FAVOR AN AUXILIARY
WATER SYSTEM

The Supervisors public utilities COM
mittee considered yesterday the petit
ftion of the Merchants Association for
submission to the voters of PROPOSE
ton to acquire. through bonded in
debtedness, an auxiliary saltwater,
high-pressure system.
l.. M. King, secretary of the Mer-
chants Association. stated that under
to install pumping stations at various
pumping plant to be equal to the power
did not approve the high pressure sys-
tenn from Twin Peaks, because there
was danger of the distributing system
becoming destroyed, and the measure
of safety lies in pumping stations King
said the estimated cost of the system
in district No. l. including fireboat
pumping station. would be 81, 500, 900
and that of districts 2 and 3, $750,000.
The plan was favored by /. Jacobs,
who said $5,000,00O a year, would be
saved In insurance. Rufus Jennings
and Hartland Law favored immediate
action in the matter and f. FL. Porter
stated that the fire underwriters advo-
Gated the proposition.
John ]. Eagan, who has applied for a
franchise for an extensive system of
subways, stated that If his franchise
were granted he would run a line of
saltwater pipes in the subways. The
committee took the matter under adj
visement and will in all likelihood file
a favorable report thereon next Mon
day.

Oiucers and members of the corps
feel keenly their inability to give their
usual Thanksgiving repast to the hun
areas OF deserving poor. which has al
ways been one of the many practical
charities of that hard working organ
lzallon But local fire-resultant condi-
IONS coupled with the relief work the
army has prosecuted consistently since
me holocaust, made the giving of the
oinner an impossibiIity.
working Independently of the official
relief organizations the Salvation Army
has done a highly meritorious work.
hundreds of cases, in which compli-
ance with the necessary red tape in
vowed in the official relief work would
nave resulted in great hardship and
suierlng. have been reached by the
urect individual methods of the sal
vauonists and refuge shelters have
been maintained in their several bar
racks. This work has been a severe
strain on their resources. recognizing
the great demands made on the chari-
tably inclined, the Salvationists deemed
II lneXpedient to attempt to raise a
Thanksgiving dinner fund.
But to insure the usual Christmas
dinner the corps leaders have inaugu-
rated comprehensive campaign. They
have opened headquarters at Post and
Fillmore streets, 1911 Mission street
and at Twenty fourth and Mission
streets for the reception and CLASH
fication of applications for participa-
ton in the distribution of Christmas
dinner baskets. Applications for din
ners are invited and the details have
been assigned to districts for a can
vass which is intended to disclose any
worthy poor persons who would not
apply. A general invitation has been
extended to the public to report such
cases.
The 1906 Christmas dinner will be
entirely free from that element of pub
licity which prevented share of the
good cheer reaching some deserving
but sensitive persons on the occasion of
like charitable efforts. Baskets will be
made up to meet the requirements of
families to be determined by the can
vass now being conducted. The bas-
kets will be delivered at the homes
of the families on Christmas day.
