CONSIDERING PIPE LINE SPECIFICATIONS

At an adjourned meeting of the
council at o'clock this afternoon, the
plans and specifications and forms of
contract under which the work shall
be done, for excavating the pipe line
ditch were read and considered. Up
to $3.50, the council had not formally
adopted the plans and authorized ad-
vertisements for bids as there seemed
some doubt over the ability of con-
tractors to live up to the contract as
submitted. Minor changes will prob
ably be made to conform with cOndi-
tons that might arise in building the
line.
According to the specifications, the
proposed pipe line will cross Mill
creek at three different points be-
tween the point of intake and the
Wickersham bridge and from there
follow the county road to the reser-
voir site, two miles east of the city.

after five Wednesday morning, was
one great defamation, a roar and sue
cession of frightful shocks. Flames
broke out everywhere. Passengers
alighted but couldn't walk while the
shocks lasted. 1t appeared to come
from east to west and from north to
south, and there was also vertical mo-
tons. There was no oppression in the
atmosphere to give warning. The
falling walls made noises like cannon.
l walked down Mission street, l met
several women in their night clothes
calling for their little ones. l saw men
rushing through half fallen buildings
throwing clothes to women in the
streets. In the postoffice the beauti-
full marble was broken and piled so
one could not get into the doors. The
plaster was broken and men were in
jured by falling debris.
Il saw burning, falling buildings ev-
erywhere and wagons carting dead and
injured to emergency hospitals"
Richard Cole, a San Francisco bust
ness man has arrived in this city. He
says that but for the fire Frisco would
have been no worse off than Oakland.
He says:
Il was in the Palace hotel at the
time of the shock. l was aroused and
had to cling to the foot Of the bed to
keep my footing l grabbed my clothes
and made my way to the streets. The
people seemed crazy. Women begged
soldiers to allow them to go back to
get jewels. The soldiers did right in
taking no chances and allowed none
to enter. 1 went through the Baltimore
fire, and the ST. Louis cyclone and they
were not to be compared with this ca
tastrophe"
John P. Oldham, of Frisco, says he
hurried to the bay and while he was
waiting to board a steamer another
shock moved the shore from two to
six feet.

CITY WATER IS CONTAMINATED
EPIDEMIC OF DYSENTERY RAGING

said can be traced to decomposinK veg
etable matter. indicating that the i'm
purities now being dumped into Mill
creek above the point where the city
is diverting water into the reservoirs,
are responsible for the epidemic. A
week ago, the water officials discov
cred that springs, supplying the city
reservoirs were falling and it was
found necessary to resort to Mill
creek to keep up the supply. A Is
inch pipe line was run from the stream
into gravel bed for filtration and
then piped into the reservoir. The
failure of springs and wells has been
a deep mystery to the water officials
as we'll as other citizens affected by
the phenomeon and as yet no salts
factory solution of the mystery has
been advanced. Several small streams
in the valley have diminished in flow,
in many places, nearly one half.

An epidemic Of dysentery is raging

this morning that the matter will
probably be taken up with Prosecut-
ing Attorney Wilson to compel people
living along Mill creek within the five
mile limit above the city to discon-
tinue the practice Of dumping refuse
into the stream until the city can in
stal the new water system.

allowed. Councilman Kirkman said
the aggregate seemed large but he was
unable to say that any particular item
was irregular.
The council passed resolution re-
quiring all bills contracted against the
water supply fund, to be accompanied
by vouchers.
An ordinance, appropriating $1,000
for the relief of fire sufferers at San
Francisco was passed unanimously.
Councilman Kirkman of the water
