Mayor Schmitz has vetoed the bills
for the Spring Valley Water Company
for supplying water TO the public

month Of January. The bill for sup
plying the public buildings amounts 10
SI166 65 and the hydrant bill Is

paid by the Board Of supervisors by
special resolution despite the fact that
neither of the bills was based on le-
Cal water rate and neither Of them
was itemized.
Mayor Schmitz in VetOing the Spring

COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
DISCUSS EDUCATION
David Starr Jordan Reads Paper on
Subject of Distinction in
Methods

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 19.-The
university presidents and professors
who are attending the annual conven-
ton of the Association of American
Universities to-day discussed "The
Actual and Proper Lines Of Distinction
Between College and University
Work" Papers by President Arthur
T. Hadley OF Yale and President Jor-
dan of Leland Stanford University
were read.
President Jordan said there were
reasons why there should be no alb
rupt change from the American col
lege to the university, but on the other
hand many reasons why the educa-
tional system should be one of grad
ual transition. The university should
radiate from the college, extending in
every direction work already begun.
IT should not be a separate school with
different sympathies and methods SUI
perimposed upon the college.

The veto of the Mayor places the
Spring Valley in a peculiar predica-
ment If it is forced to make a fiat
rate 10 the city it cannot base il on
the rate fixed for the present fiscal
year. for such q move would be prac-
rical admission that the rate now being
contested in the Supreme Court is a
just one, and would be the means Of
throwing out Of the court the case Of
the Spring Valley against the people
Of san Francisco, in which an injunc-
tiOn was issued against the Supervisors

FOUNDATION FOR MANURE HEAP.
it's appointed mission marked out for it,
even before it is received.
It is all very well to describe ideal
conditions, but it seems to me that more
good is often done in describing condi-
tions that are less than ideal, but still
serviceable, practical and easily within
the reach of all.
With this end in view, I present a
sectional view of homemade founda-
ton for a manure heap in the open
air, which will keep the manure in a
condition very nearly at its best. This
foundation is made just far enough
away from the stable to escape any
drip from the caves. It is made square
or round, as may be preferred, and has
a rough stone wall about the outer
edge extending down below the frost
line. Within this, over the surface of
the ground, are placed loose stones,
lowest in the center, as shown. A coat
Of cement, two inches thick, is placed
ever them, the surface thus being made
saucer-shaped.
To this foundation is wheeled the
manure from the cow and horse stalls,
the latter being spread evenly over the
