SOLUTION
ADOPTED AT
GATHERING

ID ESOLVED, That we
IN tender the thanks of
the Federation of
Mission Improvement Clubs
to The Call for the able
manner in which it has
shown up the glaring de-
. fects of the proposed new
sewer system; and we hope
that every citizen interested
in seeing that this city does
not undertake the construc-
ton of a sewer system
which would make the con-
ditions worse than they are
at present, will read the ar
ticle on the proposed sewer
system contained in The
Call of September IS, 1903.

to an outlet at North Point under San
some. Market. Second. Howard. Eighth
and Harrison streets, for $7.25O.OOO.
ITO prevent this sewage tank from leak
ing in the depression between Eighteenth
and Eleventh streets our engineers have
provided a series of dams across the nat
uraI drainage channels of the district, one
at Eighteenth street, one at Fff-
teenth street, one at Fourteenth
street and one at Eleventh street. These
dams will rise to a height of more than
four feet above the city base. At Four
teenth street the top Of the dam will be
about two feet below the surface Of the
streets and about six feet nine inches
above the bottom of the present sewer.
At extreme high tide we will have bank
of sewage six feet nine inches deep from
Eighteenth street to the outlet.
"In the depressed district from Eight
eenth street to Eleventh street. and espe-
cially at Fourteenth street. the sewage
will rise in the sewers twice a day, fore
ing the gas through the side sewers and
house connections and making II impossi-
BILE to repair or make a connection in the
side sewers except at extreme low tide
This is the district that suffers from
hoeds caused by heavy showers that visit
us every winter from five to ten times.
One can imagine but cannot realize what
this district would resemble should one
of these showers occur at the time Of
high tide after such sewer system had
been inaugurated. Fearful lest this dis
trict naturally tributary to this sewage
tank. should not furnish enough to fill it,
our engineers have thoughtfully and at
great expense diverted the sewage of
Ocean View and part of the territory
tributary to the Army street sewer, and
also sewage from the southern slopes of
the Potrero. The Ocean View sewage is
to be diverted from its natural channel
by a long and expensive tunnel under Col
lege Hill; the Potrero portion, after flow
ing down the southern slope of Potrero
HILL is to be pumped. 1t all arrives at
Eighteenth and Division streets, and will
undoubtedly keep the tanks full at high
tide
TO MAKE CONTEST.
Mr.. Center then passed to another con-
sideration. He took the view that an at
tempt to construct such a system as is
proposed would result in proceedings in
court Il do not know what action the
residents and property owners in the
downtown districts will take in regard to
this sewer proposition" he said. THE
property owners of the Mission district
will contest IN the courts the proposition
to construct a sewer on the lines pro-
posed by the engineers, and we do not
believe the courts will condemn a district
to be flooded by the stopping OF its nat
ural drainage channels or to decree that
the property from Eighteenth to Eleventh
street shall have a sewage bath every
twenty-four hours at the dictation of a
few impracticable men posing as civil en-
gineers. All members OF the improvements

ITlCIS IN the MISSION
and Potrero last evening
adopted a resolution, after
discussion, approving of
the action of The Call in
giving to the public the fact
that the proposed sewer
system for the city and
county of San Francisco,
upon which is based an is
sue of $7,25o,ooo of inter
est-bearing bonds, is radi-
cally defective. Delegates
from half a score of clubs
were present and voted af-

