Sugar Exports to Bermuda.

London. March 16.-Answering a
question in the House of Commons.
Wednesday Colonial Secretary Lyt-
telton. said the increasing export of SUI
gar from the United States to Bermu-
da probably was due quite as much to
the Intimate commercial relations be-
tween the United States and bermuda
as to any bounty given by the United
State. In any case the secretary did
not propose TO ask the Legislature of
Bermuda to take any special measures
to check such importation in the inter-
est of British trade as Bermuda was
not party TO the Brussels sugar con-
vention.

Never active in politics. although a
lifelong Republican, Mr.. Grunsky was
appointed City Engineer in 1900 by the
Phelan Board of Public Works and has
since continued in that office. Owing
to the important municipal undertake
ings in contemplation during his term
he has probably accomplished great
er amount of noteworthy work than
any of his predecessors. This includes
the investigation of the San Francisco
water supply, reports on the TuOlumne
River project and the proposed munic-
ipal gas, electric lighting, telephone and
street railway systems. He is mem

The San Francisco call., 1904-02-26

The foregoing correspondence, which
passed over the wire yesterday morn
ing. indicates that the present City En-
gineer of San Francisco Carl Ewald
Grunsky, is to be the representative of
the Pacific Coast among the seven
members OF the Panama Canal Com
mission. The appointment is recognized
by all classes in the community as one
eminently fit to be made. AS soon as
it shall have been confirmed by the
Senate Mr. Grunsky win resign his Of
flee at the City Hall. leaving that posi-
tion to be filled by the Board of Public
Works.
President Roosevelt is believed to
have acted at the instance of leading
engineers on the coast, among whom
Mr. Grunsky holds high rank The
place was offered to Judge John CARRIER,
who declined it for personal reasons.
Mayor Warren Olney of Oakland was
also mentioned for it, Senator Perkins
warmly indorsing him. The selection "f
Grunsky is said to be due to the Presi-
dents opinion that the commission
should be strong in practical engineers.
Grunsky's acceptance of the post leaves
only one other Commissioner to be Sc
lected, according to yesterdays Wash
ington dispatches. These announced
that the President had received definite
acceptances from five of his appointees,
namely, Rear Admiral John G. Walker.

City Attorney Long Advises the Fire
Commissioners That They ViO-

City Attorney Long yesterday filed
an opinion with the Fire Commission
to the effect that the dismissal Of
Frank Lester from his position in the
corporation yard was invalid and that
he is entitled to compensation from
the date of such dismissal until he

After quoting the charter that no en-
ploye of the Fire Department shall be
dismissed except for cause until after
a trial before the Commissioners,
Long says in his opinion:
Lester appears to have been dismissed con-
held the legal title to his position until he
formally resigned it. Holding the legal
title 10 the position, he entitled as a
matter of right to the compensation incident
to the position. not alone until he took other
employment but until he legally lost his mem
bership in the department through his resig-
nation Under the doctrine of the case OF
Fitzsimmons VS. the City OF Brooklyn 1Ocl

to the salary in full. despite the fact that
he earned money from other sources during the

in the department. In other words his earn

member OF. the department from the time he
became a member until his membership legally
ceased. Had Mr. Lester been valfdIy dis

after trial, as required by the charter his right
