RECLAlMING OF MANILA.
Governor Taft's Measures to Prevent
Further Epidemfcs.

Further Epidemics.
Of Manila, according to official reports
to the war department at Washington,
have agreed to a comprehensive plan
for retaining the city Of Manila from
the unsanitary conditions which prevail
there, says the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The experience during the past
few months in controlling the epidemic
Of cholera has satisfied the American
authorities that only the most rigorous
measures will suffice to protect Manila
from pestilence whenever occasion
arises. 1t has been decided that build
ings which are insanitary must come
down and be removed, the low places
in the city are to be filed in. suitable
sewerage is to be insisted on, walls are
to be built to hold back tide water and
new buildings will be permitted only in
compliance with strict regulations as
to plumbing and construction which
will insure healthful conditions
1t is estimated that when the build
ings in the slums of the city are torn
down over 10000 people will have to
be moved out into temporary camps.
Governor Taft announces that he will
do this and have the people carefully
looked after in their temporary quar-
ters
Captain McGregor, the city engineer,
has taken part in the conferences and
gives it as his opinion that it will be
necessary to fill in over the whole site
of the city in order to secure the grades
streets and houses and accomplish such
sanitary conditions, The cost will be
large. 1t is estimated that the reclama-
ton of the San Nicolas beach will cost
at least $5OO.COO

of the general manager and the de

made on this pattern will eventually
replace the present dining car service

dining room, lighted by electricity and

The remainder is divided with an es.

WILL BUY A SITE.

Council Monday night adopted a
resolution authorizing the sale of
notes given to the city by r. L. and
Jennie Dobson, at the time they pur-
chased the site of the old City Hall.
When the deal was concluded, the
purchasers paid $1,000 ceash, and
gave notes for the balance of the pur-
chase price, $12,500. 1t was stipulat-
ed in the resolution that the notes
shall not be sold at less than their par
value, including the accrued interest.
This action on the part of Council
indicates that the desire of some of the
officials to buy a site at this time is
still active. The vote on the resolu-
ton was as follows: Ayes-Amund-
son, Gauther, Jacobs, Martin, Merz,
Piske, Ormes, Seidell, Shook, Warner,
Nays-Hill, Manderbach, Sawyer and
Wilhelm. Absent--Rice and Koons.
AS soon as there is money enough
in the treasury to buy site 1t is be-

lieved the purchase will be made, in
spite Of the fact that the plaintiff has
given notice of appeal from the de-
cision of Judge Kohler, dissolving the
injunction restraining the officials
from acting in this matter. Solicitor
Ngate' said the action of the court
in the case is not final order, mas
much as it does not dismiss the petit
tion Of the plaintiff, and also by rea-
son Of the fact that the requests made
in the petition were not to restrain the
officials from buying property, if the
necessary money is In the treasury.
He stated that the petition requested
that the city be restrained from dis
counting the notes, not from selling
them at their par value, and he also
said that in case the notes are sold,
the Clerk will be able to certify that
the necessary amount of money is in
the treasury. Under these circum-
stances, he believes, the officials will
be able to go ahead and buy site.
