SAYS CITY MUST
NOT Be ST|NCY
Herbert Law Makes Perti-
nent Remarks as to Geary
Street Road Appropriation
ESTIMATE rs TOO LOW
Says Allowance Should Be
Enough to Insure a First
Class Municipal System

Herbert E.-Law yesterday forwarded a
communication to Mayor Schmitz in
which he makes certain pertinent sugges-
tions relative to the appropriation of $780,
600 for the acquisition of the Geary-street
road contained in the budget which is
now in the hands of the Mayor for his
approval. Laws letter says in part:
Either one OF two things should be done In
connection with this appropriation-tne amount
of work to be accomplished should De lesSened
or the appropriation should be increased. II
the city is to operate an electric road on Geary
street II is but common business prudence 10
employ but frst-class construction. m
gong over the reports and estimates OF the
engineers ] am left lin much doubt respecting
the character of construction and equipment
contemplated.
sure frst-cass construction equipment and
operation throughout the length OF the pro-
posed road? In this connection Ford, Bacon
& Davis, New York engineers estimate the
cost OF construction and equipment OF two
and a half miles on Sutter street. from Mar
ket to Preside avenue at $1,000. 600, against
the citys estimate for four and one-seventh
miles of the Geary-street road at only two
thirds of a million difference too large to
be passed unnoticed.
gather the impression from the engineers
report that the present rails on Geary street
are TO be used. and If this is it would be
a mistake. The present electric so
wide that there is not sufficient distance be-
tween the present Geary-street tracks to ad-
nit their safe operation. The present road
bed is inefficient and the appropriation must
be sufficient to permit OF putting down a
cement foundation and blocks for firm road
bed.
Our people are divided as to a municipal
road. There are many opposed to II and
many in favor of 1t. However. If 1t is decided
10 acquire the read, all good citizens will want
the experiment to be fair and under the best
possible conditions

Captain Durham eensured.

Censure was passed yesterday by the
United States Local Inspectors upon
Captain r. J. Dunham, master and pilot
of the steamer Roanoke, for having
crossed the bow of the steamer Pomona
on April 49, The censure does not in
volve any fine or suspension of license,
no injury having resulted from Captain
Dunham's act The inspectors say in
their decision. From the testimony of
Captain Dunham we find that he passed
the Pomona more closely than was pru
dent, and although no casualty occurred
from the close proximity of these ves-
sells, we censure r. j. Dunham for pass
ing SO near to the Pomona, especially
as he had the whole ocean on his port
side"

TESTIMONY is CONCLUDED
IN THE SAKE CONTROyERS
Question Whether the Japanese Bever-
age Is a Beer or Wine to
Be Decided Soon.

The remainder of the testimony in the
sake case was taken in the United
States Appraisers office yesterday be-
fore United States General Appraiser
William B. Howell, and counsel were
allowed sixty days in which to file
briefs. B. A. Levett acted as special
counsel for the Government. Thomas
Fitch and Stanley Jackson represented
the sake importers The contention of
the Government is that sake is q wine,
which is subject to a duty of so cents
per gallon. The importers contend that
sake is a, beer, dutiable at not moro
than 20 cents. More than one million
dollars in duties has been paid under
protest since 1897 by sake importers,
and should 1t be decided that sake is
only beer the Government will be
obliged to refund more than half of that
sum.

REYNOLDS NARRATES
SOME WATER HISTORY
Tells About the COnsolida-
tiOn of the Two Rival
Companies.

George W. Reynolds, bookkeeping
expert was on the stand yesterday in
United States Commissioner Heacock's s
court in the Spring Valley Water case.
He recited certain facts connected with
the consolidation of the old city water
works and the Spring Valley Water
works, which took place in 1865. In
reply to a question by Assistant City
Attorney John S. Partridge he said that
the city waterworks had actually paid
in $4,000 and the Spring Valley had
paid in sL757, 900, the new corporation
issuing $4,000 shares to the stockhold-
ers OF the par value of 800 per share.
Mr.. Reynolds added that the plant Of
the old company had gone out of use
many years ago. except the site of the
old pumping station at Black Point
During 1865 the consolidated company
paid dividend of $4,000, or 8 per
cent; during 1866 the dividend was
$780, or II per cent; during 1857 the
dividend was $3e0.00o, or II per cent,
and in 1865 the capital stock was in
creased to ss.ooo.o00 and additional
stock was issued to themselves at SIS
per share, aggregating SLIGO. 900.

LICK HIGH SCHOOL WILL
ISSUE UNIQUE PUBLICATION
1905 Number OF "Tiger" to Eclipse Any
journal Printed by 1'Prep"
Community on This Coast.

All records in the line of a high
school publication in California are
about to be eclipsed by a special num-
ber of the Lick School paper that was
sent to press yesterday. 1t will rival in
pretentiousness the Blue and Gold,
published at Berkeley. The name Of
the paper is the Tiger.
The class of 05 originated the Ti
ger, and have, therefore, devoted more
than the customary interest to their
final publication.
The Tiger will be unique in that it
will present to view the photographs of
every one of the present students at
Lick, to the number of more than 400.
The heroes of the athletic teams will be
preserved to memory as they looked
when they captured the football, base
ball, track and swimming events by ex-
cellent photographs. Freeman w. Bow
ley is the editor in chief. Miss Harriet
Park presides over the art department
and has designed a cover for this
special number, which is much ad-
mired by the student body. Snap shots
of all the organizations included in the
school body are in the Tiger. The lit
erature is especially good. The greater
part was produced by the senior scribes.
Clever cartoons and joshes serve to en-
liven the text and give 1t dash.

Property Owners on Union
Square Thoroughfare
to Meet.

The conversion of Union Square ave-
nue. into a handsome and picturesque
business street, as proposed by j. w.
Raphael some days ago, has gained the
hearty approval Of property and lease
owners interested in the locality. The
idea to have imposing fronts to the
shops along the avenue and a uniform
style of architecture will add vastly to
the value of the property, while giving
the public larger shopping facilities.

provement scheme shall take tan
gible form a meeting has been called
for next Monday evening. June II. at

BARRY O'NEIL BRINGS SUIT
TO RECOVER HIS SALARY
Asks Judgment for S1750 Damages
Against Dick Ferris OF the Grand
Occra-House.

Barry O'Neil, stage director. has
severed his connection with Dick Ferris.
whose company has been holding forth
at the Grand Opera-house. As result
ONeil wants $1750 damages from Ferris.
for which he filed suit yesterday
ONeil alleges that he entered into a
contract with Ferris by which he was
to be paid 500 week for twenty
weeks to act as stage manager. the
contract dating from April 16 last. On
the 4th inst, however, O'Neil was dis
missed by Ferris During his term of
service O'Neil says he was paid but
$500 on account of the contract, while
the contract calls for an even $4,000.
Subtracting $500 from $4,000 leaves
an even $500 due. but O'Neil is not
satisfied with this amount. but claims
that his actual damages are $3.50. So
Ferris must defend himself against
prayer for Judgment for this amount.
