cable Company for an exclusive
right to lay a cable to Hawaii. 1t is
understood that this action was taken
in no spirit of hostility to the Pacific
Gable Company, but the concession
was disapproved, first, on account of
the formal protest made by the Hawaii
an Commission, and, second, because it
seemed best to leave to Congress a free
hand in the disposition of the whole
subject.
The action was announced in proc
lamation, which, after reciting the his
tory of the concession and referring to
the resolution annexing Hawaii, con-
cludes as follows:
Whereas, In view of the provisions
of said joint resolution for the deter
mination by the Congress of the
United States of all matters of legis-
lation concerning the Hawaiian Islands
and because the subject matter and
provisions of said ipdenture are deemed
to be proper subjects for the consider
alton and determination of the Con-
gress of the United States, ii is deemed
iexpedient and necessary that the Con
gress of the United States consider and
adopt such legislation, especially in
regard to grants and contractual obi
upon the United States of America as
lvested with sovereignty over said Ha'
waiian Islands. without let or hindr-
ance by reason of any action OF the
Government of the Republic Of Hawai-
lin respect to such grants and contrac
ltual obligations initiated by the sale
Government of the Republic of Hawai-
Iprior to and incomplete at the time o
the yielding up of the sovereignty o
1.-The Hawaiian Islands to the United
States.
Now, therefore, 1, John Hay, Secre
Itary of State of the United States, dt
hereby express on the part of th'
United States Department its disap
lproval of the contract stipulated in thu
Isaid indenture, to the end that TIN
lsame shall not take effect. Given undo

NEW HORSELESS TRUCK.

Automobile vehicles for carrying
freight are being built for use in New
York. Platform trucks for carrying
heavy machinery and trucks with hlgh
boxes for coal, ice or other commodities
will be first used. Compressed air will
furnish the motive power.
,Mouormen who operate these trucks
will have high seat forward, with
double wheel similar to the arrange
ment on a cable car for controlling
the power. One wheel will be Tor
steering purposes, and the other Will
omen or close valve between the an
chambers and the motor. Although
these trucks will have a carrying capa-
city of eight tons and can be run
on smooth pavements as fast as elgh'
miles an hour, it is asserted that they
can be stopped in their own length. BY
shutting off the air the wheels are
locked and the truck comes to sud
den stanstill.
