OPPOSES EXTRA
ARCHITECT FEES
Reed Thinks Employe
Of City Should Do
the Work.
Bill Creating Two Positions
in Registrars Office
Defeated.

The bill authorizing the payment to T.
J. Welsh of S657 for drawing plans for
the Howard-street engine-house was
passed by the Board of Supervisors yes
terdsy after Reed had vigorously opposed
it's passage. Reed contended that the
Board Of Works employs a city architect
who should have done the work. and that
the additional expense should not be sad
died on the city.
City Architect Mooser was called upon
for an explanation. He said that his du-
ties comprised only the supervision of
building operations and the inspection Of
permits. When he took the position he
did not agree to draw plans for public
buildings. To do would require the
establishment of another bureau in the
Board of Works, said Mooser. Reed then
withdrew his objection.
A new resolution was adopted fixing the
value Of property owned by the city at
SIS, 81, 200 Ths first resolution fixed the
valuation at S27, 600 900, which was a de-
crease of more than S1,000,0eO from the
figures of last year. Mayor Phelan di-
rected Expert Williams TO investigate,
and the latter reported that the error was
due TO the fact that the Auditor had re-
turned the figures for 1899 instead OF for
1900. The new figures show that the value
Of city property has increased by S24l ,OOO.
The ordinance authorizing the Election
Commissioners to employ deputy regis
trar and chief clerk, alta salary of $3.50
per month each, was defeated. Fourteen
votes were required and II received only
thirteen, Reed and Mccarthy voting no.
Mccarthy quoted the charter again to
show that the limit of salaries for en-
ployes in the registration Office is 500 per
month. Brandenstein stated that the City
Attorney had advised the board that it
had the power TO create the positions at
the advanced salarfes. Braunhart changed
his vote to aye and gave notice of recon-
sideration, so that Clerks H. Zemansky
and D. Gordon. who are slated for the
promotions. may be yet able to secure one
more friendly Supervisor.
The bill providing for the full accept
ance Of Howard street from Eighteenth
to Nineteenth. Mission from Twentieth to
Twenty-second, Washington from San
some to Battery and Valencia from Her
mann to Fifteenth was finally passed.
The petition of NJ. H. de Young for per-
mission TO erect a seven-story building of
q height of 109 feet on the south side of
Geary street. between Stockton and
Powell, was referred TO the Building Com
mittee.
The petition Of James H. O'Brien for
permission to grade and macadanize
Chestnut and Francisco streets. between
Octavia and Laguna, and OctaVia and La
gUna streets between Francisco and
Chestnut. went to the Street Committee.
The bill empowering the Civil Service
Commission to employ stenogra pher for
three months was finally passed.
An offer Of $l2G 600 was made to the own
ers Of the Bay View farm. which it is
proposed to use as a site for the pest
house.

Canteloupes that looked as if they were
Chapped. He started back to take the
next Car, when he ran plump into an
Old Friend from Memphis. They stood
and shook Hands for a while, and said,
well, WE'LL" and wanted to know how
Tricks were, etc, and then the Ac-
quaintance from the South said it was
the Custom in his part of the Country
when two Gentlemen met after a long
Separation to pour a small Libation
on the Altar of Friendship.

by saw a Vision of a Lady with Au-
burn Hair. She was watching the Cars
unload at the Corner. There was what
you might term Baleful Clean in her
Eye, and she was beginning to tap the
Floor with one Tootsie. Those who I'M
derstand the Matrimonial Code know
that when a Lady with Zaza Tresses
begins to telegraph with one Foot,
then is the Time to climb a Tree.
Hubby did not mention the Vision to
his Friend from Memphis. HE did not
believe in unloading his Troubles on
an innocent Third Party or admitting
to any one that he could be Scared by
a Weak Woman weighing only 100.
