MORE. QUESTIONS
Hermann Schussler Explains
Apparent Discrepancies in
Past and Present Estimates
COST OF LABOR HIGHER
Spring Valley Fears to
Invest Large Sums Because
Supervisors Menace 1t

In the Spring Valley Water Works
ridge. attorney for the city, read to
Hermann Schussler a communication
sent to A. j. Bryant, then Mavor of
San Francisco, by Charles Webb How
ard in 1877. In this communication MIR.
Howard said that the works were cap
able of supplying 2O,OOO0OO gallons of
water daily. and that there were works
then contemplated by the company. to
be completed in the summer of 1881,
which would supply the city with 50,-
100000 gallons per day at an expense
not exceeding $4,000,000.
Mr.. Schussler was asked how the
company intended TO supply 5O.000.O0O
gallons per day at that expense in 1877,
and he said it was the intention at that
time to construct the dam in the Gala
veras Valley and pipe the water to the
city, but he also said that he thought
that the estimate of $4,000, 900 must have
been made by consultation with some
other engineer
He was then asked why the company
did not build the CalaveraS works and
why it had omitted to do so up TO the
present time. He answered that 1T was
because the company did not care to
invest a large amount of money for
fear the Supervisors would not allow
rates sufficient to cover the interest
His attention was called to the fact
that the company had since then ac-
quired large tracts of land at Crystal
Springs and on the lower Alameda sys-
tenn, and had spent in construction
alone a sum vastly in excess of what 1T
would cost in his own estimate to bring
&c, ,O00, 900 gallons additional from Gala
veras. His answer to that was that the
company, owing to the parsimony of
the Supervisors, had been obliged to ac-
quire properties gradually and add to
the supply a little at time. He was
then asked if he had not expended
nearly $4,000, 900 at Crystal Springs
alone in 1888. He admitted that, but
said that that portion of the system
was acquired as a great central reser-
voir for the future.
The witness also said that Mr.. How
ard was mistaken in estimating the
water production in 1877 at 20.000,Oo0
gallons per day, because at that time
the company's works were capable OF
producing only 100000 gallons.
Mr.. Partridge called the witness at
tention to an estimate which he filed
with the Board of Supervisors in 1901,
m which he stated that the Calaveras
dam would require 100000 cubic yards
of concrete and that 1t would cost
S10 per cubic yard. His attention was
then called to his testimony in this
case, in which he stated that it would
cost $14 cubic yard to build the Gala
veras DAM Mr.. Schussler explained
that this increased cost was due to the
increased price of labor. which, he
had said before, cost 90 per cent more
now than in 1901.

lid Starts on
Cruise.

The British steamship Glenturret.
which arrived recently from Singa-
pore, has been loading contraband for
Vladivostok at Oakland long wharf.
She goes to-day to Port Costa to COM
plete her cargo. In view of the fine
meshes in the japanese blockade act
the Glenturret's prospects of reaching
Nladivostok are thought to be slight,
and particularly so if the Japanese,
as reported, are now turning their
attention to the capture of the Rus
sian stronghold.
The Glenturret is going to make
the attempt. anyhow. In these days
OF close competition and of charters
few and low the temptation is great
10 leave the safe but unremunerative
paths of legitimate commerce and
share in the high profits of blockade
running. AS most of the vessels leav
ing here are playing the game, only
Russia stands to lose anything
Before the vessels leaves port the
representatives of the Gar have hand
ed to the owners of the blockade
runner the freight money, a sum to
cover expenses and a paid-up insur-
anCe DOlicA. II lne SledneI IedGileS
Vladivostok an additional bonus is
paid 10 the owners, who share some
Of this extra profit with captain and
crew.
If the japanese seize and condemn
the vessel the officers and crew are
brought home on liner. and when
the amount of the insurance policy
has been collected the owners books
show the vessel sold at a generous fig
ure.
AS in the case OF the Brinkburn,
now on the way from here to Vladi-
vostok. most of the Glenturret's Of
ficers declined TO serve on a block
ade running expedition. They fear, it
is said, that the British Board of
Trade might take cognizance of their
engagement in unlawful enterprise
and punish by taking away licenses.
The Glenturret's officers, including
the chief engineer, resigneds and their
positions Will be taken By men of
more adventurous spirit or greater
necessity.

TO ADJUST WATER RATES.
Supervisors Hold Annual Investiga-
tion of Spring Valley Company.

The Board of Supervisors, sitting as
a committee of the whole TO investi-
gate the Spring Valley Water Com
pany and adjust the water rates for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, met
yesterday afternoon at the City Hall.
DIR. D'Ancona acted as chairman and
Supervisor Brandenstein was appoint
ed chief investigator. The hearing
will last several days.
The Supervisors decided that, as the
board had been probing exhaustively
into the financial standing of the
water company for the last four
years, these records should be ad
mitted to the present inquisition and
considered as part of the evidence.
Therefore the investigation this time
will only cover the permanent i'm
provements of the company acquired
since June 80. 1904.
The Spring Valley Company sub
mitted a statement signed by its pres
ident, c. w. Howard. and the secre-
tary. Pelham W.. Ames, showing that
the loss for the fiscal year above men
toned was $6996 "a. The total re-
ceipts from water rates, rents, ETC.,
were S2,1S7,436 "A, and the disburse-
ments of operating expense, coupons,
interest, taxes, etc., were $2,194,-
432 9S. The loss dated from June 80,
1904, taken from the balance of June,
1903, left a balance in June. 1904, of
$1S4,056 81.
p. w. Ames, the secretary of the
company, and Expert Williams were
placed on the stand to tell of the ac-
ouisitions of the water company
since July 1, 1904. The company
submitted a statement showing that
the total amount of improved prop
erty acquired since that date is
s437,965 So The itemized list of
greater portion of the property is as
follows: Gum Forest. near Lake Mer-
ced, %. acres, $40.9S0: Colma real

BABY FALLS TWO STORIES
AND is NOT EVEN HURT
Remarkable Experience of EittIe Leon
ard Gray, Who Seems to Bear
Charmed Life

Some good angel was looking after
the welfare of little 3-year-old Leon
ard Gray yesterday afternoon when he
fell from the second-story window of
his mothers kitchen at 109h Perry
street DR.. George Purlenky was sum-
moned soon after the fall occurred
and found the child only slightly
bruised. 1T was a marvel that he was
not killed" said the physician.
Leonard Gray, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Gray, while playing in the
kitchen, climbed to the window, lost
his balance and down he went. Father
and mother thought he was killed, but
the little fellow only said: Ooh! ooh!''
and felt his side. Mr.. and Mrs. Gray
have much to be thankful for, they
say. DR.. Purlenky agreed.
