scribed this money for aespecifc pur-
pose, the assisting of those made des-
titute by the fire. They propose TO see
that II is expended for that purpose"
And right here seems 10 be the diff
ference between local relief workers
and the Eastern custodians Of some
thing like 100000 which has not yet
been turned over to the relief corpora
ton Those in San Francisco hold, and
are more or less outspoken of their
opinion. that money subscribed for San
Francisco relief is San Francisco
money. Those who are holding the
money look upon it as intrusted to
them for a given purpose. and say that
they are responsible to the contributors
for its proper use. The difference OF
opinion seems the chief obstacle in the
through some source for the relief Of
the refugees.
Acting under their view of the case
the Boston committeeman are continu-
ing TO administer the fund as they see
ht They have, for example. cared for
and helped toward self-support 500 San
Francisco refugees who fed to Boston
after the fire. The total expense of
this particular work was $29. $50, less
than $50 TO the individual The bills
were paid out Of the fund. The Boston
committee will this week send to Oak
land a carload of stoves TO be distrib-
uted in that city. The stoves will be
paid for out Of the fund held at Boston,
and what IS popularly called in San
Francisco, "the San Francisco fund"
But the indications are strong that the
3 custodians propose to expend the
money where, according TO their judg-
rnent il will do the greatest amount OF
good for those who were burned out.
II may be- too, that this difference of
opinion Will prove the beginning OF
the end Of the relief corporation.
Already Secretary Bicknell has pro-
posed-in his letter Of resignation pub
lished in The Call yesterday-that the
relief corporation get out OF business
as quickly as practicable. Before the
coming month passes away the indica-
fions are that the funds held in the
East viii have been turned over to the
regular organized charities OF San
Francisco for distribution, the charities

visory board or boards approved by the

JAPAN MAY REPAIR
DAMAGED LINERS.

Instead of being brought to San
Francisco for the repairs necessitated
by the accidents which have recently
befallen them there is a likelihood that
the liners Manchuria and Mongolia of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will be taken to Japan and placed in
dry dock there. The question of select
ing the port for repairs is now under
consideration by the officers of the
company and their decision will depend
largely on the report of the temporary
board of survey which will examine
into the condition of the vessels upon
their arrival at Honolulu.
The damages received from the rocks
of Rabbit Island, where the Manchuria
went ashore, and Midway Island, where
the Mongolia was stranded, are extern
sive on both liners, and the loss to the
Hartman interests. figuring in the cost
of repairs and tonnage, will approx
mate 81 100000 The possible choice of
a Japanese port rather than that of
San Francisco is due to existing condi-
tions here which make the amount of
time necessary for the repair work an
uncertain quantity. In case the ves-
sells are found to be in such condition
that they can be propelled under their
own steam from Honolulu the choice
of Japan is almost certain, but If tow
is necessary II may De ueclued to Dring

the repair work executed as quickly
as possible and do not want to take
chances of a long delay such as has
occurred in the case of the steamer
Columbia, which has, been in the Union
Iron Works here for several months
and is still in an incomplete condition.
We will decide on the matter when we
receive the detailed report as to the

LOW TAX RATE FOR
SAN MATE0.

REDWOOD CITY, Sept 23.-Since the
special tax of 40 cents for the court
house has been dropped by the Board
of Supervisors and the rax rate fixed at
s1.55, the present year will be record
one for low taxes in San Mateo County
BY the voting of bonds for the build
ing of a new courthouse, the old one
having been destroyed by the earth
quake, the special tax was reduced to
cents, making a reduction of 81 cents
in this one item. In view of this reduc-
tion and the increased assessment Of
property the board increased the school
and road funds l cent and made reduc-
tions in other funds which will serve
to reduce the burden to those school
districts that have voted special taxes
for one year to repair the damage
caused by the recent disaster
1t is believed that the low tax rate
will do much toward bringing people
into the county.
Palo Alto has been subdivided and
placed upon the market within the last
few days. The papers and maps for
this subdivision were accepted by the
Board of Supervisors of San Mateo
County and filed with the clerk last
Friday. 1t is ten-acre tract, about a
mile from Palo Alto Station and about
ten minutes walk from the new street
railway which is now being constructed
on University avenue. The tract has
been divided into bungalow lots of sew
enty-fve feet frontage and supplied
with sidewalks and water.
Several other tracts will be opened
throughout the county within the next
few weeks and sold in small lots. Most
of these subdivisions have proved very
popular.

the disaster. Over fifty lots were sold

The Baptist church congregation has
been successful in securing a lot for a
church, and the plans will soon be

Many new houses have been started
and several more have been contracted
for, but work on them has been de-
ferred on account of the scarcity of
labor and material. Labor of all kinds
is in great demand and notices have
been posted in all the prominent places
about town telling where employment
can be had.
