Retail Grocers Renew Protest.

Nathan Bibo. president of the Asso-
ciated Retail Grocers of San Francisco,
renews his protest against the manner
in which the claims of merchants are
treated by the relief finance committee
and says among other things:
Since the finance committee. by it's
declared policy, evidently considers the
settlement of the claims of local mer-
chants in the light of charity rather
than the settlement of a business OBJ
legation, we feel that our only recourse
is an appeal to the Grand Jury which
represents the city of San Francisco,
to whose citizens as a body-and not to
any particular individual or individu-
als-the relief funds were sent. We
still hope that the attitude of the
finance committee will be changed"

BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF WHARF ARE REJECTED
Harbor Commission Says All Are
Too High and Variance Is
Rather Pulling.

Owing to the great variance between
the bids for the construction of depot
for the California and Northwestern
Railway on the seawall, lot II, the
Board of Harbor Commissioners re-
jected them yesterday.
Commissioners Spear and Mackenzie
held that the lowest bid, that of Fred
Miller for $4,000, was too high. being
$1,000 more than the engineers esti-
mate Of what the building should cost
The largest bid, that of the Chambers
Construction Company, was $17.5o0.
The secretary was instructed to read
vertise for bids.
petition from the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company for the right to
use the outer end of the Vallejo street
wharf. which the company said it
needed for three new steamers it in
tends 70 put in operation, was rejected
on the ground that there We're many
prior applicants.
Right to use a lot on Channel street,
near Fourth, was granted the Hum
boldt Lumber Company.
The w. G. Leale Company made ap-
plication to erect a tower on Mission
street pier No. ? for the purpose of
exhibiting a new pump. In return for
the privilege the company agrees TO
use its pumping plant in quenching any
fire that may break out in the vicinity.
Chief Wharflnger Welch was instruct
ed to Investigate and determine if the
tower can be erected without interfer-
ing with the business conducted at the
wharf
An estimate of the cost of recon-
structing Union-street wharf No. 2
and placing it at $50, 900 was fled This
wharf was constructed In 1891 at a
cost of $4,000, but the increase in
wages and cost of material necessi-
tates double that outlay at this time.
