supply. A committee consisting of

BASIS OF CONTENTION.

Section of the constitution as
amended on November 4, 1902, upon
which Roncovieri bases his contention
follows:
The charter ratified, may be amended
at intervals Of not less than two years by
proposals therefor, submitted by the legisla-
tive authority Of the city to the qualified cleo
tors thereof at general or special election,
ton OF such proposals for twenty days in
daily newspaper Of general circulation in such
tors voting thereon and approved by the Leg
islature as herein provided for the approval
OF the charter.
Roncovieri asserts that the two
years limitation is specifically con-
tanned in the clause May be amend
ed at intervals of not less than two
years by proposals therefor" which
he argues refers to the submission of
the amendments to the electors. On
the other hand the Supervisors con-
tend that the limitation simply applies
to the ratification of amendments by
the Legislature, which meets every
two years, and not to their submis-
sion. Roncovieri says that the latter
construction would be correct If there
was a comma between the words
years" and by" as the original text
of the section read before the con-
stitution was amended.
SUPERVISORS EXPLAIN.
The Supervisors explain that the
regular election on November was
selected to submit amendments be-
cause no provision has been made to
hold any special elections for the pur-
pose. Roncovieri in answer to this
contention refers to a succeeding sec
ton of the constitution, which leaves
the Supervisors no alternative when
the legal requirements relative to the
submission of charter amendments are
complied with. The section follows:
Whenever Is per cent Of the qualified
voters of the city shall petition the Iegisla-
tive authority thereof to submit any proposed
amendment or amendments to said charter
to the qualified voters thereof for approval
the legislative authority must submit the same.
Roncovieri claims that the Super
visors must" submit the amendments
in the case noted and for that reason
he is busy preparing his amendment
by petition to render the School De-
partment independent of the jurisdic-
ton of the Supervisors, so far as the
city's share of the school appropria-
ton is concerned.

No Municipal Telephone system.

Supervisor Braunhart takes excep-
ton to the proposal of the Police and
Fire Commissioners to acquire a mum
icipal telephone system. Braunhart
declares the matter lies entirely with
the Supervisors, who have no such in
tention in mind. He says the city has
a thirty years agreement with the
telephone company for a free tele-
phone system in the City Hall, which
is worth $4,000 yearly to the city.
The company has provided a new
chief operator for the system, good
service is now being given and there
is no intention on the part of the Su-
pervisors to make a change.

John Coleman, porter in a saloon at
Mason and O'Farrell street, was ac-
cused of battery, the complaining wit
ness being Japanese, who. after pro-
claiming himself "a glood Clistion boy"
swore that without having received
any provocation whatever the defend
ant violently elected him from the bar
room and kicked and cuffed him and
threw him with great force upon the
sidewalk. Offsetting the complaint
however, was the testimony of several
Caucasian witnesses, who saw the Jap,
intoxicated and turbulent, enter the
saloon and annoy the porter until the
latter turned and threw him out Case
dismissed by Judge Cabaniss.
