Some Things to
Think About
The Free School system.


He tells us that his party provided
an efficient free school system" /
was Of opinion that this efficient free
school system was provided by the
constitution Of 1863, but, possibly,
that's a mistake, and possibly there
was no free school system until the
Democratic party came into power in
1871. But If SO, the histories and the
public documents are very inaccurate
indeed. According to the tables in
the auditors report, when the Repub.
Leans went out of power the irreduci.
bic school fund amounted to nearly
100000; and, even in the year 1866,
right after the close Of the war, the
distrlbutable school fund amounted to
nearly $4,000. And 1t is further
shown by this table that the Repub-
llcan administrations distributed to
the schools Of the State from the gen
eral school fund from 1866 to 1870,
81, 4OO,5O1.64.
1t is a further fact that in the last
year Of Governor MacCorkle's admin
istration they distributed $365,OOO to
the schools of the State, and in the
present year, ten years later, there
was distributed $7SS,OOO, or more than
double the amount distributed in the
last year of the Democratic admins.

The Spring Valley Water Company.
already badly shocked by the disturb
ance of April is, suffered another tenn
bior yesterday. President Charles
Webb Howard and Secretary Pelham
Ames handed in their designations,
which were accepted
Vice President A. II. Payson and
Assistant Secretary B. H. Howard
were respectively elected to the va
Gated positions. Second Vice President
j. NJ. Quay becoming vice president
The reasons given at the offices OF
the company for these designations are
ill-health and a desire to curtail the
expenses of the company. President
Howard, it is stated. is i'll and aged
and felt that at the crisis he should
help out by giving up his position with
it's emoluments. The fact that 1t is
the son Of Howard, F. H. Howard, who
becomes secretary by the changes, is
pointed out as proof that the new ar
rangement was amicable and not the
result of friction over the present diff
ftcultles of the company.
AS to the resignation Of Secretary
Ames, the statements are less def
mite. 1t is merely stated that the con-
dition of the company made reduc-
ton Of expenses necessary and that
Ames, who had been in the service
of the company many years, volun-
teered to sacrifice himself.
The loss of income of the company
through the earthquake and fire, Vice
President Quay says, will be about
100000 month, the services havine
been reduced from 5000 to 10000. To
be added to this will be the expense
OF reconstructing the broken mains and
reservoirs.
The water condition, however. is
rapidly improving The engineers have
been agreeably surprised the last few
days with the condition OF the mains
The pipes are far more intact than had
been expected. The Western Addition
is now supplied and the Richmond Dis
trict will be supplied this morning
The stoppage of waste has raised the
pressure considerably and the engi-
neers are now very sanguine.

Injuries by an
Accident.

A two-story frame building at 3215

evening and John Leis, tenant, was

house, which had withstood the earth
quake shock, was badly shattered.
leaking pipe. The gas main in the
neighborhood had been repaired and
gas restored. Workmen took out the
meter<of the house during the day and
plugged the pipes, but they evidently
left a hope where the fluid escaped.
Early in the evening Leis went to
the basement with a candle. He had
hardly opened the door of the cellar
when there was terrific report caused
by the gas coming into contact with
the lighted caLdle. Material from the
and the neighborhood for blocks
around was in great excitement. Some
of the residents believed at first it was
another earthquake, while others
thought the shock was caused by dyna-
mite.
Leis was badly injured. His face
was burned anc his eyes were closed.
His family and the landlord, c. FAN
renkrug, who occupied one room. were
rescued by Sergeant Hook, Corporal
Lane and Policeman McGrath. A still
alarm was turned in. The flames were
extinguished. however, with a garden
hose before the department arrived.
There have been numerous complaints
by residents of the odor of gas escap-
ing from leaking mains and in the Mis-
sion district passersby can easily de-
tect the odor of the escaping fluid

sion and the fact soon developed that
it was the consensus of opinion that
the height Of buildings should not be
restricted, as suggested by architects
before the general committee, to one
and a half times the width Of the
street.
1t was pointed out that the widening
Of streets, the cutting of new boule
wards and the laying out of additional
parks within the burned district will
take many acres from the district that
will eventually be covered by new
buildings and will, of course, enhance
the value Of all property within the
burned district
In view of this fact It was thought
wise not to retrict the height Of build
ings, but to permit every man to take
the best advantage possible Of the
property that will remain in his hands.
The character of soil and the engineer
ing problems to be met in various por-
tions of the city will in themselves af.
feet to a certain extent the height of
buildings, but as to this 1t was agreed
10 permit every architect to be his own
judge as to the weight that may be
safely carried by any lot in question.
The question of construction was also
briefly discussed at the meeting and
1t Is quite probable that the so-called
class A construction will not be in
sisted upon. Suggestion was made that
reinforced concrete construction would
be proof against both earthquake and
fire and that other and cheaper meth
ods also might be advantageously used
AL of these questions will be dealt
with in a report now being prepared
by the subcommittee and 1t is prob
able that 1t will be fled when the gem
eral committee meets today.
