he got credit for an extensive assort-
ment Of chairs. tables and other dining

The furniture has not been paid for.
however, nor has the rent reached the
Sutro estate. Accordingly yesterday
afternoon a posse Of Deputy Sheriffs
seized the resort and it was not long
before the entire outfit OF furniture and
utensils were piled in the street.
Ohmeyers troubles did not end with
the Sherir's interference. Secretary

OF q story that a number OF once val
liable dogs were being starved TO death
and that others had already died from
the same cause. He notified Ohmeyer
one day last week that unless the ami
mails were Immediately cared for a

board to pass a resolution removing
Dewey boulevard from the official city
map. The land had been conveyed to
the city under certain conditions for
the construction Of the boulevard, but
the city did not comply with the con-
ditions and the land was forfeited to
the estate. Now the Assessor declines
TO assess the property to the Sutro es-
tate because the boulevard is still de-
lineated on the map as a public high
way. The petition was referred to the
judiciary Committee.
Bills were finally passed authorizing
the payment of S99 AIS to the Hobbs
estate, paid on an erroneous assess
ment on non-taxable bonds; ordering
street and sidewalk work on Pacific
avenue between Webster and Fillmore
streets; Twenty street between
Guerrero and Dolores; Green street be-

The Supervisors Finance Committee
that in future it will not pay any bills
contracted by health officials for trans
portation unless the officials devote all
of their time to the business Of the
city. Action was taken on the request
of the Health Board that bills for
buggy hire at the rate of $50 month
be paid for the health officer and one
of the city physicians. Under this rul-
ing certain employees in the Health De-
partment will have to pay for their own

band, was subjected to a rigid cross
questioning by the Finance Committee
regarding his bill of $3.50 FOR sheet mu-
sic furnished to the band. 1t was re-
ported that the music could be pur-
chased for $210. Payot expressed the
opinion that the city should not be
compelled to pay for the music on the

WIND SIGHTED FRIDAY

Professor McAdie Of Local Weather
Bureau Shows That His Judgment
Was Not Mistaken.

The west wind that Professor McAdie
sighted from the top Of the Mills build
ing last Friday night arrived yesterday
afternoon and afforded the promised re-
lief to sweltering San Francisco. The
weather clerk asserts that the advent
Of the breeze marks the end Of the hot
spell. He IS cOnsiderate enough, also,
TO allow the pleasant weather TO con-
tinue.
The temperature rose to SO degrees in
the shade yesterday at 2 o'clock, but
fell rapidly thereafter. Before 8 O'Clock
the mercury had dropped 10 20 degrees.
McAdie says the agricultural dis
tricts are in need Of rain. That surely
is intricate science for ordinary mOrtals
that have lived in California during the
last two months and think there has
been nearly enough wet weather TO
make the summit of Mount Tamalpais
