Works Board Says Streets
Cannot Be Cleaned With
Funds Allowed for Purpose
PROTESTS TO BE FILED
School Directors Will OPP
pose Final Passage of the
Next Municipal Budget

Several municipal departments are
preparing to p file strong protests
against the appropriations Of the next
municipal budget when the ordinance
thereon comes up for final passage be-
fore the Board OF Supervisors next
Monday. Principal among these will
be the protest of the Board Of Public
Works against the item of $4,000 set
aside for the cleaning of the public
streets. which is declared to be made
Quate for the purpose.
Commissioner SchmitZ was busy yes
terday preparing data on the subject
for presentation to the Supervisors. he
will call attention to the fact that
report was filed by the City Engineer
showing that IL will cost $4,000 to
equip a municipal street cleaning plant
and S240, 900 TO operate it for one year
No provision has been made for the
purchase of necessary plant, although
the Supervisors want the Board or
Works 10 have the cleaning done by
city employees. Again the appropria-
tion is the same as that under whlch
the existing contract for street sweep
ing was let and the laborers are being
paid but 80 a day. whereas the mini
mum wages of city laborers is S2 90
q day.
The Board of Education is also pre-
pairing a vigorous protest against the
reckoning of an alleged surplus Of S10S,-
900 in the total of 81, ,361, 900 for schools.
The board contends that already $75,-
600 of the surplus has been contracted
for and believes that as the money
came from the State the city should
not deprive the schools Of the benefit.

The board referred to the Finance
Committee the communication from
Brand & Brand, law firm, that the
taxes illegally collected under the spe-
cial levy for schools and hospital must
be returned to the various taxpayers
though they made no protest at the
time of payment The communication
states the Supreme Court has decided

Hacks. carriages and coupes, owned
and controlled by the Carriage and
Stable Owners Association, did not
run last night as predicted, for the
simple reason that the Police Commits
sioners did not issue the permits to
the drivers whom the association pre-
sented as competent men.
There was as long a session as the
commission usually holds, but the
question of granting permits to the
drivers of vehicles was one of the last
things to come up. There were twenty
eight applications received, but only
eight were granted. and In each in
stance they were for men who owned
their own conveyances.
J. j. Fagan, of the owners associa-
ton, pleaded with the commissioners
for the granting of the applications
and NJ. w. Coffey, representing the
Hackmen's Union, opposed the re-
quest.
The commission took the ground that
sufficient evidence had not been sub
mitted to show that the men for whom
the owners applied had the experience
or qualifications necessary to warrant
the issuance of the permits. The mat
ter will be taken up at a meeting on
Friday and at that time the two sides
will be able to present their claims.
With the object of distinguishing
union hackmen from non-union men
employed in similar business, President
NJ W. Coffey of the Hackmen's Union
has issued orders to all the men be-
longing to the union to wear on the
lapels of their coats badges of red,
white and blue.
The Boot and Shoe Workers who
were out on a strike and also those
who were locked out returned to the
respective shops yesterday morning.
This act is in accordance with a de-
cision reached by the majority of the
union hands, who cast their votes at
the mass meeting on last Friday night
when the question was: Should the
union hands go to work pending arbi-
tration or not?" The vote being in IA
vor of returning indorsed the views
and advice of Vice President Lovely
as against that of one of the local
leaders, who favored the strike in the
hope Of bringing the members of the
association to comply with the terms
of the union, which would be to keep
them idle for an indefinite period.
Henry Albrecht, a young nom union
stableman employed at Doyle's sta
BILE at 800 Sixth street, was assaulted
Yesterday afternoon at the corner of
Folsom and Sixth streets by three

lips and loosening his front teeth.
He was in the act of boarding a car
, when the attack was made The ruff
fans escaped by running down Harriet
Street.
Charles Fahrenkrog, a union stable
man, and a non-union watchman came

ment on the subject of unions and nom

Proposed Ordinance Fixes
Fares to Be Charged for
Passengers on Auto Cars
BLOCKS TO BE IMPROVED
Board of Works Recommends
Bituminizing of Vallejo,
Jessie and Hayes Streets