the official basis for the sewer bond issue
of 7,25O 900, to be voted upon this week.
1--WE tender the thanks of the Fedora
ton of Mission Improvement Clubs to
The Call so ran the text of the resolu-
ton, for the able manner in which The
Call has shown up the glaring defects Of
the proposed new sewer system" Allu-
sion was made to 1.-The construction of
sewer system which would make the con-
ditions worse than they are at present"
There was but one dissenting voice when
the resolution was submitted to the dele
gates from all the Mission Improvement
Clubs for vote.
The Federation of Mission Improvement
Clubs is made up of delegates represent
ing every section Of the great Mission dis
trict and the Potrero. The Improvement
clubs affiliated in the federation are the
University Mound and Bay View. the
Holly Park and Mission Street, the Fair
mount and Glen Park. the Sunnyside Pro-
gressive, the West Of Castro Street, the
Ocean View Property Owners, the Mar
ket-street and Eureka Valley, the Nuevo
Potrero, the Lake View and Ingleside,
the Mission Road, the Eureka Valley and
Park Lane, the South San Francisco and
the Precita Valley clubs. Each of these
clubs is entitled to three delegates in the
federation. Last evening every section
was well represented. The practically
unanimous decision to indorse the course
Of The Call therefore meant that the
great Mission district and its environs.
through its chosen representatives Of
every section, condemned emphatically
the scheme of the engineers to take the
sewage Of great part of the city down
from the high city levels to zero and
bring upon the city great expense for a
system that is denounced as Impractical
and inadequate.
INTRODUCES RESOLUTION.
The resolution concerning the sewer
system was introduced by George L. Cen
ter. He made the statement that he had
taken the article in The Call relative to
the proposed system and had carefully
verified it by going to the official reports
of the city authorities in reference to the
scheme for the sewer construction, If the
bond election for sewers carries. ''The
new system is proposed by several engi-
neers," said Mr.. Center. The proposition
to issue bonds for it's construction Is put
before the citizens without any effort be-
ing made to enlighten them in regard to
its merits" Mr.. Center spoke calmly, but
was evidently very much in earnest.
1--WE are asked to swallow this sewer
proposition he continued, 'just as we
swallowed the proposition of new City
Hall. Then we got picture of a build
ing and an estimate Of 1,500 900 as the
cost of its construction. Now we get a
tank Of sewage under the city, extending

height from ten to IL feet. A tioor OF
boards is put in and the bottom tier
of Stating fastened to the supporting
posts five or six inches from the floor

three feet outside the Stating. The

they will pull out through the space
between the boards and Stating.
When no more can be reached by the
cattle, the space around the bottom
can be filled by the attendant OF the

A publication of the department of
agriculture says: prof. Thomas
Shaw expresses his belief that sugar
beet pulp can be fed more advan-
tageously to cattle and sheep that are
being fattened than to dairy cows.
The New York Cornell experiment sta
ton, however, found that this material
gave good results with milk cows, the
drv matter (solids) in it being about
equal in value to that in corn silage.
German experiments with beet pulp
for cows have also given good results,
the flow of milk being maintained in
a satisfactory manner. Some Danish
experiments have shown that, as COM
pared with mangels, the butter pro-
duced on sugar beet pulp was about
equal in quality and kept fully as well.
Where large quantities of the pulp were
fed the cream required to be churned
few minutes longer"

CHANGE IN MIXERS.
1t Should BE Avoided, If Possible, n
1t Affects the Cows Temper and
Milk Yield,

There is great difference in the eff
feet that a change of mixers will have
upon different cows. Some cows will
submit perfectly to milking by almost
every one who approaches them, but
no COW will milk equally well with all
persons. Some cows will dislike, or
fear, or battle nervously with three
out of five persons who try to milk
them. They will often refuse to yield
their milk to any other than the milk
er to whom they are accustomed.
Owners of dairies cannot well over
look this preference of the cows for
certain mixers. 1t is a preference
that is based on nerves, and neither
the cow nor the mixer can control it.
The COW in perfect nerve accord with
the attendant will show her feelings
by her actions. She will lay her head
against the one whom she likes. When
one whom she does not like approaches
her, she shows her dislike by stand
ing perfectly still, or by turning away
her head, or by moving away.
The Hollanders and the Jersey isl
anders, those masters of dairying, un-
derstand this characteristic of their
cows, and they make much of their
knowledge. They accustom their mag
nificent cows to personal touch, to the
human presence, to the voice, to pet
ting and coddling and caressing. The
results are seen in the perfect animals
they produce, the highest types OF
quality and capacity known in the
dairy world.
The dairyman should discover the
likes and dislikes of his cows as early
in their careers as possible. The milk
and butter fat they will produce will
depend largely upon the mixers he
sends to draw their milk. The point
is that the COW is nerve machine
She can do her best work only wher
her nerves are in their normal condi
ton. The mixer, whose presence OF
touch or voice throws her into agita
ton, or fear, or anger, will never be
able to induce her to produce milk il
the largest quantity or of the best
quality. Therefore the high-class COW
must have a mixer whom she likes, OF
she will fall short of her possibilities
