San Francisco, May 1s.-Mrs. Me-
Kinley was so much improved this
morning that the president decided to
attend the launching of the battle
ship Ohio. When it became general
ly known that the president would at
tend the launching, most of the popu-
lation of San Francisco and vicinity
seemed to be moving toward the
Union iron works. Only few were
allowed to enter the inclosure sur
rounding the ways, but thousands
clustered the bluffs overlooking the
works. On the bay shore on the
farther side from the ship, of the cove
into which the Ohio glided, stands had
been erected and these were black
with people at an early hour. On the
bay the scene was most animated.
Every pleasure craft and steamer,
sailboat and rowboat that could be
pressed into service, lowered around
the ship, and these were kept back
with difficulty by the patrol of tugs.
1t was estimated that fully $4,000 peo-
pie saw the big battleship plunge in
to the water.
The ceremonies were simple but
significant. There was the formal eX-
change of acceptances upon the part

in work or in cash. This tax If prop
erly expended would in a very short
term of years put our roads in good
condition, without which We cannot
expect to become what nature intend
ed us to be-one Of the foremost couln-
ties in our state. The large immgra-
ton in the past year has made such
demands on our road fund that we are
unable to meet only the most urgent
ones and we are besieged for more and
better roads, and in the Judgment OF
your board this is the proper course to
pursue: 1t Will place the burden OF tax
alton where it rightfully belongs.
We might say in this connection that
all Incorporated cities and towns are
exempt from this tax. This would
enable your commissioners TO assist
the weaker districts out OF the gener-
al road fund and the richer or more
favored ones would be provided for by
their special fund.
In this connection we would fur
ther say that in the Judgment OF your
board all toll ferries in your counties
should be bought and converted into
free ferries, as the most of our
ferries is already provided with free
ferries and bridges, the expense of
which is borne by all alike. The
communities where toll ferries exist
are bearing more Of the burden Of
bridge tax than their just share.
We would respectfully invite dis
cussion on this subject.

The government had almost reached a

to deny or affirm any report that might
