WORKS BOARD
LOSES CONTROL
New Budget Puts Perma-
nent City Improvements
Under Independent Caption
TAX LEVY is FIGURED
Rate for All Purposes Will
Aggregate S1.6636 on Each
500 Assessed Valuation

In the municipal budget recommended
by the Supervisors Finance Committee
the immediate control Of the funds ap-
propriated for public Improvements is in
measure taken away from the Board
Of Public Works. In the budget OF the
present fiscal year the public improve
ments provided for were placed under
the caption Board Of Public Works. -
after which followed the allowances for
salaries and maintenance of the various
departments under the latter board 5
control.
The new budget very properly begins
with the appropriations for public better
menos under the caption Permanent
improvements. which constitute in
themselves q budget. But the approprja-
tions are not placed under the caption Of
the Board of Public Works.
Under the new arrangement the Board
of Supervisors will pass a resolution di-
recting the Board OF Works to recon-
mend the carrying out of a specified i'm
provement When the recommendation
has been made the necessary ordinance
granting the Board Of Works authority
10 proceed with the work will be passed
and the contracts let. It has always been
necessary for the Board Of Works to ask
for the required authority, and in two
cases where il did not do so the contracts
were declared void, notably in the con-
tracts AWARDED TO r. OFke q 70 AOI
The paving of II street and the repair Of
bituminous pavements, both of which the
irm lost because the technical require
ments had not been complied with. 1t is
believed that a specific direction from
the Supervisors that the board recon-
mend the doing of the work will prevent
complications that might ensue- In fact.
the Board Of Works would exact this di-
rection. as the allowances for improve
ments do not come within its appropria-
tiOn proper
The Calls computation that the tax
rate for city purposes will be Sl16S6 on
every 500 was verified yesterday. The
running expenses Of the city govern
ment, together with the improvements
projected, viii use up 81 Of the levy.
Seven cents will be levied for the parks
and e-36 cents for the bond interest and
redemption fund, against 1856 cents last
year The fact that the bonds were not
sold Immediately resulted in surplus IN
the interest fund, which reduced the tax
REQUIRED for 1866. The State rate viii be
fn the neighborhood of 80 cents, so the
total rate for all purposes will aggregate
approximately Sl-663e. against sl-6595 for

BURNETT NEEDS
! Ten MORE MEN
Chief of Police Dinan Urges
Appropriation for Twenty
Five Detective Sergeants
SUPERVISORS IN FAVOR
San Francisco Is Far Behind
Other Cities in Strength
OF Plain Cothes Force

Chief of Police Dinan has presented
to the Board of Supervisors a request
that the number of detective sergeants
in the department be increased from
nfteen to twenty-five, as authorized in
the charter. AT present the fifteen de-
tective sergeants are assisted by spe-
cial men taken from the ranks of the
patrolmen in recognition of good ser
vice These special men attend to the
duties usually assigned TO detective
sergeants and work the same hours.
They draw the pay, however. of patrol
men, 500 a month, whereas the salary
of detective sergeant is $3.50 a
month.
In presenting his request Dinan ar
CUES the business of the demand for an
increased salary. He points out that
the special men, while taken from the
ranks, of necessity do more important
work than the patrolmen do. In the
performance of this duty they are COM
PEELED often to expend small sums for
which the city allows them no recon-
pense. Only in the case where a
voucher is presented by them is an in
cidental expense paid.
Chief Dinan then shows the differ
ence existing in the number of detec-
tive sergeants in San Francisco and
other cities. Los Angeles. with a much
smaller population than San Francisco
has fifteen detective sergeants, and
Kansas City, of almost equal size, has
twenty-eight menNn the detective de-
partment
Vhe necessity for the number being
increased involves only an annual ex-
penditure of $4,000, while the work of
the department, says the Chief, imper-
atiyely demands the additional men.
The special men taken from the ranks
lack the authority that should be
given them when they are acting mere
ly as pdtrolmen in plain clothes and
doing the work of detective sergeants.
The present staff of special men, ten
in number. has been faithful and al
ways viking and reliable for the ardu-
Gus duties eXacted. From a. m to
10 D. m. they are on duty, the same
hours observed by the detective ser
geants. Moreover, of late there have
been many large robberies and one
murder mystery that has forced the
men to work overtime This they have
always done without murmur and the
Chief of the department and Captain of
Detectives Burnett feel that they
should have proper compensation. A
majority of the Supervisors are said
to favor the increase and il is expected
that the allowance will be made when
the matter comes up before the board
for hearing in few days

COURT GRANTS RESTRAINING
ORDER TO PREVENT BOYCOTT
Judge Morrow Issues Temporary Ina
Junction to Stop Unions From
Running Trade of Hat Men!

Judge Morrow, in the United States
Circuit Court, granted a restraining
order yesterday against the California
Federation of Labor and the local labor
unions from boycotting the firm of
d. Il. Loewe & Co, hat manufacturers,
of Danbury, Conn.
Triest 4 Co. of San Francisco are
stated in the complaint as the largest
customers of Loewe & Co., and 1t is
said that the action of the labor unions
in instructing retailers to handle
union made hats exclusively has
caused a cessation in the demand of
the Loewe hats on this coast.
The temporary injunction issued by
Judge Morrow was for stopping the
boycott against. the product of the
non union Loewe factory pending the
trial On next Monday the hearing of
the plea for permanent Injunction
against the local labor unions will
come up.
