STORY OF THE TAMALPAIs
Master and Engineer State That the
Engines Failed 10 Obey the Sig
nails From the PiIot-HOuse.

United States Local Inspectors Bolles
and BuIger held an investigation yes
terday into the matter of the ferry
steamer Tamalpais. running into and
dana ging the ferry slip at Sausalito on
May II, and viii report their decision
in a few days.
Captain c. Bagges master of the Ia
malpais testified that after the engine
had slowed down and stopped he sig
nailed the engineer to go astern, but
got no answer and the steamer crashed
into the slip. Thinking that perhaps
the ensine-room telegraph was out of
order. he blew three whistles and also
blew down through the tube to the en-
gipe-room, but again failed TO receive
an answer. The main deck rails were
torn away for about fifteen feet and
the pflfng was considerably damaged.
r. S. wosser. chief engineer, testi-
ded that he received a signal from the
pilots bell TO go full speed astern and
that for no apparent cause the engines
refused to back. He then opened the
passover valve, admitting live steam
into the low pressure cylinder, and still
the engine failed to move. He then put
on ..the go ahead motion" for an in
slant TO change the position of the
crank and Immediately reversed the
engine, but IL made not more than fve
or six turns astern and the vessef
crashed into the piling.
Inspector Bulger examined the en-
gines Immediately after the accident
and found them in perfect NZder.

after a precarious existence nearly all
failed, leaving thousands OF boxes or
their foods in mills and warehouses.
These were in several instances bought
up for a song BY Spectators and sold
out 70 grocers and hotels for little or
nothing. The process OF working OF
this old stock has been slow. One will
see the names on menus OF faxed foods
that went cut OF business a year and a
half or two years ago In a few cases
where the abandoned factories have
been bought up there is an effort to
resuscitate the 6efunct, and by copying
the style Of advertising Of Grape-Nuts,

But the public has been educated to the
fact that all these thin faxed foods are
simply soaked wheat or oats rolled thin
and dried out and packed They are not
prepared like Grape Nuts, in which the

which turn the starch part of the wheat
and barley into sugar. occupy many

GEARY-sTREET ROAD.

Supervisor Braunhart objected to the
wording of the paragraph appropriating
s350.000 for the Geary-street railway, in
that il bound the city to electric con-
struction. He argued that it might later
be determined that other construction
would be found more desirable
The appropriat ton of $4,000 for the paw
ing of Fourth street was stricken from
the budget and the amount reapportioned.
The $500 remaining after deducting the
appropriation for the City Hall elevator
was awarded to the Health Department
The Potrero Emergency Hospital is pro-
vided with an extra night steward and
the maintenance account of the City and
County Hospital is increased.
Among the minor changes wa$that of
directing the placing of new safety sta
tion at Taylor street: the aggregating of
the salaries in the electrical department
SO that the fund may be subdivided as
the Commission on Electricity may think
best; the aggregating of the sum for
the purchase of fire apparatus at the re-
quest of Chief Sullivan. and the pro-
vision for school repairs by the r-oard of
Works to be paid out of the Board of
Educators funds. There was also an
addition of the item for eight series of
bonds for street improvements at 1924. 900.

ADOPT BUDGET
Appropriations for NUM-
cipal Departments for the
Fiscal Year Are Passed
VOTE is UNANIMOUS
Sufficient Sum Allowed for
Police Force to Pay Ex-
ira Detective Sergeants

The city budget for the fiscal year end
ing June 50, 1906, amounting to s72s7 o00
was passed last night by the Board of
Supervisors without dissenting vote.
There was practically no argument over
any of the items with the exception. of
chase of the Twin Peaks auxiliary water
supply system for Increased FIRE protec-
ton. Supervisor Gallagher wanted to
have 81, ,4S0 deducted from the appropria-
,tion TO be used by the Police Department
for the purpose of adding twenty more
patroImen to the force. The motion was
lost. Later Gallagher paid a neat COM
pliment to the Finance Committee for its
conscientious work in preparing the
budget.
Among the important changes in the
budget before it's passage to print was
the award of a lump sum of S949, $40 to
the Police Department under the head of
salaries. This will enable the Commits
sioners to pay the ten patrolmen at pres
ent acting as detective sergeants the pay
that grade is entitled to. For several
years the present force of special men
has been doing the work of detective
sergeants. for which the men have only
been receiving the pay of patrolmen.
while their expenses in the detective bu-
reau have been heavir than those Of the
ordinary patroiman.
FIREMEN's DAY OFF.
Supervisor Hooks. seconded by Super
visor Rock, asked that the allowances
voted TO the Fire Department for money
to cover the vacations of fremen be i'm
creased to allow the men one day a week
off duty. Chairman Rrandenstein ex-
planned the money had been voted in
former years, but the Fire Commission
ers had ignored the purpose of the ap-
preparation and applied it to the pay
ment of other salaries.
1t was suggested by Supervisor Comte
that $500 be taken from the appropria-
ton for the paving of Fourth street TO
be applied to the building of another ele-
vator at the City Hall. He spoke of the
present elevators frequently crowded
condition and said that it was a menace
to life and limb.
Supervisor Braunhart asked that the
5000 appropriated for expenses connected
with the requirement of public utilities
be applied to the 5000 necessary for In
vestigation and report of Marsden Man
son, Iity Engineer Woodward and Luther
Waggoner, on the cost of the Sierra Ne
vada water supply. The balance will be
made up by $1,000 from the urgent neces-
sItyn fund.
Police Judge Cabaniss appeared before
the board to ask for the appointment of
and an allowance for a Greek interpret
er. He said that at the present time
hardly day passes that call is not
made for a Greek interpreter. As the
charter only provides for five interpret
ers. an appointment was refused. 1t was
stated that the provision would be made
for the remuneration of the needed inter-
prefer. Ta
