WORKS BOARD
WANTS WYER

The Board of Public Works is pre-
pairing a supplementary estimate of
budget expenses for the next fiscal year
to be presented to the Board of Super
visors for its consideration In day or
two. The estimate will contain re-
quest for the appointment of an attor-
ney to conduct its legal affairs. John
B. Garland, clerk in the department,
who has been attending to the legal
business of the board for several years,
yesterday requested the board to relieve
him from that portion of his multifa-
rious duties.
Garland says he has come to be in
the nature of bureau of information
for the Department of Works, and the
legal business has increased to such an
extent that he is unable to stand the
strain. Garland says that there are
now fourteen cases pending in the Su-
preme, Superior and Justices courts,
in which former and present Commits
sioners of Works are defendants. The
board agrees with Garland that an at
torney should devote his entire time to
its legal affairs, and to that end will
ask that funds be provided for the en-
ployment of an attorney. The salary
will be anywhere from $3.50 to $3.50 per
month-that is, If the Supervisors ac-
quiesce. The City Attorney is the legal
adviser of all city departments, but
owing to pressure Of other business is
unable to devote much time to the
Board of Works.
The City Engineers office is confront
ed with serious difficulty owing to the
fact that several of the assistant en-
gineers have resigned their positions to
accept more lucrative employment
During the last month no less than five
such employees have severed their con-
nection with the department, and the
force is badly crippled as a result
Those who have left or are about to
leave are Surveyors Pidge and Her
mann, Engineers Price and Hoicomb
and Draughtsman Burrage, and more
are 10 follow. The force at present is
unable to handle the regular office
work, and unless relief is provided by
the Board of Supervisors in the next
budget the preliminary work under the
bond issue cannot be accomplished. The
matter will be considered at to-day's
meeting of the Board of Works.
The San Francisco call., 1905-04-19
BEGINS TO FIX
BUDGET ITEMS

The budget estimates of the Sheriff,
Collector for the coming fiscal year
were gone over by the Finance Com
mittee of the Supervisors yesterday,
and 1t was tacitly agreed to allow the
appropriations asked for.
Sheriff Curtis request was $500 higher
than last year, the extra amount being
for the purchase Of three sand wagons.
The total of the Sheriff's item for sala-
ries. subsistence of prisoners and main
tenance of jails is $13S, ,220. He also
wanted $1275 to repair Jail No. 1 and
$8050 to repair jails Nos. 2 and 8. The
committee cut down the amount for
Jail repairs to $500 at the Sheriff's own
request. The other figures were allowed
to stand.
The committee allowed the Assessor
$4S,200 for charter salaries, $4,000 for
salaries of extra clerks. $4,000 for addi-
tional extra clerks and $1,000 for ex-
penses of field deputies.
Treasurer McDougald wanted $18, 700
in all, including $2400 for two additional
clerks and $500 for incidental expenses
and for transportation Of funds to Sac
ramento. The matter of one of the ad-
ditional clerks was taken under advise
ment. but the other items were allowed.
Recorder Godchaux asks for $4,000
for copyists, against $4,000 for last
year, and for $20,100 for other salaries,
including $4,000 for four extra deputies
and $1,000 for a machinist. He also
wants $500 for book typewriting ma
chimes and $3.50 for stamps. The COM
mittee allowed $1S,900 for salaries and
$4,000 for copyists. The item of the
typewriting machines was passed tenn
porarfly.
Tax Collector Smith asked for $6s, 800
for salaries, including $500 for a
stenographer. which latter item, how
ever, was withdrawn. For incidentals
he wants S4590, but this item was cut
to some extent.
It Is the intention OF the committee to
provide specifically for each item of
expense, so as to preserve the urgent
necessity fund intact as far as possible.
The committee will resume considera-
tion of the budget this afternoon,
when the estimates Of the Police and
Fire Commissioners will be taken up.
On Thursday afternoon the estimates
of the Justices clerk and of the Civil
Service, Health and Elections Com
missions will be gone over, and on
Friday afternoon those of the Park
Commission and Board Of Public
Works.

NEW HOME OF MUSICAL
BURLESQUE UNDER WAY
Mason Street by a Manager
From New York City.

San Francisco is soon to have
home Of musical burlesque under the
management of a man who has made
that form Of stage offering succeed in
New York and other Eastern cities.
His name is Weber and he has leased
the Terrace Garden. on Mason street,
between Eddy and Ellis, and is now
transforming its interior to accord
with his plan-the only plan, he AYERS,
oy which such an enterprise can be
made permanently attractive TO the
public and profitable to the manage
ment. A stage is in course of con-
struction which will be sufficiently
spacious to admit OF spectacularism,
and set of principal performers, a
mixed chorus of twenty-fOur voices
and a complete orchestra are being
engaged. Lionel Lawrence, who has
produced some good things on O'Far-
ren street, will direct the stage.
Instead of combining his audiences
to regulation theater seats, Manager
Weber will have them seated at tables
in both the auditorium and gallery,
where refreshments can be served. The
admission prices will be so and %
cents and respectability is to be care
fully preserved in every respect 1t Is
the present intention to open the new
playhouse early in May with an at
tractiVe bill.

CALL HARRISON
As AN EXPERT

William Greer Harrison, president of
the Olympic Club, was called as a
witness for the defense at the trial of
Joseph Smith, the aged contractor
charged with the murder of Joseph e.
MCGOWAN at 1868 Mission street on No
vember rs. In answer to question by
Attorney Ach, based upon the blow the
defendant received on the chin from
MCGOWAN, followed by the. defendants $
railing and cutting his forehead on q
marble slab, he expressed the opinion
that 1t would have put the defendant
in a dazed condition SO that he might
not know what he was doing for
some minutes later.
remember the case of Harry
Cnester. continued Harrison. He was
engaged In four-round bout at the
olympic Club about a year ago. Tn
the nrst round he was knocked down
py blow on the chin, but got on his
Ieet before the count of ten. He fought
