UP PAVEMENTS
Resolution of Supervisors Di-
reefs Works Board to Pro-
Vide for Permanent Conduits
STOREKEEPER TO REMAIN
Connor Gives Notice That Water
Rate Inquiry Will Begin I'M
lucdiately After January 8

A resolution was introduced at YES
terday's meeting of the Board of Su-
pervisors by Brandenstein directing the
Board Of Public Works to make pro-
vision hereafter (prior to the paving
or repaving of any street, for perma-
nent conduits hereunder for the ac-
commodatiCn of any pipes or wires that
may be placed under the surface of the
street.
Brandenstein explained that the reso-
luton was designed to prevent the con-
tinual tearing UP of streets by light
ing and other corporations.
The ordinance authorizing the Elec-
tion Commission to appoint a store
keeper mechanic was passed to print.
The ordinance does not create a new
place, but simply legalizes the appoint
ment of the incumbent of the position.
Braunhart objected to the ordinance,
saying that there are already several
temporary appointees whose appoint
ments were never legalized by ordi-
nance, and a precedent would be estab-
lished in legalizing the same to the ex-
clusion of civil service eligibles.
conveyance to the city from Charles
Patton to lands required for the open
ing of East Park street was passed to
print Similar action was taken with
the ordinance accepting a deed from
E. N. Fritz to land for the opening of
De Long avenue.
Action on the ordinance ordering
street work on Noe street. between
Elizabeth and Twenty fourth, was
postponed for one week to hear pro-
testing property owners.
F. H. Colburn appeared before the
Finance Committee and urged that an
AUTHORIZATION be allowed for a munic-
ipal exhibit at the St Louis exposition.
The committee said there were no funds
available for the purpose, but an ap-
preparation might be made in the next
budget. The committee then deferred
action for three weeks, when the new
Board of Supervisors will have been
installed in office.
stephen Potter was appointed stenog-
rapher to take down and transcribe
testimony in the forthcoming annual
investigation for the fixing of water
rates. Potter is to receive $S a day
and Is cents a folio for transcribing.
Supervisor Connor gave notice that he
will move to begin the investigation

Supervisors is inducted into Office on

TO DETERMINE
HORSE VALUES
Supervisors Order Investigation
of Alleged High Prices Paid
by the Fire Commissioners
LICENSES TO BE RETURNED
Amounts Aggregating S4270
for Nickel-in-the-Slot Ma
chimes Go Back to Owners

Action on the ordinance authorizing
an expenditure of $4,000 in payment to
John j. Doyle for ten horses and $2475
for nine horses purchased by the Fire
Department was postponed for one
week by the Board of Supervisors yes
terday for further investigation. The
Finance Committee previous to the
quiry into the alleged high prices Of
the horses. James McNab testified that
the prices were reasonable for the kind
of horses required by the Fire Depart
ment, and on that showing the commit
tee recommended that the bills be
passed.
Braunhart opposed the passing of the
bills and demanded full investigation
to determine if the Fire Commission
had used due diligence in an endeavor
to secure horses at the lowest price OBJ
tainable, and whether horse dealers
generally had been communicated with
when the commission desired to pur-
chase horses.
The Fire Commission will be cited to
appear and explain the transaction in
volving the purchase of the horses in
all it's details.
On recommendation of the joint Com
mittee on Finance, License and Police
an ordinance was passed to print au-
thorizing the refunding to various
claimants of licenses on nickel-in-the
slot machines aggregating $427O. The
licenses were paid during the begin
ming of the quarter and the machines
were ordered out by the Chief of Police,
so the license tax was not earned by
the city.
City Attorney Lane filed an opinion
stating that he does not find any char
ter provision requiring the Park Com
mission to purchase materials or en-
gage labor by means of contract alone.
The charter permits by implication the
purchase of supplies in amount less
than $500 in the open market, Lane
says, and he further advises that no
contract can be made without the ap-
proval of four members of the Park
Commission.
City Attorney Lane was requested
not to appeal certain judgments OBJ
tanned by the various insane hospitals
against the city for the care Of criminal
insane, he having informed the board
that an appeal was inadvisable.
In passing to print several ordin-
ances granting time extensions to street
contractors Brandenstein stated that
the extensions would be Illegal If the
bondsraen for the contractors did not
agree thereto. Inquiry to that effect
will he made before final passage Of the
bills.

