CREEK
IS VALUABLE
Herman Schussler Explains
Concerning the Richmond
and PreSidiO Watersheds

In oratoricaI tones and we'll rounded
periods, whose sharp edges had been
worn away by the constant dripping
of Spring Valley water, Herman
Schussler, chief engineer for the COM
pany, described yesterday, before Com
missioner Heacock, that portion of the
watershed within the City and County
of San Francisco.
Forty years ago, he said, Lobos
Creek. which wandeTs past the Marine
Hospital, furnished daily supply OF
1000 600 gallons, which was a much
larger proportion for San Francisco
than it is now, when compared with
the total quantity of water consumed
at the present time. Since the old san
Francisco water works, the predeces-
sor of the Spring Valley Company, d.
verted the water from the creek Dy
conduit, various changes of great I'M
portance have taken place in the wa
tershed. He said:
If sewerage systems in this city were CON
structed as they ought TO be-waJer usn.-
absolutely impervious to water-the water
shed would be of much more lmportahce' 5 UJ
cause in a country subject 70 lnOse Cll-
matte variations any constant ana reuaoIe
system of water like LObus Creek mas oeen,
always is and always will be an important
factor Owing to the fact that through gross
carelessness-partly on the part OF the city
a1,+bo~itjes nartIv Of individual housebuilders
with regard 10 their house sewers apd con
nections-there has been a shgnt lnnItratIon
Of Objectionable matter in Looos creek, Dut
not in sufficient quantity TO make tne water
objectionable for domestic use But the pref
udice of people generally is against water
that has the slightest suspicion OF an lhnoW
of objectionable matter.
When we found that there was sucn
nretudice existing we ceased 70 use the water,
hut retained 1t as very valuable adJunct LOT
the rse OF parks plazas and Tor hre ex-
tine,tsbinq purposes The United States Gov
ernr1ent owns one-half Of this supply which
is about OOO 600 gallons per diem or nearly
400 600 600 gallons per annum, Which could be
utilized and no doubt will be, by the com
pany. ...s fo- .ho r,ioh,,,s
district near Lake street will be benefited by
tba nresence of LObos Creek. If the city
Ieens on establishing more parks in the West
ern Addition it might pay eventually to lay
on indspendent pipe line from Lobos Creek
Sor The purpose Of irrigating those parks and
plazas-
Mr.. Schussler gave the following as
the capacity of the four reservoirs used
for supplying this city and county:
PiIarcitos, 1000, 200, 900 gallons per an
nun; Crystal Springs, 20.235, 900 900;
SAN Andreas, 5,566. 900 900, and Lake
Merced, 1853, 900, 900.
The proceedings will be continued
this morning.

UNNECESSARY
TAX IMPOSED
Levy Is to Be Collected
for Telegraph Hill Bonds
Which Failed to Carry
SMALL SUM INVOLVED
Unless Written Protests Are
Filed Money Thus Secured
Must Stay in City Treasury

J As the result of the Board of Super
visors levying last June a special tax
of .O071 cents on every $100 of assessed
valuation to pay the interest and re-
demption on bonds for the improve
ment of Telegraph Hill. before the val
idity of the entire bond issue was
passed on by the Supreme Court, the
taxpayers of this city will be required
to pay into the city treasury the sum
of $35,76O for this purpose without
cause.
The money will be collected, but ow-
ing to the Supreme Court deciding
Monday that the Telegraph Hill pro-
Ject failed to carry, the amount so col
lected will remain idle in the treasury.
1t cannot be used for any other pur-
pose and may not be returned unless
the taxpayer files a written protest
and a subsequent claim for the repay
ment of the taxes so paid.
OF the amount to be collected, the
sum of $20, $50 was supposed to repre-
sent the first years interest ON the en-
tire issue of $597 900, the estimated
cost of parking Telegraph Hill. The
sum of $14,9O was the first contribu-
tion of the taxpayers to the fund for
the redemption of the bonds, which
were to have matured in forty years.
While the tax paid for this speci-
nc purpose amounts to but a few cents
for many individual taxpayers, 1t
counts up in cases where taxes are
paid on an assessment Of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. 1t is not likely
that small property holders will take
the trouble to file a formal protest
against the payment of the tax, al
though the large holders will undoubt-
edly take that precaution. The same
principle is exemplified In the collec-
tion of taxes under the special levy Of
15 cents for schools and hospitals.
About S260,000 Of that money is now
in the city treasury and cannot be used
because written protests were not filed
by all property owners.
Two days after the election for the
issuance of bonds, September %, 1909
The Call printed an article under the
caption Telegraph Hill Project
Beaten" showing by a simple arith-
metical calculation that the PROPOSE
ton failed by 273 votes to receive the
legal two-thirds of the total vote cast
at the election to insure it's being car
ried The total vote polled at the cleo
ton, according to the official returns,
was 81 ,308 Two-thirds of this is 49,,
205. The proposition polled 1882 in IA

Broker Sues Mrs. walls.

Stephen Otis, the stock broker, who
secured Judgment against John G.
Walls for $16O7 SO on what the latter
termed a gambling debt, yesterday
began suit against Walls. his wife,
Emma G. Walls, and the Central
Grain and Stock Exchange to enforce
the collection Of the judgment. The
Sheriff could not find any of Walls
property against which to levy, but it
was found that Mrs. Walls held SIS
shares in the Central Grain and Stock
Exchange, which she claimed as her
separate property. 1t was testified be-
fore a referee that the stock had been
given to Mrs. Walls as a gift by w
f. Baines, president of the corpora
ton. Since receiving the shares In
1900 Mrs. Walls has been paid SAL
900 in dividends. Otis brought the
case before Judge Cook and was given

ISSUES FINDINGS IN
DAIRY INSPECTORS TRIAL
Civil Service Commission Orders One
Dismissed and Another Re
stored to DUTY.

AS a result of the trials Of Dairy
Inspectors E. c.. Smith and F. B..
O'Connor upon charges filed by Health
Officer Ragan the Civil Service Com
mission yesterday ruled that the sus-
pension of Smith by the Health Board
should be made permanent and that
he should be dismissed from his posi-
ton. The commission finds that the
testimony sustains the charges made
against Smith of dereliction of duty.
With respect to the charges against
O'Connor the commission finds that
there has been some laxity in the per-
fcrmance of his duty, but that short
comings have not been established
against him in such a degree as to
Justify his removal from office. The
commission believes that O'Connor has
been sufficiently punished by a suspen-
sion of several months and orders him
restored to duty.
