WATER SUPPLY,
Then CHIMNEYS
Chief Inspector Porter EX-
plains Reason Of the
Delay.
Stoves May Be Used When
Fire Department Is Not
Hampered.

The following important statement
concerning chimney inspection has
been sent to The Call by F. H. Porter,
inspector for the underwriters:
with a view TO dispelling certain
misunderstanding in relation to CHM
ney inspections 1t is desired to state
that delay in making final inspection
and giving permission for the use Of
chimneys is necessitated by the fact
that certain sections OF the city are
still without water for fire purposes,
while the supply in other sections Is
intermittent, being entirely shut off at
times in some localities and in others
being below the normal pressure. The
water supply Is improving steadily,
but the officials OF the Fire Depart.
ment have SO far been unable TO ex-
press that confidence in the water sup
ply for fire purposes. without which
it would be unwise TO allow the use
Of fires IN buildings.
Special inspections have been made
OF hospitals. institutions and laundries
for sanitary reasons, and Of restau-
rants, blacksmith shops and factories
to expedite the return of business to
normal conditions, and permits to use
chirnneys 10 the number Of 717 have
been issued. including many premises
wherein illness was found.
Inc necessary HeddQudrlerS lot M
teen inspection districts are being pre-
pared, the necessary stationery pro-
vided and force of inspectors secured,
and it is now expected that the final
inspections Of all chimneys will be be-
gun on Monday, May 81, 1906. permits
for the use OF chimneys found IN good
condition being issued whenever the
water supply for fire purposes is found
to be satisfactory.
Meantime owners should have their
ci1imneys properly repaired ready for
final inspection. F. H. PORTER,
Chief Inspector.

MARRiEs A SECOND TINE

evening. and in the marriage records
the grO0rn's name viii be changed from

the necessity Of employing an attorney

Through some mistake at the time
Of the issuance Of the first marriage
license Marson's first two names be-
came traasposed. and later when he
and his wife acquired title to property
his names appeared in the deed IN
proper order, but not corresponding
TO the way Il appears in the mar
riage record. This irregularity was
noted by searchers Of records. with
the result thet il has apparently made
cloud on the title TO the property.

OFFICIALS MAY
WORK HARDSHIP
Colonel Febiger's Plans to
Feed the Deserving
Seem Harsh.
OVerIOOkS the Magnificent
Distances of Mission
District.

Colonel Leo Febiger and the officials
under him are preparing heroic meas
ures to limit the quantity Of free ra-
tions and seem in fair way to i'm
posing extreme hardship upon many
deserving persons.
The plans provide for but three sta
tions in the Mission, which is a dis
trict OF magnificent distances. AS
outlined these stations will be at Nine
teenth and Douglass streets, Nine
teenth and Dolores, and Twenty-fifth
and Guerrero. Under this arrange
ment the people living at Ingleside
and those along the San Mateo County
line at ocean View must go to Twen-
ty-fifth street for whatever food is
doled out to them.
The object Of this system Is to weed
out the undeserving, but il works a
hardship upon the worthy men and
women who are anxious to find work
and become self supporting. 1t Is
pronounced a physical impossibility to
properly feed the deserving poor at
Ingleside and Ocean View from the
Twenty fifth street station.
The Red Cross officials and others
in authority are tae representative
OF the people and should temper their
actions with mercy. They should not
adopt high-handed methods which
work a hardship upon those who have
already suffered much, both physically
and financially.
