WILSON'S INN.

They are repairing the main sewers as
fast as possible.
We dare not spend more than one
elfth the total appropriation each
month because the winter months must
be considered. They are the worst
months for breaks. and If we were to
exceed the limit now we would soon
find ourselves without funds. fOn that
account sometimes the repairs in some
particular section may be delayed. We
try to repair all sewers of which COM
plant is made The work Of repairing
the Fourteenth street sewer and the
one at the crossing of Vallejo street
and Van Ness avenue is now under
way We will soon let a contract for
the sewer on Valencia street and will
certainly do as much work as the linn
tied fund at our command will per-
NIT.
A source Of complaint may also be
the fact that sometimes after the sewer
is repaired there Is some delay In the
resurfacing OF the pavement This may
lead to the impression that the sewer
itself has not been repaired. The Board
of Works is desirous of making repairs
wherever necessary. but 1 repeat that
the limited sum of money at our dis
posal will retard some repairs that
must give way to others deemed to be
more urgent.

MANY SEWERS ARE
IN BAD SHAPE.

Frequent complaints are being fled
regarding the deplorable condition Of
the sewers. It Is claimed that much
OF the sewage that Is supposed to be
discharged into the bay finds its way
instead to the surface of the streets
owing to the numerous breaks in the
sewers. Again the stencil that eman-
ates from the manholes>at the street
crossings demonstrates that the sew
age is not being carried off.
The Board of Works disclaims all
responsibility for the present bad state
of the sewers.
Relative to the complaint of the bad
condition of sewers, Frank Maestretti,
president OF the board, said
We are aware that many sewers are
disruption by the earthquake. We are
severely handicapped in making the
needed repairs owing to the fact that
we were allowed but $4,000 for the
purpose by the Board of Supervisors.
we are compelled to expend the money
under the one twelfth provision Of
the charter. which gives US but s666666
per month. We can therefore only
make repairs that are considered most
urgent. We have several gangs of
sewer repafrers at work constantly.

Of its brooks; in my nostrils stl lives the breath
of flowers that perished twenty years ago.