in a collision between a car and the

ness of the company's employees. The
accident occurred on Twenty-fourth
street. near Potrero avenue. Holmes
received injuries that rendered him un-
fit for duty for nearly a year and ulti-
mately caused his death. He left, be-

Board Exacts Stipulations From
Southern Pacific Before 1t
Grants Bay Shore Privilege
GRpNsKY FIXES DAMAGES
Company Agrees to Pay Claims
and Deed Land to Widen
Fourth and Kentucky Streets

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
postponed action for one week on the
ordinance granting a franchise for
steam road to the Southern Pacific
Company along the bay shore. This
course was pursued by the hoard be-
cause the corporation had failed to file
certain agreements to pay damages for
change of grades and TO deed land
necessary for the widening of Ken
lucky and Fourth streets, although it's
representatives promised to produce
the agreements in twenty-four hours.
Jere T. Burke attorney for the COM
pany, stated that the City Engineer
had recommended that the company
file an obligation to pay such damages
as the latter had designated.
The awards of the damages esti-
mated by the City Engineer will be
made by the company" said Burke,
land a stipulation to that effect will
be filed with this board within twenty
four hours. We will follow the City
Engineers recommendations in that
respect"
The company should designate the
widening the roadways of Kentucky
ised to do" said Curtis.
THAT will be done also in the next
twenty-four hours" said Burke.
1T seems to me-" said Mayor
Schmitz, that these stipulations should
be filed before the franchise is finally
passed." and the Mayors suggestion
prevailed.
City Engineer Grunsky in his report
fixes the amount of damages to ad-
jaeent property at approximately $75,-
000 but this amount will be increased
to S1O0, 900, with the added expense of
putting the streets already improved
in a like condition of improvement with
reference to grade changes, which ex-
pense will be borne by the company.
The report further says that the ap-
praisement of damages is accepted as
final by some property owners. 1t in
cludes damages to land and improve
ments and allowances for increased
cost of grading streets not now i'm
proved.
The Kearny Street and North Beach
Improvement Club petitioned the board
to take steps to build the addition to
the Hall of Justice under the recent
bond issue.
Commissioner of Public Works Man
son submitted his plans for an amphi-
theater on the children's playground

REGISTRAR THOMAS WALSH
MAKES HIS ANNUAL REPORT
Head of Election Department Shows
That San Francisco Leads All Other
Cities for Economy

Ahub san IchASASCO 1LCstUS All OlIIcT
Cities for Economy.
Registrar Thomas ]. Walsh has made
his report to the Election Commission
ers Of expenses incurred for elections
during the year 1903. In part it is as
follows:
The primary election August H. 1903. cost
approximately $950O 81, SO 2-3c per vote
cast. Special elections for improvements Sep
road October cost together $40. 121 6S or
80 BLOC per vote cast. Municipal election
November 3. $61, $40 2s, or 81 O3 per vote
cast, a total for the four elections of $780,
1872 So This includes registration and every
item Of expense connected with the department
up to December I, 1903.
A study of the figures given above when
compared with the cost Of the department un-
der the consolidation act will demonstrate the
improvement which the charter has wrought
through the operation Of civil service regula-
tion in the employment Of clerks and the
purchase of supplies of every kind by competi-
tive bidding. The first election held under the
Australian ballot law in 1892 cost this city
$299, ,98S is, or an estimated cost per capfta
effect there has been a surplus at the end Of
each fiscal year, which was seldom known un-
der the consolidation act.
A comparison Of the expense of elections in
the larger cities of the United States places
San Francisco in the lead for economical ad-
niiEistration under like conditions. Boston is
the next lowest. and the per capita cost of
election of 1902 was 81 40.
The introduction of the voting machine will
still further reduce the expense of elections
and / trust the city will have them in opera
tion at the next general election.
