EXCESS FUNDS
To BE UTILIZED
Windfall for Board of Edu-
cation Enables Improve
ment of School Facilities
APPOINTS SUBSTITUTES
Residents Desire the Primary
Classes Restored to the
James Lick Institution

The members of the Supervisors
Finance Committee held a conference
yesterday with the Board of Education
and Auditor Baehr seeking to arrive at
some agreement relative to the excess
money estimated at $4,000 which will
be received from the first installment of
taxes for the support of the schools.
After the legal phases had been dis
cussed the Finance Committee and the
Auditor agreed to honor any demands
for urgent improvements to school
houses decided upon by the Board Of
Education. This action will permit the
immediate construction of the new
four-room Bergerot schoolhouse in the
Richmond district to remedy the lack
of accommodations for pupils there
abouts. Director Boyle was delegated
to go ahead with the work. Sanitary
improvements of the vault systems and
sewerage in some schools will also be
made.
The Board of Education will begin
at once the construction Of two addi-
uonal rooms in the Pacific Heights
School where eighty pupils are on the
waiting list. School Director Boyle has
been delegated to make the necessary
arrangements for the additions to cost
$500. The board will also paint the
Richmond and Dudley Stone schools.
A new class in the Hearst and Laguna
Honda schools will be established, the
latter school having an excess of
eighy-three pupils. The $4,000 avail
able will do much to improve the school
facilities throughout the city, although
the sum Is far from being adequate for
the needs now urgent.
The Board of Education at its meet
ing yesterday adopted a resolution
that the following. being those next in
ordeH in the competitive examination
held June IL, 1904, be placed on the day
substitute list in the order Of their
standing: Miss Lottie E. Faber, Miss
Gertrude Walker, Miss Clara Mordecai,
Miss Faustina Spadoni and Miss Cath
crime Manning. This makes fifty-seven
teachers already taken from the list of
successful contestants In the examina-
ton last June.
Eighty residents near the James Lick
School "vehemently" protested against
the transfer Of the primary classes
therein to the Noe Valley School. as
working a hardship on the smaller
children who formerly attended the
Lick School. The petition to restore
the primary classes to the James Lick
School was taken under advisement.
A leave Of absence was granted Miss
May Mcdonnell. a regular teacher in
the Denman Grammar School, from
January 16. 1905. to the beginning of
the fall term Of 1906, on account Of i'll
ness.
The resignation Of Miss Hazel Bertz,
q regular teacher in the Irving M. Scott
Grammar School. was accepted, to take
effect January 16, 1905.
The San Francisco call., 1905-01-20

by limiting and restricting the lease
hold rights of the valley. The premises
ceded were not only not granted in fee.
but the trusteeship was restricted to
the preservation of the cleft, or
gorge" as a public recreation ground
for all time; and even the lease term
was not left to the discretion Of Cali
fornia, but was limited to ten years
a limit which has precluded the possi-
bility OF enlisting private capital in the
development of the valley, and espe-
cially in the establishment of hotel.
NOT CEDED TO STATE.
In fact, the Yosemite Valley was not
ceded to the State of California The
right to pay the expense of its main
tenance as a public recreation ground
was the only thing granted, and SO ap-
prehensive was the Government that
even that trust might be abused that
a limited lease right was attached as
an irrevocable covenant.
When sentimental objection is intro
duced. on the ground that we are re-
ceding Yosemite Valley to the Govern
ment, it is to be remembered that the
only thing granted was a privilege Of
paying the cost of preservation and
maintenance of the valley as q public
recreation ground for the benefit of the
grantor, and not for the benefit exclu-
sively Of the grantee.
TRUST LIMITED.
This was granted in trust with mar
row limitations, and since this Is the
only thing granted it Is the only thing
we have to re-cede or re-grant. We are
not re-ceding the valley, for we never
owned 1t. We are not re-ceding the
control Of the valley, for that trust
was never reposed in US. We are sim
ply re-ceding to the Government of the
United States the responsibility Of pay
ing the expense Of its preservation.
The conditions of the grant to the
State. when properly considered, should
be offensive to State pride, hence the
trust may be relinquished without dis
honor. If the State would repeal the
act by which the State indicated the
acceptance Of this trust, its trusteeship
would close and the original status
would be restored. The fee to the
granted premises Is in the Government
and not in the State of California. The
vacation of the trust would restore the
right of administration to the Govern
ment. Those who are opposing the re-
cession would occupy a much more
consistent position If they were asking
the Government to grant the Yosemite
Valley to the State Of California and
vest in the grantee the title to the
property. This is the only thing the
State of California could accept and
maintain its dignity as sovereign
State.
Again bespeaking your pardon for
the Intrusion in this matter. / have the
honor to remain, yours very truly,
