right of the single electOr NAV be and is
Just as sacred as the rights Of the many

struction of the law is likely to disfran-
chise a large number of the electors in a
case, arising through the mixed fault ofthe
officers and voters in preparing and cast
ing ballots in a precinct or county, iii

ficaticn of the construction of such Act,
heretofore given, cannot be made in the

NO SAFETY FROM FIRE
EVEN PUBLIC RECORDS ARE IN
GRAVE DANGER.
The Mayor Sees Little Hope of
New Hall Until City
and County Are
United.
Oakland Office San Francisco Can,

90S Broadway, April o.
The Board of Works decided officially
to-day that the City Hall is too small for
the clty's business and also that it is very
badly arranged for the convenience of the
public. Mayor Shows great objection is
TO the entrance, and he declared that in
no other city of even a quarter the size
of Oakland is the entrance to the City
Prison, the Board of Education, the Police
Court, the Mayors office, the taxpayers
office and other places where ladies fire.
quently have business in one spot In this
city there is generally a gang of Police
Court loafers and prison frequenters con-
gregated around the entrance of the City
Hall, and Mr.. Snow has a plan whereby
me poHce feature could be confined to
tlfteenth street in the rear, leaving the
front Iree for the city'S business.
Inc commissioners are anxious to CEN
ter all the municipal departments under
one roof, but find that this caanot be
done, and although they roundly condemn
the City Hall, 1t was the opinion of the
Mayor that no new City Hall will be
built until the consolidation of a city and
the future.
City Engineer Clement has been re-
quested to bring his office from the Mac
Donough building into the City Hall and
occupy the room now held by the Board
of Education. He has measured and finds
that there is much too little space for
the growing requirements of the Engi-
neer's office. 1t is proposed that the Board
of Education shall share the same rooms
as the City Council. An attempt will be
made to secure a reduction of the rents
for the quarters now occupied by the En-
gineer
The Commissioners called attention to
the fact that the City Hall is an old shack
and that there is not within it a single
tireproof room, so that in case of fire all
the city records would in all probability
be destroyed, for it has long been con-
ceded that the old wooden building would
quickly be totally burned if fire ever got
a good start.
One question that is appealing to the
Commissioners very forcibly is the loca-
ton of the prisoners. The City Prison is
in the basement of the City Hall. The
cells are old-fashioned and generally con-
tain about thirty people In the event Of
a fire the probability is strong that at
least half of the prisoners would be
roasted to death. There have been sew
eral small fires at the hall, which have
been quickly subdued but there is a gem
eral feeling among the City Hall crowd
that there will come a time some day.
when things will be different.

SALVATlONISTS ENTER
JOB PRINTING BUSINESS
AN ADJUNCT TO THE WAR
CRY DEPARTMENT.
Will Compete With Rival Establish
ments on Equal Terms-No
Fa-ors Asked or Given.

The Salvation Army has decided to en-
ter the job printing field. and the an
nouncement has caused shiVers of ap
prehension to begin traversing the spinal
columns of the employing printers of the
city. while the typestickers are also ex-
periencing a feeling of dread. But there
is no reason for either to be alarmed, for
the Salvation print shop is to be run for
revenue only, paying first class wages and
doing first class work. No attempt is to
be made to secure work by offering to do
1t cheaper than anyone else as tits claimed
is done by certain establishment con-
Quoted by religious organization across
the bay. The Salvationists are prepared
to enter into active competition with the
firms already in the field on equal terms
depending on the excellence of the work
turned out to bring them business. The
circular announcing the entry of the Sal
vationists into the field of job printing
which has been sent to a large number of
business men within the last few days, is
as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO. March Is. 1899.
Dear Sir: We desire to call your atten-
tion to the fact that we have opened UP
frst-class job printing establishment in
connection with our War Cry department.
With modern type, experienced worbmen
and other facilities, we feel that we can
give you entire satisfaction, both in price
and workmanship. We are certain that our
work in itself viii merit your patronage
yet desire to call your attention to the fact
that all profits accruing from such will be
used to assist in our work on this coast,
which we believe is already too well known
to require further explanation from
Trusting that we may hear from you in
answer to this, l remain, yours very sim
cerely, WILLIAM EVANS,
Lieutenant Colonel.
The printing department of the Saliva
ton Army is in charge of Charles DAN
ner. Mr.. Danner says he proposes to en-
ploy Cnly first class men and expects to
pay union wages and in some instances
more. He says:
"The job printing department will be
run on business principles in every re-
spect. 1t will not be conducted on the
lines of the social work of the army at
all. ] expect to start solicitor about
next week, and at first will employ one
jobber and one preSSman Later, if the
business warrants it, l will put on more
men. | shall not cater to the cheap class
of trade at all, as there is more money in
doing first class work. None of the print
ers will receive less than the union scale
of wages. So per day. and | expect to pay
more than that in some instances. l have
no intention or desire to fight the union
and in this connection l will say that the
majority of job printing firms in this city
are at present employing non-union men,
or at least paying less than union wages.
The union men need have no fear that
our shop will have a tendency to reduce
wages. and ! will be only too glad to COM
pare payrolls with competing firms at
any time.

ALAMEDA, April 22.-The new Board
Of City Trustees held another caucus
last night to discuss prospective
changes in the appointive offices of the
city. The Police Department came in
for the lions share of the discussion One
that the position of every police officer
be declared vacant on account of the
force violating the rules of the depart
ment and being too aggressive in the
City Marshal's fight. Joseph Forderer
who was reelected a member Of the
board on the Municipal League ticket
blocked the wholesale slaughter by call
which provides that no city officer can be
removed without being given a hearing.
