INTEREST REEVES IN
WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
Local Committee Issues Call for a
Meeting to Be Held in SorosiS
Hall on Thursday.

Revival of interest in the George
Washington memorial, for which
money was collected in California two
years ago. has resulted in the issuance
of a call by the local committee, Mrs.
Sarah D. Hamlin president, for meet
ing to be held in Sorosis Hall at 1920
California street next Thursday after
noon at $50 o'clock.
The committee Will receive and hear
DR.. Charles w. Needham, president of
Columbian University, who will speak
on the newly developed plans for the
George Washington University to de-
termine the final disposition of the
building fund raised in California for
the George Washington Memorial In
stitution and to decide the future
course and action of the California
branch of the association.
The revival of interest in the me-
rrCrial is the direct result of the act
passed by the last Congress authoriz-
ing the Columbian University to be-
come the George Washington Univer-
sity, which change of name becomes
an ACCOMPLISHED fact on September 1.
It is now purposed to revive the pro-
ject of the George Washington me-
mortal and raise the money for the
main central building OF the group of
buildings to be erected on the new site
which has been secured for the univer-
sity in Washington, near the Wash

WATER FRONT
HAS DEFENDER
Charles H. Spear Compares
Local Wharves With Those
of the Eastern Ports

During his recent trip TO the East
Charles H. Spear of Berkeley, presi-
dent of the State Board of HarbOr
Commissioners, made a special study
of the wharves of the ports of the At
lantic seaboard and the manner in
which freight is handled on the docks.
In comparing the conditions that pre-
vail in the East with those at this
port Mr.. Spear said:
Our wharves are large and commodious.
and as convenient Ito shipping as those of the
big Eastern ports found, TOO. on comparing
rentals and taxes-that is, the raising of rev.
used directly Tor haTbor improv ements-
that have done much here as there. As
to the handling OF freight on the wharves,
found that in the Eastern ports the work is
done more quickly. for the reason that light
trucks and single teams are commonly us d,
instead OF the big four-horse trucks generally
in use here, and which take up room and
move more slowly than lighter outfits. Freight
in the East is hurried of the wharves to ware
houses.

Pow DER WORKS
ANSWERS SUIT.
Corporation Contends That
1t Has Never Been Owner.
of a Taxable Franchise

The first answer to appear IN the
suits of the State of California against
corporations for the collection Of taxes
on franchises was filed yesterday in the
Superior Court by the California Pow
der Works. This .cempany's franchise
was assessed at s250, 900 and its entire
property at $55s.45o- On its failure to
pay $4O6. 80 taxes on the franchise the
company's realty in San Francisco was
advertised for sale by the Tax Col
lector. An injunction against the sale
was obtained and it has never been dis
solved. -
The powder works makes a peculiar
pleading in its contention that it does
not and never did own a franchise. It
says that on the blank form submitted
by the Assessor the line for franchises
for corporations was filed out as tax
able for $1,000. but that the company
did not thereby concede its liability to
assessment for a franchise. The item
was inserted in the form for the pur-
pose. it is stated, OF avoiding litigation
with the city and county OF San Fran
cisco concerning whatever sum might
be believed to be due for such taxes and
for the purpose OF showing the COM
pany's willingness to pay on a reason
able valuation Of a franchise. The COM
pany says that il had been paying taxes
on the $1,000 basis for several years.
AS to the land which was advertised
for sale for the delinquent franchise
tax, the answer Of the powder works
AYERS that the company transferred the
property in November. 1900. to the Full
ton Engineering Company, and that tbs
latter corporation obtained the injunc-
ton against the sale, which has never
been dissolved.
