WILL NOT SIGN
THE ORDINANCE
Mayor Says He Will Not
Approve Bill Establish
ing Free Flower Markets
THINKS IT Is ILLEGAL
Under Charter Measure Will
Become Law, but Schmitz
Does Not Want to Interfere

Mayor Schmitz declared yesterday
that he will decline. to afflx his sigma
ture to the ordinance providing for the
establishment Of free public flower
! markets at the corner of Market and
Powell streets and other designated To-
cations in the downtown districts.
The Mayor expresses the opinion that
the Ordinance is illegal on its face, be-
cause the charter specifically fOrbids
the granting of any special privileges.
His Honor therefore believes that his
| signature will not legalize the ordn-
ance.
Under the charter the Mayor is al
lowed ten days to approve or disap-
prove of any resolution or ordinance.
| Should he fail to sign a bill within the
prescribed time it becomes a law with
out his approval The ten days will ex-
pre- to-day, and unless the Mayor
changes his mind in the meantime he
VIII return the ordinance TO the Board
of Supervisors without his signature
1t is my opinion" said the Mayor
that the ordinance granting privileges
TO itinerant flower venders is clearly
Illegal. l am of the firm opinion that
the courts will so hold in view of the
Superior Courts decision in the matter
OF bootblack stands being maintained
on the sidewalks
Il therefore do not desire to approve
of an ordinance which I regard as il
legal under the strict terms of the char
ter and the decision of the court re-
garding encroachments on the side
walks. | see no particular reason why
L should veto the ordinance because
consider it illegal. / do not care to
again call on friendly Supervisors to
sustain my veto, so / think that the
wisest course is to withhold my sigma
ture from the ordinance. Under the
charter the ordinance thus becomes a
law-that is. if what 1 regard as an il
legal ordinance can be called a law. 1t
Will be matter for court adjudication
at all events. and / do not desire to in
terfere in the matter, seeing that the
sentiment Of the public appears to be
in favor of the free flower markets. L
believe that the Board of Public Works
has entire Jurisdiction over the prohibf-
ton OF sidewalk privileges, and the
matter should be left to that body"

ROCK CRUSHING
NOT IN FAVOR
Street Committee Again Rec
Ommends the Extension of
the ProhibitOry Limits
OPPOSE GRADE CHANGES
Executors of SutrO Estate
Object to Alleged Injury
to Its Property Interests
OPPOSE GRADE CHANGES

The Supervisors Street Committee
! yesterday referred to the board the two
/ ordinances extending the limits within
which it is prohibited to carry on rock
quarrying or rock crushing with the
recommendation that the bills pass.
The ordinances are identical with the
two vetoed by the Mayor, the vetoes
having been sustained by the board.
r.. w. Gillogley, representing the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Thirtieth and
Castro streets who are opposed to the
establishment of a rock quarry by
Gray Bros. urged the committee to re-
port in favor of the passage of the
/ ordinances.
George Gray asked that considera-
ticn of the bills be postponed until the
I board could ascertain if Gray Bros.
would live up 70 their agreement TO
conduct operations so they would not
be a nuisance.
The ordinance regulating the bust
ness of rock crushing by requiring a
permit to be first obtained from the
Board of Supervisors was laid over for
one week.
Gillogley stated that Gray Bros. were
grading on Thirtieth street without a
permit. GRAY said his firm was grad
ing its own property and in front
Of it, but that work had been stopped
upon order of a street inspector.
The petition Of the LabCrers Protec-
tive Union that provision be made for
the cleaning of streets by the city and
that all employees engaged in such work
be paid the minimum wages of 81 90 per
day was referred to the Board of
Works for investigation and report.
The petition of the Santa Fe Rail
way system for an extension of sixty
days from April 80 within which to
complete a bridge over Nineteenth
street was reported favorably upon.
The petition of the Excelsior Home
stead Association TO repave the road
way of Mission street to the county
line was referred to the Board of Works
for examination and report.
E. w. McKinstry and Mrs. Emma L.
Merritt, executors of the Sutro estate
opposed the proposed change of grades
on / and streets west of Fifth avenue
on the ground that it would damage
the property of the estate in the Vicin-
ity. The committee deferred action to
give the parties interested a chance
to compromise the matter. The protest
ants hold that the change should be
an s per cent grade instead of 9 per
cent. as ordered by the Board of Works.
The report of the City Engineer that
it will cost 5000 to improve Nineteenth
avenue from Trocadero road to Ocean
avenue was referred to the Finance
Committee to be considered when the
next budget is taken up.

Hotel Arcadia.

Monday next, the first OF Feb
ruary, the new Hotel Arcadia at
Hermosillo, will be opened to re.
ceive guests. THE OASIS editor took
look over the new hostelry, and
found everything rapidly assuming
shape and form under the energetic
direction OF Captain l.. W. Mix,
the praticed attention of manager
E. S. Richardson, and the delft
touches of Mrs. Richardson. Here
tofore extended description has
been given the Arcadia in the
columns and further description is
not necessary here. Suffice it to
say that the hotel is elegantly fur
nished throughout, with all the
modern Improvements, making it
one of the most elegant and COM
Portable hotels in the west.
The management has assembled
a fine corps of help, under whose
administration nothing will be left
und0ne Tor the comfort and con-
venience of guests. The chief clerk
is T. E. Edwards, from Los Ange-
les, gentleman with long expert
ence in the hotel business; Mr..
Walter Steubenberg, from Ell Paso

very best auspices, meeting a want
long felt in Sonora. and good
wishes for its success are heard
upon all sides.

A Fuel S aver.

A machine that is attracting a
great deal of attention all over the
United States as well as Mexico, is
the Weber Suction Gas Producer
because of the great saving in fuel
by the use OF this machine. There
have been recently installed in this
vicinity, or be more definite in the
city of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico,
two of the these gas producing
plants, one for Mar5urg Il Luders
in connection with a ten H. 7.
Weber gasoline engine, which engine
previously hadbeen costing for
gasoline $500 perday; since the
installation of this Gas Producer
the fuel bill has varied from -
cts. to 50 cts, per day The other
Gas Producer in Hermosilo was
of 80 H. P. which was sold to NJ.
James IL Co., and is working on a
propor;ionately low cost for fuel.
This Gas Producer is so made
that any fuel which contains carbon
can be used but the most satisfac-
tory fuel in this locality is char
coal, which can be obtained in any
locality and can be made by any
one. The mesquite bush make the
best kind of charcoal, as has been
found by actual experience
These machines are in extensive
use drought the entire Republic
of Mexico. as well as the United
States and from the circulars sent
out by the Weber Gas IL Gasoline
Engine Co., we would Judge that
the fuel problem has been solved.