An ordinance was introduced yester
day in the Board of Supervisors by
Braunhart which is designed to amend
the existing ordinance regulating the
use of vehicles on the public streets
by fixing the rate to be charged for
the use of automobiles. The new sec
ton added to the ordinance which linn
its the amount to be charged for pas
senger fares follows:
For a hackney carriage drawn or
propelled by steam, electricity or gas
oline, for one or two passengers, not
exceeding one mile, 81: for three or
four passengers, not exceeding one
mile,. 81 80; for each additional mile for
each passenger, twenty-five cents, pro-
vided no additional charge shall be
made for stoppages for a period not to
exceed ten minutes in time.
For hackney carriage, except rail-
road cars. drawn or propelled by steam,
electricity, gasoline or motive power
other than horses, for four or a less
number of passengers, when engaged
by the hour to be computed for time
occupied in going or returning, includ-
ing detention. 81 90 for the first hour
and 81 for each subsequent hour. No
extra charge to any passenger shall be
made for the ordinary amount of bag
gage.
Braunhart explained that the charges
for automobile hire were exorbitant, in
many cases being as high as Sc and
more an hour. He said that the rates
for carriage hire were regulated by the
! ordinance and similar regulations
should be put in force for automobiles.
| The ordinance was referred to the LII
cehse Committee.
The West of Castro Street Improve
ment Club petitioned the board not to
Z Ioo
! ing in the Supervisors the power of
hearing appeals from the action Of the
Police Commission in refusing liquor

dinance is vicious and reactionary in
its character

CATTLE ABOUT STEADY
The Market Was Dull EARLY,
But Good Cattle Sold Well
at Firm Prices
NOT ENOUGH GOOD OFFERED
NOT ENOUGH GOOD OFFERED
Export Steers Are Selling Around $4.75
to $3.50 and Were Quite Freely
Bought-+iogs Were Weak at to 10
Cents Lowe-Packers Were About
the Only Buyers.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Cattle - Dull
though generally steady. Too many OF
common to poor grades were re-
ceived. Demand is light but there
were not enough good cattle to supply
it. Export steers are selling around
| 4.75@49O and were quite freely
bought in early trading, and were
the one active Stock prices being fully
steady, while some fortunate sellers
thought they were 10 higher than yes
terday.
When the week opened packers did
not want the cheap grades on the later
market, reports from reliable sources
being to the effect that several thou
sand head of these grades were carried
over in their pens from last week s
market, and naturally the local con-
Germs had small use for these grades.
Statesmen were forced to seek an out
let thru the feeder buyers late in the
day, and were then compelled to con-
cede a good slice from prices obtained
early. The closing market for all
grades ruled considerably worse than
early, and while few choice steers
went steady, sales at unchanged prices
We're not a criterion of the general
trade.
Hogs.
Hogs were weak and about 5 q 10
lower Demand is confined almost ex-
clusively to packers. Shipping orders
were very meagre and there was no
pronounced activity on the part Of
spectators.
The average weight continues low
owing, no doubt, to the large proper
ton of pigs and underweights.
The range of prices is now very mar
quality and to the fact that buyers are
bearing down on the tops.
Hogs are moving marketward in in
creasing numbers according to packers
predictions of a month or SO ago but
the volume is still behind that of No
vember, 1903.
A year ago today $685. hogs reach
ed Chicago. Conditions then and now
are of course different but the present
supply is calculated to cause some
surprise in view of the depleted condi-
ton of corn cribs.
1t is significant that hogs now being
marketed come largely from a territory
not strictly hog raising. Minnesota
and Wisconsin have been cutting loose.
The corn belt hog has yet to come.
But for recent sublime weather
packers prospects for securing cheap
droves would have been less brilliant.
At the same time this favorable me-
neurological condition has enabled the
grower to make cheaper pork.
Sheep.
Sheep were weak and about 10
lower. There was some show Of
strength in sheep early, but dullness
struck the trade and prices declined.
