MAYOR PLANS
Low TAX RATE
Will Recommend Reduction
in Some Appropriations,
and Others He Will Veto
MANY ITEMS UNDER BAN
Action, if Sustained, Will
Slice Off Nearly Eigh-
teen Cents From City Levy
MANY ITEMS UNDER BAN

Mayor SchmitZ' has practically COM
pleted his proposed vetoes of certain
items in the municipal budget recently
passed by the Board of Supervisors and
will transmit his message on the sub
ject to the board either to-day or to-
morrow.
In making his recommendations for
the elimination of specific appropria-
tions and the reduction of others
deemed by him as ill-advised and un-
necessary, the Mayor says he has been
guided entirely by desire to reduce
the city tax rate of S1.2053 which the
expenditures provided for by the Su-
pervisors necessarily entails He is
of the opinion that at least 4 cents can
be cut from the levy for municipal ex-
penses.
The Mayor is somewhat undecided as
TO the propriety of cutting out the ap-
preparation of $62S, 1856 for the bond is
sue for improvements on the ground
undecided. Should he do so, and his
veto is sustained by four Supervisors.
it Will result in a further cut of 1888
cents in the tax rate, thus making the
levy 81 03 instead of $1.2053 decrease
of 1888 cents.
LOWEST TAX RATE.
A municipal tax rate of 81 03 would
be the lowest since the charter went
into effect. In 1901 it was $1.0762; in
1902, S1.2262 including the Special levy
for schools and hospital of 10 cents,
since declared illegal by the Supreme
Court, and in 1903, S1.076.
In order to effect a reduction in the
city tax rate of cents, exclusive of the
13 53 cents for bonds, it will be neces-
sary for the Mayor to veto appropria-
tions aggregating 5000, 000 The follow
ing are among the items upon which
the Mayor may use the pruning knife:
For expenses connected with the ac-
quirement of public utilities. reduced
from $4,000 TO $500; on the ground that
the work before the committee does not
warrant the higher outlay; stenogra
pher, $1,000: for lighting the public
streets reduced from s320,000 to $275,000
in accordance with his veto of last
year; for auxiliary water supply sys-
TEN cut from $3.50, 900 to $4,000; for ex-
penses of Finance Committee for ex-
porting municipal accounts from $10,
600 TO $500.
MAY BE VETOED.
Items that may be vetoed altogether
include $1415 for paying premiums on
bonds of the Auditor, Treasurer, Sher-
if, Tax Collector and County Clerk on
the ground that no discrimination
should be made in the matter; $60O0 Tor
Assessors additional clerks; $4,000 for
five extra deputies in the Recorders
office; $500 for telephone operators in
the City Hall; $1,000 for purchase of law
books for municipal offices on the
ground that the money has heretofore
been taken from the urgent necessity
fund; $500 for a convenience station;
$500 for new elevator, and $7400 for
special appropriation for new furniture
in offices of Recorder, Supervisors AS
SCISSOR, County Clerk and Law Library;
tinting and painting Recorders and
Assessors offices, $3.50.

STOBENER'S CHARGES.

Papers in the divorce case of John
Stobener against Della Stobener, trans
ferred from the courts of San Mateo
and Santa Clara counties successfully,
were filed in the Superior Court yes
terday. Stobener is and has been for
twelve years superintendent of the
Home of Peace Cemetery, near Col
ma, San Mateo County. He alleges that
his wife treated him cruelty; that she
has an ungovernable temper, and to
annoy him she abused and insulted
the patrons and visitors of the cem-
etery Once, he says. she threatened
to kill him and before his departure
for Germany on a vacation trip she IS
said to have knelt upon the floor and
with uplifted hands called upon God
to curse him wherever he might go.
He AYERS that she trained their four
children to treat him with contempt.
In her answer Mrs. Stobener denies
all of his charges and brings counter
charges of extreme cruelty, intemper-
ance and failure to provide. She
wants the case tried in San Francisco
because most of the witnesses on her
side reside in this county.
Divorces were granted yesterday by
Judge Kerrigan to Madeline M. Bush
from Joseph B. Bush on the ground
of desertion and by Judge Seawell to
Lucille i. Butchart from William z.

SPEED AND FLYNN
MUST REFUND FEES
Supreme Court sustains Salary Law
for Coal OIL Inspector.

Jefferson City, Mo-: The salary law
for the Coal Oil Inspector of st. Louis
is constitutional. Inc Supreme Court
Wednesday so decided in the suits Of
Attorney General Grow against r. B.
Speed and William ]. Flynn. The
salary of the Coal Oil Inspector of St.
Louis is fixed at $1,000, and the court,
in the opinion by Chief Robinson,
says that this is the amount they are
entitled to and no more. All the
Judges concurred in the opinion except
Judge Fox, who did not sit in the
cases.
The suits were instituted in the
Cole County Circuit Court. The re-
spondents filed demurrers to the in
formation on the ground that the law
was unconstitutional. Judge HAZEL
overruled the demurrer and gave
judgment for the Attorney General
for $11, 477.72 against Speed, and for
S6,919.S5 against Flynn. The respon-
dents appealed to the Supreme Court,
which court Wednesday affirmed the
judgment of the Circuit Court.
In the opinion the court says that
the act is in no wise unconstitutional,
and the judgment of the Circuit Court
is affirmed.
AS to the semi-annual salary, the
court says that so general has been
the practice of designating and fixing
the salaries of officers in the State
at a per annum allowance that 1t
might not be an unsafe rule to an
nounce that where a fixed sum and for
the full salary of an officer is found
prescribed by the statute, 1t means
a per annum allowance for said officer.
AS to the contention that the act
is special legislation, the court says
that the act is not arbitrary, nor its
provisions unreasonable, but It would
apply not only to St. Louis, but to any
other city in the State Of 800, 900 popu-
lation, should there be any.
