age of Ordinance to Lii

The Joint Supervisors committee on
judiciary and fire yesterday considered
the proposed ordinance providing that
no person shall operate passenger ell
evator unless he is more than twenty
one years of age, has had seven days
experience and has secured a license
to do SO from the Board of Supervisors
and Tax Collector.
n. C. Coghlan, representing the Ele-
vator Operators Union, urged the pas
sage of the ordinance. with a view to
improving the condition of elevator
conductors. Cognlan said many. deaths

youth of the conductors. and cited sew
eral cases of accidents that had oc-
Cured during the last few months. The
members OF the union number goo, most
of whom are men of family and none
of them has ever been responsible for
any Of the serious accidents on eleya-
tors, Coglan said. Other cities, includ-
ing Los Angeles, Boston and Minneap-
oils, regulate the occupation, said Cogh-
lan who said that many accidents oc-
cur on elevators run by inexperienced
boys in apartment houses which are
hushed up.
Supervisor Walsh thought the age
limit should be Is years and Supervisor
Nicholas said the 21-year limit might
result in the employment of Japanese
and Chinese. NJ. Field. president of the
Elevator Operators Union. told of re-
cent accident in the Ramona apartment
house whereby a woman had her foot
crushed in an elevator run by boy
who had only half an hours experience
in running an elevator.
B. Cadwalader. secretary of the San
Francisco Real Estate Board, argued
against the passage of the ordinance,
unless the age limit were eliminated
and thought the employer should not be
held liable for employing non-licensed
conductors. The committee requested
the interested parties to agree on a
compromise ordinance, which will be
recommended for passage.

Increased bank elearings and the surpris-
ingly little adverse effect of the coal min

features presenting themselves this week.
On the Pacific Coast and in Texas and
the Southwest moisture is abundant. and
the wheat crop as a whole compares IA

That the year 1906 started out TO eclipse

houses, which is the lowest commercial
death rate for the first three months of

uneventful compared with your State.
Her landscape is not nearly so pleasing,
nor is her climate so invigorating. Phe
people of Florida are complaining bitter
iy of the inroads that California is max
ing on her tourist trade. Many Of the
large Florida hotels found this year that
their winter business had greatly de-
creased. 49,

WILL NOT CUT ITS WIRES
WITHOUT COMPENSATION
works Board Asks Legal Opinion on
Gas Company's Refusal to Remove
ObstructfonS Temporarily.

The Board of Works yesterday heard
the complaint of the Pacific Construc-
tion Company. which has the contract
for the Sixth-street sewer, that The San
Francisco Gas and Electric Company
would not permit its wires to be cut
unless it was compensated for the ex-
pcnse. 1t is necessary to cut the wires
so as to allow the driving of piles as a
foundation for the sewer, the ground
being in the nature OF a quagmire.
After q discussion the construction COM
nany agreed to cut the wires at Sixth
and Brannan streets at its own expense
and the City Attorney will be asked for
an opinion as to whether the claim of
the gas company that it is exempt from
municipal regulations affecting its con-
struction is a valid one. The board de-
sires to know if the company cannot
be compelled to remove its overheard
wires temporarily to permit of public
improvements being carried out.
