FRENCH BUDGET INCREASES.
The French budget for 1906 is bitterly criti-
cised in financial circles because it discloses an
increase of expenditures of more than $4,000
600 over the 1905 budget This is due largely to
the increase of salaries and navigation bounties
voted by the spendthrift Chamber of Deputies.

Phelan Asks Real Estate
Board to Act Regarding
Building on the Panhandle

Two matters of Importance camel be-
fore the San Francisco Real Estate
Board at a meeting yesterday. James
d. Phelan, president of the Association
for the Adornment of San Francisco,
brought UP the one of leading interest.
He said that he had noticed that a
brick apartment-h was in course
of erection on the southeast corner of
Fell and Franklin streets, which is in
the route of the proposed extension of
the park panhandle as favored by
Architect Burnham. who is devisng a
plan for the adornment and improve
ment of San Francisco.
If Matthias Johnson. the owner of the
building, expends $4,000 on the struc-
ture, said Mr.. Phelan. there will be
$4,000 more for the city to invest
when IL buys the route from Van Ness
avenue to Baker street. Mr. Phelan
said that he had also noticed a new
brick building Immediately back of the
one owned by Johnson. In his opinion
some organization of San Francisco
ought TO be concerned in notifying
property owners that the park pan
handle extension is in view. The San
Francisco Real Estate Board would
seem to be the proper body to take
the lead in the matter.
On motion of John T. Harmes 1t was
voted to refer the matter to the direc-
tors Of the board, with instruction to
report at a special meeting. President
Howell at once called the meeting for
Wednesday of next week at p. m.
The other matter of Importance to
be considered was report by spe-
cial committee regarding a schedule OF
uniform charges to be made on term
leases of realty. Such schedule was
favored by the committee. A discus
sion took place, in which the speakers
were President Howell and Messrs.
Stern, Speck. Harmes and John c.
Boardman. Several reasons were given
to show the necessity OF the proposed
schedule One was that under existing
conditions. when a controversy regard
ing a lease gets into courts there is
nothing to show rule in reference to
rates. Another was that much trouble
is unnecessarily occasioned by shop
ping" in rates on leases. parties in in
terest going from one brokerage Of
fee to another to find lower terms.
1t was also developed that the busi-
ness of effecting leases has grown in
Importance very greatly. The State
Legislature at it's last session increased
the legal time limit for which leases
may be made from twenty-five to fifty
years. This served to increase the
volume of business. many parties wish
ing TO get long time leases who would
not be satisfied to erect costly improve
ments for comparatively short periods.
After the subject had been thorough
ly discussed the board voted in favor of
"A schedule of uniform rates. All real
estate brokers in the city will be re-
quested TO conspicuously post the rates
agreed upon in their Offices for the gem
eral Information of the public. The
rates are 25a per cent of the first years
rent and "a per cent for each year
thereafter.

Patrol wagon Drivers warned.

At the request of President Poheim
of the Board Of Police Commissioners
the twelve patrol wagon drivers off
duty gathered in the Commissioners
room yesterday morning. The presi-
dent informed them that the board had
no money to buy horses during the
next fiscal year and warned them to be
careful in their treatment of their ami
mails. He said he had seen some of
them driving at high speed when
there was no occasion for it. He also
wanted them to consider the matter of
three substitute drivers with the OBJ
Ject OF enabling them to earn more than
s4S per month. The drivers asked
that they be allowed the same vacation
as the policemen, but the president said
1T was impossible They also asked
the privilege of riding free on street
cars and the president promised to
communicate with General Manager
Chapman on the subject.
